THE BALKAN WAR.
APPEAL TO KING OF ROUMANIA FRANCE ACTING AS MEDIATOR. (Received this morning 12.25 o'clock.) LONDON, July 18. ' To-day's surprise was King Ferdinand's telegram, appealing to the King of Roumania for peace, and expressing a desire to restore amity with Roumania and terminate the bloodshed caused by war w r ith Servia and Greece. King Charles replied that it was desirable t&at all* the belligerents should arrange the preliminaries of peace. He also made it clear tin the march of his army would not bi stayed until Roumania had secured an unconditional cession of territory within the Turtukai, Dobritch, and Baltohik line, and a decid'ng voice m the partition of the Balkans. France has initiated an international step, intended to induce Bulgaria to appoint plenipotentiaries to discuss with Greece and Servia thf 'teras % of peace. France has advised Roumania not to occupy Sofia, and has urged Turkey to refrain from advancing beyond the Enos-Midia line. It is understood that the Powers -will not allow Turkey to retain Adrian ople if it is retaken. The Roumanian army is practically dominating the belligerents. It' is suggested in some quarters that the Powers might entrust Roumania with the duty of exercising armed arbitration between the belligerents, possibly Balkan problems. An international conference at Berlin in August is mooted by members of the Triple Alliance.
