 MUCH HEAVIER THIS YEAR.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Although the holiday mail is heavier in practically every section of the country than eyer before. the work of handling IL was performed with less congestion and confusion than in previous years according to reports received today by Postmaster General Hitchcock.
 Slight interruptions were reported in a few sections of the. country on account of weather conditions, but aside from that there was at no point in the service any congestion of the mails which was not under control.
 A large force than usual was put on this year to handle the Christmas mail in order that the capacity of the service could be tested in anticipa- ton of the establishment of the par eel post system which becomes oper- alive throughout the service Jan. I. The reports made to MT. Hitchcock show that holiday mail was deliver ed early Christmas day and condi- tions were generally normal through out the service on Christmas night.

TURKS AND ALLIES STANDING PAT ON TERMS NOW BEFORE
 THE COMMISSION.
TURKEY GROWS ARROGANT
Ask Why They Should Accede to Foolish Demands of the Allies Threaten to Recover All the
 Lost Territory.

London, Dec 26. Boih the Turks and the Balkan allies are standing by their guns on the peace terms. Both declare it is impossible to If cede rom their positions
 Nevertheless these who think they know what is going on behind the scenes still believe the probabilities of the conclusion of peace are great CT than of the resumption of the con fiict The exchange of cipher dis patches between the administration at Constantinople and Rschad Pasha continues but the chief of the Turk ish plenipotentiaries declines to di- yulge the nature of the reply he will present to the allies Saturday when the conference reassembles. Ii is said that if will be as already out
 ined with the additional promise that Turkey will apply to the European territories remaining to her, the re- forms which Count Von Berchtnold, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minis ter proposed before the war
 While I cannot discuss the reply of the Ottoman government," said Rechad Pasha tonight, nothing pre-. vents me from saying that the terms the allies have proposed are absurd. They have produced this impression wherever heard. even outside of Turkish circles. IL was never known that after the conclusion of an armis- tice one beligerent parry could ask the othsr to cede territory Dravelg defended and still resisting with hero- ism.
 Why should we do this, especially when the Bulgarians had three rever- ses at our hands just before the arm istice while the trreeks who continu- ed to fight, were defeated both on land around Janina and at sea off the 
 s"Turley was induced to accept an only on the advice of the powers in order to avoid useless earn age on both sides The same humani- tartan consideration led the Ottoman government to ask for the revictual- ing of the beseiged towns and might induce the government to yield cer- tain conditions for the sake of peace. But there is q limit which the allies nave far surpassed.
 The allies, on the other hand as 1ert the armisiice was arranged 10 give Turkey an opportunity of making peace terms without suffering further losses in the field. and they character ize Turkish talk of keeping Adria- and Scutari and regain ing Saloniki as simply laughable. Gen nanglis, the Greek chief of gen- eral staff. said:
 Let them ceme and take Salonikf If they can. Even the dust of our an- cient heros would rise up to defend our rights

ALL CANDIDATES TOOK UP CAN VAss FOR VOTES FOLLOWING
 THE PASSING OF XMAS.
WOULD WIN THAT FINE PIANO
instrument Was Tried Out by Sew eraI Experts Yesterday and Pro- nounced' a SpIendidly Toned
 Piano and a Fine One:

Now that Christmas has passed in earnest the candidates in the Sen tinel-hecord's big voting >contest lave taken up their work anew and with a new determination to win the Levine piano, now that they have had an opportunity to see the magnifi- cent instrument which comprises the first prize.
 To the candidates and their friends 1t will be good news to learn that the beautiful instrument was yester- day given a trial by Fred Pennell and other piano experts of the city. Although the instrument has been placed in a window of limited room proportion and is in measure in muffied position, it showed won- derful tone, full and smooth, with an action that stamps it as a high grade instrums nt. Those who examined it and tried it pronounced it equal to every claim that has been made for it, and all marveled it the beauty of it's construction.
 The first day after Christmas show ed a material change in the vote standing. Some new contenders are coming up in the list, and to these
 he Sentinel-Record would say, Get busy, and get busy now" The piano may be won in the next few days of canvass and may be won by some contestant who has not up to this time been a real contender for first 6onors. That is the history of such .f a. T of have not as yet really tried their skill at securing subscriptions, aside rom canyassing among their friends The whole business section and the residence section of the city is all most a new field for solicitation. Ev- cry day voluntary helpers come to the Sentinel-Record office and pay subscriptions, giving their votes 70 the candidate of their choice. This is conclusive evidence that there Is still much territory to be eanyassed.
 Remember, this is the contest in which everybody wins. The Leyhe Cabinet Grand Piano Is the first prize 4 beautiful s25 Writing Desk and a liberal award in cash is the second prize, while every other working can didate receive an award in cash in proportion to the number of subscrip- tions received and money collected by each contestant.
 This last feature of the contest has brought out new candidates within the past few days and some of the ladies are earning substantial sums each day by getting subscTip- tions. There will be no disappointed losers in this contest. If you fail to win the big prizes, you will be well paid anyway for the time you have given to the contest.
 The contest is open at all times for new entries and there should be some more active workers in the field be- fore the close of the second period which is tomorrow.
 All contestants are notified to bring all subscriptions received up to Sat urday night to the contest manager as the ratio of votes will change with the final period. All received in the second period count more. Also all tlhe single coupons which expire at four o'clock Saturday afternoon should be brought in in order that they may be counted in the vote ctapdipo
