Turkish War Is Supposed to be End.
ed Yet Greece Ia Still Loading

Guns.
ALLIANCE IS ToTTERING
Balkan Confederation viii Probably
Fall to Pieces Of Its Own
Weight With Greece
In Huff.

4 UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
VIENNA, Dec. THE Turkish war
having been practically ended by the
signing of an armistice, the terms OF
which were more like articles for a
treaty than a mere protocol, Greece
was today left alone In the fight on
the porte. In diplomatic circles there
was eager speculation as to the ulti-
mate effect OF Greece's withdrawal
from the Balkan alliance.
The concensus of opinion seemed to
be that the Balkan confederation
would disintegrate and fall to pieces
of its own weight, while there were
some who predicted that Roumania
would step into the place formerly
held by the Greeks and thus perpet-
uate the league. The visit to Berlin
lof Crown Prince Ferdinand OF
Roumania. with request that Ger
many back up Roumania's demand for
a participation In the division Of Turk
ish territory, apparently bore out this
latter opinion.
1t was learned from semi-ofiicial
sources today that the signing OF the
armistice agreement late last night at
Baghtche was brought about directly
by the triple entente. Strong extern
al pressure was exerted upon Bull
garia by Russia, England and France
to conclude hostilities with an i'm
mediate truce and begin peace nego-
ltiations without delay with Greece exs
4 cluded. when 1t was learned that the
Greek government would not accept
the terms proposed
That the Greeks, il they carry on
the war, as Athens dispatches said they
would, might become embroiled In
conflict with their former allies, the
other members OF the Balkan con-
federation. apparently was an event
,lality indicated by the reported clash
of Greeks and Bulgarians at Seres.
lit was said that $50 Greek soldiers
were killed when three thousand
men attempted to occpy the town,
already held by the Bulgarians.
Greece Did Not Reject.
SOFIA, Dec. 4.--According to an Of
! fetal announcement made here today
4 Greece did not officially reject the
terms of the armistice agreed upon by
1 Turkey and the other allies, but was
granted an additional twenty-four
hours In which to consider the pro-
tocol If that be authentic 1t is not
! yet too late for Greece to join the
agreement and participate in the
formal peace negotiations to begin
i December 13 in London.
The Turkish fortresses are not to
be re-provisioned during the armistice
and the revictualling of the Bulgar-
ian troops shall take place by way of
the Black sea.

A TOPICAL FARIE

The chinese empire. now in a state
of chaos, is, according to Mr.. Ian c.

bit of bluff. 1t looks very biz and
terrible. but in reality it is all outward
show, and the great empire is al the
mercy Of its hrst determined oppo-
nent. In his book on Eastern Asia. "
Mr.. Hannah compares il to the donkey

tured by a tiger
"Oh, spare me-" cried the monkey.
Il am thin and my flesh does not
taste good. But l know where there
is fine, fat donkey"
The tiger consented to spare the
monkeys life on condition that he lead
him TO where the donkey was tied
When the donkey saw them coming
he was terribly frightened but he
tried to appear calm and bawled in a
masterful tone,
Monkey, YOU used to bring me two
tigers. Why only one today"
The tiger did record hustle back
