Hostilities End In Turkey To-day.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 1, 1912:
Terms of Armistice Are Formally Accepted by the Ottoman Cabinet.
APPLIES TO WHOLE WAR AREA
It Will Continue in Force While the Negotiations for Peace Are in Progress.
AUSTRIAN DANGER FADING
Events of Past Week Have Materially Helped to Lessen the Tension Between Great Powers.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Sunday, Dec. 1.— With all the omens pointing to early peace, the week has come to a better ending than any since the first shot was fired in the Balkan war. Even in regard to the Baghtch negotiations for an armistice the fears that Turkey would once more try the issue of combat rather than accept the allies' conditions seem to have been dissipated.
    Confident reports come from both Constantinople and Sofia that the armistice will be signed soon. The Turkish capital asserts that the agreement will be signed this afternoon, probably in the Sultan's palace car, where the delegates have been meeting.
    A dispatch to a Sunday paper from Constantinople says:
    "The situation in regard to peace negotiations, as described to me this morning at official headquarters, is as follows:
    "The Bulgarians have shown a considerable tendency toward conciliation during the last few days and are coming to realize that they are too much exhausted to ever break through the Tchatalja lines.
    "The allies are beginning to dispute among themselves, which is an additional reason for their wishing to end the war quickly.
    "An armistice will almost certainly be signed to-day or to-morrow on the basis of nothing more than a cessation of hostilities and a revictualing of the besieged towns.
    "In the meanwhile all reports sent from here regarding frontier delimitations and other peace terms are absolutely unfounded. The peace negotiations are such that they will begin only when the Greek delegate, who is now due, has arrived with instructions from his Government.
    "Everything looks very promising for a speedy end of the war."
    The chief danger of the Austro-Russian-Servian situation has been removed, according to general agreement, by the openings for discussion supplied by the course of events the past week.
    As Winston Churchill said yesterday, there is no point of difference between Austria and Russia which patience and good feeling cannot adjust and smooth away.
    One of the most satisfactory features of the situation which has arisen from the Balkan difficulties has been the demonstration that Great Britain and Germany have been working together for the common end of peace.
