LONDON, Dec. 6.-An unconhrmed
dispatch from Constantinople early to-
day said that Greece had accepted the
terms of the Baghtohe agreement and
had signed the Balkan-Turkish arm
istice.
II was considered most likely that
an official statement would be issued
during the day at Athens. announcing
that Greece would participate in the
peace conference set for next week.
All Europe is looking for war news,
when the military experts and diplo-
mats believe, not only will the Balkan
war be settled, but the war clouds
overseeing the country will be brush
ed away. The Balkan negotiations TO
begin next Friday, TO be supplemented
by the ambassadorial conference pro-
posed by Sir Edward Grey, II Is be-
lieved, will insure the peace or the
near east for many years TO come.
The report from Constantinople to-
day that the Greek plenipotentiaries
had signed the armistice which was
agreed upon by Turkey and the Bal
kan states three days ago, removed
whatever doubt there might have been
that ENJOYS Of King George would par.
ticipate In the peace conference. The
acceptance by both Servia and Aus
tria-Hungary Of Sir Edward Grey's pro
posal for the meeting OF ambassadors
was taken to mean that Servia was
willing to submit her claims TO the
powers, and an amicable arrangement
is confidently expected.
The declaration by the French
premier, M. Poincaire that France
would stand by her allies and her
friendship" insured the endurance OF
the triple ententente. and so the ex
perts agreed that the outlook was
roseate.

FOOTPRINTS OF THE

The day of the morning that I quit Jennin was the most memorable of my camping trip through Palestine. The tents were struck before the dew had left the grass and at six o'clock I was in the saddle.

 Gideon was encamped upon the side of the mountain and commanded the spring which it was necessary to main- tain, while the enemy lay in the plain at his feet. Between the spring and the Midianites stretched a tall morass which presented most salient opportunity for attack from ambush. Gideon wished to know which of his army appreciated this fact and were apprehensive of the danger attending the situation. Those of his men, who, in their eagerness to

Fishing at Biarritz
rom the Youth's Companion.

T AOHi tue Outi S oOl1fpdHlon.
 In the neighborhood of Biarritz, in southwestern France, an original method of taking fish from the sea has been in- vented by the inhabitants along shore. Two poles 40 or 50 feet tall and placed eight or nine yards apart are erected on the beach.
 By means of pulleys a continuous line running over the tops of the poles and attached also to the top of another pole placed 800 yards out in the sea can be alternately drawn either shoreward or Seaward.
 Short lines with hooks and bait hang from the main line, and when they are loaded with fish the fisherman, sitting oy his little cabin on shore, draws in his take" rebaits his hooks and by pulling in the opposite direction replaces the row of baited lines fin the sea.

 Outside of the cisterns for the storing of the winter rains, Nazareth has but one water supply called Ain Sitt Miry- fam, or the Spring of the Lady Mary" and from this fact 1t is practically cer- tain that the Virgin resorted here to carry home water in her huge earthen jar just as the Nazarene damsels do today.
