ALLIES DISAGREE
BUT PROTOCOL
IS SIGNED
Greeks Not a Party to Peace
Agreement
REVISED TERMS UNKNOWN
Attitude of Greece Not Expected to
Check Measures for Ending the
War.

London, Dec. 4.-The protocol ar
ranging an armistice was signed at
Baghtche late last evening by the
Turkish and Bulgarian delegates,
the latter representing also Servia
and Montenegro. Prior to this there
had been a long sitting of the Turk
ish council of ministers TO consider
fresh proposals submitted by the al
lies. Apparently, the Greek dele
gates did not sign the protocol. AT
present nothing is definitely known
on this point, or of the terms oil the
armistice as revised yesterday
The refusal of Greece to sign the
armistice is susceptible of different
interpretations In the first place,
as a tacit armistice has been in eX-
istence for more than a week already
it is impossible that the negotiations
may have served to bring about an
agreement on the general principles
of the peace terms, such as Woulc
promise the speedy arrangement OF
a peace treaty when the conference
meets, as is now expected in London.
In this case, the fact that Greece is
standing out from the armistice pro
tocol would not be of great impoT-
lance.
In the second place, the Greek alb
stention may mean serious split
among the allies arising from jeal-
ousies concerning the possession OF
Salonica and the insistence OF the
Greks on the capitulation of Ad-
rianople, Scutari and Janina. Other
points which may influence the stu
alton are to be found in the fact that
a separate treaty of peace with
Turkey recently sought to conclude
Greece, that Bulgaria apparently is
not unwilling to enter into an al
lance with Turkey and that the al
lies are DESTROYS that Turkey shall
enter the Balkan customs league.
There is a rumor in Soma that a
suggestion has been made to substi
tute Rumania for Greece in the
Balkan league. II seems clear from
the report that Bulgaria will ignore
the Greek offer to land an army in
Gallipoli peninsula and to send her
fleet to attack the Dardanelles, that
the relations between Greece and Bul
garia are greatly strained and that
these signs of dissension among the
allies leave the situation full of dan
gerous possibilities.
1t is reported that France is try
ing to persuade Greece to adopt a
less unyielding attitude, It is I'M
derstood that financial pressure and
the exhaustion of their forces had
much to do with the willingness of
Bulgaria and Servia to conclude
peace, and in this respect Greece
which secured her victories with
less expense, is better able to con-
tinue hostilities.

HENRY S. FISK
Wel-known Resident Passed Away
Suddenly Tuesday Evening

Henry S. Fisk, aged so years, died
at about IL o'clock Tuesday night at
the home of his sister, Mrs. s. r.
Wilcox, following a sudden illness
Monday evening.
During part of the day Monday,
Mr.. Fisk visited at the home of his

WILL HE MAKE BID FOR cuPq
Allom, Noted British Yachtsman
Here, object of Speculation.

New York, Dec. 3.-Charles c. Al
lom, leading British yachtman, is
staying at the St. Regis Hotel and,
as usual when a foreign yachtsman
visits this city, it is rumored/ that he
has come to arrange a challenge for
1.-THE Americas Cup. An individual
cannot arrange race for the famous
trophy. 1t is held by the New York
Yacht Club and series of races can
be arranged only after a challenge
has been received from some foreign
club. Tie individual only represents
the club
Mr.. Allom last summer owned and
raced the 10 meter British cutter Is
tria, which was at the top Of her
class. This yacht was built from de-
signs by Nicholson, who since has
been commissioned to build "a big
schooner to meet the German
schooners next summer. The Istria
has a novel topmast rig. This top
mast, which telescopes into the main
mast, can be used as the yard of The
club topsail and consequently saves
much weight in the top hamper.
When carrying a working topsail sew
eral feet of the topmast extend be-
yond the canvas, which gives the
yacht an odd appearance. Another
odd feature is that the dingy is fitted
into the cockpit and gives more deck
space. This scheme was Investigate
ed by the Yacht Racing Association
but trials showed that the dingy
could be launched very easily from
the cockpit and that it conforned
with the rules.
Mr. Allom has been a yachtsman
for twenty years. He started with
the cutter Doris, small craft. then
had the ton yawl Hoopoo. His next
yacht was the A ton cutter, Rustler,
which was replaced by the SO ton cut
ter Rosamond, and then the Istria
was built.
In addition to being a yachtsman,
Mr.. Allom supports other sports. He
has "A good record as an oarsman,
has run quarter of a mile in "a sec
onds and half mile in minutes, was
member of crack cricket team
and has played football and golf. lie
owns a estate in Hertfordshire on
which are private cricket grounds,
shooting preserves.
He has made a study of the Ameri-
cas- Cup situation and is said to be
the head of syndicate which stands
ready to build yacht of the %
meter class with which to challenge
for the cup. He, however, does not
favor the old rules governing the
trophy and would want the New
York Yacht club to agree to race I'M
der its present rules of measurement
That is the stumbling mock with
many British yachtsmen. Sir Thorn
as Upton is ready to have a chal-
lenge sent un6er new conditions and
it is said that several other British
yachtsmen would like to try for the
big prize il the rules were modified.
but they will not agree to race with
freak of a mere racing machine.

soUsA'S BAND COMING
Big Musical Event at Opera House
Saturday Evening.

