STORIES OF THE WAR.

London, Dec. 1.-The signature OF
the protocol of the armistiee between
the Balkan allies and Turkey, which
was expected. today, has been post
pened, until Tuesday, as the Greek
delegate has not yet received the nee
essary authority from his govern
ment. 1t is rumored that in addition
to the Bulgarian troops just landed at
Dedeaghateh another large force of
Greek troops from Saloniki is at sci
and it is suggested, that Greece may
delay signing the Armistiee, in order
to enable these troops to arrive at
their destination, which is supposed
to be the Gulf of Sares in Gallipoli.
It is understood that the armistice
will extend for about Il fortnight if
necessary and cover the whole field
of operations. The difficulty with re-
spect to the beleaguered garrisons of
Adrianople and Scutari is being sur
mounted by permitting them to re-
ceiVe daily rations, during the armis
tice.
The plenipotentiaries appear to have
been concerned SO far solely in ar
ranging the armistice, but a peace
conference is expected to commence
Immediately, probably at Sofia and as
Bulgaria has already shown greater
forbearance than had been looked for
in waving her demand for surrender
of Adrianople, while at the same time
Turkey cannot hope to secure better
conditions by continuing the war, a
strong feeling is entertained that the
last shot in the war will have been
fired when the armistiee is signed
There Is little doubt. however. that
the peace negotiations will be diff
cult and protracted. The question of
holding a European ambassadorial
conference is still undecided but the
international situation is much more
peaceful. The Servian government de-
MES the reported preparations for

Although the terms of the armistice
will not be known until after the sig

that they nave been considerably re-

demands of the league. They provide
practically for the maintenance of the
positions which the belligerents at
present occupy and for the re-victual-

believed that this point is responsible
for the hesitation of the Hellenic dele

blockade with regard to food stuffs.
The matter, therefore. has been re-
ferred to Athens for decision.

w0mnl nj Massachusetts
Have Chance to Vote.
WuIl Go TO Polls TO Choose
Candidates for School Boards.
Thousands Registered In Different
ciiies-.I4 Cities Elect, tuesday.

Boston, Dec. Women will take a
prominent part in this months city
elections in Massachusetts. More wom-
en- probably will go to the polls than
ever before, Notwithstanding that the
law permits them to vote only for
school board candidates. Thousands
have had their names placed upon
the voting lists, within the past few
weeks, and the present registration is
nearly double that of former years.
Sharp contests for school board berths
are mainly responsible for the increase
in interest among the women. More
than 5000 women have registered in
Fall River-nearly three times as
many as We're previously on the list
and the school committee fight has
completely overshadowed the mayor
atty contest. Clergymen of several de-
nominations have stumped that city
in the interests of the candidates.
In Brockton, Democrats and Pro-
gressives have candidates for the
school committee in the field and near
ly 1000 women are eligible to vote on
election day. New Bedford also will
have an interesting contest in which
the women's vote amounting to nearly
1000 will be a strong factor. Many
women voters have expressed their
intention of casting their ballots at
the elections in Holyoke, Everett. Som
erville. Medford and other cities
On the other hand, Lawrence has
more than 1000 registered voters and
there is not woman among them,

ton of more than 500 has but % wem-

held, in January, and that of the city
of Cambridge, in March.
Many of the cities have three and
four-cornered mayoralty fights and
contests for minor offices. The liquor

BRUTALLY MURDERED.

Killed by Supposed Rivals.

New York, Dec. 1.-Antonion Lauro' s
ambition to open a grocery store in
the Italian colony on the outskirts of
Brooklyn was frustrated by his as
sassination, today, by three strangers,
who shot him down on 60th street.
On his body, which had been dragged
into an ally for hiding, were found a
number of letters threatening him
with death if he persisted in his plans
to open his store. Police believe the
assassins were hired because Lauro
defied the threats of his rival, who
feared his competition.
