MAY RESUME WAR

London. Jan. 6.-When the Turk
fsh-Ba1kan peace conference ended,
late this afternoon. it was uncertain
whether or not negotiations had been
broken off One of the Turks said
that the delegates expected to meet
soon again but the meeting adjourned
without any future meeting being
agreed upon and the Balkan ENJOYS
said that they did not know.
The official announcement was that
the peace conference was suspended
and no definite date of it's resumption
was mentioned 1t was the opinion
in diplomatic circles that the Balkan
delegates would wait a few days be-
fore formally breaking off negotiations
in order to give Turkey time to think
it over and make further concessions
or perhaps to allow the great powers
to step in and mediate.

Swina of the Pendulum,

For century the American people
made a god of success If a man had
made his way in the world-particu-
larry if he had made money--that was
taken as prima facie evidence that he
was person to be looked up TO. Re-
yersely, if failure had been his portion,
no matter under how many handicaps
he may nave labored. he was by com
mon consent regarded as a man UNI
worthy of serious. eonsidera ton. Hay-
ing carried this sort of thing to an en-
irene, it was inevitable that sooner CT
later a reaction would come, perhaps
to carry us to an equally ridiculous
extreme in the other direction.
This reaction is now with Us. Today
we are bent on the great task Of max
ing a god Of failure. If man has
worked hard and saved money until
he owns business, or a house, or 4
few shares of stock, that is now taken
as fair evidence of the general mean
ness of his character. Corresrondingly,
the man who has made failure in
life, whether through accident, misfor-
tune or downright shiftlessness. is now
regarded by many emotional and well
meaning persons as having "A monopoly
of all the virtues Times
