POISON TAKEN FROM vAoclNEs.

A new method of preparing vac
cines is described in the Lancet by
Capt, David Thomson and Capt
David Lees, which, the writer's think,
may result in the complete mastery
of infectious diseases.
The discovery that has been made
is that a vaccine can be detoxicated.
with the discovery Of the 'detoxica-
ton (removal of the poisoa)," says
Doctor Thomson, 81 have been able
to inject without toxic symptoms
doses greater than was ever dared
before. with the result that a much
greater amount Of immunity is de-
yeloped."
Doctor Thomson believes that q
few doses of compound detoxieated

so and an armistice was signed be-
tween Bulgaria, Serbia and Montene-
gro on one side and Turkey on the
other on December 3.
Greece refused to sign any armistice
while Janlna. the Albanian capital, re-
mained in Turkish hands, and contin-
ued to attack that city. The powers
hurriedly got together in peace con-
ference In London. There was no
coming to terms with the Turk. and on
February 3, 1913. hostilities were re-
sumed. The Greeks captured Janina.
and the Bulgarians drove In the Tcha-
talia line. A Bulgarian and Serbian
army took Adrianople with the Turk
ish commander and 10000 prisoners.
Scutari In Albania was besieged by
Montenegrin and Serbian army. and
Greek men-of-war in the Adriatic were
cooperating with the troops.
Powers Could Not Agree.
The powers were frantic and could
not agree among themselves. But on
April 10, 1913. another armistice was
signed. and on May 30 the belligerents
signed mt London II treaty of peace
with Turkey. BY this treaty Turkey
surrendered to the. Balkan allies the
island of Crete and all territory on
the European mainland west of the
| Enos- Midia line. and left the ADJUST
ment of the Albanian frontiers ana the
| disposal of the Aegean islands to the
powers, which meant that Turkey gave
up all her European possessions ex-
| cept Constantinople and the country
Immediately back of it.
But the ink on the treaty was not
i, dry when the Balkan states began
to quarrel with each other over the
spoils.

Pact Wherein the Neutrality of Belgium Was Defined

what he considered the spread of
revolutionary spirit, called upon the
other powers to interfere and prom
ised contingent of G0,OO0 troops.
Prussia massed her troops on her west
ern frontier and France announced
that any movement of Prussian troops
into Belgium would be met by sim
liar movement on the part of the
French. A conference of the five great
powers was then sitting in London to
settle the question of Greece. France
proposed that the Belgian question be
submitted to the conference. The
Polish insurrection, which now broke
out, gave the Gar all he could attend
to Mt home, Austria was harassed by
the Italian question and Prussia was
fully occupied in guarding her eastern
frontiers. So England and France
were allowed to have their way, which
was the way of Belgian independence.
Failed to Settle Trouble.
The congress of London issued sew
eral protocols intended to settle mat
tiers but failed to do so. One STUN
bling block was Luxembourg, which Hol-
land refused to give up and Belgium
claimed; deputies from that duchy sit
ting in the new national assembly.
Prince Leopold Of Coburg was offered
the Belgian crown but refused to ac-
| cept it until matters were settled more
to the liking of the Belgians. The
Dutch refused to evacuate Belgium
and French army marched in, the
! Dutch retiring before 1t.
On November Is, 1881, the represen-
tatives of the great powers and Bel
gium signed the treaty of London. By
this instrument part of Luxembourg
was given to Holland and the rest left
In the Belgian hands professionally"

tinued to hold the duchy until 1885,
The province of Limburg was given to
Holland and the boundaries Of Belgium
established practically as they are to-
day. The king of the Belgians was
recognized and the neutrality Of the
kingdom solemnly guaranteed.
| The Gar would not ratify this
treaty, although his ENJOYS had signed
1t, until the next May, when he did 80.
But now King william of Holland
baked. He refused to evacuate Ant.
werp, which was besieged and taken
by the French thereupOn. 1t was not
until 1889 that King william decided
to accept fate. Having done SO he
abdicated and the Belgian question
was settled to reappear in a more
tragic form SO years later. :.

The treaty by which the present
kingdom of Belgium was created and
its neutrality guaranteed was signed
at London on November 10, 1881, by
the representatives of Austria, Prus-
sia, France, England and Russia. 1t

when they invaded Belgium In 1914,
but two-for this neutrality guaran-

affirmed by Germany mt the beginning

But the Belgians We're never content to

when the French revolution of 1880

The boundaries which those chrome
dlsturbers of the peace, the Balkan
states. had before the recent world
war were established to them by the
treaty of Bucharest signed at the
Roumaniun capital on August u, l9l3'
by representatives of the said states
and Greece. That treaty closed Two
wars, practically, one In which the bai-
kan states were united In fighting Iur-
key and one in which they were fight
ing among themselves. By 1910 the
Bulgar and Greek bands in Macedonia
which had been quite as likely to mas
sacre each other rs to massacre the
Turks, had got together for the pur-
pose of devoting all their EFFORTS
against the common enemy. linen
trouble broke out in Albania and the
Serbians sent their irregulars to help
the Albanans against the Turks.
1t was the same old story of the Bal
kans being "aflame" again. In March
of 1912 Greece, Bulgaria, Montenegro
and Serbia came to an understanding
agreeing to bury their mutual animosi-
ties temporarily and combine against
the Turk. ROumania stood aloOf. The
Gorte. alarmed, promised reforms in AL
banla and Macedonia. Turkey also an
nounced that she would hold army ma
neuvcrs near Adranople.
Began to "Diplomatize."
The great powers began to "diplo-
matize," to prevent war. Germany
and Austria declared that the status
quo In the Balkans must be main
tained, and Austria modified her
army. But the wild nations Of the
Balkans had got out of hand and
little Montenegro. on October 8, 1912,
declared war against Turkey. On Oc-
Issued joint declaration to the same
effect. A Bulgarian army of 100000
men occupied Mustapha Pasha on Oc-

days later was fought the sanguinary
battle of Lule Burgns, the chief battle
