Powers Still United.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 22, 1912:
Mediation to End the War May Come After Battle at Adrianople.
    PARIS, Oct. 21.—The fears expressed in Constantinople of possible aggression by Russia to the Caucasus while Turkey's hands are fully occupied in the Balkans are not shared by the French Foreign Office. This was officially reiterated to-night.
    All the powers of both the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente remain united in their determination to localize the fighting and to end the war at the earliest moment.
    Mediation at the first opportunity has been decided upon, and in the opinion of the diplomats this may come after a great battle, which will doubtless be fought around Adrianople. It is expected that this battle will be so far-reaching as to leave both sides weakened to such an extent that European intervention would be welcomed.
