The news received of the surrender of two en tire, divisions of Turkish reserves to the Bulgarians in the neighborhood of Demotica, a short distance south of Adrianople, after severe fighting shows there still are large isolated bodies of Turkish troops unaccounted for which' must be considered in ar ranging an armistice.

Although it is not yet ?afe to as sume that an armistice is in sight the fact that the negotiations con tinue at Bagtche and that apparently no definite time limit has been fixed as to the duration of the existing sus pension of hostilities tends toward the belief that a peaceful solution of the trouble is approaching.

The award by the Board of Arbi tration probably brings the fifty-two railroads of the East also face to face with demands for increased wages by the firemen and other employes. The railroads estimated that the de mands on the part of the engineers if granted woiild entail an additional ex penditure of $7,172,000 a year.' If the S same percentage of increase were s granted to other employes the addi tional expense would amount in all to $67,000,000. >* The Board of Arbitration expresses 1- the opinion that this total is too high, a but it does not attempt to give exact r figures as to the additional burden y that the award may impose upon the railroads of the East. The findings of the arbitration board, are regarded here as practically in a suring a renewed attempt on the part * of the railroads to raise freight rates. a P. H.
