VIEWS OF BALKAN ENJOYS.
Fear Powers Will Act in Behalf of
Turkey.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LONDON. December 23.-In interviews
today the Bulgarian, Servian and Greek
peace delegates all said they fully appre
ciated the significance of Turkeys effort
Saturday to prevent the success of the
negotiations. and the fact that the pow
ers, although earlier refusing Turkeys
request that they mediate, are prac-
tically making the peace conference the
tail of the ambassadors conference kite
The allies are apprehensive of the am
bassador's already determined peace
terms and are perturbed by Premier Poin-
cares remarks that France and other
powers would mediate, as indicating that
the financial interests will decide all
questions in Turkeys favor. One Servian
delegate said with the utmost sadness:
1--WE have made sacrifices. but we have
some moe splendi dartillery and well
fight Turkey again to the end. If the
powers are leagued against the allies We
must yield to their decisions, which are
based on superior force
The Bulgarian. delegates said: 1.-The al
lies will refuse to grant Turkeys request
to revictual Adrianople. and if Turkey
insists on that point the allies will i'm
mediately terminate the negotiation and
will renew the war. If Turkey withdraws
her request the allies will present their
terms. giving Turkey three days to ac-
cept them. If they don't reply within
that time. or an extremely brief extension,
the allies will terminate the negotia-

Appealed to Controller.

When the three officials received the
pay envelopes, for the half month from
August l., to September l. with lesser
amounts therein than usual, they APP
pealed to the controller of the Treasury
from the act of the disbursing clerk, de-
handing pay at the higher rate for the
period between August II and %. the
latter the date of the passage of the APP
preparation act providing for the decrease
in salary.
Controller Tracewell not only ruled
against them, but he further ruled that
the disbursing clerk had erred in paying
their salaries at the higher rate since the
beginning of the fiscal year and demand
ed that the Treasury be reimbursed.
The appeal of the diSburSing clerk
brought the response from Controller
Tracewell that he should have governed
himself by the precedent of Congress and
by the language of the measure pending
to provide for a continuance of the prac-
tice.
