Bulgars And Turks Ready For Alliance.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 7, 1912:
Could Draft Satisfactory Peace Treaty in 48 Hours, Says Vienna Report.
GREECE RECEIVES WARNING
Austrian and Italian Ministers Tell Athens Government It Could Not Keep Avlona.
    LONDON, Saturday, Dec. 7.— Pending the assembling of the peace delegates in London the Balkan allies are preparing a Joint draft of the demands which are to be made on Turkey and, it is understood, are exchanging communications with a view to arriving at an agreement defining their own mutual obligations.
    The formal acceptances of all the powers to send delegates to the Ambassadorial conference to be held in London have not yet been received, but there is no reason to suppose there will be any delay in the assembling of the conference.
    A dispatch to The Daily Telegraph from Vienna declares that Bulgaria and Turkey have already agreed in principle on peace and are ready for an alliance. Both countries, the correspondent adds, are so well acquainted with each other's intentions that they could draft and sign a satisfactory peace treaty within forty-eight hours.
    The correspondent concludes by declaring that peace in the Balkans probably will leave Adrianople Turkish and Salonika internationalized.
    A dispatch to the same paper from Sofia says that if Salonika is internationalized,
    Bulgaria will devote all of her financial energy to the creation of a great town and seaport at Orfano, southeast of Seres, and the building of a railway straight down the Struma Valley to the sea, putting Sofia in direct and easy communication with the Mediterranean. If this railway should be built, the correspondent adds, Salonika would lose much of its importance.
    The position of Greece in refusing to sign the armistice remains unchanged. The Greeks are said to be continuing their campaign on the Island of Chios and at Janina, and their ships are closely searching foreign steamers found between the Dardanelles and Smyrna.
    Telegraphing from Constantinople, the correspondent of The Daily Express asserts that Vienna has been chosen as the scene for peace negotiations between Turkey and Greece. He says the Turkish Ambassador at Vienna has received full powers to negotiate with the Greeks, and will be assisted by Osman Nizami Pasha, Ambassador to Germany.
    It is reported from Vienna that Servia has set up several batteries on the right bank of the Danube opposite the Hungarian town of Orsova.
