LONDON, November 4.-The

Demands of Victors.
Tie Balkan nations and Greece are
persistent in their determination that
Turkey must arrange directly with them
the terms of peare, without the interven-
ton of the European powers. This atti-
tude is emphasized in a statement from
official sources which says:
THE Turkish proposal of peace is sat
isfactory in so far as il shows a desir.
TO prevent further bloods ned. As regards
foreign Intervention, however, there
seems to be no chance of the Balkan
states listening to any foreign counsels
while treating for the arrangement OF
conditions of peace. These must be set
tied between the Balkan states and Tur-
key direct.
1T may at this stage be declared that
the whole campaign was prearranged and
has SO far been carried out entirely in
accordance with the program. For con-
siderable time an officer of the Greek
military staff Col. Dousmanis, was
gagged at Sofia preparing the military.

WOULD ELIMINATE DELAYS
CHANGES VOICED FROM BENCH

Revolutionary changes in procedure in
equity cases in federal courts throughout
the United States are effected in revised
rules promulgated today by the Supreme
Court of the United States. The object
is to reduce the cost of litigation and
to eliminate delays.
The new rules We're announced by Chief
Justice White from the bench. One OF
the tasks undertaken by him when he
was appointed chief justice was to re-
form procedure in the courts. He first
revised the rules of the Supreme Court
itself This is the second revision put
into force.

At Work Seventeen Months.

For seventeen months the Chief JUS
tice and Justices Lurton and Vande-
vanter have been working on the
equity rules as a subcommittee of the
court They asked every federal judge
throughout the country to get express
sions from their respective bar associa-
tions on the subject, and wrote to
many others asking for suggestions.
These suggestions were collated and
digested by w. j. Hughes of the De-
partment of Justice by the subcommit-
tee. The present rules came down as
a heritage from the courts of England,
with one or two revisions, since tne
beginning of the republic. The last
revision was about fifty years ago.
The Chief Justice particularly thanked
the lord chancellor of England for sug-
gestions in the revision.
Chief Justice White in orally explain
ing the rules from the bench grouped
the reforms under four heads. The nrst
was in regard to the exercise of power
by the federal courts in equitable mat

where they. will make their appearance
Wednesday or Thursday. and from where
they will rapidly extend eastward. Fol-
lowed Immediately by a storm that is due
TO reach the northern Pacific states We'd
nesday the disturbance is due to reach
the eastern part of the country toward
the end of the week, and a change to de-
cidedly colder weather will follow this
storm.
In and about Washington today and to-
morrow it will be generally fair. with ris-
ing temperature. This kind of weather
is expected to prevail. over the District,
Virginia. Maryland. Delaware and neigh
boring states.
Evening star., 1912-11-04
Pleading Forms Simplifed.

The second was in regard to the modes
of pleading and was described as beng
designed primarily to remove all unnec-
essary steps and to bring the parties
quickly TO the issue.
The old, time-honored forms of plead
ings, the Chief Justice said had been aOro-
gated so far as it was within the lower
of the court to do so, and the most ad-
vanced and simplified forms substituted,
such as now exist in New York and other
code states and in the chancery courts OF
England
The third reform was described as
being a restriction in the modes OF TAX
ing testimony, particularly in patent
and copyright cases in regard to eX-
pert testimony. THE whole intention
has been,'' said the Chief Justice, Ito
bring the taking of testimony down to
a more simplified and inexpensive
method.
Aim to Eliminate Referees.
Another reform was said by the
Chief Justice TO be illustrated by the
statement that the new rules as a
general thing provide for trial by the
court instead of a reference Of the
suit to referee to take the testimony
and report back to the court
The last reform spoken of was in re-
gard to diminishing the size of records
by which suits are taken from the trial
court to appellate courts for review
by providing rules for compelling the re-
duction of their size and by excluding
documents and requiring testimony to be
printed in narrative instead of interroga-
tory form. The Chief Justice said that the
rules would make ii possible for the
appellate court not to reverse suits mere
~ because of errors not prejudicial.
Among new rules of procedure an
nounced by the Supreme Court today, is
one not referred TO by Chief Justice
White in his explanation from the bench,
which would prohibit issue of preliminary
inJunctions without notice to the opposite
party and also restricting issues of tenn
porary restraining orders.
The rules will go into effect February
l. 1913.

Hoping for Agreement.

1t is hoped and believed still that the
powers soon will find formula under
which they can offer their good Offices
The terms of peace themselves are mat

Bulgaria having again affirmed no inter- :
ference from the outside will be tolerated.
In this she has the support of her allies,
who settled the political as well as the
military aspect of the campaign before
the war was undertaken.
The negotiations which were taking
place among the powers when Turkey
sprang the surprise of asking for media :
ton were not oversuccessful. The Eu-
ropean governments had not even agreed
on the preliminaries for an Offer of me-

Balkan Union Close.

The union of the Balkan states at this
moment is more close, hearty and init
mate than il ever has been for it has
been welded by blood and common sac
rifice. There is not the least danger that
any disagreement as to the division Of
territories or the positions of the frontiers
will disturb it. Il may be assumed that
inasmuch the details of the campaign
were arranged with the greatest care, the
same procedure will be followed bot II
as to- the conclusion of hostilities and
subsequent political considerations"
Those powers thus far consulted have
responded to Turkeys appeal for medi-
alton by declaring they could not make
any proposals for peace. and could not
approach the Balkan nations with a
request for armiStice.
Some of the governments have pointed
out that Turkeys proposal for a ces-
sation of hostilities-in other words
an armistice-would offend the Balkan
victors. Other governments take the
position that it would be an infringe
ment of international law for the mo-
ment.
The war must. therefore. continue.
and the Turkish armies which the porte
has at last admitted have been beaten.
must keep on with their unequal strug-
gle against the victorious invaders.

NEW YORK. November A.
The vote cast for President at
tomorrow elections throughout
the United States will exceed all
records, if today's predictions are

direct charge that in New York
republican leaders are urging vot-
ers to support Wilson, to make
the defeat OF Roosevelt certain.

MIR. Bunting Is Quoted
In Col. WOOlard'S Book

Bunting in 1.-THE Sunsine of Life"
follows:
Few men dare defy the Judgment
of posterity. What history will or
will not say of us appeals to all men,
History and the world may fail in
their Judgment of us, and measure us
by scant standard; but within the
portals of our hearts there is a judg-
ment tempered by mercy, and it is
this later judgment that draws men
closer together in brotherhoods.'
In view of Mr.. Bunting's recent
death, these sentiments are doubly
impressive.
1t is expected that 1.-The Sunshine

sale as large as tnat enjoyed by some
of its popular predecessors. More

From addresses delivered by |. n.

of The Daily Sentinel, two excerpts
have been taken for reproduction in
the latest edition of the famous and
internationally read series of books
issued by Colonel Samuel Francis
Woolard of Wichita, Kans.
''The Sunshine of Life" the latest
of Colonel Woolard's books. is just

choice, beautiful and impressive bits
of sentiment from writer's, speakers
and thinkers of many lands and many
ages are presented by Colonel Wool
ard, and among the selections appear
the following thoughts given utter
ance by the late Mr.. Bunting:
''It is highly unsatisfactory con-
temptation for any man to feel that
death will mark him for oblivion and
obliteration. That our physical
forms and features and our person.
alities shall be remembered by our
loved ones and our friends after
death marks us for its own, is high
compensation. for any man or any
