with the franchise bill David Lloyd
George, chancellor the exchequer, re-
ceived deputation of twenty suffra-
gettes In the treasury Office.
The women were selected from

from all England. Lloyd-George heard

phatically that Sir Edward Grey, for
eign minister, or any other member OF

for women be lost or become a law.
Fishwomen, laundress, a boot
worker, a pitworker, a shopgirl, sew

DOUBT ABOUT SCUTAR!

King Nicholas of Montenegro Insists
He Must Enter City at Head OF
His Forces, but No official Decision
Has Been Reached in the Matter.
London, Jan 24-The immediate
consequences of the decision of the
Turkish grand council to conclude
peace with the Balkan allies will be
the cessation of hostilities between
Greece and Turkey and the surrender
of the Turkish fortresses of Adriano-
pie, Janina and Scutari At all these
fortresses the Turkish garrisons will
withdraw with the honors of war
Difficulties may arise concerning
the fate of Scutari, as no one knows
to whom it is to be surrendered,
whether TO the Montenegrins, to
provisional Albanian government or
to the representatives of the powers.
King Nicholas of Montenegro in.
sists that he must enter Scutari at
the head of his troops. Otherwise
he says the reign of his family in
Montenegro Is doomed, as he, con-
trary to the advice of his generals,
refused to try to take Scutari by
storm at the beginning of the war in
order to avoid the certain heavy
losses which his small army would
have suffered. He preferred the tenn
porizing policy of laying siege to the
fortress, and should Scutari for this
reason be lost to the Montenegrins he
alone will be considered responsible,
All fears of a resumption of the
war having been removed the allies
are now planning the withdrawal OF
large bodies of troops at an early
date. The delegates in London, how.
ever, think that a month may pass
before the final signatures are put to
the peace treaty, as the settlement
of exact frontiers, the questions OF
indemnity and the guarantees in re-
gard TO the mosques and sacred
places of Adrianople still have to be
arranged.
