Tur- key and Bulgaria indicated their will- ngness some time ago and it is as- umed that Montenegro will oppose no obstacles. Greece held out for the addition of a protocol until the last moment, when she was assured by Turkey that all conventions prevailing before the war Would resume their effectiveness until an opportunity was given to discuss the points at issue. The protocol which Greece wanted appended to the treaty embodied ervations by the allies on points yet to be discusscd with the powers, such as the financial post bellum settle ment, the fate of the Aegean Islands and the frontiers of Albania. Bulgaria and Turkey refused abso- lutely to have anything to.do with a protocol, the former regarding it as too likely to open up fresh and undesira- ble discussions, the latter as betraying a lack of deference to the powers. While the peace of London may end the war in Turkey, it may be the signal for strife among the allies. iondon, AMay peace between WHY GIRLS LEAVE SCHOOL.

Like Garfield and like the newspa- perman, Thompson, he declared that the colonel could never have got drunk without his knowing it. Told of Campaign Trips. Thompson told of campaign trips he had made with Colonel Roosevelt and of having becn instructed partis ularly by his paper to study the col- onel’s habits, how he said things rather than to quote his words; how the crowds and auditors seemed to take his utterances. Thompson tes- tifled that, having faithfully “covered” the assignment, he knew that on these trips Colonel Roosevelt could not have become intoxicated without his know- | ing it. Universal interest centered in Mr. Garfleld, the son of a president of the United States, testifying in court for a man who had been president. A larger crowd than usual was attract- ed by tho hint that Mr, Garfield would go on the stand, but the overflow crowd, having learned that there is no hope when Sheriff Moloney locks the doors, dispersed more rapidly than had been the case previously, IN COMPETITION WITH THE LABOR OF ASIA Effect of Proposed Amendment to the Tariff Bill, (Special to The Bulletin.y ‘Washington, May 39.—A. representa- tive of the textile interests of Con- nectieut claims to have discovered an- | other “joker” in the tarift bill which will still further reduce the rate charged on foreign imports.
