PAGE TWO ARMISTICE 10 BE SIGNED TOMORROW Terms of Protocol Are Not Made Public. PEACE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT Austro-Servian Question Now Only Disturbing Factor and Latter Na tion Is Reported Adriatic Port Recently Taken. Constantinople, Dec. 2. —The signing of the two weeks’ armistice which was to have been signed today has been postponed until tomorrow in order to give the representatives of the allies time to reach the city. It is not be lieved, however, that there will be any further delay. The full terms of the protocol have not been made public pending the final signing of the armis tice agreement. Outlook for Peace Good. London, Dec. 2. —While the an nouncement of the postponement of the signing of the two weeks’ armis tice at Constantinople comes as a sur prise, it is generally believed that the outlook for peace is still bright Despite the tenacity with which the Turkish representatives at Bagtche have insisted on the retention of Scu tari and Adrianople as Turkish terri tory, there can be but little doubt that both sides will welcome a cessation of hostilities on any honorable basis. Both have felt the strain severely Turkey, not yet recovered from the struggle with Italy for the possession of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, has been crippled on both land and sea ■while the allies, having plunged into the struggle while ill prepared in or der to take advantage of Turkey’s weakened condition, find themselves in no condition to continue the strug gle with the dash they displayed at the outset. And just now this dash is doubly needful, because of the en fcrced concentration of the Turkish forces at three points—Scutari, Adri l anople and Tchatalja. , Guard Servian Capital. Servia finds herself forced to call out all reserves to guard the capital against a possible attack by Austria; Montenegro, having rushed into the field without either proper commis sary or hospital equipment, has appar ently almost exhausted her strength In the seemingly futile effort to reduce the Turkish stronghold at Scutari. Bul garia would seem to be in similar plight, as the failure to press the fight ing at Tchatalja when the Turks showed signs of weakening can hard ly bo a disturbing factor. It is report ed in London that Servia is now ready to give up Durazzo, the port recently occupied by King Peter, and his men, in return, it is said, for another port on the Adriatic and this Austria is quite likely to consent to. Although nothing has come to light as to the terms of the armistice, which has been arranged between Turkey and the Balkan states, it is said on good authority that Bulgaria has with drawn her demand for the surrender of Adrianople. Nothing has leaked v out as to the exact demarcation of ter ritory that will appear on the new maps after the peace treaty shall have 'been signed. Armistice Is Sanctioned. t The Turkish cabinet has already ap proved the protocol of the armistice and an irade has been issued m Con stantinople sanctioning It. The armis tice will continue effective so long as the preliminary negotiations for peace continue. Meanwhile the men of both sides are resting on their arms. The movement which had its incep tion in England looking to the estab lishment of a diplomatic “clearing house,” composed of the ambassadors of the great powers, to exchange views on all questions arising out of the present imbroglio, is gaining ground daily and the Pall Mall Gazette pre dicts that it will be an accomplished fact within a few days. This will greatly facilitate the peace negotia tions which are to follow the an nouncement of the armistice, as it will be hardly possible for the countries Involved to arrange a treaty of peace without constant consultation -with the other powers. gives labor free 11 years Hugh Hopper, Gardener for Clara Morris, Declines to Take Pay for His Services.

Say yours was a quarter, then it must have weighed about 630 pounds!” “It only weighed twenty pounds,” said Jones, sadly; “but I bought it alive and tried to kill it myself. It flew all over the house first and did $l5O worth of damage.” Hog Easily Identified. A little neighbor girl, four years old, remarked: “I wonder how God found names for everything.
