The Captain determined to bury them together before the passengers left their berths. When the hatches were opened to bring out the bodies, a flood of light waa let Into the portion of the hold occupied by ti.out) canaries, being brought to thla country for the holiday trade.

Instantly the birds, which bad been kept in darkness throughout the voyage, burst forth Into tretote chirps, one imitating an other, until the entire ww were singing.

When the Brandenberg started up the Delaware River, light again was let Into the hold and the birds sang during the en tire river trip.

The sessions of tbe Peace Conference win be held in the historic St. James Falaee and while leaders are hopeful that an agreement will be reached whereby the raa- filct between tbe Balkan States and Tur key will end. nevertheless It is a known fact that both sides are keeping In readi-aeea to combat any emergencies that may arise.

Sir Edward Grey, British Secretary of Foreign Affairs, will make a brief speech of welcome to the peace delegates to-mor row, and. alter expressing the hops ot fruitful end of their labors, be will retire and leave the conference to deliberate In private. See an Austrian Bluff. The delegates spent a quiet day Bundary, Nothing has transpired yet to show whether any serious difficulty la likely a arise over rhe attendance of the Greek Concerning4 -TheAVatS-etsrat controversy the Balkan delegates think It tbe result of Austrian bluff. They say Vienna, having seen her traditional program of gradually extending through the Balkan states to oalonikl completely wrecked has tried to counterbalance the bad effect It has had at home by clamoring that Albania must be autonomous, accord' ing to the Austro-ItaUan agreement con cluded In rftOi.

Therefore, neither Greece nor Servia can occupy tbe Albanian Adri actlc coast, much less Servls. ss Servia means Russia." What does Montenegro represent? asked one of the delegates, laughing, "with Its ports at Antlvari and Dulclgno, to whicb Scutari will soon beadded. It being no mystery to anybody that the small king' dom can be considered almost as a Russian province, and the Montenegrin army as contingent of the Muscovite forces." According to the Balkan delegates. Aus tria's Increased armaments and the prac tical mobilisation of her army are due less to the probability of declaring war against Servia than to the grave internal situation tn the tnonsrehy. the unrest In- Hungary and tbe agitation among Servians, daily In Bosnia and Heraegovina.

An additional cause for concern Is the threatening attitude of the Slavs generally throughout Austrian territory, which caused the dissolution of the municipalities of Be benlco.

"Besides, Germany, notwithstanding hel alliance, has exercised an Influence tending to moderate Austrian ardor," say tbe Bal i kan delegates. Admitting, however, a coup d'etat on the part of Austria, we certainly know that neither Servia nor any other of tbe Balkan states would be left alone, as Russia would come to their assistance, being to-day no more the Russia of the wsr with Japan. and. indeed, anxious to show what she can do Europe. "At the time of the annexation of Bosnia and Heraegovina the Russian Emperor himself wss on tbe point of sending an ut tluialum to Austria, which would have tod to war.

but he was prevented from so doing through the friendly Intervention of King Edward. It will be retorted that Germany would support Ausria against Russia, but In this case France would be forced by the Ruseo-French alliance to attack Germany. "This would mean a genual conflict which all nave more interest to pte.ent than to hasten and which' will not be brought about for a relatively lualgniUcant cause, such as allowing Servia to have a strip of land along the southern frontier of Montenegro and a small stretch of coast on the Adriatic."
