Armistice Ended, But Hope Increases.

    LONDON, Friday, Jan. 31.— The allies have notified Turkey of the termination of the armistice, and hostilities may be resumed on Monday night after the expiration of the four days agreed upon. The denunciation of the armistice dates from 7 o'clock last night.
    Dispatches received at the Bulgarian legation from Sofia state that fighting will be resumed on the day and at the time mentioned and that "war correspondents will not be allowed to attend military operations."
    The fact that the notice to end the truce synchronized with Turkey's reply to the powers seems calculated to preclude any further efforts toward mediation which the powers might have thought fit to make in view of the terms of the Ottoman answer, which is regarded as conciliatory and which might, under other conditions, have formed a basis for renewed pourparlers.
    Despite the apparent gloominess of the outlook, hope is still entertained in diplomatic circles that it will be possible to avert the renewal of the war. It is stated from more than one quarter that the Turkish Government has again received private friendly advice to yield on the questions at issue, and, as the Turkish army is by no means in a position to assume the offensive with reasonable chances of success, there is even now a prospect that the Grand Vizier, Mahmud Shefket Pasha, may deem it advisable to bow to the logic of circumstances.
