Fighting has stopped this week throughout the whole theatre of
war. An armistice was signed on Tuesday evening between the delegates of Turkey and Bulgaria, Servia, and Montenegro, but although Greece is thus left out, it seems likely that she will in a day or two either adhere to the armistice or else conclude one of her own on similar lines to that already signed. The armistice is, of course, only important as a pre- liminary to peace negotiations. These are to begin in London in a week's time, and in a day or two the delegates of the Powers concerned will be setting out for England. On the whole, we think London was a good place to choose for the deliberations. Certainly the local atmosphere will be pacific. No one will venture to say that there will be any influences here of a mischief-making kind, calculated to prevent the peace terms, which must have already been sketched in outline, from being concluded.
