answer. the allies will carry out their
plan already announced and ask for
the convocation of the conference, at
which they will officially break off
negotiations. Then will come denunci-
alton of the armistice. If Turkey offers
a new proposal, the Bulgarian delega-
tion having precise instructions, will
insist on It's claim for Adrianople but
will refer the matter to Sofia for con-
sideration.
The Greek, Servian and Montenegrin
delegations have notified Daneff that Bull
garia will have their full support in what
ever course it decides to follow, but they
will leave to Bulgaria, which is most
directly interested in this issue, full lib
erty to make the final decision.
Bulgarians here consider it impossible
that their country will renounce Adrian
ople and be satisfied to see it's fortifica-
tions razed, especially now that the pow
ers, in their official note to the porte
have recognized the allies right to it's
possession.
At a meeting today the ambassadors
discussed the situation without appar-
emily coming to any further conclusion.
They considered particularly the ques-
tions of the Aegean Islands, the Albanian
frontiers and the Ottoman public debt
but in general manner and without any
attempt to approach a solution.

New York, January 15.-Taking Of
testimony in the suit of the govern
ment against the moving picture trust
for alleged violation of the sherman
act was today begun here. Henry \.
Marvin, vice president of the Biograph
company, one of the defendant con-
Germs which are alleged to have formed
a combination to control the motion
picture business, testified that in 1903
several factions of the industry were
at war with one another. This led to
the organization of the motion pie
ture patents company after series OF
suits. The purpose of organization, he
said, was not to stifle competition but
to placate legal troubles arising over
patent disputes. Two agreements were
entered into between the patents COM
pany and its constituent concerns, he
declared, one whereby each company
assigned its patents to the patents
company the other by which the pat
ents company licensed to the others the
patents by which 1t controlled.
Marvin admitted that the Motion

Nationalists Are Duped
"The greatest dupes will be the ma

is making Ireland a nation and the peo-

Mr. Balfour criticised the financial
scheme of the bill on the ground that
it gave Ireland rights too great for the
fiscal interests of the United Kingdom,
but too small to satisfy anyone with the
most meagre notions of the powers owing
to nationality.
He predicted endless friction between
the exchequers of the two countries.
Promoters of the bill, he said, evidently
were nervous lest Ireland should have
the fun liberty given TO other of the
nations dominions to regulate their own
fiscal and industrial interests.

No Naval Demonstration

Berlin, January 15.-The question of the
naval demonstration by the fleets of the
European powers against Turkey was
shelved. according to official reports here,
prior to the attempts of the foreign am
bassadors in London to formulate a joint
note to be delivered to the Turkish gov
ernment. The reason for its shelving
was that several of the great powers. in
cluding some of those not belonging to
the triple alliance, had declared against
such a demonstration.
A sharp denial was given today to
the assertion which has appeared in the
foreign press that the delay which oc-
CURED in the handling of the joint note
of the powers to Turkey was due to
Germany, which, it was alleged. alone
had pronounced against a collective naval
demonstration before Constantinople.
