LONDON', Dec. 2 1. Several or the
peace envoys are preparing to go
home to consult their governments

exorbitant demands of the allies have
not surprise il diplomats here, hut It
Is expected that they will "uu modi
fied. The Halkans demands are:
First 'Hip eissic.n hy Turkey of all

from a point east of ltodesto, on the
Sea of Matmoru, to a point in the liny
of Malatra, on the ltlaek Kea, and ex

powers.
Second - Tho cession of the A.1
ean Islands oeeupied hy the Gtvrk
forces in the present war and by. the
Italians In the recent war.
Third The cession to Greece of
tdl Turkish rights in the island of
Crete.
The allies did not reveal today the
financial proposals which they" will
make to Turkey, reserving them for
a future meeting.
It is officially learned that the
powers are quietly advising Turkey
to abandon Adrianople and accept the
principal terms of the allies. It Is
understood that the military element
of Young Turks at Constantinople
is urging renewal or the war.
lulled States .May Mediate.
If Ktiroiiean mediation Is Impos
sible or unsuccessful, other powers
may be appealed to, first of nil the
l'nitcd States'. It la rumored that
there is a possibility of asking media
tion by the Pope. It Is recalled that
Pope Leo. Mil. was entrusted by llis
marck with the settling of a dispute
between Germany and Spain over the
Caroline Islands. In case his holi
ness were the mediator, his action
would be entirely independent, as
none ot the belligerent a is a Catholic
power.
Albanian Autonomy Recognized.
The territorial profits of the war
which the allies will divide aro the
same as those published in the dis
patches of December 14, with the ex
centum of the nrangement the pow
ers made for Albania. The allies will
recognize the autonomy of Albania
under the suzerainty of the porte,
but not lis sovereignty. Albania will
become what Crete was and what
Egypt Is. i" I's relation to Turkey.
The Sultan will be the nominal ruler,
but without political, administrative
or military power. He will have the
right to raise his flag in Albania aud
appoint n resident governor, but on-'
ly for the purpose of ratifying the '
j decisions of the local government. j

" False Pub icalion
By a vote of five to one, the ordin
ance fixing a new schedule of city li
censes, or occupation tux, as previ
ously printed in original nnd revised
forms, passed the city council Mon
day night. The lone dissenting vote
was voiced by Councilman Strong,
who ohjected to the license of $150
a year fixed for drug stores soiling
wnisHy on pnystcinus prescriptions.
"I have my doubts about the le
gality of that license," Strong ex
plained, "it bespeaks for the city. It
appears to mo, a sanction of traffic
in an unlawful article. If 1 believed
for a moment that At would he legal
to impose such license I would favor
$r00 a year Just as quickly as I would
$150."
The councllmen voting in favor of
tho ordinance were Hamilton, Fuller
ton, Sclmeffer, Wright and Moore.
Under its provisions, a drug store
not dealing Is whisky is licensed at
$40 unless It also deals in building
materials, then it must pay $50 a

New Councilman KlocUd.
H. M. Bullwlnkle, a well known
citizen, was unanimously elected
councilman from the First Ward to
succeed Robert J. Farnsworth, re
signed. Hesidenta or that section or
the city petitioned to the council for
the appointment of Mr. Hull winkle.
Councilman Zurcher, who was abseifT,
was quoted as saying- that Mr. Bull
winkle "would not accept the office
undo any consideration." Kcconler
Wlmberly said Attorney John T.
Long, who filed the petition, gave the
positive assurance that Mr. Bull
winkle would accept.
"While we are acting on this mat
ter, I wish to make a statement."
said Mayor Micelll. "In one of the
local newspapers last week there ap
peared an account of an alleged In
terview with me, In which I was
quoted as intimating that I would
appoint a councilman to succeed Mr.
Karnsworth. (ienllemcn of tho coun
cil, that nrlic.le is absolutely raise. I
have never at any time thought of
taking unto myself such nrhitrary
authority, nor have I made any state
ment to the press or nnyouo else on
thin matter until now. You know as
well as I that the power of choosing
council men during Intor-olectlon
periods rests with the council as a
body, not with the Mayor. Tho false
hood in (hat newspaper Is ns absurd
as it is base. It Is merely another
of those deliberate lies for which Its
columns nre noted."
After the council meeting, the
Mayor said he had reference to an
article in tho Umpqua Valley News,
which said ho had "Intimated that
he would appoint former Councilman
S. E. Krohn to succeed Farnsworth." !MMMaMal4'4I4t!-4T !
