 The meeting having adopted q resolu- ton of sympathy with the family or the late Ambassador Whitelaw Reid, Earl Grey read long list of messages of sympathy with the movement, including one written by MT. Reid, in which he said:

CONFERENCE EXPECTED TORENEW WORK IMMEDIATELY Decision of Turkish Gov ernment in Regard to Greek Action Unknown RUSSIA STANDS
 BEHIND BALKANS Russian Premier's Speech Is Yelled Warning to Austria-Albania Is
 Hardest Problem for the Am
 bassadorial Conference

London. December 1S.-The nature of
 the decision which the Turkish govern
 ment arrived at today in regard to the
 participation of the Greek delegates in
 the peace conference is not known, but
 is believed to be such as to enable the
 peace conference to resume it's delibera-
 tions.
 Considering that under the terms of tho
 armistice Turkey is debarred from re- vetualling her besieged fortresses, she has little to gain by undue delay The
 growing strength of the military party
 in Constantinople may. however. have
 an unexpected influence on the develop
 ment of the situation.
 The Russian premiers speech in the duma, which was awaited with much
 interest. is regarded as peaceful fac
 tor, but at the same time it is plain | intimation to the world that Russia stands firmly behind the Balkan states
 in support of their securing all the le- gitimate fruits of their victory, and there-
 fore may be regarded somewhat in the | light of a warning to Austria The Servian government meanwhile Is
 doing it's utmost to avoid needlessly pro.
 voking Austria. Premier Patchitch, ae.
 cording to a Belgrade dispatch. has writ ten to the editors of the leading news papers uring them in the interests ol peace to refrain from publishing articles provocative to Austria, and two Belgrade paper have been seized for attacking Austria.
 In accordance with the request of the | dalaOataS tn the rOnfapAfpa Sir Ed. ward Grey has appointed Herman Cam eron Norman first secretary of the British diplomatic service to take charge of the secretariat of the conference.

May Speak to Business Meetings

Many of these societies. Ire said, rep resent important objects. and appreciate the possibilities of assisting government work in speaking before them, but 1 really don't see any need of going to the banuuets of the organizations. It might be better to address the business meetings of these societies
 MT Wilson said that his open door pol icy would be preserved at the White House so far as 1t was physically possi- ble, and that he intended to have the doors of the executive offices thrown wide open so that the President would be accessible at all times but only to those "who have business to transact
 Another White House tradition which Mir. Wilson probably will alter to some extent is the prohibition on the news paper men of referring to conversations with the President in the first person. MT. Wilson said tonight he probably would express himself often, and fin the first person in statements issued from time to time on public questions

Difference of Opinion

There is great difference of opinion among the friends of Mr. underwoo. about the advisability of his accepting the position Of Secretary of the Treasury iH case it is offered him. But it may be said that u majority of them believe that 1t would be for the best interest of the party and the country. if he re- mained in the House. Many of hls
 friends in Congress have frankly told him for his own sake and the sake of ,hs party he ought to continue as leader until the tariff legislation is disposed Oi.

With the location of the federal

this event there will be all the more
reason to expect sessions in Dickinson

fraud through an alleged mail order
business q great deal Of fraud is COM
mitted In that way. Crooks and shy
sters Of all kinds advertise great bar
gains by mail. and pocket money sent
to them, and often get away before the
fraudulent nature of their business is
shown. The same rule applied to ped
dlers and solicitors of all kinds applies
to the mail order business. namely, that
no, money should yer be paid to stran-
9ers. OF course no man is q stranger
who comes properly introduced, or who
is able in any other way to establish
his identity and reliability. But there
are thousands of persons who will order
goods from q solicitor whom they never
saw before. and of whom they know
nothing, and who will make q small
payment on account. Sometimes it is
all right. Often. however. that is the
last. that the customer ever hears of the
solicitor. So it is by mail. The fraud
will offer goods at phenomenally low
prices, but requires cash with the order,
or at least q payment on account. There
are firms with whom it is perfectly safe
to do business in this way. But it is
certainly not safe to send money to a
person or q firm of whom one knows
nothing. The reliability oj the dealer
should be established in some way be-
fore money is SEN to him.
