4 TT WAS Christmas morning
Old Hiram Palmer sat by
* the window waiting for the
- postman. Christmas eve
had been rather bleak. He
mad seen, from the window, groups Of
people passing from time to time, hur-
rying. smiling such gay, happy peo-
pie.
Hiram was old, too old. He had
outlived his friends, his immediate
family, his day had long since gone
by. He had given generously to hos
pitfalls and charitable institutions and
number Of personal presents. He
always, for example, sent some Of the
large baskets Of fruit the towns lead
ing shop arranged so attractively, to
those he knew would never buy them
selves such delicacies.
The last Christmas he had only re-
celved two presents. One from his
nephew out West and another from
a grandchild.
He was waiting for these now.
The postman came along the street.
Eagerly old Hiram waited. And then

of Mrs. Korngold, who had been out
less than half an hour Returning
to the Market street entrance. Mrs.
Korngold heard the barking of the
dog. which had been left fastened
in the bath room. She hurried up
the steps, saw her door standing
open. and heard one or more per-
sons run down the back stairway.
She ran to the steps, suspecting
trouble. but the thieves had escaped
into Shipley street before her arrival
at the top of the steps.
In their hurry the thieves over
looked a considerable sum Of money
in a sideboard.
1t is thought the thieves worked
on the third floor first. Here they
ransacked the apartment of Arthur

side down on the floor, and getting

property of Mrs. Powell, and s12 in

The apartment Of II. NJ Chase was

volved in the fighting. Greece wants
more land to the north Bulgaria
wants to reclaim some Of the terri
tory lost in the war. and Serbia
wants to retain her newly-won
lands
Latest advices received here show
ed the situation especially critical in
Macedonia and Albania. whose prob
lens were not solved by the treaties
of St. German and Sevres.
Reports showed that large bands
OF comitajis Grregulars) have been
recruited throughout the Balkans.
almost every portion of the war-torn
region having contributed it's share
of fighting men. The governments
back Of them either are arming to
protest their legitimate interests or
are preparing to back the comitajis
from their own country in an effort
to extend their boundaries.
Omcials here feared that before
the Allies Supreme Council or the
League OF Nations can intervene
the comitajis will clash with regu-
lar military forces and start the
conflict which may embroil not only
the Balkans but spread through
Europe.
The danger in Albania is due to
the fact that the Greeks have occu-
pied strategic points commanding
the two most important Albanian
cities Koritza and Argirocastro,
while the Serbians are holding the
river Drin in northeastern Albania.
The Albaniaps. although intending
no offensive themselves, are mobil-
izing to prevent further occupation.
The most serious phase of the
situation is believed TO be that re-
sulting from the Greeks conquest.
They claim Koritsa and Argirocastro
because of alleged Allied promises
| to former Premier Venizelos for
! Greece's services to the entente.
| Because of the ppverses they have
suffered In their offensive against ,hc
Turks in Asia Minor The Greeks are
extremely anxious to annex the two
/ cities and thus re-establsh King
Constantine's prestige. The Alban-
ians are determined to resist this
effort
In Northeastern Albania, the Serb
ian comitajis continue their raids
There is a similarly critical situa-
| tion in Serbian Macedonia where
Bulgarians comitajls and others
have been encroaching on foreign
| territory.
The Serbians are recruiting a
force OF 1000 gendarmes from the
navy to reinforce the frontier points
and Offering them special rewards
for defeating the raiders. The Serb
ian press asserts that Sofia, despite
claims OF lack OF responsibility. is
sending money and munitions to the
comitajis.
No Intervention is desired b,
Serbia, which feels capable of hand
ling its traditional army.
The Albanians have appealed q
the League Of Nations. which vii
take the matter up June II. STAN
boulski has asked the Allies TO in
vestigate. But expert observers feai
a major outbreak before these in.
vestigations can be made.
