London, Dec. 29.--Kotwithstanding apparently insurmountable " difficul ties attending the successful issue of the peace conference the,- prospects tomgnt look orignter, more because cf the changing atmosphere of the conference -than oil ' account of any new facts. In the first, place, it is stated on .good authority that the murrow -modified terms heter calcu lated, to: afford a basis for negotia tions, and, in the second place, the Allies appear more anxious to come to resl business, if it at all possible. They have occupied the week-end in exchanging long cipher telegrams with their respective governments in order fully to be informed on all points and in complete agrement. They seem to be nervously apprehen sive that they will be deprived of the fruits of their nctones by European intervention. One of the delegates said tonight: "It is difficult to say whether our struggle will be harder against Mus sulman oppression or against Europe an intervention, which already sever- sl times has prevented us from shak ing off the Ottoman yoke. Although our armies have victoriously reached Tchatalja, Europe might wish to re turn Adrianople to the Moslems, for getting or ignoring what that would mean for. the Christian, population. But we know -the value of the so- called European guarantees for Turk ish reforms and this time we will not give in. v -v. -. .

Rose and produc ed by the well known theatrical man agers, Messrs. Ed. W. Rowland and Edwin Clifford. The play deals with conditions in the American borne of today. To prove this a typical American family is shown.. A young wife, a devoted husband, their friends and all the beautiful surroundings tha wealth ran secure. Discord enters their home, no one knows whence it came, but it grows into suspicion and doubt; the house hold is rent and happiness is gone. Then rises the other power, a higher spiritual note which brings the dis cordant souls of the family back to peace and happiness. In some homes the cause has only just begun; in others misery and sor row are always at the door. Senator Overman Improves. Salisbury, Dec. 29.
