Turkey Appeals
To Great Powers

London, Dec. 30. The peace
conference between delegates of
the Balkan states and the Turk
ish empire assembled this after
noon for it's seventh session.
The Turkish plenipotentiary,
Recbad Pasha, proposed that the
conference submit most of the
matters contained in the counter
proposals to the mediation Of the
great powers. The delegates Of
the allies were rather aghast at
the suddenness and infornality
with which such an independent
proposition was introduced, and
objected.
The Turks retorted that if
greater formality were required
it would be necessary to adjourn,
so the delegates separated until
Wednesday.
DR.. Daneff said after the adj
journment;; "wednesday will
give us more definite information
on one point. We are determin-
ed that we will not negotiate fur
Their until the question of Adria-
nople has been settled.
We are going to have Adrian
ople. Otherwise the negotia-
tons will be broken off. I am
inclined to believe the Turks will
give way"

ANTONIO WAS LONELY.

Everything was new TO little Antonio
and ii was sometimes pretty lonely for
him, too. for he never cared to play with
the other children on deck. as they quar-
relied too much for him. He was a quiet
little chap, and longed for peace. Many
a time did he stand by the railing gazing
pensively down into that neyer-ending,
cold, cruel sea, so changeable, so beauu-
full. Yet often it would seem to be mock
ing him. Then Antonio's big black eyes
would sparkle and he would say to him
self:
Just wait till ! am big, for / mean
to be a man some day.
To Antonio's parents the journey
brought many experiences. They kept
mostly together. getting only snatches Of
the gossip which spreads so rapidly.
They heard there was a famous speaker
on board. also two renowned actresses.
and the little golden-haired grille Who
sometimes threw oranges down to An
tonic was an heress.
One day Antonio was gazing into the
ocean thinking OF that dear goiden-haired
grille, and how. when he grew 10 he

sweet little girl As he was thinking
thus, he heard a noise overhead. Look
