Fighting To Hurry Peace.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 18, 1912:
London So Interprets the Resumption of Hostilities.
    LONDON, Monday, Nov. 18.— The resumption of hostilities at Tchatalja is not regarded here as indicating the collapse of the peace negotiations, but rather as a means to hasten Turkey's acceptance of the allies' terms by proving her complete helplessness, or, as one correspondent phrased it, "to establish an accomplished fact before making further communications."
    The Bulgarian Government organ, Mir, reverts to the subject of peace, and plainly intimates that the allies are prepared to consider the question of an alliance with Turkey, provided the latter promptly accepts their terms, which would give Turkey the opportunity of welding her territories into a modern State and making friends of her conquerors.
    The Balkan States clearly have in mind the formation of such an alliance as would be able to defy European interference in the disposition of the spoils of war.
