Expect War's End To-day.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 30, 1913:
All the States but Montenegro Have Promised to Sign Peace Treaty.
    LONDON, May 20.— The treaty of peace between the Balkan Allies and Turkey, which will be known as the Peace of London, will be signed at noon to-morrow at St. James's Palace, unless some unexpected hitch occurs. Servia, has followed Greece in reluctant orders to her delegates to sign. Turkey and Bulgaria indicated their willingness some time ago, and it is assumed that Montenegro will oppose no obstacles.
    Greece held out for the addition of a protocol until the last moment, when she was assured by Turkey that all conventions prevailing before the war would resume their effectiveness until an opportunity was given to discuss the points at issue.
    The protocol which Greece wanted appended to the treaty embodied reservations by the allies on points yet to be discussed with the powers, such as the financial post-bellum settlement, the fate of the Aegean Islands, and the frontiers of Albania. Bulgaria and Turkey refused absolutely to have anything to do with a protocol, the former regarding it as too likely to open fresh and undesirable discussions, the latter as betraying a lack of deference to the powers.
    While the Peace of London may end the war with Turkey, it may be the signal for strife among the allies. The speech of the Servian Premier in the Parliament at Belgrade on Wednesday, when he explained that Servia desired a modification of the treaty with Bulgaria regarding the division of territory, instead of allaying irritation has increased it to such an extent that it is not likely now that his meeting with Premier Guechoff of Bulgaria, on the frontier will take place.
    All the efforts of Russia to bring about peace between Bulgaria and Servia have apparently failed, and the worst is feared. Meanwhile, the quarrelsome allies are throwing enormous bodies of troops into Macedonia for the purpose of occupying disputed territory.
    The relations between Bulgaria and Greece are still extremely strained. The Bulgars thus far have refused to create a neutral zone at Salonika, where the Greek Premier, M. Venizelos, is waiting to meet the Bulgarian Gen. Ivanoff. This conference is expected to check the Bulgarian militarists, who, apparently, are acting in defiance of the home Government.

    SALONIKA, May 29.— A dispatch from a trustworthy source says that the Bulgarian troops have destroyed the village of Hadji, between Salonika and Serres, and have massacred the Mussulman population.
