ADJOURNED WITH

ONE-HALF HOURS.
(Bu Associated Press.l

London, Dee. 2S.-Peace envOvs repre-
Isenting the Balkan allies and the Turk
lish empire met again today and after an
hour and half discussion decided Oh q
further adjournment until O'Clock
Monday afternoon. The first matter OIL
hand was the presentation by the Turk
ish plenipotentiaries of the counter pro
ment in reply to those offered by the
Balkan allies.
The Balkan representatives found the
Turkish conditions quite unacceptable
and after discussion no further progress
was made, the Turkish ENJOYS saving
that they must again communicate with
their government.
The official story of the sixth session
of the peace conference issued imme-
ldiately after its adjournment says:
''The Turkish delegates having pre-
sented their counter proposals, the dele
gates of the Balkan allies made their OBJ
lservatiOns and the meeting was adjourn
ed until Monday"
The proposals submitted today by the
Ottoman delegates were:
First, the province of Adrianople to
remain under the direct administration
of Turkey
The second, Macedonia to be converted
into principality with Saloniki as its
tcapital. The principality to be under
the suzerainty of the sultan of Turkey,
but governed by prince chosen by the
Balkan allies and nominated by the sui
tan of Turkey.
This province to be Protestant and
form a neutral state.
Third, Albania to be autonomous un-
der the sovereignty of the sultan and
governed by a prince Of the imperial OF
toman family, who is to be chosen for
a term of five years, with the possibility
of renewal of his appointment.
Fourth, all the islands in the Aegean
Sea to remain Turkish
Fifth, the Cretan question not to be
one for the decision of the conference,
as it is matter between Turkey and the
European powers.
These terms do not form even the
basis for negotiations" was the unani-
nous outcry of the peace envoys of the
allied Balkan nations today after Re
chad Pasha, chief Turkish delegate, had
read the reply he had received from Con
Istantinople to his request for instruc-
L tions.

Good Roads Resolutions.

The following resolutions adopted by
l.. II. Nelson of Portland came up for
discussion Immediately after the pre-
sentation of the address of Mr.. ScatcS.
Resolved:
Whereas. 1t is necessary and desir-
able that the highways of Maine be inn
proved. aud that the Legislature be
empowered to borrow money for this
specific purpose and
Whereas. The constitution of the
State of Maine at present unduly linn
its the power OF the Legislature in
this respect,
Now, therefore, we. the Maine State
Board Of Trade, in meeting assembled
respectfully recommend that the Leg
slature at its special session to be
held i'll March, 1912, pass a resolution
submitting to the vote of the people of
the State of Maine an amendment to
the Constitution enabling the State to
issue bonds in an amount not exceed
ing $2,000,000. the proceeds of which
bonds shall be devoted solely to the
building and maintaining of highways
aud requiring that the income from
the special license or tax upon public
and private automobiles and motor
vehicles, or SO much thereof as may
be necessary snail be set apart and
|applied to the payment of principal
and interest of such bonds.
We further respectfully recommend
that the Legislature at the session in
March, 1912. provide for the creation
of Il special commission TO investigate
thoroughly the matter of building and
maintaining Il comprehensive highway
system for Maine, which commission
shall report at the next regular Sos
sion of The Legislature to be held,
Jan. !, 1913.
The discussion was participated in
by Mr.. Nelson. |. G. Gerry of Sanford,
Hon. Horace Purinton of Waterfalls.
Hon. William r. Haiues of Waterville
and others
Mr. Haines declared that he thor
oughlY endorsed Mr.. Nelson's schelhe
as a feasible one and one which should
appeal to the people. He alluded to
the efforts of the State Board of Trade
in securing a State highway commits
sioner He was glad there was one
question before the incoming Legisla-
ture that all could agree upon.
A unanimous passage was given the
Nelson resolution.
1t was voted to appoint a commit
tee of five to present the matter of
the good roads board issue to the
special session of the Legislature.

Good Roads

Hon John Clark Scates of West
brook spoke in part as follows:
lf you should ask me which is tile
greatest question before the people Of
this State, the one that not only per
lains to the material welfare but to
their pleasure. comfort and happiness
as well, | should answer, good roads.
The query arises when and how are
we to obtain these good roads TO the
first. | most emphatically answer now
not 1--WE, 10 or 20 years hence, for if those
good roads are to come as they GER
tainly are. the present generation has
right to some of the benefits that
VIII accrue from them.
1t has been estimated and conserva-
lively that the automobile license tax
will amount approximately to S115.0o0
or $4,000. This will increase each
year. the amount of increase depend
ing in no small measure/on the eondi-
ton of the roads. If 100000 is re-
ceived each year, it will pay the inter-
est on $4,000, 900 and liquidate the prin-
cipal in rs years. The despised auto
mobile will provide this vast sum to
improve our highways without a pen
ny's expense to the State or municipal
tiles The State of course will be
