London, Jan. 14. Unless unfore seenTeyents should chahgp the current of affairs the Turkish-Balkan . war in the neat East will be resumed within a week, and Europe vdll witness the horrors of a Winter camDaign. The allies have firmly made ud their tmiiida to lake up arms a second time.x me Turks last week were threatening to leave London and let matters take whatever course thej might. Now the Balkan delegates are convinced the Turks are merely drifting without a fixed policy, ojid they have-decided to end the. seemingly fruitless debates and wire pulling and begin the battle anew where they left off more than a month ago. - v ; The Ottoman government, failed to convene the grand .council today and apparently has no intention, of meeting the allies' ultimatum concerning Adri anople.1 The allies do not believe In the efficacy of the note which the pow ers will present at Constantinople be cause it is couched in too mild terms and. simply advises Turkey to submit to the fate of war and abandon Ad rianople for fear of complications in other parts of the empire at .a time when Turkey could hot find moral or financial jsupport in Europe. The Turkish government knows that this means nothing, because, it is aware that . the powers will be unable to. agree on any coercive measures. Thus the presentation bjf t.he powers of the note,it is. pointed., out, might meanl rWff-!W; P&ims'.m . chapter in the already: wearisome -diplomatic parleyings and the shifting of the dis cussion from a debate between the belligerents, toone between - Turkey and the powers. . - The Balkan kingdoms, moreover, are anxious to obtain relief from the heavy burdens of t keeping their armies on a war footing Indefinitely. Wishing, ho wever,1o observe all the diplomatic courtesies, they have given the powers a reasonable time to agree ; on the note,, frame it and present it to Tur key. But. this once done, if Turkey fails to yield, they are determined to act. . ' - ' Their governments have agreed to call another sitting of the conference through Sir Edward Grey or Rechad pasha, who according to the rotation followed, would be toe next Presidine officer. They will then simnlv an nounce their decision definitely to break negotiations and . also thank England for the hospitality extended and the conditions of fair play under which , the discussions took place. immediately afterwards, Sofia. Bel grade and Cettinje will denounce the armistice and the Servian, Bulgarian and Motenegrfn commanders will no tify the Turkish headquarters that hos' tilltles. will be- resumed within 96 hours. The allies say It is easy to predict the course of events. After they have stormed Tchatalja." they oronhesv. Turkey will be ready to cede Adrian- bple, just as after; the Italians, landed in Tripoli she offered to make conces sions which previously she had stren uously refused, and as after the victo ries of the Balkan States she consent ed to grant reforms they had vainly asked for 34 years. ' After their second resort to arms, the Balkan delegatesassert their peace terms will be different from those Tur key is now. rejecting. Thsy declare that Bulgaria will not be satisfied with a frontier line from Rodesto to Mldia, but will draw it just Jbef ore. the gate of Constantinople and they suggest a war indemnity of $200,000,000 or more. The . diplomats consider the. outlook for Turkey as of-the gloomiest char acter. Kiamil Pasha s resignation as grand vizier may be the next develop ment. That would be likely to be fol lowed by anarchy. - The coun.try al ready 1 is hard pressed for money and the condition and spirit of the army are matters of doubt. - " ; Present Note, Thursday. Constantinople, Jan. 14. Presenta tion of the powers' note to the Porte has. been delayed, the German govern ment having made certain comments, necessitating the re-submission, of the note -4o -the ambassadorial conference at London. It is now thought that the note will hot be " presented before Thursday. , . v r CpNGRESS In BRIEF. v. Proceedings in House and Senate Told ' n, Paragraphs. Washington,. January 14.

