Peace Conference Situation
Has Appearance of
Deadlock
DEMANDS OF BOTH
''PREPOSTEROUS"
Believed, Though, Some Sort
of a Bargain Will Be
Reached Eventually

London, Dec. 2s.-The peace ENJOYS
both of the Balkan states and OF Turkey
have adopted the attitude of intractabil-
ity which was anticipated toward their
opponents proposed terms of settlement.
Each side declares that the demand 5
of the Others are preposterous.
Third parties who are in touch with
both groups of negotiations share this
opinion.
IT is intimated that period of whit
Ting is necessary to transform the pro-
posals and counter proposals into such
shape as will enable the peace confer
ence, assisted by the friendly pressure
of the powers, TO strike bargain. This,
it is thought, will occur in due time.
As matter of fact, the proposal OF
the Balkan allies of which they would
come into possession of the coast of the
sea of Marmora is regarded as quite
as impossible of achievement as in the
Turkish demand that the Ottoman em-
pire be allowed to maintain sovereign
~ over the coast OF the Aegean sea,
including the city of Saloniki.
The powers, it is pointed out, would
promptly veto the project of the allies,
which would, if carried into effect, give
Bulgaria practical control OF the OAR
danelles.

During the first and second decades
of the twentieth century the women
of England and America determined 10
wrest the vote for themselves from self
fish man. The principal argument used
against them was: IF you are citizens
in one respect you must be citizens in
all respects. If you are voters you
must be soldiers"
The women triumphed. But their
securing the vote brought about that
which In the beginning they had not
intended. Having proved their cour-
age and endurance. they were forced
10 do military service. The more deli
cate woniea could not be induced to so
10 the polls. This gave the men ma
jority. and an act was passed by con-
Gress requiring military service from
women as well as men.
To the surprise OF every one. they
sprang forward with alacrity. That
aggressive spirit which had led many
OF them TO smash windows led them to
enlist. and the womans brigade Of the

placed under the command OF women
officers. The corps had hardly been
completed when the anarchic condition
OF Mexico rendered intervention neces-
