London, Nov. 2O.-The nations OF
the Balkan confederacy, satiated with
victory, have signifed their willing
ness to treat for terms of peace at
the request of the vanquished Turkish
empire.
The luster Of their success only
slightly has been dimmed by their
temporary failure to overcome the
rallied Turkish army at the gates of
Constantinople and enter the Otto
man capital.
The stubborn defense encountered
by the Bulgarians at the line of for
tifcations at Tchatalja and the real

simultaneously with the dispatch to
the grand vizier of their agreement to
appoint peace plenipotentiaries the
allied Balkan nations notified the Eu-

taken and thanked them for their of.

They added that mediation was no

states, which would treat with Tur.
key without outside Intervention.
That the terms of the victors will
be drastic is known, but the European
powers are doing their utmost to make
them less harsh than was at first
mooted, without attempting to rol
the Balkan confederacy of the fruits
of it's aggressive campaign.
With the jealous eyes of Russia on
Constantinople, with the recrudescence
of the Austro-Servian difficulty on the
other side of what hitherto has been
known as European Turkey and with
Roumania inquiring what she may ex
pect out of the spoils, there seems to
observers every inducement for the
allied Balkan nations to keep their
demands within moderate limits.

OTHER ELECTION RESULTS
Legislature Expected to Bar National
Parties In City ElectIons-Extrava-
eance Cause of Present
Landslide.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Milwaukee has re-
pudiated socialism.
Mayor Seidel, after two years of
control of the city with a big majority
of the City Council, has been voteI
out of Office. His vote was 10000 to
43,172 for his opponent, DR.. G. A. Bad.
ing. Practically all the Aldermen auG
other city officials fall with him.
A fusion ticket headed by DR.. G. A.
Bading, Republican, with J. P. Carney
and L. NJ. Kotecki, Democrats, have
won by a majority never approached
in the history Of Milwaukee.
Two years ago when Seidel was
elected $4,000 votes were cast.
On the question of Americanism VS..
Socialism and extravaganza as the
fusion ticket forced the issue $4,000
votes were recorded.
The new City Council will consist of
twenty-six Non-partisans and eleven
Socialists, of whom two are followers.
Under the fusion plan the v~ictorio4.s
ticket is under the Democratic desig-
nation.
The majority against the Socialists
breaks all records.
The landslide probably eliminated
every national political party from
participation in future municipal cleo
tons in Wisconsin, because as a re-
suit of the non-partisan victory in Mil
waukee the State Legislature at a
special session soon to be convened is
expected to pass a distinctly non-par-
tisan city election statute.

An Easter service should produce a
resurrection of the thought and feel

discords. From the beginning to the
end there should be a constant up

lions, they should be a suggestion.
The Scripture selections and the
hymns should all bear in one direc-
ton; the music should never over
whelm the thought, but encourage it.
