For Adrianople Surrender.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 18, 1913:
Condition That the Soldiers Keep Their Arms Is Refused.
    LONDON, Tuesday, March 18.— A Sofia dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company says:
    "The garrison at Adrianople has offered to surrender on condition that the honors of war are allowed to the Turkish soldiers and that they are permitted to keep their arms.
    "The Bulgarians have refused to accept these conditions."
    The European powers have decided largely to ignore the extravagant demands of the Balkan allies and to consider their reply as tantamount to an agreement to accept the proffered mediation.
    The powers in their reply to the allies, after congratulating them on agreeing to mediation, will propose that the frontier line be drawn from Enos, on the Sea of Marmora, to Midia, on the Black Sea, instead of from Rodosto, on the Sea of Marmora, to Midia, all the territory to the west of the proposed line with the exception of Albania going to the allies.
    The European nations will declare that the question of an indemnity to be paid by Turkey cannot be entertained and will remind the allies that the questions of Albania and of the Aegean Islands remain in the hands of the powers for final settlement.

    ATHENS, March 17.— The Greeks have occupied the town of Kliseura, in Albania.
    The Turks offered stubborn resistance, but were forced to retire in the direction of Berat. The Turkish losses were very considerable. The Greeks lost thirteen killed and forty wounded.

    CONSTANTINOPLE, March 17.— An official report claims several victories for the Turks in recent encounters at Tchatalja. The Bulgarians, the report says, suffered heavy losses. The Turks succeeded in entering the village of Kalifakeui.
    With the exception of a feeble artillery duel, it is stated, no important event has occurred at Adrianople.

    ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, March 17.— The Turkish cruiser Hamidieh sailed from here to-day.
    It is reported that she took on ammunition and provisions from a sailing vessel outside territorial waters.
