FOR WINTER SPORTS
Arrangements Being Made for Skat.
ing and CoastIng.

The Board of Trade Recreation
Committee and a special Recreation
committee on Winter Sports, w. H.
Nichols, Dr. Lane and Win Lunde-
gan will ask the village trustees at
their regular meeting Tuesday Dec.
to supply the water to food the
skating rink. The lighting has al
ready been provided for by Twin
State Gas ana Electric Co. The rink
will be free during the day, but a
very small charge of five cents a per-
son will be made evenings to help
cover the necessary cost of supervis-
ion.
The committee will also ask that
Silver street be closed from traffic
during certain hours for coasting dur
ing winter season. This hill is the
most popular resort in the village for
that purpose and in the past at the
various crossings there have been
serious accidents resulting from col
lisions. This will continue so long
as no proper provision is made for
that sport for boys and girls and
their elders will coast regardless of
impending danger.
In cities where playground can
not be provided streets are closed
from traffic for play during certain
hours throughout the summer and in
the winter suitable places are clos
ed for winter sports.
The closing of Silver street for
coasting would relieve mothers,
fathers and the community in general
to a great degree from the fear of
danger attendant upon this popular
sport and it is earnestly hoped the
village will readily grant the petition
of the committee.

PROTOCOL
IN BALK|NS NOT
YET SIGNED
Greek Delegates Not Yet Au.
th0rized to Act
ARMISTICE MEANS THE END
General Belief That Last Shot Will
Have Been Fired When Docu-
ment is Signed.

London, Dec. 2.-The signature of
the protocol of the armistice be-
tween the Balkan allies and Turkey,
which was expected yesterday, mas
been postponed until tomorrow as
the Greek delegate has not yet re-
ceived the necessary authority from
his government. 1t is rumored at
London that in addition to the Bull
garian troops just landed at Dedeag-
hatch, another large force of Greek
troops from Salonica is at sea, and
it is suggested that Greece may de-
lay signing the armistice in order to
enable these troops to arrive at their
destination, which is supposed to be
the gulf of Sares in Gallipoli.
1t is understood that the armistice
will extend for about a fortnight If
necessary and cover the whole field
of operations. The difficulty with
respect to the beleaguered garrisons
of Adrianople and Scutari is beng
surmounted by permitting them to
receive daily rations during the
armistice.
The plenipotentiaries appear to
have been concerned so far solely in
arranging the armistice but a peace
conference is expected to start i'm
mediately, probably a Sofia, and as
Bulgaria has already shown greater
forbearance than had been looked
for in waving her demand for the sur
render of Adrianople, while at the
same time Turkey cannot hope to
secure better conditions by continu-
ing the war, a strong feeling is en-
tertained that the last shot in the
war will have been fired when the
armistice is signed. There is little
doubt, however, that the peace me-
gotiations will be difficult and pro-
tracted. The question of holding
European embassadorial conference
is still undecided, but the interna-
tional situation is much more peace
full. The Servian government denies
the reported preparations for con-
fiiot with Austria, while the Austrian
press is much less bellicose.
