The delegates spent a quiet Sunday. Nothing transpired to show whether any serious difficulty is likely to arise over the attendance of the Greek dele gates. Concerning the Austro-Servlan controversy. the Balkan delegates think It the result of Austrian bluff.

"has tried to counterbalance the bad effect It has had at home by clamoring that Albania must be autonomous, according to the Austria-Italian agreement concluded in 1S07. Therefore neither Greece nor Servla can occupy the Albanian Adriatic coast, much less Servla, as Servla means Russia. According to the Balkan delegates. Austria's increased armaments and the moDinxation or ner army are aue less to the probability of declaring war against Servla than to the grave In ternal situation in the monarchy, the unrest in Hungary and the agitation among Servians, especially In Bosnia and nersegovins, wner, mose no.a- school aw Mlnlng the dutles of di ing positions under the Austrian gov- rector8 a cjaUBe the County Su- ernment openly have protested against perlntendent the power to declare va the attitude of the empire. cant the off)ce of any director who for Slavs Are TareatealBg. 60 days neglects or refuses to perform An additional cause for concern Is the duties Incumbent upon him, due the threatening attitude of the Slavs notice to be served on the director by throughout Austrlsn territory.

PRAIRIE CITY, Or.," Dec 15. (Spe cial.) W. W.

Thomas. The Union High school, located here. la made up of five school districts. Mr. Thomas, who was elected director rep resenting the Strawberry District, was. upon the organization or tne union High School board, chosen its presi dent. Shortly after the election of teachers for the new High School some question was raised as to the legal lty of the erection of the Union District, and Mr. Thomas, upon ad vice of his lawyer. refused to sign the warrants for the payment of the teachers.

MASON & HAMLIN HARDMAN C0N0VER PACKARD LUDWIG KINGSBURY HARRINGTON MILTON HENSEL - WELLINGTON THE ANGELUS I Quality "Vienna," the Balkan delegates con tinue, "has too many troubles at home to think seriously of war for which she Is not financially prepared, a fact proven by the loan recently contracted In the United States at rate of In terest higher than any other great power has paid In late years. "Besides. Germany, notwithstanding her alliance, has exercised an Influ ence tending to moderate Austrian ardor. "Admitting a coup d'etat on the part of Austria, we know that neither Ser vla nor any other Balkan state would be left alone, as Russia would come to their assistance, being today no more the Russia of the war with Japan, and Cannery Debt Being Raised indeed anxious to show what she can I do In Europe.

What the further outcome of the tangle may be. or whether the matter will be carried into court, depends on the view Mr.y Thomas and his district may take of the matter.

BANKERS ON GALL "Money Trust" Inquiry to Be Resumed This Week. ARCHIBALD CASE HASTENED from so doing- through the friendly in terventlon of King Edward. It will be retorted that Germany would support Austria against Russia, but in . this case Austria would be forced by the Russo-French alliance to attack Kranee. "This would mean a general conflagration.- which all have more Interest to prevent than to hasten and which will not be brought about for a rela tively Insignificant cause, such as al lowing Servla to have a Btrip of land along the southern frontier of Monte negro and a small stretch of coast on the Adriatic." No further development in the inter national situation is reported. Accord ing to a Vienna dispatch, nothing Is known of the statements circulated In Paris that Servla has protested to Austria against the Austrian military demonstrations. Flaaaelal Strata Heavy. The Vienna Relchspost in an article dealing with the crisis refers to the financial strain on Austro-Hungary. It estimates the expenditure on military preparation at J105.0P0.000 and the to tal losses to the dual monarchy In the last few years as a result of the re current Servian crisis as nearly $625. 000.000. This latter figure is under stood to cover the depreciation In prices of government securities. A Belgrade dispatch represents the Servian government as ready if neces sary to send delegates to Vienna for j friendly negotiations wun Austria on the basis of Albanian autonomy and a Servian port on the Adriatic, which Servla would engage not to transform Into a military port, while Austria would enjoy the right of preference in the matter of loans and public works, and the most-favored nation treatment. Balgartaa Orgaa Skeptical. The Belgrade newspapers say that, according to advice from the general staff, the Servian government has cre ated two new army divisions, to be stationed In the Kossovo and Vardar districts. In the newly-occupied terri tory. The Bulgarian government organ in Sofia, the Mir. professes to be skepti cal of a favorable settlement. It declares a majority of the members of the Sobranje, which assembled Sat urday, are discontented at the arrest of the Bulgarian army almost at the gatea of Constantinople. They want the government to interrupt the nego tiations, continue the war and dictate peace In the Turkish capital. In accordance with the terms of the armistice, provision trains for the Bul garian army are passing through the Adrlanople station with the permission of the Turks.

OLD AT 40 Some Youngjr at 65 Than Oth:rs Are at 40 Years So many people whom you meet about the time they reach 40 begin by saying "I can't do this, and I can't do that, because I'm getting old now," they begin to act old, feel old and they are older in appearance than many who are much more advanced in years. When you begin to feel old, when your energy begins to fall, build your self up with our delirious cod liver and iron tonic, Vlnol. It Js a wonderful blood-maker and strengthener. Mr. J. N. Kelley. aged 75. who lives at Lake Charles, La., says: "I took Vlnol for a run-down condition, it not only built up my strength, but I feel fifteen years younger than I did be fore taking It." Thousands of old people have found In Vlnol Just the medicine they need to build up the feeble, weakened sys tem and create strength. If It fails, wn return your money.
