In the capital where the memory OF

night of March 3, four years ago, stil

date for the inaugural ceremonies is
strong. but the legislators appear to be
less concerned than others In the weather
on March 4.
Senator Bacon. one Of the older Demo-
cratic Senators. was inclined to doubt to-
day that Mr. Wilson had made the sug-
gestion 10 change the date OF the in
augural ceremonies. Senator Gore saw
no reason for opposing the change, but
at the same time found nothing in the
suggestion TO recommend II. Senator
Borah expressed himself as favoring the
elimination of the inaugural ceremonies
altogether, except those necessitated by
law, and return To democratic sim
plicity.
Others. even those who were I'm favor

Democratic legislators there was a fear
that the postponement of the ceremonies
might result in an anti-clmaX. Believing
that the memorable bareback Of the

they preferred to take a chance on the

A Military Deadlock.

slider that it would be almost impossi-
BILE for the allies to break the Tcha-
taldja works. while II would be equally
impossible for the Turks to succeed In

is taken TO indicate that the Balkan
allies possess information pointing TO

The threat that Great Britain may be
involved in the death struggle for Eu-

son OF great armies quickly modified

petus to the movement for compulsory

leaders have been agitating for this for
the last year.
Reasons for Conscripton.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts has be-
come the storm centre of bitter con-
troversy. In speech early in the
week he declared that the territorial
force, which In England is the second
line Of defence, was total failure
that it was more than 10000 short OF
its nominal strength and was largely
composed OF youths. He invited the
officers to admit that it does not sat-
isfy the country's vital needs.
Viscount Haldane, the former Secre-
tary for War, who is the father of the
scheme, replied that Lord Roberts was
great soldier, but failed to grasp the
problems of craftsmanship involved.
The Liberal party generally opposes
increased military expenditures. The
report that the Indian princes are max
ing a great naval contribution OF
Dreadnoughts and cruisers has not
been confirmed. The project apparent
ly is only under discussion
The Conservative press halls it with
salvos OF praise but the Liberal press
shows lukewarmness. particularly II il

London, Nov. 3O.-The second month
of the war in Turkey closes under
brighter auspices than the statesmen
who have been handling the tangled
skein of conflicting national interests
dared week ago 10 predict. An ar
mistice will be signed tomorrow after
noon in the Sultan's palace car by the
delegates NJ the b.iligerent states. who
have been comforting there in an ap-
parently conciliatory atmosphere, and
incidentally consuming luxurious lunch
cons prepared by Constantinoples fore
most French chef.
The hope that permanent peace will
follow on terms which will avoid a
: clash with Austria is strong in all the
/ capitals and is assuming the strength
/ OF a conviction. From Constantinople,
Sofia and Belgrade the press agencies,
/ which speak with the voices Of their
governments, predict a settlement and
! portray a general desire to end the war.
The terms of the armistice have not
vet been announced. Chief interest
centres in Adrianople, where the Turk
ish garrison, with diminishing ammu-
milton and short rations, still makes an
epic resistance against the Servians
and Bulgars, with their Gordon OF ar
tlllery steadily crowding closer around
the citadel.
A Diplomatic Clearing House.
The project for establishing a diplo-
matte clearing house composed OF the
ambassadors Of the powers in some
capital TO exchange views on the Bal
kan question during the period of up
heaval gains strength. THE Pail Mall

ranged within two days. While Turkey
and the Balkan States may arrange a
treaty of peace by direct negotiations,
they can hardly do this without con-

CHICAGO, June l7.--Ali OF Colo,
mel Rooseveits political craft was
brought into play today, in las'
frenzied effort to wean enough dele
gates over from the Taft camp to in
sure control Of the convention. 1t was
a day of Wild wire pulling. AT ii

that If the delegates he had con

would win.
Roosevelt was not banking toe
strongly tonight on the outcome OF ths
fight. While he felt reasonably Ger
tain that his work of persuasion had
not been in vain. he was in doubt
over the actual count of noses.
The coloners advisers assured hin
that he could depend on the word
of the Southern delegates who mad
announced their conversion from the
Taft cause, but Roosevelt Is not fool
ed by fitful promises. He plainly
told his sanguine chiefs that he would
wait and see.
The actual fact is. 50 far as Roose-
Welt Is concerned that he hopes to
be nominated. If the Taft delegates
