10y grandfather on my fathers side
M was of almost purely Dutch
blood When he was young he
still spoke some Dutch. and Dutch was
last used in the services OF the Iutch Re
formed Church in New York while he was
a small boy.
About 1914 his ancestor, klaes Marten-
sen van Roosevelt. came 10 New Amster-
dam as a "settler''-the euphemistic name
for an immigrant who came over in the
steerage of a sailing ship in the seven
teenth century instead of the Storage Of

From that time for the next seven gem

Think OF the Governor OF New York now
submitting such bill for such AN enter
tainment of the French Ambassador and
the President OF the United States! Fal-
staff's views OF the proper proportion be-
tween sack and bread are borne out by
the proportion between the number Of
bowls of punch and bottles of port. ma
dera and beer consumed. and the coffee
for eight gentlemen" apparently the only
ones who lasted through to that stage Of
the dinner. Especially admirable is the
nonchalant manner i'm which. obviously as
a result of the drinking of said bottles Of
wine and bowls Of punch, II is recorded
that eight cutglass decanters and sixty
wine glasses We're broken.
During the Revolution some OF my fore
fathers, North and South. served respec-
tably, but without distinction, in the
army. and others rendered similar service
i'm the Continental Congress or in various
local legislatures. BY that time those who
dwet in the North were for the most part
merchants. and those who dwet in the
South planters.

TURKS ASK MEDIATION.

The Turks have done their best TO
delay any definite conclusion being ar.
rived at in the peace conference in
London. They have resisted every
proposition for settlement of the
questions involved in the Balkan war,
and they resent every suggestion that
there should be a speedy settlement and
that they. are sparring merely for de-
lay. The Turkish hope that the Bal
kan allies may fall out among them
selves is carried in the dispatches. but
all Christendom must hope that this
dangerous Turkish desire may fail of
fulfillment
And now the Turks come ont in ia
vor of mediation by the powers II
this demand were acceded TO, it would
mean complete change of the char.
acter of the peace conference. This
conference has so far been simply an
effort to get at an understanding where
by terms OF peace could be ar
ranged. Mediation would mean the
stepping in Of the European powers. the
allies, the throwing of their claims to
the winds, and the taking up by the
chief powers OF Europe Of all the aues.

results Of the war which has been so
successfully waged by the Balkan al.

that the Balkan powers will agree 10
such radical change in the conference
for, as they justly claim, they are en-
titled to the fruits OF their victories
and they insist upon enjoying them.

the claims OF the Balkan allies that
they arc entitled to the relief from the
disrressfu conditions which the Turks
have imposed upon their fellow Chris
tiaus in Thrace aud Macedonia II is
impossible 10 deny tbat the results of
tho war, so far waged by the allies
are beneficial 10 Christianity and 10 the
world. They relieve monstrous load
OF cruel, barbarous oppression from the
necks of the Christians of what has

the Christian folk Of Macedonia and
the breaking of the Turkish yoke from

policy OF the Turkish delegates, and it
would not be at all surprising to see
them break OF the negotiations and
