DRAFT PEACE TREATY.

-THE ALLIES CONTENT,

TURKEY NOT LIKELY TO SIGN

SERVIA AND BULGARIA

A SERIOUS DEADLOCK

London, May 26

The Ottoman delegates received the Balkan representatives' assurance that they not intend to ask for further modifications of the draft peace treaty.

Router states that Turkey is not likoly to accept the proposed modifications. .

Bulgaria will not agree to a prolongation of the situation, and will probably insist on the Powers imposing the will of Europe upon the belligerents.

It is understood that stringent orders haye1 beon issued to the GrawoBulgarian commanders te provoni a repetition of conflicts.

The Serbo-Bulgarian question is more serious. Bulgaria is unable to countenance Servia's evasion of the treaty. The "Evening News" states that Servia has informed Bulgaria that unless tho treaty is altered Servia will decline to sign tho peace treaty.

The Hon W. Pember Reeves, writing in the "Chronicle,", protests against Italy's tricky diplomacy in resisting the Greek claims to Epirus and the Aegean Islands, and the wretched harbour at Santi Quaranta.

Mr Reeves says tho obstruction of industry and developments by Signor Giolitti, Premier of Italy, will cost Europe much in the next eighteen months. It is time these mischievous adventures were stopped. Greek supremacy in Epirus means the difference between anarchy and progress.
