TURKS AGREE TO PEACE TERMS
WILL GIVE UP NEARLY ALL OF
EUROPEAN DOMINION.
Ask to Retain AdrianopIe and Terri.
tory Between It and Constant
nople-Agreement Forced.

London.-After their protracted dip
capitulated to the demands of the Bal
kan allies at the session of the peace
conference in st. James palace.
Through Rechad Pasha they agreed
to cede practically the whole of the
Ottoman empires European domin-
ions, except Adrianople and the ter
ritory between it and Constantinople,
to their victorious but additionally
despised neighbors.
The terms the Turkish delegates
presented to the conference as
counter proposal to the demands OF
the allies were:
First-The rectifcation of the
Turko-Bulgarian frontier by making
the boundary west of the line now
occupied by the troops of the allies
in the vilayet of Adrianople
Second-The question of the status
of Adrianople to be settled by Turkey
and Bulgaria direct.

der of European Turkey, including
Janina and Scutari, to the allies.
Fourth-The Albanian and Cretan
questions to be solved by the powers.
Fifth-The Aegean islands to re.
main Turkish
The announcement of these terms
was wrung from the Ottoman dele.
gates with the greatest difficulty.
They came only after Rechad Pasha
had reiterated Turkeys desire to
shift the responsibility for adjudicat-
ing all the vital questions to the pow
ers and the representatives of the al
lies had registered their unchange
able objections to such 4 course and
plainly had given the Turks to un'
derstand that the failure of the Otto
man delegates to embark upon serious
negotiations would mean a resump-
ton of hostilities in southeastern
Europe,

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works of Popular
Writer Unearthed in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admlrer.

1t is learned that number OF new
and relatively important manuscripts
OF Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer Of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result Of this research has been
the finding of an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famed crater of Savaii or the pit of
Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, blank
verse relation of well-known legend
of Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
Of effort.

NO LONGER SELECTS THE HAT
Hubby's First and Last, Experience at
Millinery Store, Was Alto
gether Too Costly.

Congressman Ralph w. Moss of In
diana did not care much for hat his
wife wore. He finally spoke about it.
Mrs. Moss admitted that it was plain,
and instead Of taking exceptions to
her husbands remark, invited him to
accompany her the next time she
bought hat.
Il can certainly pick out a better
one than that" said Mr.. Moss.
So they went to the store together,
Mrs. Moss said not a word as the
comely milliner displayed one beau
tiful bonnet after another. 1t was the
first time Mr.. Moss had ever been in
millinery store, but he appeared to
be at ease, and finally selected one of
the most joyful creations in the en-
tire stock. Mrs. Moss looked well in
it. She was pleased.
III take that" said the Hoosier
congressman. How much is it,
Forty dollars" said the pretty girl
without even a blink.
Mr.. Moss saw blue stars, but luck
lily had just come from the bank
and was able to produce that much
in cash. Now he lets Mrs. Moss buy
her own hats and he does not COM
plain about their being plain.-Judge.

tectives stood beside the chief execu-
tive.
Both before and after the gen
eral' reception the president received
the army and navy officers. diplomats
