The spokes man for the delegation said farmers objected to the present monetary sys tem because it led to undue spetnila- tion. A system of incorporated clear ing-houses was suggested. Farmers need long-term loan*, it was argued, in order that they may become owners instead of tenant*. To meet this need, the delegation pro posed that postal savings bank depos its be made available for loans on farm lands and otUlined a system of land banks to be operated separately from commercial banks.

The Moro position was strongly --defended by walls, bamboo entanglements and deep ditches. El Paso. Tex.

ALLIES EXPECT TO RESUME WAR Bombardment and Capture of Adrianople First Move. Young Turks Believe Resumption of War Absolutely Necessary No Fear of Result. Vienna — A dispatch from Sofia says: “In accordance with the de cision of the government, army head quarters have been ordered to termi nate the armistice.” London—The Balkan peace negotia tions, which reached a deadlock over the cession of Adrianople on January 6, finally were broken Thursday by a note which the plenipotentiaries of the Balkan allies presented to Rechad Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation. Notwithstanding this rupture, there still are optimists in the diplomatic world who hope a resumption of the war may yet be averted, either through fresh proposals that Turkey is report ed to be including in the note she will deliver to the powers, or through the fall of Adrianople before activities can be begun again at the Tchatalja lines. A majority of the Balkan delegates refuse to admit the likelihood of either contingency, believing that the life of the young Turk government depends upon the resumption of the war, even though the allies should be willing to postpone the conflict. They are of the opinion that the present failure of diplomacy, at the worst, only is an in terlude, however, for they will leave four representatives in London to un dertake the settlement anew. Rechad Pasha, after reviewing the note, said: “The consequences may be of the gravest nature. The responsibility lies not alone with the allies, but with the powers, who encouraged the Bal kan states and have shown no fairness toward Turkey, although before the war they had proclaimed solemnly the principle of the unchangeablity of the statu quo.” The plan of the allied governments, so far as the plenipotentiaries are in formed, is to concentrate their forces on Adrianople immediatley after the expiration of the prescribed four days, if the surrender of that fortress does not occur in the meantime. They be lieve that a few days’ bombardment by the big siege batteries which now surround Adrianople will bring about its capitulation. Six-Year Term Up in Senate. Washington, D. C.—Final action on the resolution for a six-year presiden tial term to be submitted as a consti tutional amendment to the states will be taken in the senate before adjourn ment. The Works resolution, which has been pending for several months, ha9 been made a special order of bus iness. It is believe«! the measure will have a strong majority in ite favor,. The proposez! amendment, if ratified by three-fourths of the states, would become effective after the end of President Wilson’s term. Educator Advise* Rod. HOUNDS TO SEE INAUGURAL Qualified M. F. H. Guarantees Be havior of Keen-Nosed Dogs. Washington, D. C.—Dogs of high degree are to participate in festivities attendant upon the induction into office of President Woodrow Wilson and will march in the inaugural parade. ‘ ‘ Finely-bred, splendidly-trained, keen-nosed fox hounds are going to have a section of the parade all their own,” says an announcement from the inaugural committee in heralding this menagerial feature of the coming pa geant. “The finest pack of hounds in all the world,” is the description given to the canine group, which Mr. Lester Jones, of Culpepper, Va., is assembling to lope ahead of a mounted brass band that will escort hunt club riders from the president-elect’s native state in the civil section of the parade. Dr. Jones declared the hounds would be so well trained that they would "stick to the middle of the road,” and not scat ter all over the line of march. A competent M. F. H. will serve as grand marshal to the canine corps. Indiana Corn I* Winner. Columbia, S.
