London, May 29. It Is practically
certain the . treaty of peace between
the Balkan allies and Turkey Is to be
signed at the British foreign office by
the peace delegates of the various
states concerned tomorrow. Bulgaria
and Turkey have both definitely de
ckled to sign the document in defer
ence to the wiBhes of Sir Edward
Grey, British foreign secretury, and
there is little doubt that Servia,
Greece and Montenegro will do like
wise. Greece and Servia desire to add a
protocol to the treaty as drafted by
the European powers, dealing with the
question of amnesty and the conven
tions to be negotiated after peace

streets walled on each side with cheer
ing thousands. , 5 Standards borne by
cavalrymen almost encountered over

" Nearly a thousand of the . gray-'
. haired veterans were, mounted bn the

Oglethorpe officials, and offering an
other jnute testimonial of the burial
of the bitterness which characterized
the war between the states.
lundreds of applauding spectators
who witnessedthe impressive .. sight

memories it aroused. .. ' ;
":- No division appeared in a semblance
of its entirety.'' , Only1' a few staunch
survivors were left of the more than
six hundred thousand soldiers who
represented the confederacy In the
fiercest struggle of modern times.

his muff, until the last detachment
of 'veterans paused, the firmament was

by the Eleventh, cavalry band, the
nurvlvors of. the trans-Mississippi de
partment, the department of Northern
Virginia, the department of Tennessee,
Forrest's cavalry corps and' 1000 !
mounted veterans. , Interspersed
among the different commands were
the sponsors of the divisions of the
confederate veterans, in each instance
followed by aged soldiers riding in
automobiles. The Richmond howits

pany ., Alabama National guards,
and two companies of Tennessee mil

to the-veterans.
Many Korvied to Fall Out.
The ranks of the veterans riding In
automobiles were swelled from time
to time by those who had believed
themselves equal to marching in the
'parade, but who were unable to stand
the trying ordeal. Many of these stag
gered along bravely attempting to
maintain step with their more vigor
ous comrades.' ' i -
When they were forced to fall out,
ready hands were extended by the vet
erans in the automobiles and amid
renewed cheers from the spectators
they were hauled aboard to continue
the march under less trying condl-

Unique Paper Read . Before
Nurses Other Interest

One of the most interestii.ir features
of this morning's session of the North
Carolina State Nurses' association was j
the presentation of a paper on "Rural
Nursing", by Miss Lydia Holmes, R. N.,!
of Altapass. The paper was alto
gether unique and called for consid
erable discussion among the dele
gates present. Ideas were presented
and avenues of thought opened that
were entirely new to many of those
present, and much appreciation for
the paper was expressed.
There were several other papers
that proved of much Interest to the
nurses attending the meeting.- "Eu

A. L. Alexander of Charlotte; Miss
Lillian Toomer spoke on "An Interest-

that view, ' ' '
Chairman Simmons also took up
with the president questions of equal
ization of duties on raw materials and
manufactured products, among them
wheat, flour . and pig iron. Mr. Sim- ,
mons declined to discuss the presi
dent's views on those points, saying
no decision had been reached, but that
he bad sought Mr. Wilson's ideas and
would- transmit them to members of ,
the finance Committee.
Mr. Cmlerwoml's Attitude.
Chairman . Underwood when asked
about the ' probable , action, 'of , the
house should the tariff bill come back
'v-itrr n amendment-t-ehrulnete the :
five per cent clause, said that permn- .
ally he favored retention of the pro
vision as one of the ways of building
up a merchant marine. j
"I believe In discrimination In favor
of American ships." said he. "Foreign
nations discriminate In favor of their
own ships and I do not Bee why we
should not."
Mr. Underwood did not Indicate,
however, whether there would be any
effort to retain the provision If the
administration raised strong objec
tion. Senators on the sub-committees of
the finance working on the cotton
schedule of the Underwood bill are
said to be ready to recommend some
Increases in the house rates. More

ltlcal writer for a New York news
paper, testified.
' "As Washington correspondent," he

him usually alone, sometimes in the
morning and sometimes in the after
noon, usually In his office, but some
times when. In order to lose not i

I never detected the odor of liquor on
