Are Unable to Agree to Terms

f1cially announced here that an arm
istice to last fourteen days had just
been signed at Baghchetsh by the
representatives of the Turks on one
side, and Bulgaria. Servia and Mon
tenegro on the other. Greece, the
stumbling block all through the ne
gotiations, refused to sign the arms
tice. She has been told by the other
allies that she may continue the war
alone if she SO desires
Fate of AdrianopIe Unknown.
The fate of Adrianople, the crux of
the peace negotiations, is not yet
known. A dispatch from Musta-
pha Pasha says that the Bulgarian
COMMUNICATIVE sent two officers
with white flag to the beleaguered
city to demand it's surrender. He
promised that the lives and property
of every one in the town would be
safe and that the capitulation would
be made on honorable terms.
What the Turkish answer was could
not be learned here. The Turkish
council of ministers had completed its
consideration of fresh proposals from
Servia, Montenegro and Bulgaria and
had sent new instructions to its rep
resentatives at Baghchetsh. Then for
a while nothing more was heard from
the representatives in the little neu-
trail town till there came the official
announcement of the signing of the
armistice by Turkey and three of the
allies.
A telegram has been received here
from the lieutenant governor of
Tchesmo that on Sunday and Monday
there was heavy fighting between the
Greeks and Turks in Chios. 1t would
seem that the Greeks there have not
had the success they expected and
this may be another reason for their
anxiety to have the surrender of the
Turks there included in the armis-
tice.
Senation Among Diplomats.
London, Dec. 4. - The news that
Greece alone of the allies refused to
sign the armistice with Turkey is the
cause of a profound sensation in dip
lomatic circles here. Some say that
1t is the beginning Of the end OF the
Balkan confederacy. All along Greece
has hindered the armistice proceed
ings, but it was thought hardly prob
able that she would take the allies
at their word and go on with the war
alone.
Janina, Salonica and Adrianople,
those three cities and their fate, have
KEEP THE Greek representatives from
joining with the allies and their at
titude was first foreshadowed when
the Greeks took Salonica. There,
too, came a Bulgarian army to find
the city already occupied by the
troops of King George. The cables
told at the time of the occupation of
that Aegean seaport there immediate
ly arose friction between the two
armies of the allies and eventually
the Bulgars left.
At Chios and Mitylene, too, where
there was fighting on Sunday and
Monday, the Greeks felt that they
would lose all they had gained If the
armies remained in their positions
for the fourteen days of the truce and
they demanded the surrender of the
Turkish arms on these two islands,
From many sources it is reported
that the actual peace negotiations
will be held in London.

CHANGE OF EYE COLOR

The possibility of a mans eyes
changing color as the result of mental
shock or physical Ill treatment was
the subject of an interesting discus
sion by number of surgeons In the
eye ward of one of the great London
hospitals. One of the surgeons stat
ed: 1T is common knowledge that
great physical hardships may sudden
ly turn the hair white. The loss OF
color here follows on certain chemical
changes, due to disturbances of nutrl-
ton, taking place in the tiny particles
of coloring matter which give the hair
its color. "All infants at birth have
blue eyes. In some babies immediate
ly after birth pigment granules begin
to develop in the iris. Thus they be-
come brown or black eyed. In others
however, no such pigment formation
takes place and the eyes remain blue
or gray throughout life. If this at
present blue eyed convict is really
the missing brown eyed banker rea.
sonable explanation of the discrep-
ancy in the eye colorings would be
that under the stress of physical ana