OF the Sousa band which comes to
the Bennington opera house Saturday
evening, the Boston Globe of Novem-
Der "a says:
when all is said and done. Sousa
is the bandmaster of this generation.
More than any other musician, he ty-
pifies the American spirit, for he has
carried with supreme confidence in
his resources his great aggregation
of musicians to the four corners of
the globe. And the universal opinion
is that Sousa's band stands alone in
being, perhaps. the most perfect mus
ical organization in existence. This
is something not claimed by Mr.. Sou
sa in an egotistical sense, but conced
ed to him by the highest musical au-
thorities of the age from every land
Sousa and his band have been heard
the world over, and It will be an event
of more than usual interest when his
renowned organization appears here
with Miss Virginia Root, soprano:
Miss Nicotine Zedeler. violiniste. and
Mr.. Herbert l.. Clark, cornetist, as
soloists."

GRAND JURY WILL
BE CALLED IN
CMELL CASE
Special Session to lndict Alleged
Highwayman
FOR SHOOTING TINKHAM
Hungarian Gypsy Charged With At
tempted HoIdup on the Night Of
October II.

After county court had adjourned
for the day late yesterday afternoon
the assistant judges and the sheriff
met in the clerks office and drew a
special grand jury which is called
for the purpose of acting on the case
of Frank Cmell. the Hungarian gypsy
who is confined in the county Jail on
the charge of having shot Orson
Tinkham.
The crime that will be brought
against Cmell is involved in an at
tempted hold-up on the North Ben
nington road on the evening of Oc-
tober II. Tinkham, who lives on
what is known as the town farm road
was returning home from trip to
this village. At a lonely point of
the road to North Bennington near
the Meechole bridge he was stopped
by man who demanded money and
when the farmer attempted to es-
cape by whipping his horse the high
wayman fred three shots from a re-
volver One of the bullets cut Tink-
hams face, making slight flesh
wound, another entered the groin
ana the third passed through his hat.
The wounded man was hurried to
the Samaritan hospital where an OPP
Grafton was performed Less than
two weeks ago he was able to return
to Bennington and will be the princi-
pal witness against Cmell If the
Hungarian is tried for the crime.
Cmell was arrested the next morn
ing after the shooting and when
searched was found to be carrying
a S2-calibre revolver, with three
empty chambers, in his stocking. He
was hurried to Troy in an automo-
bile and identified by Tinkham at the
hospital.
1t was the original intention of
States Attorney w. j. Meagher to
file an information against Cmell
but closer investigation of the
statutes revealed the fact that
proper charge could not be brought
against the man in this way. In or
der to try the man on the charge of

MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION
No Change in the License Vote in IA
Cities

Boston, Dec. 4.-No upsets in the
license vote occurred according to
early returns in the IA Massachusetts,
cities which held elections yesterday.
In all these, except Taunton, mayors
were elected, one of the principal
fights being in New Bedford where
Charles S. Ashley was reelected for
his 10th term. In cities where ma
tional party lines prevailed, six re-
publicans were successful and two
democrats. Progressives entered the
fight in three of the cities-Pittsfield
Quincy and Waltham, but met with
no success except in Quincy, where
they elected two councilmen- at-large.
The cities remaining in the no-license
column were Quincy and Waltham,
while Fall River, Fitchburg, Glouces-
ter Haverhill, Holyoke, Marlboro,
New Bedford, Northampton, Pitts
field and Springfield went for license
by practically the same majorities as
last year. In Brockton and Taunton,
where the polls did not close until s
O'Clock, the returns were still incom-
plete at a late hour. The fight for
school committeeman i'm Fall River
furnished the most interesting fea-
ture. 10000 women casting votes.
Democrats won two of the three posi-
tons on the school board.
Eight mayors were successful in
seeking reelection. They were:
Fran o. Hardy (citizen), in Fitch
burg; Edwin H. Moulton (no designa-
tom, in Haverhill John ]. White
