Communicating With Constantinople.
There "as no session of the envoys
in St. James paiaee today, although
th,, on both sides held con
ferences among themselves. Osman
Xnzim Pasha. Turkish minister to Ger
many tnd head of the Ottoman dele
satim’. to the conference, has been in
constant telegraphic communication
w j t p Constantinople since yesterday
afternoon on the question of including
th,. Greek plenipotentiaries in the con
ference.
Although the sudden halt of the par
1, > t.y the Turks gave a. sinister outlook
the peace situation, this was partly
dissipated today by announcement that
the Porte has sent Sir Richard Craw
ford. the British adviser to the Turk
ish government, to I.ondon to assist in
arranging the financial details of the
proposed treaty.
•'Mediation Not Necessary.”
General Danglis, one of the Greek
envoys who was detained in the field,
arrived last night and today was clos
eted "hit Premier Venizelos, of Greece,
leaflet ts the Greek peace delegates, for
a considerable period. Afterward Mr.
Venizelos said he did not believe it
' would be necessary for the United
Stites or any other great power to me
diate. ’although the future could not
be foreseen accurately.”
Sir Edward Grey, the English minis
ter of foreign affairs, and other high
officials of the foreign office are plain
ly worried over the latest possibilities
in the present deadlock. The develop
ments here indicate that Turkey's do
mestic policies are largely responsible
for the hitch In the negotiations. After
the envoys were instructed to treat
with the Greek envoys by the Porte
these instructions were subsequently
withdrawn.

“To the board of trustees for their
confidence and support, and to each
member of the staff. 1 make grateful
acknowledgment of their untiring serv
