The Herald, 1913-01-10, Page 2ftJRKEY YIF2L S d0 LLIES Holds Oat for .Adrianople, but Surrenders Other Territory at the Peace Conference A despatch fro/it London says After protracted diplomatic skirm- ishing the Turks finally capitulat- ed to a majority of the demands of the Balkan allies at Wednesday's session of the peace conference in St. James' Palace. Through R2chad Pasha they agreed to cede practi- cally the whole of the Ottomae Em- pire's European dominions except Adrianople and the territory be- tween it and C_ nsiantlnople to their victorious, but traditionally despised, neighbors. The terms the Turkish delegates presented to the ..•onference as a counter -proposal to the demands of the allies were:- 1st-The ere:-- lst--The rectification of the Tur- co -Bulgarian frontier by :caking the boundary west of the line now. occupied by the troops of the allies in the Vilayet of Adrianople. 2nd -The clues:eon of the status cif Adrianople. to be settled by Tur- key and Bulgaria direct. 3rd -The cessio:i of the remainder. 'of European Turkey, including Ja- nina and Scutari, re the allies. I 4th -The Albanian and Cretan !questions to be solved by the pow- ers. 5th -The Aegean Islands to re - mein Turkish. The announcement of tee terms was wrung from the Ottoman dele- gates with the greatest difficulty. They came only after Bechtel Pasha had reiterated Turkey's desire to shift the responsibility for adjudi- cating all the vital questions to the great powers and the representa- tives of the allies had registe.el their unchangeable objections to such a course, and plainly had given the Turks to understand that the failure of the Ottoman delegates to embark upon serious negotiations would mean a resumption of hostili- ties in South -Eastern Europe. • FECES OF FARM 'ROEs3 Sgail ,Psha OF amERAg&, ince§ er Came, eta Ceeeso vre ntebt ®®®tlUGe at mama sine ane aaa8 Crcad3tuffs.

CHEAP SCALES 'ARE RIM The Royal Coral.'ss an Finds this Reacts to the Detriment of the Farmer A despatch from Montreal says: That there has been a demar>d for cheap weighing scales, and that this has led to the placing on the mar- ket of unreliable and faulty ma- chines, reacting to the detriment of the farmer when selling his pro- duct, was the chief point brought out on Thursday afternoon before the Royal Commission, which for Blame time past has been investigat- ing certain complaints as to weigh- irg and payme.at methods made against Montreal merchants. The t stimony was given by Henry J. •1 iT r ' Preid 1. . ..ent of the Canadian Fairbanks Company, who enforced his p ints by 'demonstrating with three machines. During the last ten years, Mr. Fuller to'd the Com- missLn, there had been a growing derr.ard for cheaper scales. Gov- ernment regulations were not sufli- I eiently rigid, he said. 'What was iwanted in scales was accuracy, durability and reliability. Mr. Fuller cxpreescd the opinion that inspectors should be more fully in- structcd as to their duties. Inspr,c- Itors were appointed, he alleged, for political reasons, men who had ne- ver handled a scale before. As to bow the cheaper grade scales might be banish d he advocated that Gov- ernment should establish a mini- mum for matsri al in the parts of mac) iine,s insist in�ast on a certain maximum for given loads. He also suggested more frequent inspection►. 50,000 I M 11'i! I It4 Ontario Ileeeir ed CO per ;twat q. British Illu*iigratioi► Last "k o4i1°, A.

HIGH COST 0 ""4 HEN FRUIT Coming of the Cheap American Egg Alarms the Cana .i i a rn Egg Men A despatch from Ottawa says The newest thing in trade trouble is the conduct of the egg, mor especially the United Sta..es eg product of the prolific America hen. It is coming into Canada Representations made to the Gov element indicate that the adven of the United States egg under e; isting circumstances is viewed wit alarm by Canadian egg interests, The egg trade across the horde appears to be in a somewhat disor ganized condition, seemingly du to the efforts of housekeepers leagues in making N ar on hig prices, The situation is abnormal Eggs are said to be selling in sev eral cities close to the border prices far below what it cost buy and store them. Egg men o : this side of the line have a, winter's s supply, procured at prices several e cents higher than those now being g, charged at the border. n The suggestion has been made • .that the dumping duty in the Calla- - than tariff be applied to the Ameri• t can egg, orthat the Canadian and - American egg tariffs be ternporar- la ily equalized, the Canadian duty being two cents lower. It does not 1' appear that the importation of the - cheaper eggs could be d:scourared e even if such a course were thought ' desirable. h The dumping clause only app'ies • where the import price in Canada - is lower than the fair market price at in the country of origin. It would, to in such case, apply to eggs as well n as to anything else, ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN Switch Lock Broken and Switch Thrown Olsen. A despatch from Charlottetown P. E.

ALED IN DA Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Roe?kefei'er Instii;ute, Announces a Great Scientific Discovery A despatch from New York rays: Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, who received the Nobel Prize for medi- eine in 1912, is the first es announce a great, scientific discovery in 1913. In the current issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine, the offi- cial organ of the Rockefeller Insti- tute, he predicts, as the result of a :series of a ip.eriments which have been in prog:css since 1907, thelpos- sibnlity of healing a cutaneous wound in less than a day, and the repair of a broken leg in four days. Although Dr. Carrel does not men- tion it in his preliminary report, the assertion is also made that the reparative proems may become ap- plicable not only in cases where the tissues have been divided, as in .knife wounds, but in oases where large areas of tissue have been de- stroyed in various parts of the body by disease. s eas e. . Carrel's latest discovery is the result cf speculation as to the anner in which cells multiply and s effect the growth of tissues. If it were possible, he argued, to be- come possess.d of this knowledge it ought to be possible also to pro- mote this proliteration of cells, and the consequent growth of connec- tive tissue by artificial m.ea.ns. His important discovery is almost eon- cealed beneath this innocuous cap- tion, "Art.ficial Activation of the Growth in Vitro of Connective Tis- sue." - A'dod by keowledgc of the fact that the growth of the body is de- pendent in many respects on the more or less mysterious activities of some of the ductile glands -the thyroids for instance -be applied a mixture of thyroid extract and macerated portions of other organs of the body to cutaneous wounds. The results were wonderful, almost miraculous, 'They bear out the seililtist's statement that "if the rote of the reparation of tissues were activated ten times only,a cutaneous wound would heal in less than twenty-four hours, and a frac- hire of the leg would be cured in four days."
