GREAT DIPLOMACY.
STRUGGLE AHEAD.
Turks to Try to Offset Defeat
in War by Victory in Peace
Conference.

LONDON. Dec. 9.-Hoping to offset
on the field of diplomacy what they
lost on the field of battle. the Turks
are preparing TO resist with the most
aggressive diplomacy any one excess
sive demand by the allies in the peace
conference which opens here Friday.
Diplomatic circles learned today that
the Turkish ENJOYS are coming here
under direct instructions from Sultan
Hohammed to use every method
sanctioned by diplomatic usage to save
what territory and national prestige
they can.
1t thus appears that the battle of di-
plomacy may resolve itself into con-
test between the 'irreducible minimum
on the part of the Balkan allies against
the national honor of the Ottoman en-
pire.
Each of the five governments involv-
ed will be allowed three ENJOYS.
Social Affairs for ENJOYS.
1t is expected that the course of the
negotiations will be marked by social
affairs for the ENJOYS. King George
may give dinner for the plenipoten-
tiaries if they settle all the issues ami
cably and without discord. OF the
Turkish delegates only the name of Os-
man Miami Pasha has been officially
handed in to the foreign office. The
Ottoman government has been puzzled
to select the best men.
Because of the Importance of his
standing with the Balkan league, Pre-
mier Nenizelos. of Greece, is expected
to be one of the outstanding figures at
the conference. He will probably take
the place of one of Greece's military
delegates in the conference, the latter
acting as an assistant. PRIMER Vent
zelos and Foreign Minister Coromilas,
Of Greece, were two of the prime
league.
Austria Against Peace.
Reports were received here today
from Vienna that Austria is urging
Turkey to assume an uncompromising
attitude, but official circles close to the
foreign office cast doubt upon this. They
declare that Vienna would not dare to
threaten the peace of Europe so openly.
In part said Kimial Pasha, in a mes
sage from Constantinople:
we have very strong hopes that
peace will be restored, but as the Bull
gars have not yet definitely formulated
their conditions l can not say whether
this hope will be fulfilled"
The grand vizier characterized
Greece's actions as pouring water into
her wine

HEADS
N. {. MINISTERS
Presiding Elder of Atlanta Dis
triCt New President of
Pastors Meetings.

The annual election of officers Of the
Methodist Ministers Meetings, held this
morning at the Wesley Memorial
church, resulted in the choice of DR. w.
p. Lovejoy, presiding elder of the At
lanta district as president Rev. c. V.
Weathers, of East End. secretary, and
Rev. Frank Hudson, of East Point,
treasurer. A steering committee" To
prepare programs for Monday morning
meetings was-ehosen as follows: DR.. c.
o. Jones, pastor of the First Methodist,
formerly of st. Johns, Augusta; Rev. S.
r. Belk, of Park Street; Rev. Charles
Bass, of Bolton; Rev. A. W. Quillian,
of Imam Park. and Rev. G. NJ. Fakes,
of st. Johns.
DR.. Belk offered a resolution of SYM
pathy to the family of DR.. Junius w.
Willard, who died yesterday
Interest in Christmas Fund.
Discussions led by Dr.. Lovejoy, Major
R. j. Quinn, M. NJ. Davies and others
aroused great interest in the Christmas
fund for the Wesley Memorial hospital.
This fund is collected annually from
churches, and the plan adopted for the
collection on Sunday morning, Deem
Der 70, IS to have the superintendent
urge next Sunday that parents and
children join in the movement and that
the ministers make their Sunday ser
mons along the line of the need of the
hospital for more funds
Ma iOr Quinn 6pp1aYa tbo+ ,,-it,
cooperation of Methcdists the local
hospital could not only be made entire
ly self-supporting, but the church could
build structure on the present site
equal to any south or west Of Johns
Hopkins in Baltimore. Mr.. Davies de-
clared that last year pay patients had
turned into the hospital Golfers S12. 600
and that with more such patients the
hospital need cost the church nothing.
The hospital is badly overcrowded and
the church members feel the need OF
new or additional quarters, but nothing
definite has been planned.
Many Patients Cared For.
For the fiscal year ending November
l, 1912, the seventh annual report of
the hospital trustees shows that 954 pa
uents were treated, among whom were
4S4 Methodists 225 Baptists, los Pres
byterians. The total income of the In
stitution was $36,62O, all spent for run
ming expenses. The North Georgia con-
ference gave $2.23796 for the Christmas
fund in 1911, and the South Georgia
conference $1.161.S1, a total of S3,399.77.
The Atlanta district gave $1,204.15.
From the opening Of the hospital. Au-
gust 16, 1905, until November 1, 1912.
there have been treated in 1t 5,193 pa
tients, of whom 2,S69 have not been able
to pay for their treatment-over half of
the total number. The value Of charity
work, estimated Al prime cost, has been
59,151.06 in these seven years. During
the same period the Christmas collec-
lions have aggregated only $2S, 500 Sc,
or $35,949.20 less than the hospital has
expended upon the poor. The original
cost of the ground and first building
was s17,5O0. Thus 1t appears that the
hospital has given itself away twice
in seven years.

