The arrangements for the Conference at Paris remain
unchanged, and it is little likely that any obstacle will now
arise. Nevertheless, Europe has had a very narrow
escape from a serious war. There is no doubt that Greece
deliberately chose to abide by the chances of a struggle,
and it is scarcely less certain that Turkey would also have
preferred an appeal to arms. According to information
from an excellent source, the Porte consented to accept
the invitation of France only when it was found that the
loan of five millions sterling recently contracted with the
Socidtd Gdarale of Paris could not readily be realised.

believes that the Conference has been accepted only to gain
time—and money.
The Paris correspondent of the Post believes it is
correctly asserted that the Emperor and his Cabinet are
pleased at the meeting of a Conference in order to pre-
vent the dispute between the Greeks and the Turks spread.

in the East, and she could not have long remained a spec-

renounced her traditional role of protector of the Christians
of the Mahomedan world. None of the Great Powers
seems to have desired the Eastern question to invite a
conflict.
