DELAY IN SIGNING
Of THE PROTOCOL
Greek Envoy Wants Time in
Which to Consult His
Government.
THE IMPORTANT PARTS
Request From Athens For Postpone
ment Said to be Discouraging to
Peace Prospects.
THE IMPORTANT PARTS
From Athens For Postpone

Constantinnnle, Dec. 2.-Signing Of
the Protocol for a 14-day armistice for
the discussion Of peace terms be-
tween Turkey and the Balkan allies it
was officially announced was delayed
until today or tomorrow" but it was
probable that there would be no sign
ing until Tuesday because at o'clock
yesterday, the hour set for the final
conference, the Greek envoy asked for
4S hours additional time in which to
consult his government.
While the exact provisions Of the
armistice were not given out it was
known that four of its important
points were:
The armistice is to last for ii days.
The agreement covers the whole of
European Turkey.
The Turks are to be allowed to re-
victualize daily the besieged towns,
Adrianople and Scutari and all the
Turkish forts.
The opposing armies are to remain
in their present positions.
Both sides agree to give as hours
notice in the event ttaC hostilities
are to be resumed.
The government has ordered the
re-opening of the public schools be-
ginning today.
London, Dec. 2.-1t was agreed
among the military experts today that
Greece'5 request fol moro time osfore
signing the Balkan Turkish protocol
at the appointed hour yesterday was
not encouraging. 1t was thought that
the authorities at Athens would re-
fuse to countenance that stipulation
of the armistice allowing Turkey to
reprovision Adrianople and Scutari.
TO lift the blockade on food-stuffs,
it was held, would give Turkey time
to get her Second wind" and undoubt-
edly in part vitiate the advantages the
allies so far have won ytheir sieges.
The request by Greece for delay was
thought possible, might mean that
Greece would not agree to that clause
Of the protocol.
London, Dec. "A dispatch today
from Cettinje said that the condition
of the wounded Prince Danilo of Mont
enegro, who is in hospital at Riega,
was very grave.
In an assault upon the Turkish po-
sitions dominating Scutari, the prince
was shot through the intestines, and
a resection operation was necessary.
The king WAS at his bedside all day.

81 CARDINALS NOW.

Pageantry That Has Marked Papal
Function Heretofore.

Rome, Dec .2.-At public consls-
tory of the Sacred College, Pope Plus
today conferred the Red Hat on the
last five of the eighteen cardinals
created a year ago, who as yet had not
received the final insignia of their
rank as princes of the church.
The five included three Spanish car
dinals and two Austrians, who at the
time of THAR elevation, November 27,
1911, instead OF coming to the Vati-
can for the red baretto and red hat.
received the baretto from the King Of
Spain and the Emperor of Austria
and waited for their hats until sum-
moned to Rome by the Pope.
The five honored today were:

the Court of Madrid.
Enrico Almaraz y Santos, archbisii-
op Of Savile.
francesca Bauer, archbishop of o.
mutz.
Francisco Nagei, archbishop of Vi
emma.
Contrary to expectation, the Pope
failed to announce the elevation to
the Sacred College Of Msr. Mendes
Bel!o, primate of Lisbon. AZ last
falls consistory Mgr. Bello was ere
atel cardinal ''in pectore," tnat is
was made known th2t he was to be a
cardinal when duties at the Portu-
guese capital would permit. Pope
Plus is believed to have preferred
that he remain at his post until the
present conflict between church and
state in Portugal becomes more set
tied.
The final elevation of the five car
dinals brings the membership OF the
Sacred College TO GO. Of tham Pope
Plus has created 81 since Nocember 9.
1903 when he held his first consis-
tory. Thirty-three of the cardinals
are Italians and 27 of the others were
created since the eighteen cardinals
were created year ago, four men,
bcrs Of the Sacred College have died
Cardinal Fisher, of Cologne, Cardi-
nal Samassa, of Austria, Cardinal
Coullie, of France, and Cardinal Cape
celaltro of Italy.
The ceremop today was carried out
in the hall of Bcatifcation of the Vati-
can with all the pomp and pageantry
that has marked papal functions for
centuries. The hall was divided ac-
cording to the rank of the brilliant
audience, including members of the
diplomatic corps accredited to the
Vatican all in full uniform and decor
atiOns; and generals, superiOrs and
high officials of the various religious
orders, and the members Of the Roman
aristocracy woh have refused to ally
themselves with King Victor Emman-
ucl. Preceding the public consistory
the FIVE cardinals met ir the Sistine
Chapel and took the oath. and the pa
pal cortege moved into the public
