Unexpected Concessions by the Ottoman Government Places Plenipotentiaries i'll Position of Not Know ing What to Do
SAY TT IS
 BUT GAME
Claim Turks Only Coded What They Had Already Lost and Are Unable to Reconquer Even With Powers Aid
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

LONDON. Jan. 2-The plenipoten- taries to the peace conference en- joyed d day of relaxation today. Even the meeting of the ambassadors to- day was purely academic, as all agreed yesterday that the advances by Turkey changed the situation to such an extent that they must await corresponding instructions from their respective governments.
 The Turks continue to declare their concessions surpassed any logical ex- pectation. but that now they cannot cede an inch more On the other hand, the allies with unanimous voice and compact front. maintain that they would rather end the conference than renounce what they claim is due them by the right of victories.
 That d game is being played on both sides is evident. The Turks emphasize the enormous importance of what they have ceded and which i'll reality is only what they have lost and what independently of the allies, not even the powers would allow them to reconquer. The allies on the other hand. belittle the Turk ish concessions and desire to definite Iy settle forever the differences with the ottoman empire.
 The real stup bling block is Adrian polls. compromise of the solution respecting the Aegean Islands is pos sibIe. Some suggest that Turkey cede them to the powers, which can decide their fate. It is recalled that such d course has been taken on ether occasions, presenting even more difficulties than the present. For in stance, in the war of 1866 between Italy and Austria, Austria although victorious was induced to cede the Venetian provinces to France, which transferred them to Italy.
 Supporters of this plan hint that Turkey might even cede the islands to the allies as practically has been done with Albania, on the condition that the powers pledge themselves to claim, as in the case of Albania the right to decide the status of the Aegean archipelago.
 The struggle now will be bitter be- tween the Turks and the allies. The former are threatening an appeal to the tribunal of Europe and the latter is threatening to resume war. It is expected, however. that relief from this situation, may result from meeting of the ambassadors to whose judgment probably both Turkey and the allies wilt submit. if they decide unanimously what the fate of the is lands must be.
 The powers are practically concern ed in this question because some of the islands, Samothrace, ImbeOs, Lemnos and Tenedos are of interna- tional importance, commanding the entrance to the Dardanelles. while Mitylene and Chios bar the entrance to the Gulf of smyrna The rest of the islands are still in the hands of Italy, which occupied them during the war with Turkey
 Ii the powers unanimously ask that Greece evacuate some of the islands already occupied it is believed that Greece will obey as she did at Aval- ona on the simple intimation Italy and as Seryia and Montenegro did on the Adriatic or are prepared to do, in order To please Austria

Sammy lay Drops a Hint.

Whatever faults Chatterer the Red
Squirrel may have, and they are many,
laziness is not one of them. No. Stree,
there is no laziness about Chatterer.
When he has work TO do he does it. and
he keeps at it until it is finished. Every
morning he got up with the sun and
raced along the old stone wall and the
rail fences down to Farmer Browns
cornfield, where he first ate his breakfast
and then worked to fill the hollow rail
of the fence which he had made into
storehouse 1t was hard work, because he
had to do Il great deal of hunting for the
corn, and it was exciting work, because
he had to keep his eyes and ears open
every minute to keep from furnishing a
dinner for some one else.
Redtail the Hawk, who had not yet
gone south, discovered him one morning,
and Chatterer had lodged behind a fence
post just in time. After that Redtall was
on hand every morning watching from
the top of a tree for Chatterer to grow
careless and get too far from shelter.
Then one morning Keddy Fox surprised
him at the edge of d heap of cornstaiks.
Chatterer had just time to wriggle his
way to the very middle of the heap. Red
dy had seen him, and he could smell
him. Very softly Reddy tptoed around
the pile of cornstalks to see IL Chatterer
had come out on the other side. Then
he came back TO where Chatterer had
gone in, and excitedly began to dig.
making the dry stalks fly right and left.
He made SO much noise that Chatterer
felt sure that he wouldn't hear him move.
and he didn't. BY the time Reddy had
worked his way to the middle Of the pile
Chatterer was safe in his storehouse In

under the cornstalks. run across to an
other pile, worked his way through this,
and so reached the fence.
After that Reddy Fox came every
morning. hoping to surprise Chatterer.
But Chatterer felt quite equal to fooling
Reddy and Redtail OF course they inter-
fered with his work, and were very
bothersome. but he wasn't afraid of them.
The one thing he did fear was that Shad-
ow the Weasel would hear where he was.
That thought bothered him a great deal.
One morning Sammy Jay just happened
along. He saw Reddy Fox creeping up
behind some bushes on the elge of the
cornfield, and at once Sammy began to
scream as he always does when he thinks
he can spoil Reddy's hunting. Reddy

even the most ardent advocates of noise
suppression, a reasonable cons deration
for the rights of others is good training
for every child.
Children can readily form the habit of
refraining from needless noise when
passing churches or other buildings in
which meetings are being held. as well
as private houses, especially when it is
known that some one is i'll. The advan-
tage they gain from having the noise
lessened around their school for their
benefit should help them to avoid making
noises which are apt to disturb other
people who need to have quiet.
