ADJOURNED TO THURSDAY.
INV Associated Press.

London, Dec. ia peace confer
ence obstacle was encountered early
because of the absence of Greece's
signature to the armistice protocol
and the delegates were compelled to
adjourn without making any progress.
They will not meet again until
late Thursday and in the meantime
the delegates will communicate with
their home governments.
It is understood the Turkish pleni-
potentiaries are not authorized to
recognize the delegation unless Greece
signs the armistice. The Greek repre-
sentative refused today to sign the
protocol, saying 1t would make no diff
ference as the decision of the Balkan
league would be binding on Greece.

SIGNS CANAL BILL
President Also Adds Explanation
Of Hay'PauncefOle Treaty.
British Protest Would Lead to Alb
surd Conc Neutrality viii
Be Maintained

Washington. d. president Taft
signed the Panama Canal bill at 10
o'clock Saturday night Following
this he sent TO congress a memoran-
dunn suggesting the advisability of the
passage of resolution which would
declare that this measure was not con-
sidered by this government violation
Of the treaty provisions regarding the
canal.
In discussing the British protest
against the exemption Of American
shipping from the payment of tolls
for the use Of the canal, Mr.. Taft says
the irresistible conclusion to be drawn
from it is that although the United
States owns, controls and has paid for
the canal, it is restricted by treaty
from aiding its own commerce in the
way that all the other nations Of the
world may freely do"
"In view of the fact" Mr.. Taft
continues, THAT the Panama canal is
being constructed by the United
States wholly at its own cost, upon
territory coded to it by the Republic
of Panama for that purpose, and that
unless it has restricted itself, the
United States enjoys absolute rights
of ownership and control, including
the right to allow its own commerce
the use Of the canal upon such terms
as it sees fit, the sole question is
Has the United States (by the terms
of the Hay Pauncefote treaty. de-
prived itself of the exercise of the
right to pass its own commerce free,
or to remit tolls collected for the use
Of the canal7
The president points out that the
rules specified in the articles of the
treaty, which Is made the basis for
the British protest, were adopted by
the United States as the basis of neu-
tralization of the canal and for no 9TH
er purpose.
The article, he further says, "is g
declaration of policy by the United
States that the canal shall be neutral
that the attitude of this government
towards the commerce of the world il
that all nations will be treated alike
and no discrimination made by the
United States against any one of then
observing the rules adopted by thu
United States In other words, i
was a conditional favored-nation treat
ment. the measure of which, in thu
absence of express stipulation to tina
effect, is not what the country give
to its own nationals, but the treat
ment it extends to other nations-
"Thus it is seen that the rules ar
but the basis of naturalization intende
to effect the neutrality which the Uni
ted States was N-:lling should be tn
character of the canal and not intend
ed to limit or hamper the Unite
States in the exercise of its sovereig
power to deal with its own commerce
using its own canal in whatsoeve
manner it saw fit"

GENERAL BOOTH is DEAD.
Venerable Commander of Salvation
Army Yields to Old Age.

London = General William Booth,
commander in-chief of the Salvation
Army. is dead at his home in this city.
He was born in Nottingham IN 1929,
being 83 years old at the time Of his
death.
The veteran Salvation Army leader
was unconscious for 48 hours before
he died. The medical bulletins had
not revealed the seriousness of the
generals condition, which for a week,
it is now admitted, was hopeless.
Twelve weeks ago General Booth un-
derwent an operation for the removal
of a cataract in his left eye. For two
days after the operation indications
gave hope of his recovery. Then sep
tic poisoning set in, and from that
time, with the exception of occasional
rallies, the patients health steadily de-
clined.
The general recognized that the end
was near and often spoke of his work
as being finished.
Throughout the commander-in-
chiefs illness his son, Bramwell Booth,
chief of staff OF the army. and Mrs.
Bramwell Booth, gave their unremit-
ting attentions to him.
The evangelist died in his residence,
the Rockstone Hadley Wood, eight
miles from London, where he had beer
confined to his bed since the operation

provided by the original Chamberlain
amendment and it was only after
great difficulty that Representative

were able to hold this amount in the
bill.
The impression was general in each
house. As \ result of the testimony of

that this road was designed primarily
to benefit hotels in which Steel ad-
mitted be was interested. The bill
also carries 500, 900 for road work on
