Allies Want No Dictation.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 4, 1912:
    PARIS, Nov. 3.— That the Balkan League has already agreed on a programme of action toward Turkey is stated here on good authority.
    The allies, it is said, mean to dictate terms to Turkey when the time arrives. They will first enforce absolute autonomy in Macedonia and Albania. They purpose then to regulate the autonomous regime in their respective interests, and assume the responsibilities arising therefrom, without interference on the part of outsiders.
    They will permit the great powers to regulate the status of Constantinople and arrange international questions, such as the Dardanelles and the future of Turkey in Asia.
    The powers of the Triple Entente have already sent a note to Bulgaria, Greece and Servia, pointing out the danger to Christians and the serious consequences to the commerce of Europe generally should they occupy Constantinople and Salonika, and earnestly exhorting the Balkan States to arrest the advance of their troops some distance from these two cities.
