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.

Trouble and a Turkey.

“That’s nothing to the turkey I had
last Christmas,” said his friend Jones.

“One hundred and fifty dollars!”
positively shrieked Brown, in his in
credulity.
“Yes,” said Jones, bitterly.
“Turkeys,” said Brown, looking him
straight in the eye, “are generally to
be bought for a quarter a pound. 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.”

Impossible to Tell All.
“Will you solemnly swear that the
testimony you shall give shall be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth?” “No; I won’t swear
to anything of the kind,” answered
the man who had been a witness in
several big cases. “The lawyers won’t
let me tell half the truth.”

‘‘Will you work for one dollar a
day?” “Certainly,” said this am
bitious boy, “I will work for any
thing I can get.”
His rise from a dollar a day at
stake-driving to perhaps the larg
st salary in the world reads like a
fairy story.
“Everybody,” says Mr. Schwab, “is
expected to do his duty; but the one
wh' does more than his duty is the
one to succeed.”
One duty, and an important duty,
is to have a savings account.”
You will never gain wealth with
the money you intend to save. There
must be a beginning. Begin today
and tomorrow you will congratulate
yourself.
A dollar will start the account.
