Constantinople, Nov. It As I write,
the announcement that the armistice has
been declared Is expected hourly. The
ministers, both yesterday and to-dar.
held Ions and anxious meetings, at which
reports from commanders at the front
were considered. These reports state
bluntly that their poslton Is absolutely
hopeless, and the Tchatalja lines can
not hold out many days at the best. .
But the enemy cholera Is doing dam
age In the Turkish army. Sanitary con
ditions are frightful, and yesterday's
mortality reached 3,000.
The Turkish commanders are In despair,
as it Is Impossible to stay the Increase
In the terrible visitation. The disease
has appeared in its most virulent form,
and the deaths already run well Into Ave
figures. Those attacked are simply left
to die without the slightest attention.
Diner Halls Wide Open.
Constantinople, largely ignorant of the
awful conditions at the front, remains
extraordinarily calm. Business continues
as usual, and the music halls and other
places of amusement are still filled night
ly with gay. crowds as though there was
nothing so remote as war Nothing more
unlike a city with an enem hammering

"MYSTICCIRCLE"
CAUSES TROUBLE
Organization, Outgrowth of
Mixed Eugenic Classes, Cause
of Immorality.
Madison Wis., Nov 15. The famous
"Mystic Circle" described as existing In
the State University bj Prof Blttman,
who went to Federal prison for writing
to voung women of the doings of this
circle, has been duplicated In the city
high school, according to a confession to
the cljv police, which tells of the exist
ence of a group of nearly a score of
girls and half a dozen boys who devoted
much of their time outside of school
house to undue associations.
Partly as a result of this exposure, and
partl to the teaching of problems of
life in mixed classes, parents of thirty
girls representing the best families In
the city have- withdrawn their daughters
irom tne school
A demand will be made to the school
authorities for the separate education of
girl and boy students In such subjects
as Dotany, zoolog), and biology.
The exposure came as a result In Mil
waukee of a man accused on a statutory
cnarge uv one 01 ine scnoolglrls, a class
mate, and the subsequent wedding of the
roupis to prevent prosecution The clrl.
In applying to the police for the war
rant for the joung man. described the
'Mj stic Circle' as consisting of seen-J
itrcii i aM w wja oi me scnooi,
all of whom were frequently associated
in grossly immoral practices How much
further the immorality extends through
out the school cannot be known, but the
lurents wbo have withdrawn their
daughters say that this Is done to pre
ent their correspondence with the male
members.
It is said that there has been much
protest against the teaching of botany
In mixed classes. While they hae al
wajs belle d In the education of the
joung in sex problems, ns a means of
preventing their Indulgence, the principal
siys that the protesting parents declare
that Instead of education in such prob
lems preventing vice It has served to
arouse the curiosity,, of the pupils and
caused rather than prevented Indulgence.
Segregation of the classes in botany will
be the result, according to the authori
ties. Not only. It is said, did the study
of botany Introduce the students to the
problems of life, but the botanical ex

Arthur C Mosr at the opening of
the meeting staled to the directors that
for reasons which he need not go Into

use of his name as candidate for re
election Mr Moses was promoted to
the office of president about a month
ago to fill out the unexpired term of

the precedents of the organization, would
have been eligible to re-election to a full
term It Is understood that ono of the
reasons whlcn Influenced Mr. Moses In
his determination not to serve is that
he expects to be absent from Washing
ton a part of the year on a traveling
tour.
Gnde onilnafes Droop.
Mr Droop was placed in nomination
by William F Gude. which was seconded

Odell S Smith nominated Mr Browne
for first vice president, commending his
abilities and fitness for the position. Mr
Browne, after the casting of the ballot,
replied that he did not-recognlze himself
any such person ar the nominating
speech portrayed, and as the duties of
the first vice president were purely nom
inal and honorary, he would accept.
John Weaver nominated E. C Graham
to succeed himself as second vice presi

William H Singleton for the same posi

favor of Mr. Graham, who was declared
unanimously, elected.
Wfe F. Gude nominated IMUlam J. Ey

the directors to fill the vacancy caused
by the elevation of Mr. Droop to the of

In anticipation of the adoption of a
new set of traffic regulations exclusively
announced in The Washington H.rald
vesterday. prominent leaders In child
welfare and playgrounds work anxiously
are awaiting the publication of the new
regulations to ascertain what measures
wtr b adopted looking at out to tha
granting of greater liberties to the chil
dren and more adequate protection.
On the suggestion of MaJ. Sylvester
and supcrviror of Playgrounds Martin a
committee composed of these two and
Tire Chief Wagner virtually have de
cided upon a report recommending that
parts of certain streets be set aside for
certain hours each day for roller skating,
necesary traffic during, those hours be
ing required To take exceptional precau
tions when traversing the area so set
aside
In line with this plan Charles F
Weller, formerly at the head of the Asso
ciated Charities here, now associate sec
retary of the Playground and Recreation
Association of America, suggests that
certain blocks In the residential sections
of the city be set aside for a couple of
hours each afternoon for ufe as street
play grounds traffic during thos hours
being confined to the delivery of goods
to buildings in the areas so protected.
This question has not. It Is understood,
been considered by the Commissioners,
but as their attitude always has been of
marked friendliness toward anything
practical ana seexmg to arford children
a greater measure of liberty and protec
tion wttn ciuf regard to the richts of
others It Is believed that this suggestion
in one form or another will receive their
favorable consideration
Whether provision for these two nlans

tions upon which Commissioner Johns
ton now Is working Is problematical.
ine committee considering the serrera
tion of selected blocks for use by roller
SKatcrs oetween certain hours will be
reaujr tB- report alter anotner meeting.
It is understood The committee, un
less present plans are changed, will
recommend that one block In each of
the thirty precincts be selected for this
purpose, and that between the hours
of 7.30 and S o'clock each evening traffic
over these blocks be confined to neces
sary movements and that all vehicles
be required to maintain a low rate of
speed when passing through these blocks
This speed limit will be something under
eight miles an hour. It is believed.
In selecting the blocks to be so treated
the committee has taken them where
there has been the least traffic nnrt.r
normal conditions Of course, fire runs
have been avoided. While It Is not
to be expected that all street roller
skating will be confined to these blocks
because of the added protection. It Is
believed that many, who under trof
conditions use any convenient paved
street, will be drawn together: that the
certainty ot iinding other skaters In
one place In each precinct wilt act as
an Incentive to draw them from other
streets where they at once Jeopardize
their own safety and annoy and Impede

"I think It Is the universal sentiment

"The list of members of Congress and
prominent Democrats throughout the
country who had expressed themselves
on the subject showed that the :nt!
ment In faver of the calling of an extra
session was widespread I might say al
most unanimous. The extra session will
have the advantage of giving us an
early start toward effecting the reforms'
to which tne Democratic party
pledged."

ment before embarking on his vacation
