London. Dec. 2S.-Both the Turks
and the Balkan allies are standing by
their guns on the peace terms. Both
declare that it is impossible to recede
from their positions.
The exchange of cipher dispatches
between the administration at Con.
stantinople and Rechad Pasha con-
%tinues, but the chief of the Turkish
plenipotentiaries declines to divulge
the nature of the reply he will present
to the allies Saturday when the con-
ference reassembles at st. James pal
ace.
Explains Turkish Attitude.
While | cannot discuss the reply
Of the Ottoman government" said
Rechad Pasha. nothing prevents me
from saying that the terms the allies
have proposed are simply absurd. They
have produced this impression wher-
eve heard, even outside of Turkish
circles. 1t was never known that aft
er the conclusion Of an armistice one
~belligerent party could ask the other
to concede territories brayely defend
ed and still resisting with heroism.
why should we do this. especially
when the Bulgarians had three re-
verses at our hands just before the
armistice, while the Greeks, who con
tinued TO fight, were defeated both on
land around Janina and at sea off the
D~ardanelleS?
Turkey was induced to accept an
armistice only on the advice of the
powers, in order to avoid useless car
mage on both sides. The same humani-
tartan circumstances led the Ottoman
government to ask for the r~evietualling
of the besieged towns, and might in
duce the government to yield certain
conditions for the sake Of peace. But
there is a limit which the allies have
far surpassed
Allies Contention.
The allies, or the other hand, assert
that the armiStice was arranged to
give Turkey an opportunity of making
peace terms without suffering further
losses in the field, and they character
ize Turkeys talk of keeping Adrian
ople, Janina and Scutari and regain
ing Saloniki as simply laughable. Gen
eral Danglias, the Greek chief of gen
eral staff. said:
Let them come and take Saloniki
if they can Even the dust of our an
cient heroes would rise up to defend
u rights"
The most optimistic of the Turkish
military party profess confidence that
the Bulgarians viii never be able to
force the Tchatalja lines, but, that, on
the contrary, with her present power
full army, Turkey will free Adrianople
in a fortnight, and adding that garri-
son to the main body. will take the
offensive toward %Philippopolis and
Salonika.
Servians Score Victory.
London.-A Durazzo dispatch to the
Times under date Of Dec. % says.
After four days of fighting in the
district between Bahia and Daitchi, 10
miles north of Aless:o, the Turks We're
driven out of the neutral zone on Fri
day. They lost several hundred kill
ed and wounded. while the Servian
casualties numbered 200.

Correct Words and How to Use Them
BY MRS. FRANK LEARNED.

II VERY intelligent person is always

careless habits Of speech have

Many persons who consider them
selves well educated make the mistake
Of using the partlciple got" In eonnec-

say Have you got the key?" who
has got my book?" instead of Have
you the key2" who has my book?"
Mistakes OF everyday occurrence are.
Who did you give II tor" who is this

ITO whom did you give it?" For whom
is this?"
Frequently one hears these errors In
grammar II intended to have bought
a pair of gloves" instead Of II intended
to buy pair Of gloves" 1T was no use
asking him. instead Of 1T was no use
to ask him." TRY and persuade her TO

1t would seem unnecessary to tell any
