Appoint Committee to Draft
Note to the Turkish
Delegates
POLICY OF ALLIES
is TO GAIN TIME
Two Distinct Views Held By Balkan
Delegates-Reason for Demand
of Adrianople and Aegean
Islands Set Forth

London January 2e.-The Balkan pleni-
potentiares, who have received full pow
ers from their respective governments,
ar pointed committee today to draft a
note to the Turkish plenlpotentiaries, ex-
planning why the peace conference must
row be considered broken off. 1t is
hoped the draft will be ready for APP
ioval by the full delegation Monday
hight.
This action of the allies is part Of
series of well considered forms of pressure
with which the Balkan delegates hope to
obtain their object without resuming the
war.
The meeting today lasted for an hour
and half, and the course to be followed
was given earnest consideration. Two
distinct views were manifested, one for
rhe immediate rupture of the negotiations,
leading to a resumption of the war, and
the other favoring temporizing policy,
in order to avoid irrevocable steps. The
latter course triumphed and a committe
was appointed. consisting of one member
from each delegation. as follows:
Michael Madjaroff, Bulgarian minister
Mt London; Prof. Georgios STREET., Greek
minister to Austria Hungary; Count Voy-
novitch, chief of King Nicholas cabinet
representing Montenegro, and DR.. M. r..
Nesnitch, Serviaa minister to France, with
the addition of NJ. Polits of the Greek
delegation, owing to his knowledge OF
French and his thorough acquaintance
with international law.
Arguments Set Forth
General lines were laid down on which
= Ia fe n had draf tad pnT
arguments already set forth many times
az to why the league demands the sur
render of Adrianople and the Aegean
islands as an indispensable condition to the
conclusion of peace.
That the policy of the allies is to gain
time Is patent, and does not deceive any
booy. The delegates decided that the adj
vantages to be derived from the resump-
ton of hostilities would be in proportion
In the risks they ran, and they would not
take that step unless absolutely forced 20
do so. 1t is realized that even partial
Icy erse would have grave moral and ma
1erial consequences apart from the loss OF
thousands of men.
In addition the fact is not overlooked
that there is danger of Rumania advance
1IiE from the reats and Of Austria imposing
on Servia and Montenegro her conditions
vantage in delaying decisive action is in
Keeping large armies inactive and on a
war footing for long time thus heavily
taxing both the financial and agricul-
tufal resources Of the countries.

Narrow Escape
When Horse Bolts

Mrs. Herrin, residing at 400 Fac
tory street, and lady friend with
three children were victims of an ac-
cident one day last week that might
have been fatal. They were looking
over the d. M. Lowe place across
Bear creek when a horse-driven to
light surrey by one of the Lowe
boys-refused to hold back on a
steep grade. At the bottom, on the
edge of Bear creek, the road curves
sharply away from the river. The
horse couldn't or wouldn't make the
turn and blundered through a narrow
strip of brush and over a ten-foot
bank into the creek. The driver
jumped out but the surrey with the
women and children was thrown
clear over the horses back into the
water among the rocks. The occu-
pants were badly bruised and the
baby was completely submerged in
water. Fortunately the women and
little ones were not pinned fast by
horse or rig
