London, Dec. 15.--Dr. Daneff, head
| of the Bulgarian plenipotentiaries, re-
turned to London from Paris, late to-
night, and the peace conference is
expected to open, at noon, tomorrow.
Sir Edward Grey, the British secre-
tary for foreign affairs, will make a
brief speech of welcome, and after
expressing the hope of a fruitful end
of their labors. will retire and leave
the conference to deliberate in pri-
vate.
The sessions viii be held. in the
historic ST James Palace, where the
Picture gallery" has been selected as
the conference room. 1t is a secluded
apartment and entirely shut off from
the noise of the sEondon streets.
The delegates passed a quiet Sun
day Nothing has transpired yet to
show whether any serious difficulty is
likely to arise over the attendance of
the Greek delegates. Concerning the
Austro- Servian controversy the Bal
kan delegates think IT the result of an
Austrian bluff. They say:
vienna having been her tradition
al program of gradually extending
through the Balkan states to Salon
Xxi completely wrecked, and has tried
to counter balance the bad effect il
has had at home by clamoring that
Albania must be autonomous, accord
ing to the Austro- Italian agreement
concluded in 1907"
According to the Balkan delegates,
Austria's increased ornaments and
the practical mobilization of her army
are due less to the probabil of de-
claring war against Servia than to
the grave internal situation in the
Monarchy, the unrest in Hungary and
the agitation among Servians, espe-
cially in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
where even those holding positions
under the Austrian government have
openly protested against the attitude
of the Empire. An additional cause
for concern is the threatening attitude
of the Slavs generally, throughout
Austrian territory, which caused the
dissolution of the municipalities OF
Sebenico, Spalato and cara on the
charge of being anti Australian.
Vienna" the Balkan delegates con-
tinue, has too many troubles at home
to think seriously of war, for which
she is financially not prepared--a, fact
proved by the loan recently concluded
in the United States at a rate of in
terest higher than any great power
has paid in late years.
Besides Germany, Notwithstanding
her alliance, has exercised an influence
tending to moderate Austrian ardof
Admitting, however, a coup detat
on the part of Austria we certainlg
know that neither Servia or any Of
the other states would be left alone
as Russia would come 10 their assist
ance. 1t will be retorted that Germany
would support Austria against Rus
ria, but in this case France would be
forced by the Russo French alliance
to attack Germany.
This would mean a general con-
flagration, which all have more IN.
