THE POWERS AND TURKEY.
TERRITORIAL CLAIMS.
(Received Nov. 5,. 9.15 a.m.) PARIS, Nov. 4. M. Poincare has suggested that, prior to mediation by the Powers, they should give a pledge not to make territorial claims. Great Britain and, Russia have .accepted, but Germany and Austria have not replied. Viennese papers argue that Austria is uttable to pledge herself beforehand without knowing the consequences. ■'"'•; French newspapers fear that Austria intends annexation, thus opening the way for other Powers' ambitions, adding that Italy has an eye on Albania.
Other newspapers suspect Germany of preparing a surjprise, and urge M. Pbineare to temporise. It is semi-officially stated that the Porte-has asked .France ;to- secure the Powers' intervention in order to stop hostilities and'impose an armistice. M: Poincare replied that France was unable to comply without infringing 'international 'law, and was only able to examine with all the Powers the demand for mediation, properly so^-called, if made.
