BALKAN STATES MAKE PEACE
RUSSIA FORCES SETTLEMENT
_ 1
NONE OF THE BELLIGERENTS ARE SATISFIED—TURKEY RE
TAINS ADRIANOPLE, GREEC E GETS KALAVA—NEW
BOUNDARIES ARE DEFINED.
Bukharest, Aug. 7_Terms of
peace have beehi decided upon by
the envoys sent here from Greece,
Servia, Montenegro and those
representing Roumania. The
terms are not satisfactory to any
of the Balkan states, but Russia
has insisted on the treaty being
signed and lias intimated that
unless it is the powerful arm of
the Russian bear will no longer
protect the small Balkan states
from Austrian aggression.
Under the treaty Greece is to
have Kavala, in spite of the.
strenuous objection, of Bulgar
ia and King Ferdinand strongly
resents being deprived of the Ae
gean port. Greece will also re
ceive I he southern portion of Sa_
loniki, a large section of Monas
tic, Epirus and Janina. Servia
will receive all the northern sec
tion of Moastir, part of Saloniki,
and Kossovo will be divided be
tween Montenegro- and Servia.
Bulgaria will receive a consid
erable portion of Macedonia and
the strip of territory fronting u(>
miles on the Aegean .sea, and ex
tending across Turkey to Rou
mania.
The boundary line has been
clearly defined by the powers,
who are also represented at the
conference and they made all of
the Balkan states understand
that the boundary mapped out by
them must go and that a further
appeal to arms will he met with
the displeasure of the European
powers.
Turkey is to have Adrianople,
as I lie powers refuse to expell
them from the city they have tak
en from the Bulgars while they
were Imsy elsewhere, and the war
between the Balkans has result
ed in the recovery by Turkey of a
large strip of territory from the
Aegean sea to the Black sea, in
cluding Adrianople and many
other large cities.
Plans for demobilization were
also formulated to prevent a re
