TURKS MAY END CONFERENCE
Enact Provisions for Rights of Greeks in Its Territory.

London, June Tt was regarded as possible that the Balkan peace conference at St. James palace might be broken off if Turkey persisted in her stubborn demands. Since the preliminary peace pact was signed, week ago, the plenipotentiaries have been arranging minor details Turkey refuses absolutely to re-enact provi. sions for the rights which Greeks held in Turkish territory before the war. and at the same time the Ottoman delegates demand greater privileges for Turks in foreign territory.
 The Bulgarians and the Greeks also are at loggerheads over several points, and yesterday it was semi officially admitted that agreement looked long way off

INCOMING OFFICER CONFRONT.
 ED WITH DIFFICULTIES.
Summary of the Improvements Put Into Effect by the Post.
 masteSGeneral.

Washington, June Tn a state. ment just made public by the post office department, the work of Post master-General Burleson since he took office on March , is summar- lzed. It is asserted that the new post master-general found his office be- sieged by complaints attributed main ly to:
 Undue stress placed by the former administration of the department on economy at the hazard of iniurv to postal facilities which in some in- stances so impoverished the service as to make it necessary for the new administration to act quickly and drastically in order to save the in tegrity of the service and bring relief to the people.
 "The difficulties of the situation were intensified by the rapidly in. creasing volume of business brought by the parcel post which went into operation January l. 1913, and from the adjustments made necessary un der the eight-hour law"
 As soon as possible Postmaster Gen eral Burleson started work to rem. edy the situation There were many vacancies for postmastcrs. nearly all of which were filed Hundreds of pc. titions for rural free delivery routes were disposed of, and as a step to ward expediting the mails the post master-general ordered that the back stamping of mail be discontinued.
 Many of the changes which Mr Burleson has put into effect have tc do largely with the internal workings of the department. but their effect will be felt throughout the entire service. Among these are the con. solidation of the divisions of stamps and redemption, changes in parcel post stamps that will effect an econ omy of $50,000 year in the cost oi production and greatlY farH'tate their issue and handlinS ip h~ oyg ice and their use by the ..'';, 'hD ie. ! suance of new stamp l-c% to con [ tain two denominations of stamps. 1-cent and 2-cent, and new method Of distributing supplies to fourth class postoffices whereby they are sent in bulk to some central point in each state, whence they are redistrib. uted with no delay, and with a con siderable saving in transportation charges.

Thought He Liked Flatterv.

One of the wittiest occupants of the Judicial bench in England is Judge Rentoul. the North-country Irishman who presides at the famous court known as Old Bailey. The judge has just been telling another good story against himself. Once he went on political mission to Wales, to tell the voters what to do. He spoke first, and in English. All the subse- quent speakers, however, used Welsh as the medium of their thoughts. As matter of policy he applauded strongly whenever there was a clap among the audience, although he could not understand a single word that was said. 'I learned afterwards" said Judge Rentoul that every time applauded a speaker 1t was when he had paid strong personal compli- ment, either to myself or to my speech"

Despite this exposure. however
there is no doubt a constant manufar-

In some portion of the letter or along
