was encountered today by the pleni-
potentiaries Of the Balkan allies and
Of the Ottoman empire who are gath
cred here with the object of bringing
about peace, The absence of Greeces
signature to the armistice protocol
was the cause Of the hitch in the pro-

the Turkish plenipotentiaries do not
authorize them to recognize the Hell

the armistice. and therefore they were
obliged to refer the matter to Con-

the conference.
The Greek representatives refused
to sign the protocol when invited to
do SO today, pointing out It would
make no adherence as the allies were
united. and the decision reached by
the members Of the Balkan league
