LIV.—NQ. 293 The Protocol Provides That the Besieged Garrisons Are Not to be Provisioned TWO CONFERENCES IN LONDON AT SAME TIME Peace and Ambassadorial Meetings Likely to Sit Concurrent- ly—Greeks Appeal to Allies to Take No Steps to Weaken Balkan League — Turkish Critics Ascribe Action of Greeks to a Type of Insanity—Elated Over Split of Allies London, Dec.. 4—No news has yet been received that Greece has signed the armistice, although she is expected to do so, as the protocol provides that the besieged garrisons are not to be provisioned, to which Greece had strongly objected. Two Conferences at London. The fact that Turkey has agreed to this clause is held to indicate that there is no likelihood of the immediate surrender of the fortress. It is possi- ble that two conférences may be sit- ting concurrently at London after next week. The proposal for an ambassa- dorial conference reached the Austrian foreign office today and is said to have ben sympathetically received by the Austrian cabinet. Ambassadors to Meet. Count Von Berththold, however, is delaylhg his reply until he has con- sulted with the other members of the triple alliance. As Germany is known {o favor the conference, it is expected that Austria will embrace the pro- posal and the ambassadors are likely to meet at the same’ time as the peace delegates. Greece Apneals to Allies. ‘With respect to the dispute between the allies, it appears that the Greek government addressad last Saturday a dignified and touching appeal to the governments of the allies, beseeching them to take no action calculated to weaken or endanger the league. At the same time Greece offered all her naval and military resources in.case Tur- key declined to accept tercs less dam- aging to what Greece regarded as the allies’ best interests. A New Aspect on Greece's ‘Attitude. It is understood that this appeal forms an important historical docu- ment which will show that Greece, far from having any intention to break away from the league, made the PREPARING SMALLER SIZE GREENBACKS.

Turkish Critics Thu; Account for the Attitude of Greece. * Constantinople, Dec. 4.—Speculation is rife as to the real reason for the failure of Greece to be a signatory to the armistice. It is generally felt that the mere rejection of the special Greek demands did not constitute a sufficient reason for Greece's independ- ent attitude. These demands were the capitulation of Janita and the sur- Tender of ' the Turkish troops in the islands of Ind, Chios and Mytileno. In some quarters the attitude of Greece is ascribed.to megalo-mania— the type of insanity where the ideas are exalted. According to another view, Turkey has succeeded in put- ting a wedge between Greece and the Slav states, between the Greeks and the Bulgarians at Saloniki, being adroitly utilized with that object. ‘The situation has created an appar- ent split in the Balkan league and has aroused the liveliest interest in all circles, and there is much curiosity respecting the final outcome. Meanwhile preparations for the oon- clusion of peace with Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro are being proceeded with. ¥ has been agreed that the ne- gotlations will take place in London and with good will on both sides, it is hoped that they will conclude'in about eight days. - Thus, with the conclu- slon of peace, the Slav states and Turkey will be free to devote all their energles against Greece. - “State of War With Greece.” Constantinople, Dec.. 4—An official note issued this evening says: “An ar- mistice has been conciuded with Bul- garia, Servia and Montenegro. The state of war with Greece continues.” INVALID BURNED TO DEATH IN BED. Pet Dog Knooked a Lighted Lamp from the Table. _East' Hartford, Conn., Dec. 4—Mrs. Hattie A, Butler, aged 75, widow of John Butler, was burned to death in her sick bed tonight. It is believed the fire started when her pet dog knocked a lighted lamp from the table and that the flames communicated to the bed clothing. The dog is missing. Mrs. Butler lived alone, but neighbors came in daily and attended to her wants. The fire had made considerable headway when the firemen arrived. Fireman Edward Mariowe rushed up- stairs, groped about in the heavy smoke and finally located Mrs. Butler’s body.

He declared that on $30,000,000 worth of coal Boston had paid - $70,000,000 in transportation charges and that something should be done to improve the conditions. The government would take possession of the coal mines of the country in a few years, he asserted, if things kept on as they had been goilng during the past few years.
