Bulgars Suppliant And Quite Cowed.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 22, 1913:
Will Offer No Resistance Even Should the Rumanians Enter Sofia.
AGREE TO TERMS OF PEACE
It Is Announced In Bucharest the Sofia Government Has Accepted the Conditions Laid Down.
    LONDON, Tuesday, July 22.— The new Bulgarian Cabinet, under the Premiership of M. Radoslavoff, formally notified the powers yesterday of its readiness to order the cessation of hostilities immediately if the powers could induce Servia and Greece to take a similar course.
    Any idea that the Bulgarian Army is preparing for a counterstroke is now quite abandoned. It has become known that, in his anxiety to bring about peace, King Ferdinand appealed to the German Emperor regarding Rumania's action. The nature of the Emperor's reply has not been disclosed.
    A semi-official dispatch from Sofia says that even should the Rumanians invade the capital no resistance will be offered.
    According to a Bucharest telegram to The Daily Mail, besides accepting the Turtukai-Baltchik line Bulgara has consented to the Rumanian troops remaining in Bulgaria until Bulgaria has concluded peace with all her enemies.
    The Bucharest correspondent of The Daily Telegraph hears, but is unable to confirm, a report that Greece has waived her claim to Kavala and Drama and will content herself with the Salonika hinterland, which would facilitate a peace settlement. He also says that a junction has been established between the Rumanian right wing and the Servians, who crossed the mountains on the frontier in four column.

    BUCHAREST, July 21.— It is officially confirmed here that Bulgaria has accepted the conditions laid down by Rumania and has also agreed to terms of peace with Servia and Greece.

    BIRMINGHAM, July 21.— The Prime Minister characterized the spectacle presented by the Balkan States as "disheartening and repellant" in a speech at the Chamber of Commerce centenary banquet here to-night.
    On the one hand, Mr. Asquith said, were the Balkan States drenching with one another's blood the territory their united efforts had freed from Turkish rule. On the other hand, Turkey, disregarding the Treaty of London, on which the ink was scarcely dry, was taking advantage of the differences between her late enemies to recover her lost territory.
    The powers, continued Mr. Asquith, were doing everything possible to bring the disputants to a peaceful conference. To-day it seemed likely that such a conference would take place.
    "We believe," he added, "that it must result in the immediate suspension of arms and a speedy settlement upon the terms of which, with a view to what has happened, the great powers must and will preserve their own judgment."
    The Prime Minister warned Turkey that if she were ill-advised enough to set the provisions of the Treaty of London at defiance she must be prepared for the introduction of questions which it would be by no means to her interest to bring into the debate.
