Alleged Turkish Peace Plan.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 2, 1912:
Bulgaria Would Get Most of Thrace Without Adrianople.
    PARIS, Dec. 1.— The Constantinople correspondent of the Temps gives, under reserve, the main lines of a peace scheme, as outlined by Turkish semi-official sources.
    According to this scheme. Greece gets Epirus and Servia gets Old Servia and Novi-Bazar, while Bulgaria gets Thrace, following the frontier from Midia to Dedeaghatch or Kavala but excluding Adrianople, which remains connected with Constantinople and the Dardanelles.
    Autonomy is to be granted to Macedonia, with Salonika as the capital.
    Albania, minus the part ceded to Montenegro, and also the provinces, are placed under the suzerainty of the Balkans.
    The final condition is the admission of Turkey to the Balkan League.
