A week has passed with varying re iwrt8 promising peaco and threaten ing a general European war, In tho midst of which a few definite facts stand out: 1. IX-legates of the four allied states and Turkey havo met to discuss terms of peaco, nnd havo declared their Intention of signing a peace protocol, but Uio signing has been postponed owing to a quetsion uixjii tho part of Greece. 2. Servla, In defianco of Austria, has made good her Intention of occupying an Adriatic iort, having HCizcd Durnzzo In Albania, having be gun Its fortification, nnd announced her Intention of holding It In perpe tuity. 3. Itoumanla, the Balkan state that refused to Join the four allied states In making war uiion Turkey, has an nounced herself Austria's ally, and has begun to prepare fon hostilities. I 4. Austria has summoned her reser vists from tho Balkan provinces. 5. Germany, through n speech by her chancellor In tho IUchhtag haB warned Russia that bIio will fight side by sldo with Austria )n tho event of a conflict. 0. Tho cholera situation at Constan tinople, with threatened outbreaks of tho disease among tho allied troops. Is a strong factor for peace so far as Turkey and tho allies aro concern ed. 7. France, Great Ilrltlan, nnd Rus sia aro friendly to tho allies, and aro deslrou3 of peace, but aro com mitted to tho proposition that tho four stntea shall hold what they havd conquered with tho possible exception of tho Adriatic port for Sorvla. 8. Another factor favoring peace Is tho fear on Austria's part that her Serb and Slav population will not remain loynl In tho event of hostili ties, and tho weakness of her claim iiK)ii Italy's help. PROTOCOL SIGNED Tho peaco protocol was signed by threo of tho allies and Turkey lato Tuesday evening. It seems that tho Greek delcgato did not sign nnd that fact gives rlso to rumors of a realign ment In which Roumanla may tako tho placo of Greece. Tho terms of tho cessation of hostilities have not been divulged. AN INTERESTING SUGGESTION President elect Wilson is Raid to favor the postoneincnt of tho festivities usually following the inauguration on March 4th, owing to tho likelihood of inclement weather at that dato. His plan contem plates simply tho President's taking tho oath on the -Itli. arrangem- i being mndo for the festivities to occur ou and following April 30th, tho (Into on which Washington was inaugurated. It will be remembered that President Taft was sworn into office in tho Senate Chamber owing to the severity of the weather. And one President, William Henry Harrison, lost his life owing to a cold contracted during the inaugural ceremonies. In view of these fads tho President elect's suggestion will possibly meet with approval. It would bo better, however, to havo the election earlier in tho year, say in September, let tho inauguration occur about tho time of tho election now, nnd the new Congress convene tho first week in Decem ber or when the last session of tho old now convenes. From tho elec tion in Novomber until tho inauguration, March 4th, is four months, too long n time, as the country learned at the close of tho administra tion of President Biiclmnnan, sud tho convening of the new Congress, unless an extrn session is called, does not occur until thirteen months after tho election. If thvso changes could bo made, the will of tho people expressed at tho polls would be more quickly carried out and no doubt the best interests of the country better served.

Arnold Bennett, tho novelist, has put this matter better than any ono clso I know of.
