prepared two drafts for submission to
the Balkan plenipotentiaries, one of
which rejected the peace proposals of
the allies while the other advised a
counter proposition. This report caus-

allies would insist upon Turkish sur
render of Adrianople, Scutari and ia
nina. the three Turkish cities in Eur
ope cannot be held by the Balkan al

A Camfnunlcailan

To the Editor Of the Putnam Patriot:
 hope that Connecticut ministers will not perform the marriage eere- mons for persons coming from Massa- ehusetis to escape the .Teeent whole some iaw Of this State which requires that all intentions Of marriage must be flied five days before the issue of the li- eense, a provision which is ineorporai- ed in the proposed Uniform Marriage Law drafted by Commissioners from nearly all the States. 1t is an impor- tant safeguard against bigamous and other improper marriages, 10 which all should eheerfuIiy submit for the common good. And ministers should be the last Of all citizens to encourage oy their participation the citizens of oi her states in the evasion Of their own state laws.
 well remember in my boyhood tbai parties came for time to my na- tive town to escape the strieter provi- cns Of the marriage license laws then in force in Massachusetts. The town became a "Gretna Green" For time ministers lent themselves to this mis- chieyous practice but soon saw it's error and gave il up, even though the bust ness then fell into the hands of a com plaisant tavern keeper and justice Of the peace. In a little while Gonnecti- cut came to adopt the principle Of the Massachusetts law.
 In these days, when our ideas of so- eial morality are much clearer than they were seventy-fiYe years ago, it is no time for ministers to lend their in- huenee to the desires Of those who es- cape the laws of their own states. They will not so soon as they stop to think of the nature Of the ofiense, which is against both inter state eomity and so- cial depraviiy.
