NO END OF WIR DEADLOCKSEEN Turk Envoys Present Maximum Proposal, Differing Far From Demands. a / LONDON, Dec. 28.—The deadlock in the Turko-Balkan peace conference re mains unbroken. After a session of an hour and 45 minutes In St. James pal ace today the envoys adjourned until Monday without any progress having been made. A dark outlook prevailed when the delegates resumed their session after a four-day recess. Rechtd Pasha, of the Ottoman delegation, who presided at the meeting, submitted Turkey’s maxi mum proposals to offset the maximum demands of the allies. The margin of difference between the two notes was so great as to cause much doubt whether the deadlock would be broken sbon. The allies are standing firm upon their contention that Turkey shall not be allowed to retain more than a foot hold on Europe, whereas the Ottoman plenipotentiaries ridicule this proposi tion, saying "that Turkey should not be deprived of territory she was valiant ly defending when the armistice put an end to hostilities.” 3
