They are wonderful inn provement over the magic lantern-for they reproduce on a screen any picture or postcard that you wish. They are ingenious affairs; with no trouble at all they bring out clearly and de- lightfully the scenes you wish to show your friends, the pictures you took during the last vacation, the post cards you may have received from those very friends last summer or a year ago.

Washington, Dec! 18-F'ormer Sena- tor Joseph B.

Hearst, the New York publisher, paid s34, GOO for the ArchboId letters which he publish ed Foraker declared he knew noth- ing az to the accuracy of the state- ment which was secured by one of his private agents from Willie Winkfie1d, of Chicago, and purported to be Wink fields version of how the letters were
 The ex-Senator vigorously denied ever being in any Sense lobbyist for Standard OH and insisted that there was nothing unethical in his actions as counsel for the oil trust at one per- iod in his career

BALKIN STATES
 DEFY TURKEY
 TO FOLD OUT
Ottoman Refusal to Treat With
 Peace Envoys Of Greece
 Means Renewal of HostiIities

London, Dec 1S.-"The Balkan states will not treat with Turkey without Greek participation and if Turkey per- Sists in her attitude Of refusal to rec ognize the peace envoys of Greece at Thursdays meeting the next session of the allies and the Ottoman govern ment will be- the battle lines of Chatalja in a war that will bring rope,'' was the emphatic statement to- day of Dr. S. Danen, chief delegate of Bulgaria
 Csman Nfzzami Pasha and Rechid Pasha. Ottoman envoys, refused to treat with Premier Venize1oS and the other Greek delegates because Greece failed to sign the protocol for an ar- mistice at Bagtechi and was even then continuing warfare against the ports land and sea
 The declaration Of pr. Daneff. of Bulgaria, made it emphatic that if Turkey refused to treat with the Greeks, she would be refused by the other Balkan states and war would immediately be resumed.
 The Turkish delegates asked for a days delay to afford them time in which to consult with Cons tantinople and Dr. Daneh's reply was that should theTurazs on Thursday fail to reach a favorable decision regarding the Greek envoys at the next meeting, Turkey and the Balkan allies would be back on the old ground of the Chata1ja lines in war. And it would be a war that would see the end of Turkey in Europe, the Bulgarian plenipoteptiary added.
 As matters stood in today's 1ull Tur- key would not recognize Greece in the peace negotiations and the other Bal kan states would not agree. The out look was not amazingly favora ble, but the optinists believed there would be D69cH.
