on the orders of his physician. Only
persons with whom he had impera-

The governor caught cold on Mon

had a slight fever and Mrs. Wilson
sent for the doctor, His system
yielded readily to simple remedies
and today he was reported as very

was sent to Representative Carter

Of the House. which Is planning cur

Make No Concessions
CITES POINTS THEY SAY
THAT BALK MEASURE
By The unIted Press

BY The United Press
NEW YORK, Dec 26.-Tbe express
companies will not meet the govern
ment competition that comes with the
establishment Of the parcels post on
January l. Contending that the law
admittedly imperfect, VIII fall of its
own weight, the managers of all the
big express companies have agreed
to sit tight and make no concessions
to the public Instead they will point
out and emphasize the defects in the
law and Will seek to get amusement
from the efforts Of the people to make
the new government plan a benefit in
reducing the cost Of living
The heads of the big express COM
panios have agreed to do no talking
themselves for publication and to com
pei all subordinates to refrain from
discussing the situation tina will con-
front them next month. Privately,
however, several of the best known Of
the express officials declared they
were certain that the law will work
out Enthusiastically Because it is
certain they said to create a def
cheney in the post Office department,
they do not believe the next pOstmas-
ter will be any too enthusiastic for the
scheme. And the public. the express
officials say, will not stand for even
slight inconvenience, so that after a
trial it can be depended on to drift
back to the old way and the old ex-
press companies.
Points that will work out against
the law in the opinion OF the express
heads are: First the extra charge
made by the government of ten cents
for insurance on values up to 500;
second increased cost because the
government can work it's employees
only eight hours per day; third, civil
service protection which the express
heads hold, prevents the free dis
charge of employees who do not evtend
themselves TO the limit; fourth, neres-
siiy of increasing the payroll TO
get enough men to- handle the IN
creased business; fifth, difficulty of
preparing packages for easy and
prompt inspection: sixth. compelling
patrons to wait i'm line TO get pack
ages weighed aud the new form OF
stamps; seventh, alleged unwieldiness
of the law because of the creation Of
/ the various postal zones with different
rates for each
Different provisions Of the parcels
| post law have been the source Of
/ amusement to express managers
Chief of these is the provision for the
shipment of eggs. The law states that
each egg Must be wrapped securely
i'm corrugated paper, wood or some
other substantial material and placed
on end in a box aud that each egg
shall be separated from it's fellows Ia
lessen the danger of broakagc
Every package must be so wrapped
that lis contents will be accessible to
officials who wish for any reason to
inspect it.

SANTA LIBERAL
TO CITY MERCHANTS

Wilmington merchants generally ex-
press themselves as well pleased with
the holiday business. The favorable
weather up to Tuesday was a great in
centive to shopping, and the Whining
ton stores were well patronized. The
last hour rush on Tuesday night was
not so great as had been expected, in
dicating that most of the buying had
been done In fact, two features of
the Christmas shopping were COM
mented upon-the early shopping by
Wilmingtonians, and the greater Ten
dency to buy at home. More than one
merchant expressed the belief that
there was an increase in his business
due to the Buy at Home campaign.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The Turkish
and Balkan peace delegates who re-
NAMED here over Christmas, were
guests at holiday functions Of vari-
Gus sorts today and war talk was ta-
booed, but there was in diplomatic
circles, much speculation as to the
counter proposals which the Turks
will submit to the ENJOYS of the allies
when the negotiations are resumed
Saturday. Osmas, Miami Pasha and
Rechid Pasha, the Turkish plenipoten-
tiaries, protested not to know the
character of the Turkish proposition,
which is on its way from Constantine
pie. The Turkish ministry, in session
all day yesterday, agreed on a coun-
ter offer to be put up to the allies I'm
the peace conference and despatched
it to London, where it's arrival was
eagerly awaited by interested watch
ers of the war game.
Diplomats today were not taking
very seriously the anticipated Turkish
demands. They assumed that the
Porte's proposal would be for as much
more than was hoped to realize, as
was the territorial demand presented
by the Balkan allies. Both sides were
expected to demand everything in
sight, so that they would have some
thing left after the bargaining
Conflicting and unauthenticated ru-
mors from Austria-Hungary occupied
the minds Of the military experts to-
day. From Vienna came advices that
Austrian reseryists were being demo-
bilized, while in Budapest this was de-
