PLENiPOTENTlARiES ACCEP
HOSPITALITY OF FRIENDS
WHILE CONFERENCE HALTs

London, Dec. 24.-The peace pleni'
potentiaries of the Ottoman empire
and Of the Balkan allies have for the
most part momentarily cast of the
cares of office and are enjoying the
hospitalities of their diplomatic repre-
sentatives in London entertaining
in their honor, or they are visiting
friends in the country.
Two or three Of them have gone to
Paris to consult with the French
Premier, Raymond Poincare, doubtless
on the subject of mediation. which was
mooted in his recent speech before
the chamber of deputies, and Is prac'
tically everywhere regarded inevitable
before the widely separated views OF
the Balkan allies and those OF the
Turks can be brought to compromise
The present long break in the nego'
tiations of the peace delegates, Is in
all probability only the first of several,
for when the plenipotentiaries come TO-
gether again in st. James palace on
Saturday, the Ottoman response to
the conditions of peace laid down, by
the Balkan allies will doubtless be
found to be merely a series of counter
proposals. .-.s..
A series of counter proposals which
will have to be referred to the Balkans
government will be submitted. This
will necessitate another long interval
There remains little doubt in diplo
matte circles, however, that the crisis
ultimately will be surmounted without
a resumption Of hostilities. Despite
the outward appearance of unity OF
views, 1t is known there is consider
able jealousy among the allied nations
as time tends to sharpen the differ
ences as to the amount Of credit due
to the work of the respective armies,
there are indications Of a desire on
the part of the members of the Bal.
kan league to yield some Of the de-
mands so as to hasten settlement.

BETTER GRADES
Newberry Wants Better
Schools Commission to
Provide Higher Quality
in Lower Branches.
IORA WILLIAMS.]

Des Moines, Dec. 24.-Iowa people
are manifesting the liveliest interest
in the work that has been inaugurated
by the better schools commission for
effective reform In relation to the
public schools. So says ex-senator
Byron w. Newberry of Clayton county.
1T seems to me that we have, In
school matters, been looking at the
steeple and ignoring the foundation or
the superstructure, as 1t were,' he
said. I'm other words, we have given
not too much attention to education
at the top, but proportionally not
enough attention to education at the
point which affects the largest number
of our people Now would not depre-
cate in the least what we have been
doing and are doing for the high
schools and the colleges and the uni
versities. 1t Is all good and worthy.
But we have gone on assuming that
the way to best educate our people Is
to get our high schools into position
to fit the boys and girls for college
and then to provide for the best col
lege education. We have done we'll IN
this respect.
"Yet 1t remains true that the eighth
grade of our common schools Is
practically a finishing school for a
very large proportion of our children.
We need to give attention to the needs
OF those people who receive all their
education without ever reaching the
high school. The boy or girl in Iowa
who has half chance and really
wants a high school or college educa-
ton can get it now; but what are we
doing for the great army OF school
children who do not want either and
who perhaps would not be greatly
benefited if they were coaxed to go
through the higher grades?
Now, | want to see the time when
a teacher in the grades is just as well
paid as one in the high school, when
the teacher Of a rural school Is just
as competent as one in the grades,
when the fact is recognized that we
ought to have and must have in the
grades and in the rural schools just
as effective professional teaching as
anywhere, for then we will be reaching
the mass of the people with the best
instead of the few.
And that is what the better schools
commission is trying to accomplish
We have proposed number of simple
measures looking to that end. We be-
lieve the people are ready for these
improvements in the school system.
There is very great interest. mani
tested in this work and it is growing
RAPIDLY. The legislature can do moth
ing that will rebound more to Its
credit than to take hold OF this school
problem and work out something real.
iy good. The people are ready for 1t"

INDIAN CRANK
BOMB THROWER
|. STILL AT LARGE
Viceroy Hardinge Spent a
Restless Night and Had to
be Given Morphine to AL
lay Pain of Wound.

Delhi. India. Dec. 24.-The attempt
on the lives of Baron and Lady
Hardinge yesterday by an Indian
fanatic kept the police and civil
authorities Of the imperial city Of India
occupied today. A large number of per-
sons have been arrested
1t has been proved that at least $50
people were gathered at the back OF
the premises from which the bomb
was thrown. In the vicinity also was a
dense crowd of natives. No special
police arms had been made for the oc.
casion and only the ordinary native
police commanded by British officers
were on duty in the streets
There are scores of theories. Some
believe that the attempted assassina
tion was the work of Bengalee who
was trying to avenge what he con-
sidered the insult of the removal of
India's capital from Calcutta to Delhi
The incident generally is regarded as
significant Of the peril to which any
high official is subjected in an Indian
city now that anarchy has permeated
certain classes of the very mixed pop,l-
lation of the Indian empire.
Closer examination Of the Howdah
in which the viceroy was seated when
the missile was thrown shows how
narrow was the escape of Baron
Hardinge. The high back of the
Howdah, which was made of hardwood
and against which the viceroy was re-
clining, was wrecked by splinters of
metal
The bomb was of the ordinary type
but contained large number of
screws and talking machine needles.
Some Of these. when dispersed by the
explosion. struck the helmets Of men
belonging to the battalion Of the king 8
royal rifles. who were drawn .np~in
line along the street None Of the
soldiers were seriously hurt.f
A bulletin issued this morning by
doctors in attendance on the viceroy
says: i ~. sf.'
Baron Hardinge passed restless
night. 1t was necessary to relieve his
pains with injections of morphine. He
suffered little fever last night and
none was present this morning.
1T was found through the operation
last night that the muscle under the
shoulder was rather badly torn"

For this reason the Christmas total
