I
Will Break Off Negotiations if
Satisfactory Reply Is Not
Received Tomorrow.
l,i iNDON. Dee. 18. —An ultimatum, to
t?./effect that the peace plenlpotentia
rj’S of the Balkan allies will break off
■ . notlations tomorrow unless the Turks
present a satisfactory reply to the
propositions of the allied governments
.a.is issued today by Dr. S. Daneft, the
I. ding envoy of Bulgaria.
If the Turks do not wish to nego
tiate with the Greek envoys.” said Dr.
lianeff, "we shall meet again on the
Chatalja lines, where the armistice
binding all the belligerent governments
, \.’ept Greece was drawn up.
Furthermore, if Turkey's reply to
~u r representations tomorrow is unsat
i-iaetory, we shall break off the nego
tiations.”
It is understood that by a satisfacto
ry- reply the envoys of the allies mean
a eply which will enable the delegates
(o begin actual consideration of de
mands of both sides.
Communicating With Constantinople.
There was no session of the envoys
i, st. James palace today, although
the dehgates on both sides held con
s. , i.ces among themselves. Osman
\.,zim Pi- ta. Turkish minister to Ger
ni.-mj and Lead of the Ottoman dele
gation to the conference, has been in
constant telegraphic communication
~ pConstantinople since yesterday
ft. moon on the question of including
tli.. Gir' k plenipotentiaries in the con
ferent e.
\lthough the sudden halt of the par
, v by the Turks gave a sinister outlook
peace situation, this was partly
-sipated today by announcement that
... Porte has sent Sir Richard Craw
ford, the British adviser to the Turk
i -i: government, to London to assist in
arranging the financial details of the
i.r.r <>--ed 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 with Premier Venizelos. of Greece,
<■■■>■ if the Greek peace delegates, for
■ onsiderable period.' Afterward Mr.
Venizelos said he did not believe it
■■..■.•111 be necessary for the United
Si .it or any other great power to ine-
. "although the future could not
foreseen accurately.”
Sir Edward Grey, the English minis
p . of foreign affairs, and other high
• Hi', inis of the foreign office are plain
tv. .rried over the latest possibilities
in the present deadlock. The develop
ments here indicate that Turkey’s do
stic policies are largely responsible
for tiie hitch in the negotiations. After
he envoys were instructed to treat
vith the Greek envoys by the Porte
these instructions were subsequently
ithdrawn.

denied public recognition in the public
schools of Montgomery and no student

their schools all public recognition, in
cluding the privilege of holding meet
ings in the school buildings.

In November the Jewish Education ii
alliance gave a room in its building foi
the establishment of a south side
branch. Because of lack <sf funds for
books and assistants the board was
forced to decline the offer. The Upcle
Remus Memorial association also has
asked for a branch library to be placed
in the home, for the use of the citizens
of West End.
In January the privileges of the
library were extended to the residents
of Fort McPherson.
In August a deposit' of books was
placed at the two exchanges of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company.
This deposit has been increased several

Small deposits of books have been

“I wish to extend my thanks for the
many services rendered the library by
the three daily papers, whose columns
always have been at our^ disposal: to
the many friends who have made gen
erous gifts during the year, and to Dan
Carey, who has kept us 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.”

LOCKERGLUBSIN
DECIDING BITTLE
Test of New Ordinance Before
Judge Pendleton —Fate of
Four Clubs at Stake.
Four Atlanta locker clubs—the Geor
gia Athletic, Southern. Bees, and
Knight sos the Mystic Ark —refused
permits by the city council, brought
their test cases, attackirfg the validity
of the municipality's new club ordi
nance. to trial before Superior Judge
Pendleton at I o'clock today. Attor
neys for tiie clubs and City Attorney
Maysmi said that new points were in
volved ami the trial would not be con
cluded before tomorrow.
This action of the clubs is the third
phase of tiie fight to put the city's suc
cessive locker club ordinances out of
business. The first case, 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 eases, 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 ail the Atlanta council
men to answer a series of pertinent
questions, showing their relation with
various and sundry local clubs.
The city attorney will fight the case
on the old lines of police regulation.
