MRS. HAMLIN's LECTURE.
"The Fall of the Balkan States" Sub
ject Tuesday Afternoon.

I'm February, 1912, the Balkan states
formed a federation, their first feder-
ation since they became states, and
their reason for doing this was for the
protection of Macedonia said Mrs.
Morrill, Hamlin in opening hre address
Tuesday afternoon in Library hall, on
THE Fall of the Balkan States" And
Mrs. Hamlin then told her audience of
ladies of the terrors of the war, Of
the suerings of the people, and of the
great gains in power and territory
made by the conquering powers.
She spoke of the demand made by
Greece, Bulgaria and Servia, asking
the Turks to withdraw from Macedo-
MIA, and of the beginning of the war
in October, 1912. (which Of all these
states was the first to commence this
waro" asked Mrs. Hamlin, and an
svering her own question, she said
that Montenegro, one of the smallest
of the states, was the first to make a
move. 1.-THE allies acting together unit
ed against Greece and on Dec. 8 they
ha6 driven Turkey so far that that
country was obliged to ask the Eu-
ropean powers for help
The treaty in London made by the
six great powers was then referred to
by Mrs. Hamlin, and she showed that
because Turkey would not do as these
powers desired the war was continued
By messing their warships the powers
compelled King Nicholas to abandon
his fortress at Scutari," she said. and
she spoke of the great blow which this
meant to the King. The terms of the
next treaty with Turkey were then
explained by Mrs Hamlin and her au-
dience was intensely interested.
The second Balkan war was then
vividly described. She mentioned the
great losses which Bulgaria had sus-
tanned, the men killed numbering 90,
600 and the money lost exceeding $780,
000, eco THE Bulgarians then entered
into another fight with Greece and
Seryia." she continued, 'and while
they were thus fighting to the south,
Roumania slipped in and took part
of Bulgaria, which she demanded be-
cause Bulgaria was in such a help
less position. And Turkey then took
her share of Bulgaria"
Mrs. Hamlin then answered a num-
Der Of questions, making the subject
quite clear to the members of her au-
dienoe. Her talk, clear yet concise,
held the attention of the ladies every
moment and was greatly appreciated

MARCONI SCANDAL
IN PARLIAMENT OF
ENGLAND REVIVED.

London, Feb. 1.-THE recent par
liamentary scandal in connection with
the purchase of Marconi shares by
members of the British cabinet was
revived today in the House Of Lords
together with the whole question of
the secrecy of party funds and the
purchase of titles of nobility.
Lord Murray of Elibank, who a short
time, ago returned from Central Amer
lea where heh ad acted as the agent
for the projects of Lord Cowdray,
made his first appearance in the up
per House, where he gave statement
of his dealings in American Marconi
shares before he was ennobled and
while he was the chief Liberal whip
in the House of Commons.
He said that when he had purchased
the American Marconi shares he was
convinced that the American company
had nothing to do with the British
government contracts and was distinct
from the English Marconi Co. Look
ing back now, ne said. he thought that
it never occurred to him that his ac-
ton would be open to criticism. He
concluded:
l. deeply regret lHdt ulu Iiot SiNS
the matter more consideration and
view it from all possible aspects. 1t
was an error of judgment and not Of
intention"
Lord Murray shared in the specula-
tions in Marconi shares made by God
frey c. Isaacs, managing director OF
the Marconi Co. and David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer.
The books of the defaulting stock
broker Charles E. Fenner, who was
recently arrested in Paris, showed
that Lord Murray Of Elibank had also
invested $4,000 of the Liberal party
funds in Marconi shares and 100000
in an English railway when the gov
ernment was about to settle the rail-
way strike in 1911, which action great
ly increased their value.
The newspapers at the time pointed
out the coincidence of the possession
by Lord Murray of large party funds
for investment at the coronation sea-
son, when the King was giving away
MANY honors They demanded that the
House Of Lords put itself on record
against the system Of the purchase OF
titles by party subscriptions.
