ALLIES ARE IN
Full ACCORD
They Have Decided the Terms on
Which They are Willing to Make
Peace With the Turks

London, Dec. 15.-On the eve of the
Turkish Balkan peace conference, the
Associated Press has gathered from the
representative of the Balkan dele
gate an authoritative declaration Of
the terms which the victorious king
doms propose to enforce and the Otto
man views thereon.
The Balkan delegates adhere to the
watehword adopted in the first plenary
meeting before entering the confer
ence, that they are lin complete accord
and have established a perfectly unit
ed program to follow"
Tell the Americans" they said. that
we trust in their sympathy and moral
support we are fighting desperately
and shedding our best blood for the
same cause which rendered the name
of Washington glorious and venerated.
We are risking all we possess for our
liberty and independence.
Tell them,'' added in perfect Eng
lish, Venitsch, the Servian minister at
Paris, who is learned in many Language
es and a professor, that some of the
sons of the Balkans who became AM
erican citizens are in the ranks at the
front giving proofs of valor and brav-
cry of which Uncle Sam should be as
proud as we are"
The main condition of the allies in
clude the immediate surrender of Scu-
tari, Adrianop1e and Janina, the gar
risons of which will be granted full
military honOrs; the evacuation of
Eastern Europe by Turkey as far as
East Tchatalja, to a line which ex-
perts appointed by the contracting g
parties will fix on the spot; the cession
to Greece of all the Aegean islands,
including Rhodes and eleven others
which Italy is keeping as a pledge for
Turkish fulfllment of the treaty of
Lausanne; the annexation of Crete to
Greece and the payment of a war in
demnity and the expenses sustained.
In return the allies will grant COM
plete amnesty to the Mussulman popu-
lation in the territ0Fy they annex, for
any acts of hostility dun 'ng the war;
| the return of all prisoners; the recog-
milton of the spiritual sovereignty of
the Sultan over Ottomans becoming 9
subjects of the Balkan states and the
free admission by the Mussulmans of
their pious funds in the Balkans.

Because custom says that a con-

death cell the night before his execu-
tion, says the Atlanta Journal, bridal
pair were moved Thursday night from
the cell next to the gallows in the
Fulton county jail to make place for
Robert l. Clay, who was hanged Fri
day for killing his wife. Harley Battles
and his young wife, from Fannin coun-
ty, have occupied the cell next to the
gallows for several weeks, being held

September.

MUST DECIDE
Whether or Not the Canal Dispute
With Great Britain Shall
be Arbftrated

Washington. Dec 1e.-Whether a
majority or two-thirds of the United
States Senate would be necessary to
order the Panama canal dispute with
Great Britain submitted TO The Hague
court of arbitration for adjustment,
has become a matter of study among
members of the Senate since the re-
ceipt of the British protest against
the toll provision in the recent canal
act exempting American coastwise
While treaties specifically require a
two thirds vote for ratification, many
senators believe an agreement under
an existing treaty might be held to re-
quire only a majority vote. Should
diplomatic negotiations with Great
Britain fail to settle the disputed ques-
tion, it is believed they nevertheless
will delay matters so that an arbitra-
tion agreement could not come up for
final consideration in the Senate until
after the democratic administration
has come into power.

The improvement of the harbors
and navigable waterways of the coun-
try by the federal government, al
though attended with many Difficult
ties in the earlier years of the re-
public, has nevertheless been carried
on. with a marked degree of success.
The obstacles in the way of this class
of work during the first decades of
our history were largely the result of
political conditions and the construc-
ton placed upon the federal constitu-
tion by many of our leading states
.men..
The strict constructionist of that
instrument could for a long time
find therein no warrant for the ex-
I penditure of money by the general
government on rivers and harbors, no
matter what the necessities demand
ing their improvement. Few in those
earlier days thought of looking to the
commerce clause of the constitution
for any such power. In fact man.,
including prominent jurists of that
period, regarded that provision as
only furnishing authority for the pro-
mitigation of rules by which inter-
state commerce might be regulated.
1t was easier to find authority for the
construction by the federal govern
ment of post roads, whether intra or
interstate, and early in our history as
a nation we were more inclined to
enter upon that line of governmental
activity than to improve our naviga-
Bile waters.
To be sure, this sentiment against
the participation by the government
in the improvement of rivers and har-
bors was not unanimous, but was suf-
ficiently strong to confine congress
for many years to permissive legisla-
ton, mainly the granting of author
ity, TO make such improvements, to
individuals or to the states. Gradu-
ally, however, and following the de-
cisions of the federal courts, eau
tiously enlarging and extending the
scope of the commerce clause in the
constitution as at fist understood,
this sentiment underwent a change
and as early as 1916 congress began
to appropriate for river and harbor
Improvement; doing so, however, in
termittently and sparingly for many
years.
1t was not until the formation OF
the rivers and harbors committee
in 1888, that the national law making
body seriously entered upon that
class of work. Down to that time
only $125,147O22 had been appro
priated, bills for which had been re
ported mainly by the committee on
commerce, now the interstate and
foreign commerce committee, though
thirteen had been prepared and sub
mitted by the committee on ways
and means, and three by the commit
tee on the whole house, without ref
erence to any special or STANDING
committee.
Since the formation of the rivers

RIGID HEALTH RULES ARE
CAUSE HIGH COST LIVING
Agricultural Department. Be-
IieveS That Health Authori-
ties Hell D Force Prices Up

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Rigid rules
enforced by health authorities are re-
sponsible in a measure for the high cost
of living, in the opinion Of the depart
ment of agriculture, which publishes its
belief in a report issued today. In dis
cussing the question of milk inspection,
which the department always has held
scarcely could be too rigorous, the re-
port says:
1.-THE health authorities of the country
generally are seeking to give the public
a higher grade of milk than the public
is demanding or is willing to pay for.
and the attempt is too often made to put
the entire cost of Improvement on the
producers"
The department is seeking means of
overcoming the nations losses from bad
eggs, the result of improper handling
and unwise packing and which cost an
nually $45,00O,0 900. Breeding expert
ments with cows, milking goats, poultry,
sheep and other food and food producing
animals are being pressed with view
to increasing the output of food and
lessening the cost
The department found that during the
past year there was little attempt on
the part of packers to market unfit
goods. For the most part, meats found
to be quotable were merely unsavory
because of the use of rancid oils or
fats used in preparation.
