Allies Will Not Let Turkey Delay.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 15, 1913:
May Reinforce the Powers' Collective Note with Notice of Resumption of War.
POWERS NOT FULLY AGREED
Ambassadors Have Received the Note Advising Turks to Surrender — Rumania Sticks to Demand.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Jan. 14.— The Balkan peace delegates throughout the day have been considering their next move against the Turks, and it is understood that they are contemplating a step which will make the chances of peace even more remote. Being of the opinion that the collective note to be sent by the powers to Turkey is likely to be ineffective unless its is accompanied by a threat of armed intervention, which the powers find themselves unable to undertake, the allies' delegates spent the day in consultation as to the advisability of supplementing the action of the powers by action of their own.
    Early in the day it was reported that they had decided to recommend that their Governments declare the peace conference at an end and give notice of the termination of the armistice. If, as seems possible, this decision was really taken, it was afterward modified. The present tendency of the Balkan delegates is to see first whether the collective note of the powers will be successful in inducing the Porte to give way. If the Turks remain obdurate or if there is a resort to procrastination, the negotiations will be broken off and the military authorities will be instructed to resume hostilities after the expiration of the four days' notice necessary under the terms of the armistice.
    The delegates, however, are still in constant communication with one another and their Governments and no final decision has yet been taken.
    There is no reason to expect the powers to intervene again should their advice be rejected by the Porte. In that event a renewal of the war would seem practically inevitable.
    No difficulties now stand in the way of collective representations to the Turkish Government. Last week, when the Ambassadors at London drafted a note for submission to their Governments, Germany raised two points of minor importance. These objections have been removed and the collective note is in the hands of the Ambassadors at Constantinople. The Ambassadors will meet, if they have not met already, to determine the form of procedure, and a reasonable interval will be given to the Turkish Government in which to make its decision.
    The greater issue of peace or war overshadows for the moment the controversy between Bulgaria and Rumania. Negotiations between these Governments have made no progress. Rumania shows no disposition to abate an inch of her claim to the strip of Bulgarian territory from Silistria to Karnova. Dr. Daneff is waiting for further instructions from his Government, which naturally is preoccupied with the Turkish problem and preparations for renewing the war.
