Plenipotentiaries.

Constsntinople, Nov. 23.--Rechad
Pacha, Minister Of Commerce, and
Hadi Pacha, chief OF staff, have been
appointed additional plenipotentiaries
10 discuss the armistice. The appoint
ment Of the Ambassador to Germany,
Osman Miami Pacha. as plenipoten-
tiary, which was doubted, has been
confirmed. He will reach here on Mon
day.
The government asserts that the
Turkish plenipotentiariss are empow-

modifying their terms. The Bulgarian
representatives are expected 10 arrive

There was no fighting along the

OPTIMISM IN PARIS
Belief Is That Servia Will Re-
nounce Claim to Durazzo.

TBv cable 20 The Tribune
Paris. Nov. 23.-In spite Of desultory
esnnonading along the Tchataldja
lines, and Notwithstanding the Greek
and Servian achievements which are
Fastening to assist the Bulgarlans, It
is believed here that there are still
good chances for a speedy armistice
because the Rulgarians seem willing 10
modify their original demands, and
there are encouraging prospects That
the dispute between seryia and Aus
tria will be Settled by compromise, ac-
cordjnK to which Servia, instead OF
Durazzo, will have the old Venetian
Adriatic port Of San Giovanni de
Medua. near Montenegro, the frontier
question Of Albanian autonomy being
reserved for negotiations after the con-
clusion Of peace.
On the other hand, information re-
ceiyed here indicates that General
Fiftcheff. chief Of the General Staff OF
the Bulgarian armies, is urging the
Greeks TO send all their available
forces by sea, landing on the Gallipoli
Peninsula, taking the Dardanelles
forts in the rear and marching on the
Turkish lines at Tchataldja, operations
that would require one weeks time,
but which would be irresistible, in the
opinion OF the best military experts
here.

ON POINT OF DISPUTE
SaIonica Bone Of Contention Between the
Victors King George To Be
"Shown" by King Ferdinand

protests Of the consuls to the Greek
authorities have had little effect. The
arrival of a body Of Greek kendarm-
erie on November 10, however, i'm
proved the situation.
I'm the mean time violent anti
Jewish outbreak occurred. apparently
because the Jews abstained from deco
rating their houses with Greek hags
and did not join in shouting welcome
to the soldiers. The Greek press
spread a story that Jewish liquor
sellers had poisoned twelve Evzones'
supplying them with corrosive suoh-
mate instead of cognac. A number OF
Jews were arrested, but were released
the next day. The mischief had al
ready been done, and many Jews sur
fered at the hands Of the soldiers.
Their assailants were not punished.

reach here soon for the purpose of re-
mindlng King George by his presence
that the Greek sovereign is not the only
potentate In Salonica.
The Bulgarians are firmly resolved
that their occupation Of Salonica shall
be permanent. There are many Incl
dents TO prove that the relations be-
tween the Bulgarians and Greeks at
this moment are really those Of invet-
crate enemies, who are prevented from
fying at each others threats only by a
frail and temporary truce.
The people OF Salonica, who lately
feared that Hassan Tahsin Pacha in
tended 70 make their city a second Gar
agossa and who have already suffered
much at the hands Of the allies, are
now haunted by the terror that the
allies may at any moment come 70

MAKING A MAN.

"Nine tailors make a man." is an
expression which you often hear used.
Perhaps you would like to know how
it originated? This is an old adage.
1t is said that once upon a time nine
tailors were merrily stitching when a
poor beggar passed their shop, inn
ploring them to give him something
out of charity. At once the kind
tailors opened a subscription list.
Each gave a neat little sum and the
total was given to the beggar. The
poor fellow was so grateful that he
fell upon his knees, crying: "You
nine tailors have made a man of

HOW SHARK IS HARNESSeD
Trick by Which Sailor Pays Debt to
Merciless Member Of the
Flnny Tribe.

The sharks jaws are prind open TO
the fdiloss extent: a stout cight-fOot
spar Of tough timber, four inches by
four in cross-measuremcnt. Is fixed
transvcrsciy far back In the angie Of
the jaw, the ends projecting on either
side. A strong rope leadira from the
ends Of the spar Is drawn close and

fukes. Il is thus the sailor harnesses
his enemy.
The clamp of the cruel jaws drives
the two-inch long teeth deep into the
tough spar. The tight line holds It in
place, and, struggle as he may, the
shark fails to move the spar an inch
from its position. AS finishing
touch, the sailor drew his knife. blade
across the sharks eyeballs and let
him go.
Bitted and bridled, blinded, with
jaws wide-gaping, he swan through a
limitless sea In never-ending fatuous
circles. The queer furnishings he
bore scared away others of hts kind.
Lonely and silent he passed like Cain
among the fishes till starvation and
sheer misery ended his existence.
I Cruel? OF course 1t was But sure.
ly, like the venomous snake. the shark
has long put himself beyond the pale
of human mercy Soft-hearted as he
usually is, the sailor-man has long
memory. The shark has followed for
weeks in the shadow of his ship, and
has watched each man of the crew
with greedy malevolent eye. There
is heavy debt against all the shark
tribe for many a lost mariner, and,
when the chance comes to settle old
scores, the sailor pays it to the full.
Besides the thing has the sanction Of
immemorial custom. 1t was some old
Phoenician, trading out of Tyre to the
far Cassitorides, who, probably, first
put the trick in practice.-Wide World
