Re-enter Turkey.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 15, 1913:
    When the first definite threats of war were announced from the Balkans it was reported that Turkey was, on the one hand, seeking aid from Rumania, and, on the other, was trying to detach Greece from the Balkan League. It is a curious turn of the wheel of fortune that brings the Sublime Porte back to nearly these same measures. The energetic and relentless foes who surprised Turkey in the midst of the reorganization of her army and drove her forces back to the Tchatalja lines, who overran her European provinces and threatened Constantinople itself, have fallen out among themselves.
    While Bulgaria, apparently the strongest of them a month ago, is now forced to submit tamely to invasion from Rumania, and appeals to Europe to protect her from dismemberment, the Government of Turkey is said to be negotiating with Rumania and proposing to Greece a plan to turn over the greater part of the conquered Thracian territory in return for re-entry into Adrianople. It adds a dramatic touch to the situation that Europe rings with tales of "Bulgarian atrocities," as it did when Gladstone launched his indignant epithet of "the unspeakable Turk," and now the atrocities are by, not on, the Bulgarians. Needless to say, there are countercharges against Servians and Greeks, and probably a good deal of truth on both sides. It is not likely that Turkey will be allowed to take very much by her renewed efforts. It fits in with the adjustment of the conflicting interests of the European Powers that she shall not be crushed, and especially that she shall keep Constantinople, since the Powers cannot agree that any other nation shall take it. But it does not accord with their plans that Turkey shall regain possession of any considerable portion of the Balkan Peninsula. She may be allowed more than the preliminary treaty provided, in order that the defense of Constantinople from the European side may be rendered more secure. But, bad and puzzling as conditions now are, Europe will not readily grant that Turkey shall regain a hold which in the long run she cannot possibly retain. The job that has been so bloody and costly and so dangerous to European peace is done, and the Powers will hardly care to invite a repetition of it.