TRY HIM FOR KILLING
HIS NEIGHBOURS cow

j. S. Baltimore thinks that a suit
against him for killing his neighbours
COW should be tried in superior court.
He asked that tribunal today to hear
the case and set aside a justice courr
judgment recently found against him.
In his plea for superior court juris-
diction, Baltimore asserted that he
killed a COW belonging to Mr.. and Mrs.
T. E. Parker to protect the lives of his
children. He denied that he was
prompted by malice in his action.
Il had no intention of injuring the
cow" said Baltimore. Il merely in

What's the Use?
six machine guns.

Six machine guns.
Two thousand stand OF small
arms (Mausers, Winchesters, Spring
fields muzzle-loading rides, and shot
guns)
Two hundred and hfty thousand
rounds of ammunition.
This is not bill of consignment
to the war department OF some bel
ligerent Central American republic.
1t is merely resume Of the arms
and munitions confiscated the other
day when West Virginia declared
martial law in the Cabin and Paint
creek mining districts. The arms
were taken from both operators and
miners
With six machine guns and two
thousand stand OF small arms as a
text, one might go on and write at
length OF the urgent need OF opera
tors and miners finding something
more efficient than machine guns an
Mausers to use in settling their dif-
ferences- -but what's the use?
Six machine guns, two thousand
stand of small arms and two hun
dred and fifty thousand cartridges
are eloquent enough.

THE NEW ELECTORAL CoLLEG

The increase of forty-eight votes
in the Electoral College must be ia
ken into account in comparing the
election results in the various States
this year with those OF 1910. This
considerable addition is due to the
growth of population shown by the
census of 1910 and the admission lo
statehood of Arizona and New Mexi.

was 483; this year 1t Is 531., Instead

e STRAIGHT SHOOTING

Bulgarian and Turkish accounts
agree that there has been an extraor-
binary percentage OF casualties
among officers of the Turkish army
in the lighting near Adrianop,e.
From Constantinople comes reports
that in one severe action fully eighty
per cent Of the Turkish officers were
killed or wounded.
This means straight shooting by
the Bulgarians. 1t reveals other
things also, notably the necessary
perceived by the Sultan's officers Of
steadying and sustaining their men
to- the utmost limit Of their own re-
sources, even to sacrificing them
selves freely In the effort to hold
their lines firm. But chiefly 1t shows
that the Bulgars, knowing how lack
inf Turkish soldiers are in intelli-
gent initiative and ability to take
care OF themselves when deprived OF
officers. have made special efforts to
pick OF the men In command of the
Ottoman troops and have been re-
markably successful.
TOT years, since bulgaria mas DeeN
building up Its army for just such
an, ordeal as the one through which
t is now passing experts have said
that the Bulgars made splendid sol.
diers+and that they were particularly
good marksmen. The preparation
OF the Bulgarian nation for war
against. the Turks has been largely
directed along the. line OF skill in
shooting,
The results justify the opinion OF
those military men who have argued
that Workmanship is seyenty-five
per cent OF the soldier. They also
remind Americans. and with no little
satisfaction, that the men OF this
country. have always had great apt
itude for sighting accurately along
the, level rife barrel and sending the
bullet to It's mark
That was proved in the civil war
between the States. The Southern
troops were splendid marksmen.

Naval Triumphs Of 1912 Stirred the
Fears OF Englisrmen.
In his article on THE spirit OF
1912" in Harper's for May, James
Barnes gives a number OF contempt
rary accounts OF the naval actions Of
the war. Not the least interesting
il an utterance from the London
Times in regard to our successes at
sea. England not only was sur
prised at the unexpected turn OF
events at sea, but her own newspa-
ipers took on note. OF CONSERVATION,
as is evident from this editorial in
the London Times, March 20, 1913:
The public will learn, with senti-
ments which we shall not presume to
anticipate that third British frig-
ate has struck to an American. This
Is an occurrence that calls for seri-
Gus, renection-this. and the fact
stated in our paper OF yesterday, that
Lloyd's list contains notices OF up
ward Of 500 British vessels captured
in seven months by the Americans.
Five hundred merchantmen and three
frigates! CAY, and three sloops OF
yar!) Can the statements be true;
and can the English people hear
them unmovedi Any one who had
predicted such a result OF an Amer
lean war, this time last year, would
have been treated as mailman or
a traitor. He would have been told.
II his opponents had condescended
to argue with hims that. long ere
seven months. had elapsed, the
American nag would have been
swept from the seas, the, contmpetfble
navy Of the United States annihi-
lated, and their maritime arsenals
rendered heap of ruins. Yet down
to this moment not single Ameri-
can frigate has struck her flag. They
insult and laugh at our lack of en-
terprise and yigor. They leave their
ports when they please, and return
to them when 1t suits their convent
ence: they traverse the Atlantic;
they beset the West India islands;
they advance to the very chops Of
the channel; they parade along the
coasts Of South America: nothing
chases. nothing fntercepts, nothing
engages them, but to yield them tri-
umph.
