johnson admitted that he had talk
ed with her over the telephone but
said that he told her it would be bet
ter if they did not see each other. He

3 LONDON, Nov. 30.-Assurances
that Turkey and the Balkan allies
will sign a peace protocol Monday
was interpreted here tonight as, on
the whole, a development calculated
to improve relations between the
big powers.
It was realized that with the res
+, toration of peace in the Balkans, the
question of each interests claim in
European peace will become pressing.
Still, there will be some degree os
certainty concerning the situation.
/ The vagueness of the outlook during
| the past few weeks has worried ev-
eryone and anxiety has made the OPP
posing groups quarrelsome.
Holiday business has suffered
throughout Europe as result OF the
war scare. In the Balkan states
this was to be expected, with war
| actually on. In Austria, however
Servia was blamed for 1t and the II.
ritation felt by merchants, who with
/ heavy Christmas stocks on hand and
no customers, faced ruin, seriously
aggravated the situation. Russia has
suffered in this way nearly as seri
ously as Austria and the damage to
j German trade was also considerable.
4 So complete was the business dis
organization that there have alread,
