ULTIIM SENT
BE ALLIES TB
TURKEY
Will Break Off Negotiations if
Satisfactory Reply Is Not
Received Tomorrow.
, , ,XD<iN. Dee. 18. —An ultimatum, io
. fleet that the peace plenipotentia
ri,.< of the Balkan allies will break off
, Igotlations tomorrow unless the Turks
present a satisfactory reply to the
propositions of the allied governments
v - issued today by Dr. S. Daneff, the
]. ding envoy of Bulgaria.
If the Turks do not wish to nego
,i with the Greek envoys,” said Dr.
lianeff. "we shall meet again on the
, hatal’ja lines, where the armistice
;.:, I( Hng all the belligerent governments
. s ept Greece was drawn up.
■ Furthermore, if Turkey s reply to
~u r representations tomorrow is unsat
isfactory, we shall break off the nego
tiations.”
It is understood that by a satisfacto
ry reply the envoys of the allies mean
a reply which will enable the delegates
to begin actual consideration of de
mands of both sides.
Communicating With Constantinople.
There was no session of the envoys
in st. James palace today, although
the delegates on both sides held con
ferences among themselves. Osman
X; zim Fi-liu. Turkish minister to Ger
many and head of the Ottoman dele
gation to the conference, has been in
constant -telegraphic communication
with Constantinople since yesterday
ft. rnoou on the question of including
Greek plenipotentiaries in the eon
ferent e.
tithough the sudden halt of the par-
I. \ by tile Turks gave a sinister outlook
to ' '■ peace situation, this was partly
issipated today by announcement that
ti e Porte'has sent Sir Richard Craw
ford. the British adviser to the Turk
ic government, to London to assist in
arranging the financial details of the
proposed treaty.
“Mediation Not Necessary.”
Gomra 1 Danglis. one of the Greek
envoys who was detained in the field,
arrived last night and today was clos
eted with Premier Venizelos. of Greece,
if the Greek peace delegates, for
i considerable period. Afterward Mr.
Venizelos said he did not believe it
v.oltlrp be necessary for the United
St ,tes or any other great power to me
“although the future could not
foreseen accurately.”
Sir Edward Grey, the English minis
of foreign affairs, and other high
officials of the foreign office are plain
•. oiried over the latest possibilities
in the present deadlock. The develop
ments here indicate that Turkey's do
mestic policies are largely responsible
for file hitch In the negotiations. After
the envoys were instructed to treat
vitli the Greek envoys by the Porte
these instructions were subsequently
withdrawn.

IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
PUT UNDER BAN

Sororities or other secret societies are
(denied public recognition in the public
schools of Montgomery and no student
who is a member of such an organiza

any sorority or other secret society that
may now or shall hereafter exist in
their schools all public recognition, in
cluding the privilege of holding meet
ings in the school buildings.
"Second. That such organizations are
hereby forbidden the use of the school

the establishment of a south side
branch. Because of lack of funds for

the many friends who have made gen

Carey, who has kept ns supplied with
flowers.
"To the board of trustees for their
confidence and support, and to each
member of the staff, I make grateful
acknowledgment of their untiring serv
ice in behalf of the library’s welfare
and growing usefulness.”

LOCKER CLUBSIN
GEGIDING BATTLE
Test of New Ordinance Before
Judge Pendleton—Fate of
Four Clubs at Stake.
Four Atlanta locker clubs—tUg Geor
gia Athletic. Southern, Bees, and
Knight sos the Mystic Ark —refused
permits by the city council, brought
their te.-t cases. attacking the validity
of the municipality's new club ordi
nance. to trial before Superior Judge
Pendleton at 1 oVlock today. Attor
neys for the clubs and City Attorney
Muyson said (hat new points were in
volved and the trial would not be con
cluded before tomorrow.
This action of the clubs is the third
phase of the tight to put the city’s suc
cessive locker club ordinances out of
business. The first ease, won in the
supreme court by the Union and Me
chanics club, killed the first ordinance.
The court declared the citv had no right
to tax a locker club under its charter.
The second case was won by the city
several days ago, when the supreme
court upheld Judge Pendleton in refus
ing to enjoin the city from proceeding
against the Georgia Athletic club.
Subsequent to these cases, the city
obtained a charter amendment granting
the municipality increased power and
giving the city the right to tax locker
clubs.
Attorneys for the four dissenting
clubs said today that they would pin
their case on grounds of discrimination,
maintaining that the city council show
ed rank favoritism in licensing some
clubs and denying permits to others.
Along this line they have asked the
court to require all the Atlanta council
men to answer a series of pertinent
questions, showing their relation with
various and sundry local clubs. '
The city attorney will tight the case
on the old lines of police regulation.
