cept it,"
"Well," said the postman, smiling,
''what do you want me to write-s

"If you mean business, please write
love letter." was her blushing reply.

TURKEY WANTST|ME.
ACTION AT PEACE CONFERENCE
CALLS FORTH STORM
OF PROTEST.
AND WILL NOT TREAT With GREECE
Its Representative Tells Conference
His Government Must Feed Peo-
pie at Adrianople Before
Negotiation Proceed.

London.-Turkey is playing the old
game of delay and has caused a fur
Their postponement of the oft-delayed
peace conference.
1t is evident the Turkish delegates
are trying to gain the right to provi-
sion Adrianople by conserving to in
clude Greece in the conference. The
allies are anxious to proceed with the
negotiations and have openly limited
that these delays must come to an
end.
Saturdays sitting was the most i'm
partant since the beginning of the con-
ference, as it was the first time the
opposite parties had come into a Sc
rious engagement, which is preliminary
to the crucial question over the pos
session of Adrianople.
Turkish Delegates Speak.
The Montenegrin ex-premier, Miyus-
kovitch, who presided, seemed on lac-
count of his rather severe and impe-
rious aspect to be the best president
for the occasion of a stormy sitting.
When the president asked Rechad
Pasha to communicate in confidence
the answer which he had received from
Constantinople there was a moment OF
breathless silence.
Rechad Pasha arose and outlined the
instructions he had received, to the
effect that Turkey should not treat
with Greece, as the latter state had
put herself out of the negotiations by
refusing to adhere to the armistice.
But, he added, wishing to show a len
lent spirit and a conciliatory DISPOSE
ton, and also out of regard for Europe,
Turkey was willing to treat on con
dition that the allies in return granted
the privilege of revictualing Adrian.
ople.
This, he pointed out, was simply a
humanitarian request, as, besides the
belligerents, there were more than
10000 people suffering from lack OF
food. Revictualing this fortress, he
argued, would not change the situation
as it existed, at which time the Bulga
rians declared they could seize Adrian
ople whenever they wished or force
Tchatalja.
Creates Sensation.
Rechad Pasha's statement caused {
great sensation and the Balkan dele
gates whispered among themselves.
The head of the Turkish delegation
continued to illustrate the Ottoman
viewpoint, which aimed to limit as
much apsossible disasters and suffer
ings from the war by supplying t.
Adrianople what was strictly necessary
to sustain life.
The conference will then be able t.
proceed with its work, he said, in the
knowledge that the town was moi
starving while the delegates were ne
gotiating.
DR.. Daneff, the chief Bulgarian plen
ipotentiary, eloquently countered witt
solid arguments against Turkeys prop
osition. He recalled that the armistict
was an accomplished fact and was sc
well defined that the delegates lacked
the power to change it, their mission
being circumscribed to the conclusion
of peace. With reference to peace, h<
said, there was no limit to their pow
ers, but their credentials did not au
thorize them to deal with incidents
either already solved or outside the
mission which brought them to Lon
don.

then despite the tremendous demands

favorite places of relaxation is Hea-
ley's restaurant, Sixty-sixth street and

at a table.

"I'n have a tub of your best but

Father Fails 70 RETURN.

The father soon left the house, say
ing he was coming to Curlew to make
arrangements for the funeral and
would be back by night. He failed to
return by the next morning, so Mrs.
Stoddard enlisted the help of the
neighbors. Inquiry made at nearby
towns finally developed that Stoddard
had taken train presumably to Spo-
kane. An inquest held Friday night by
authorities summoned from Republic
showed strychnine poisoning.
Stoddard's family consisted of his
wife and five small children. They
were very poor. the father not having
been able to obtain sufficient work to
supply the family with food and
clothing.
Mrs. Stoddards theory is that the
father. under mental arrangement, de
termined to make away with the en-
tire family rather than see them suf-
fer want.
Children Have But Little Clothing.
The children were almost naked and
the last food was on the table. The
daughter was the first to taste the
coffee. She was her fathers favorite
and her instant death, according to
the theory, unnerved him, so that he
snatched away the rest of the food
before the others of the family could
get any of it.
