London. Dec. 17-An obstacle was
encountered early today when repre-
sentatives ga hered with the object of
bringing about peace The absence of
Greece's signature TO the armistice
protocol was the cause Of the hitch, and
the delegates adjourned till Thursday
without effecting any real business. It
is understood the powers of the Turk
ish plenipotentiaries do not authorize
them 10 recognize the Hellenic dele
gates unless Greece signs the armis-
tice. and therefore were obliged 70 re-
fer the matter TO Constantinople. The
Balkan allies will also communicate
with their governments. The Greeks
refused to sign the protocol today.
pointing out 1t would make no prac-
teal difference, as the allies were
united and the decisions reached by the
Balkan league would be binding on
Greece equally with the other members
OF the federation.
HAVE FULL POWER
Credentials OF the peace delegates of
the Balkan allies and Turkey give them
full power as plenipotentiaries. They
can conclude and sign peace, This
point was made cleaf when the dele
gates met this morning to commence
the serious business OF the gathering.
The meeting lasted less than two
hours and adjourned before 1 o'clock.

The conference decided not 10 meet

subject OF foreign mediation OF the
Balkan affairs. Stojan Novakovitch
head OF the Servian delegates, said:
POINCARE FAVORED.
Choice OF the United States as g
mediator would be an excellent one
The only fears are the distance Of the
United States from the scene and it:
lack OF knowledge OF the different com

people might hamper its action" Nova
koyitch thinks the best man to carry
out the work Of mediation successful

After a months leisure and

home last night and took up in

him in his dual role as governor of

Thousands of letters awaited his ar

president elect made 1t clear that he
is still governor and intends to devote
his energies now to state business.

his cabinet.
Before deciding upon the personnel
of his cabinet he said he would have
to determine just what type of cabinet
he would form.

He recognizes two types from a re.
view of the manner in which his pre-
decessors have met thic question. One
type is the political cabinet construct

terized by Mr.. Wilson as the personal
cabinet made up of men whose business
fitness is known to him personally and
on whose judgment he would like to
lean.
He declined to say which type of
cabinet he now prefers.

TACT BETTER THAN COMMAND

Less criticism and more comrade-

all homes.
1t is easy enough to be pleasant to
the casual acquaintance. but the great
difficulty lies in being decent to those
who are devoted to us-to those who
are ever willing to forgive our short
comings. There is no duty above treat
ing your friends courteously and try
ing to illuminate the general monot-
ony OF the lives of those you lows
In home life tact will succeed often
where command will fail. Sugges-
tons will go farther than argument.
Direction is so much better than die
tation. Criticism of loved ones is a.
vice that takes possession of one like
stimulant, or a drug, once it is en-
couraged 1t may begin in our So
called high moral standard and hatred
of sin. But once it becomes a habit,
it is INDUCED in for the satisfaction it
gives.
An Eden can be ruined by constant
fault-finding, selfishness,, and with
holding the words of praise. A para
disc can be created by small kindness
es and by thinking sweet and helpful
thoughts Of those about you.
The next time you feel like CRITICS
