Miss Chamberlain Tells of Conditions in Canneries
 in New York

Albany. N Y. November 26.-"The youngsters work regularly from a. m. until 10 p. m. and sometimes until mid night
 This testimony was given before the state factory Investigating committee to- day by Miss Mary Elizabeth Chamber lain. member of the class of 1909 of Vassar college, who herself worked in sev- erH canneries in the state for the pur- pose of studying the question of child labor
 Miss Chamberlain stated that children ranging in age from 4 years up worked these long hours in the busy season.
 She said that the spectacle of these little human machines. some of them with their fingers wrapped in bandages, the result of having them split in their work, was as sad as 1t was shocking
 .sThe people of the state would indeed be appalled," she continued. If they were to see these children on cold mornings, shivering in blankets, at work, scarcely awake"
 Miss Chamberlain said that "these par ents were not Americans, the American mothers being more considerate of their offspring"
 She related how one little fellow told
  her he had been pulled out of bed at 8 o'clock in the morning and having been up until P the night before. "The boy earned s1. 40 for working from a. m. until il p. m.," Miss Chamberlain con tinued. "and the next morning he tear fully declared, Honest, Miss Chamber lain, 1t didn't seem as if was in bed a minute.' "
 Miss Chamberlain told the commission that the owner of one cannery insisted children were not employed as early as a. m., but she had awakened in her hotel at 3 o'clock one morning and dis. covered parade of mothers and chill dren and baby carriages making for the cannery, and following the procession. found her conclusions well founded"
 The canners admitted there were cer- tain conditions which ought to be rem edied, but stated lit is impossible, as you know, to legislate humanity into heaven"

The Austrian Altitude

| Paris, November 27.--The Constanti- | nople correspondent of the Matin says
 that Helmi Pasha, the Turkish ambas-
 sador at Vienna, telegraphs to the porte an account of his interview with the Austro- Hungarian minister of foreign
 affairs, Count Won Berchthold. Ac. cording to the ambassador the minister | said:
 Austria and Germany up to the pres 1 ent have shown desire that there shah
 be no disturbance of the general peace 1 In spite of the awkwardness of the
 situation, however. the government of Austria today decided not to allow at
 any price, the opening of the straits to
 the Russian fleet. I desire that Turkey
 shall make demonstration by con | centrating her troops on the Russian frontier. and that she shall continue
 the war against the Balkan states. if autonomy for Macedonia cannot be ob- talned."
 From the reports of German and Aus 1 trian military attaches 1t Is learned that Count Won Berchthold affirms that the situation of the allied armies is
 deplorable and advises the Turks to reject all propositions looking to peace or an armistice, because the porte wifi
 see the pretentions of the allied states
 gradually diminish.
 Count von Berchthold is quoted as saving that Austria IS on the eve of a war and that if the conditions sug- gested by Austria are rejected an inter
 national conflict practically is certain.
 The correspondent understands that
 the conditions suggested by Austria to
 be, offered to the allied Balkan states
 are the establishment of Turkish Austrian protectorate over Albania the indepe ndence on the part of Macedonia inhabited by the Kutzovlachs, and the austrofica tion of the railroad between Mitrovitza, Uskup and Saloniki

triple alliance. A rupture of the armis- tice negotiations Is regarded as imm- nent and certain.
 Both government organs. Ikdam and sabah, employ unusual frankness in dis oussing the situation. They assert that while the triple entente Great Britain, France and Russia) is urging the porte to conclude peace, the triple alliance (Aus- tria, Germany and Italy) advises resist ance, and, foreseeing a general war, both papers argue that Turkey should profit thereby to secure the best possible bar gain when the settlement comes to be discussed by the European conference. This, they declare, can best be obtained by throwing the Turkish military strength on the side of the triple alliance.
 Negotiations for an armistice will be- gin tomorrow, when the delegates will hold their deliberations in a railway car riage at the Tehatalja.'' says a Sofia dis patch to the Times, under date of No Yember 26
 The prospects of a successful issue of the negotiations perhaps are improved owing to the portes vigorous measures against the young Turks. I have req son to believe that the allies will insist upon complete evacuation of Albania bs bhC uihsf NuoSt presence lnele IS as little desired by the Albanians them selves as by the Greeks, Servians and Montenegrins.'
 Negotiating With Greece The Daily Chronicle prints a Constan- tinople dispatch saying its correspondent had heard that Greece has concluded peace with Turkey. on the basis of Greece retaining Saloniki This Is considered highly improbable, although negotiations to that end may be going on.
 The Daily Mall says: We learn that Austria has called 1S0oo reservists to the colors and that the military districts of Vienna and Gratz are being placed on an enhanced peace footing. which includes all the reservist offices."
 The Times cor lndent at Constan- tinople learns iron 0ell informed source that no time limit to the negotiations has been filed and that formal discus sion of the terms of the armistice will begin Wednesday, when the porte's legal advisers join the delegates. A Belgrade dispatch says:
 After several hours conversation to- day with King Peter, Baron Hartwig. the Russian minister to Servia, said 10 the leading Servian Journalists:
 Gentlemen, get ready to pack yo,n trunks soon. The King shares my opin- ion in every respect
 These words are interpreted to im- ply that the situation is extremely se- rious"

 In addition to withdrawing her in- sistence on the evacuation of the Tcha- taIa lines in front of Constantinople and allowing the garrison of Adrlanople to march out provided guarantees are given that the troops will not engage in further hostilities, Bulgaria will probably consent to Turkeys with drawing the artillery from that for tress.
 In other ways also, the Bulgarian government will be prepared to do everything possible to aid in estab- fishing d permanent peace.

 Armistice Is Fragile
 The latest news received here tonight fofeshadows the breakdown of the arnis- tice negotiations probably over the de- mand of the Bulgarans for the evacua- tion of Adrianople, to which Turkey will not Estea.
 The Turkish view is that while the allies have no more reserves which they can draft upon, Turkey isy drawing a plentiful supply of fresh troops from Asia and is able to continue the war for an other year. The Turkish military author ities assert that Adrianople can hold out for another month and that the Tchatalja lines are impregnable. Hence Turkey s position is not desperate enough to war rant her accepting humiliating terms.

His trustees and himself were all hoping he said, that congress would meet the situation "by proper action" Not one of us but will rejoice should this be the result" he said.
