Balkan Allies suspend Negotlations-
May Be Resumed.
London, Jan. S.-The first stage of
the Balkan peace negotiations, which
is regarded by diplomats largely as
one of pretense on Turkeys part to
avoid the appearance of yielding to
the demands of the allies without
pressure from the powers, is over.
1t is expected the second stage soon
will begin, with the powers acting be-
hind the scenes, and pulling strings
that will compel Turkey to concede
the bulk of the allies demands. The
demands of Turkey was again re-
jected by the Balkan ENJOYS at the
tenth session of the peace conference.

would live strictly up to the Adamson
bill. He also reiterated what he said
upon his return from Panama, that he
found no friction between Colonel Cos

much impressed by il that she had in
duced her mother to take the rest of her
family.
This information brought down the
house. which would be contented with
nothing but that Cecil Spooner herself
should address them on the beauty of
the performance. This Miss Spooner did,
with such excellent effect that at the
psychological moment n wreath from the
Morris High School girls was presented
to her.
Most of the Objectionable features Of the
play were eliminated, and the story that
remained was too conventional. some
thought, to shock even the most prudish
Miss Spooner said she had received hun
dreds OF letters telling her the play could
do nothing but good. One, she said. was
from an eighteen-year-old girl, who de-
clared she had derived extraordinary ben

formance with request that the audience
write to the Mayor telling him OF the
worthiness Of the piece.
