military experts and diplomatists be
iieve, not only will the Balkan war
be settled. but all of the war clouds
now besetting the continent will be
pushed away Negotiations to begin
next Friday, are to be supplemented
| by the ambassadorial conference and
| 1t is believed, will insure the peace of
the near-east for many years to come.

day that the Greek plenipotentiaries
had signed the armistice which was
agreed upon by Turkey and the Bal
kans states three days ago, removed
4 whatever doubt there might have
been that envoys OF King George
would participate in the peace confer
\ ence.
