ENJOYS OF PEACE
DECIDE TO STAY
AFEW MORE DAYS
Diplomats Hope Great Powers
Will Offer Terms Before
Night Comes.

LONDON. Jan. 13-Rechid Pasha,
chief Of the Turkish peace delegates, an
nounced today at the foreign office that
the Turks would remain in London un-
til Saturday, and he did not say they
would leave then. He said that the
Turks were remaining at the request
of Sir Edwadd Grey. secretary Of state
for foreign affairs.
The ENJOYS of the allies hkeewise
showed no disposition to quit London. as
some Of the pessimistic alarmists had
limited, and the ambassadorial conver-
sations were resumed at the foreign
office. The hope was expressed In dip
lomatic circles that before night IN
formal proposals by the great powers
would be presented to the plenipotentf-
aries on both sides that would result In
a resumption within day or two OF
the st. James Palace peace confer
ence.
1t was learned from semi-oficial
source today that Bulgaria had COM
pleted negotiations in London for
$2S 000, 900 loan. Alarmists declared that
this money would be used to carry on
renewed warfare against Turkey. while
the optimists said that the money un-
doubtedly was wanted to help Bulgaria
in recuperating from the war.

House Calls Halt
On Many More Probes

The House Committee on Rules has
Informally decided TO put the soft pedal
on additional Investigations or special
rules during the present session Of
Congress. Members OF the committee,
ii is learned today. take the view that
the House already has too much busi-
ness ahead of IL, and 1t is improbable
that the committee will make privileged
any legislation, unless a special rule Is
brought in to jam through appropria-
ton bills.
This informal decision means that the
Rules Committee will not order the can
merry investigation, nor will 1t report n
special order for the consideration of
the militia pay bill. Witnesses appeared
before the committee Saturday in be-
half of both of these propositions.
The militia pay bill cannot be reached
on the regular calendar without
special rule and the House Is now SO
busy that the Rules Committee is in
ciined to keep hands off. Similar views
are held regarding the proposed investi-
cation of canuery conditions in various
States. and particularly New York, as
testified to by Miss Mary Boyle O'Reil-
ly. "A half dozen investigations already
I'm progress are to be wound up before
the Rules Committee said today that
the cannery probe was unlikely.
But two appropriation bills have been
passed and the House must work long
hours hereafter in order to put through
the annual budgets by March 4. The
House met at II o'clock today. an hour
earlier than usual, to resume work on
the postoffice bill, and day and night
sessions must begin shortly.

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.
ALEXANDRIA. VA. Ian. 1S


After a rest from politics for the past
two months preparations for another
strenuous political compaign in Alex
andria have been commenced. ]. Fred
Birren, candidate for the Legislature
from Alexandria city and county, to
succeed Hon. Robinson Moncure, who
has announced that he will not be a
candidate for reelection, has commenc-
ed his canvass for that position. Mr..
Birrell was a candidate for the Legis-
lature four years ago and was defeated
by Mr.. Moncure.
Mr.. Birrill is the first candidate to
announce himself, although IL Is un-
derstood that he will be opposed by
one other candidate from Alexandria
city, and one from the county.
A primary will be held late in June
the same date as the gubernatorial pri-
mary. The two candidates for the office
of chief executive of the state are Hen
ry Stuart of the Ninth district. and
Harry St. George Tucker of the Tenth.
Both are popular in Alexandria, and
their friends have already commenced
their campaign here.
In addition all OF the city officials will
ccne up for election this year, and If
there is any opposition a primary will
in all probability be set at the same
time as the other election in June.
Among the officers whose terms will ex-
pire this year are Thomas w. Robinson,
ditor; John w. Waller, clerk of gas;
P. F. German, collector of taxes;
Charles II. Callahan, commissioner of
revenue; Newell s. Greenaway, clerk of
courts; Robert H. Cox. city sergeants

Express Company Head
Tells Employees to Be
Easy on Parcel Post

An indication of the attitude of the
express companies towards the parcel
post is contained in the following let
ter to agents sent out by James c..
Fargo. president of the National Ex-
pres Company, from New York city.
Other companies. which have offices in
Washington. are said to have sent out
similar instructions to their employees.
The letter reads as follows:
Through the fuller installation of
the Government parcel post on Janu-
airy 1, 1918, a new system, for which
there seems to be demand, has en-
tered the transportation field, afford ng
the prblic an additional service on
shipments of eleven pounds and less
which at no time in the past has this
company opposed nor will 1t in the
future This policy must be strictly
maintained by our officials and EN-
ployes by refraining from any atti-
tude unfriendly to or of criticism Of
the parcel post; devoting their time
and attention toward the continued de-
velopment of the efficiency of the
company's service to the public.
with its enormous resources and
vast commercial interests, this country
is large enough for both express COM
panies and the parcel post.

Amendment to Regulation Is
Certain to Boost Business,
Officials Declare.

An increase in parcel post business
as great il not greater. than the vol
ume that has been handled to date is
anticipated in the Postoffice Depart
ment as result of an amendment to
the parcel post regulation which will
permit the mailing in parcel post pack
ages of descriptive matter pertaining to
merchandise contained in the pack
ages. One concern in New York has
given notice of placing more than 2o,coo
packages daily in the mails under the
new arrangement. A bill to amend the

Parcel Post Figures
Show PubIic's Use
OF Newest Service

Detailed statistics from every post
office in the United States on the par
eel post business handled in the first
win show a total of approximately
1o, ,ooo, 900 packages This estimate is
based on figures for the first seven
days, from fifty of the biggest cities
Two million packages were handled the
first week in these cities, which handle
nearly 30 per cent of the average normal
mail of the United States.
This would leave a total of little
over 100000 for the entire country for
the first seven days, one of them 4
Sunday. and another holiday. This
leads to an estimate of 100000 for the
following eight days, a natural in

ing expected.

viii not come in on a false alarm, and
none need fear they will make mistake
A spider spinning its web is a sign of
fine days. If in the morning days ex-
cursion may be taken without fear of
summer costumes becoming spoiled by the

the whole of the night and the following
morning will be fine.
AS long as frogs remain yellow in colo-
nothing but fine weather may be expect

weather will shortly arrive. A good frog
barometer may be made by keeping two
of them in a large glass bowl filled with
Wa ter and furnished with small wooden
ladders. As long as the frogs keep at the
bottom OF the vessel sunny days will con-
tinue. but If they climb up to the top of
the ladder there is storm coming.

fairs that has been known through
out its history. Every important act
has been one centralizing power in
the federal government, and in the
executive branch of that government.
Tt seems that the notion of a bureau
government. which received such an
impetus with Roosevelt, and resulted
in the organization of the so-called
Progressive party, has taken hold of
the whole Democratic institution
The restoration by President Wilson
of the old custom of the speech
from the throne" is indicative of the
general trend of the present admins
tration to establish bureaus and com
missions, all under the control of the
executive department, and to mini
nize the power and Importance Of
the legislative establishment as one
of the coordinate branches of gov-
eminent This principle is common
to the present Democratic party and
to the Progressive party, and is thor
oughly revolutionary and out of har-
mony with the plans and purposes of
a free country. To oppose this prin-
ciple and to correct the imposition
about to be placed upon the people
of this country by the new tariff Law
will be the immediate duty of the
Republican party.
Conservation and Progress.
I shall urge that the Republican
party stand for the conservation of
