May Wait To Take Adrianople.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 18, 1912:
Bulgaria, It Is Hinted, Will Not Hasten to Grant Armistice.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Monday, Nov. 18.— A Sofia dispatch to The Times says:
    "The decision of Turkey to address herself directly to the Balkan States with a view to the conclusion of peace affords much satisfaction here, and the impression seems to prevail that nothing more will be heard of mediation by the great powers.
    "No reply has yet been received here from Athens or Belgrade to the Bulgarian communication of the Turkish proposal. The reply of Montenegro was received to-day, but, though its tenor is not disclosed, it may be concluded that King Nicholas will hardly consent to a cessation of hostilities till Scutari has fallen.
    "Whether Bulgaria will be disposed to treat as long as Adrianople holds out seems also to be very doubtful. The siege has cost Bulgaria enormous sacrifices, and now it appears that the fighting which followed last Sunday's sortie was of the most murderous character, several thousands having fallen on both sides.
    "The surrender of Adrianople and Scutari would greatly improve the prospects of peace, but until these events take place it would be rash to predict the early conclusion of an armistice."