AMERICAN Former Employe of : Standard Oil Co., Appears Before Campaign Fund . .. Investigating Committee. His Memory Bad. . Washington, Jan. 14. William !.m: Wi field, of Chicago, 'formerly, em ployed uy the Standard Oil . Company as as messenger, today told the Senate Cmpaigh Fund Investigating Commit! - tee how he and : another, em ploye - 'nm - ed Stump took frcni the desk of Jphn D. ArchboldC of the Standard Oil Com pany, twp letters and disposed of them for ?1,0C0 each: . ; " ' : He also told of selling a copy of a telegram.! for 1,CC0 and lending tv-p ; copy books of letters, for which $500 was paid. Of ' the amounts- received,! Winkfield said he received one-third. W3nkfield could not recall the con-" tents of the two letters or telegrams, to whom they were, addressed, or. the signatures atacbted. I He said the, let ters were taken in the Fall of 1904 and published in the New York American. Winkfield testified that in 1904 he was employed by the Standard Oil Company, in New York as a messenger and Stump, Jie saidj was employed as a file jelerk. The witness said that in the Fall of 1904, after reading in the. New York. American regarding- certain telegrams, sent to some one in Wash ington, he spoke to Stump and another office boy named Frank Morrill, em ployed in Mr. Archbold's office. "Morrill said he knew of a telegram and he said be would let us see it," 4 said Winkfield. "A;couple of days lat er he showed" it to us.. I made a" copy of it andput'it in the hands of Stump and he disposed of it. It came out in th4 paper on holiday." "Winkfield ' said that he did not re member what the telegram said and did not remember to whom it was ad dressed or whose j signature was at tached to it., . He then testified substantially as fol lows:- . I had nothing more to do with this until about four months later.. I went back to .the office for my keys and found Stump there-j-at Mr. Archbold's desk. He told me that the paper told him to get everything he could get his hands on. Stump j was at Mr. Arch bold's deskand had possession of some of Mr. Archbold's letters. I told him that he was going "further than I knew anything about. He said: 'You keep quiet and we'll fix you up." He was doing business with his brother-in-law then. " He got the letters and I saw the two' he- got and read them." "Do" you know the date of the let ters; whom they were addressed to, or the signatures?" interrupted Senator Clapp. j "No, I do not remember the date, nor do I remember the signature at tached. It may have been Quay or some one else. They were letters re ceived by Mr. Archbold." These two letters were the only things taken that day, according to Winkfield. Two days later, Winkfield said, a copy book was taken and was returned by Stump the following morning. . "We were asked if we could secure copies of" letters that had passed to and from Washington and had been told that we would be paid," continued Winkfield. 1" ' "Who told you this?" asked Senator Clapp. ? ' - , Wdnkfield replied; that he had left the matter of disposing of the letters, etc., to Stump. "What did yqu receive as your share?" asked Senator Clapp. . "I received less han $2,500' " TAFT'S ORDER NOT REVOKED. Amendment to PostofficeBill Turned .. ." Down in the House. Washington, Jan. 14. An attempt to revoke President Taf t's recent order placing fourth class postmasters un der the classified civil service and to remove from . classification assistant postmasters, and clerks in first and second class postoffices by an amend ment ta the gostoffice appropriation bill, failed in the House today. The bill, carrying $278,489,781, was passed. The amendment offered j by Repre sentative Cullop, of Indiana, provided for the revocation of th& executive or-. der, of October 15th, 1912,by which President Taft exempted some 30,000 fourth-class postaiasters from the "po litical job" class, 'and of the orderJep tember 30, 1910, which classified as sistant postmasters and postal clerks in first and second I class offices, was defeated on a roll call vote, 141 to 106.-K The Republicans voped practically sol id against :the , amendment . and they were joined xby many Democrats.

J, 'yl':' S P . Ker; of Sharon a;,. president of the Sharon Steel Hoop Company, advocated changes in the phraseology of the.; law to avoid importers taking advantage of its terms. Mr : Ker told of plans now under way by the United States Steel Corporation to , advance wages of its common laborers and ar tisans and mechanics on February 1st, by approximately 10 pep cent. Repre sentative ! Fordney, ,f Michigan, esti mated that this would mean an ad- vance of $17,500,000. 4 Mr. Ker expressed optimism of the future of the steel industry, regard less . of what action the Democratic administration might take. "He said the steel manufacturing industry was practically limitless in- this possibility and he urged protection against in- vasion from abroad. .He added, that if the industry was disturbed, the capi tal would remain and the companies would reduce labor to the point of meeting with 'the competition. R. E.: Jennings, representing the Carpenter Steel Company of Pennsyl vania, urging the 1 present tariff law, testified that the labor cost of pro duction in the crucible steel industry was about 40 to 50 ner cent of the to tal cost which he-..said; in response to Chairman Underwood, was much greater than in the Bessemer or open hearth steel business.
