Consider Turkey's Plea.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 4, 1913:
Ambassadors Meet in London to Discuss Mediation Appeal.
    LONDON, Tuesday, March 4.— Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, presided yesterday at a meeting of the Ambassadors of the Powers to consider Turkey's application for mediation.
    According to semi-official statements emanating from Sofia, the Allies will not agree to mediation unless the Porte consents to surrender Adrianople, Scutari, and Yanina, and to pay an indemnity.
    Unconfirmed reports are published in Vienna of an Albanian rising against the Servian occupation of towns in Albanian territory. According to these reports, communication with Scutari has been reopened and the garrison has been supplied with arms and ammunition.
    Fighting continues in the Yanina district, where the Greeks assert that they have gained some small successes.

    ROME, March 3.— Italy is using all her influence with the Balkan States to induce them to observe moderation in their demands upon Turkey and thus bring about peace at an early date. Italian officials have pointed out to the Balkan administrations that such an attitude would strengthen the sympathy of Europe toward their cause.
    The appointment of Gen. Boyovitch, one of the Servian delegates at the London Conference, as commander of the forces besieging Scutari is considered an indication of the firm determination of the Servians and Montenegrins to take Scutari at any cost. Gen. Boyovitch is one of the most daring of the Servian commanders. It was a force under him which captured Monastir at the point of the bayonet.

    CONSTANTINOPLE, March 3.— Fighting has completely ceased in the past two days along the Tchatalja lines in front of Constantinople, as well as at Bulair in the Gallipoli Peninsula, owing to heavy snowstorms, according to an official announcement to-day.
    The Bulgarians and Servians investing the fortress of Adrianople bombarded the city throughout yesterday.
