The news that (Ireece alone of the nllles refused to pIrh tho armistice with Turkey last night Is the culls" of pnifound scn-m-tlon In diplomatic circles here. .Somo say that It Is the licKlnnlnK of the end of tho H.ilknn confederacy. Other reports lead one to believe thnt the aimlMlcc Is more than a mere truce and really embodies certain arti cles of the actual treaty of peace. Mumoni arc also current that KlnR rcrdlnand of HulBarhi as well ns aim Ins at peace with Turkey Is aiming at an Hvenlual alliance with her, although there h no definite confirmation of this. All along (Irerc has hindered the armlrtlce proee cdim: .. hut it was thought hardly prolmlile that she would ! tak the allies 1.1 their word and ko on I , with th war alone. lnnlnft, Salonltn and Adrlanoplc th'i" three cltlen and their fate have kept the Sr"k representatives from Joining with the allies, nml their attiludo was first foreshadowed when the Oneks took Palonlra.

Vlenm "'nds a report In this eonnec i tlon which is not confirmed from any 1 other quarter to the effect that 3.000 1 Greeks within the last few days at twnpted to enter Serres, about fifty miles i from aloiilo,i, which was already occu 1 pled by Hulc.irl.ins, and were repulsed With a lo:'. of :r.n killed. When the (ireeks began their siege ' f .Idnlna they were confident of ultl ' mate success. Hut wlien they sent their ' representatives down to the armistice , conferences at ItaKhchctsh they were 'mazed and at the same time Indignant ! to discover that Servla, Montenegro and Bylgarl.i were considering very favor ably that clause In the armistice which provided that all the besieged cities were to-bo revlctualled dally. The Greeks ' felt that this was altogether too lenient. They told their representatives to hold out for the surrender of Janlnn it any rate. Otherwise tho Turks would Import ammunition, arms, coul and . food freely by sea when the blockade . on the Adriatic was raised, as was ' proposed, anil In the event of the re r newal of war all the work would have v to be done over again and Jatiina might ' hold out Indefinitely. Janlna, which Is the most Important town of the Eplrus, ' has nlways bee;; sorely desired by Greece. Greece also felt that If the Ilulg.-.rs were content to let the Turks keep .Adrlanoplc they would demand from Greece land that they had captured from the Turk as compensation. On the islands of Chios and Mttylcne too. where there was righting on Sun day and Monday, tho Greeks felt that they would lose all they had gained if the armies remalnes In their posi tions for the fourteen days of the truce, and they demanded the surrender of tho Turkish armies on those two islands. . SERVIA THE DANCER POINT. Too Flashed With Victory to Henl Itr nrapnnnlbllttr. i Spettat Cable UttpatcK to Th Sc.v. London, Dec. 3. A despatch from Vienna to the Daily Telegraph says: "The little kingdom of Scrvla be comes dally more ond more the de ciding point on which the peace of Europe depends. This Is because she and others believe that Russia will sup port her through thick and thin. Vet Russia has made every effort to per suado Servla to adopt a reasonable at titude. These efforts have been made by secret diplomacy, and something rnore overt Is necessary to bring about the deMred results. "The Servians to-day are too excited and too overwrought by their success to recognize the danger with which Uielr attitude threatens Europe. The European Powers unanimously and at- multaneously should therefore tnke Sc. - - avdcuallon of the Albanian coast, fall ing whV.h Italy nnd Austria should be empowered to turn her troops out of Durazzo, Alcsslo nnd elsewhere. "It can he said from nn authoritative (wtili ce that Servla Is not necessarily determined to remain nt Durazzo. Sho might be willing to exchange It for San Giovanni di Mctlua, for she merely . wants her tlag to fly on the Adriatic, .but Italy will not have the Servian flag ;on tho Adriatic at all. "The speech of Dr. von Bethmann Hollweg. the German Chancellor, has deeply affected all Rurope. and for good trtth the exception of Servla, who seems to believe that she has everything to win and nothing to lose out of a Euro pean war. It Is said that she proba bly will climb down at the last moment, but Austria's patience Is not Inex haustible, and It will be well for Sen-la If she does not delay too lonir. "There Is good ground for the belief that the Balkan Confederation will soon be dissolved into Us component parts." SERVIA REMAINS CALM. OIHclal Belcrade Newspaper Smym ' Khr'm Firm In Albania.

Servla, the Tribuna says, respects the Powers and Is ready to meet their wishes and' accept their decision. Generally speaklnr, the attitude of Belgrade circles Is calm and correct to-day, the paper says, but according to Information from various sources, v"ithe war preparations of Austria and the Jatter's concentration of forces on the frontier are being carried out with such baste and to Kuch an extent that Scr vla will find It necessary In order to safeguard her Interests to make simi lar preparations.

The decree Is considered on act of re taliation for the delay of the Govern ment In recognizing the appointment of the new Archbishop of Genoa, which delay Is alleged to be due to the In trigues of the modernist!-. The trouble In Genoa started last September, when Mgr.

The charge ngalnst Semerla was that ho had been guilty of modernism, hut the real reason was said to be because he had criticised the appointment of Mgr. Caron.

Tammany men and others who lui a less dlrpct Interest in the appolntmni havo been looking, around for th ije. cessor to Mr. Wlllcox.

Tho real troublo that was remarked upon yesterd iy was the question as to what would happen to the subway system if Gov. Sulzer appointed a man who didn't follow the Wlllcox policies. As the commission stands Mr. WiUcot, John K. Kustis, Republicans, and Goorg V. 8. Williams, a Dlx appointee, all favor corporate operation, J. Bergoant Cram and Milo K. Maltbie, Democrats, favor municipal one ration. If Mr. Willcox's successor should fa' or municipal operation the majority of thp commission would be against the plan ns at present outlined, of allowing th. H. H. 1 . and the Interborough to operat the new subways under close contracts with tho city. The hoje of tho city authorities is thai tho contracts for operating the new subways will lie Hlgned beforo sir. Vi!ico goes out of office, and that enough con. htruction contracts will be let to hind the city conclusively to thn plan as alread tentatively agreed to. If operating eon tracts are not out of the way by Kehruar" t and if Gov. Sulzer puts in an unfrieiiill man, then New York will have a chanc to do its subway thinking all over again Tho operating contract with the Inter borough Rapid Transit Company is almn out of the way. The commission and th company are almost in complete agreo nient. and a majority of the Board of Kstimate. who have to approve the form of contract before it can be signed, are understood to favor the contract as it stands. Tho B. R. T. contract is in a different condition. Mr. Willcox said yesterdav that he had no doubt that the two or thru disputed points that remained could I re settled amicably. The main point upon which the B. it. T. and tho conunsiMion has split has to do with interest on the 1J. R. T.'s subway loans. While there is every hope at the Pub'j Service Commission office that this dis pute will lie settled the delay is tnakini oliservers nervous for fear the whota subway system will be thrown into dang-:: NEWPORT OUSTS OLD MAYOR.
