Early Capitulation.

London, Jan. 30.-The peace necotia-
lions. which reached a deadlock over
the cession of Adrianople on January Il.
were finally broken yesterday by a note
which the plenipotcntiaries of the allied
Ralkan nations presented to Rechad
Pacha head Of the Turkish delegation.
II is still hoped, however. that a re-
sumption Of the war may be avcrted
either through fresh proposals that
Turkey is reported 10 be including in
the note which she will deliver to the
movers to-day or through the fall of
Adrianople before activities can be be-
gun again at the Tchataldjd lines.
4 majority of the Balkan delegates
refused to admit the likelihood of either
contingency, believing that the life of
the Young Turk government depends
upon the resumption Of the war even
though the allies were willing TO post
pone the conflict. They arc Of the
opinion that the present failure of
diplomacy is, at the worst. only an
interlude. however, for they will leave
four representatives in London 10
undertake the settlement anew.
The text of the note handed 10
Rechad Pacha is as follows:

The note. it will be Observed, does not

Rechad Pacha. after receiving the
note. said
The consequences NAV he Of the gravest
nature. The responsibility lies not alone
with the allies, but with the powers who
encouraged the Balkan States and have
shown no fairness toward Turkey. al
though before the war they hao sclemnly
proclaimed the principle of the unchanSe-
ability Of the status quo.
The plan of the allied governments,
50 far as the plenipotentiaries are in
formed. is to concentrate their forces
on Adrianople Immediately after the
expiration Of the prescribed four days.
They believe that a few days bonn
bardment by the big siege batteries

Allies Expect Victory.

The allies expect that a preliminary
treaty Of peace will he signed in
Adrianople by the victorious Bulgarian
and Servian generals. This will be en-
bodied in the treaty which will be con-
Guided in London. and for which each
delegation is leaving one representa-
tive in London to await the reopening
of the conference. The representatives,
will be:
For Bulgaria. Michael Madjoroff,
Minister in London.
For Greece, Stephanos Skoloudis,
who has relatives in England
For Montenegro. NJ. Popovich. for
merry Minister in Constantnople.
For Servia. DIR. NJ. r. Vesnich Min
lister TO France.
Most of the other delegates will leave
here before Monday. The Greek Pre-
mier. Eleutherios Venizeos, will visit
Vienna, Belgrade. Sofia and Salonica
on his homeward Journey. and this is
considered tangible proof that the al
lies are preserving that unity that as
tonished Europe at the beginning Of
the war.
The Balkan delegates reiterate that
the allies are agreed on all questions.

THE SPELLING CONTEST,

That Carroll county schools and
teachers have produced some expert
spoilers which can not be surpassed
IN any county of Maryland, is a fact
that no one will deny after the recent
contests, which have oecaslonSd 80
much interest all over the county.
It has been said TINT spelling II a
national weakness. and the public
schools have been accused OF neglect
IN properly teaching the art OF ortho=
graphy to their pupils. This may or
may not be generally the case through.
out the country. but 1t certainly II
not SO in Carroll county. and we may
well be proud Of the skill shown b.
our school boys and girls in this use
fuI art, especially a. no pupil above
the seventh grade vas permitted II
enter the competition. We congratn=
late the pupils Of the two districts
who won the medals offered by Super
intendent Moreloek. and we believe
that much permanent good will re
suit from the interest in spelling
which these contests have revived

MIR. GEORGE 4. PARKE.

The death of Mr.. George NJ. Parke
deprives this community of one of It's
best known and most valuable citi-
zens. The loss comes as a personal
one to those who knew him well and
we're accustomed TO his kindly greet
ings and affable disposition. In both
public and private life Mr.. Parke was
noted for his uprightness OF char
acter and responsive charity.
He had not been well for some time
but had made heroic fight against
disease and, In spite of his physical
condition, insisted upon performing
the duties OF his position.
Mr.. Parke was born in Westminster
and lived here all Of his life. He fill
ed many positions Of honor and trust.
For the past fifteen years he had been
secretary and treasurer of one OF our
leading financial institutions He was
q modest and unaasuming gentleman
and his impersonal kindness won for
him friends in every section OF the
county.
His life will serve rs a memorial Of
the value Of Christian living and con-
seientious performance of duty.

We know OF several bankers. each
spending from fifty to hundred thou
sand dollars year, who regard the
purchase of s1500-dollar automobile
by forehanded farmer as rank ex.
trayagance; but the bankers are IN
painful doubt as to whether Ave house
servants are an extravaganza for
themselves or only liberal-handed
prudence. And the farmer cheus
many a meditative straw before he
can make up his mind about the auto
mobile. II the banker had the MAX
ing up OF the farmers mind. and the
farmer of the bankers mind, there
would be no difficulty and both OF
them would save considerable money.
It is a troublesome question for a
man to decide for himself; but there
Is one every simple rule that anybody
can profitably stick to--namely.
spending money that you do not have
for anything you do not absolutely
need is extravagant. The rule Is Just
as sound, whether the purchase Is =
fiye-cent cigar or a fiye-hundred-dol-
lar fur coat. We are moved to this
reflection by a recent life insurance
report, which shows that in 1906 At
the time of the big investigation. life
insurance companies operating In the
State of New York had loaned to their
poliey-holders a little short OF two
hundred million dollars. while noS
the amount exceeds five hundred mil
lions. These loans on life-insuranee
policies are scarcely ever repaid and
are used for merely personal expenses
