LONDON, Aug 23.-The Times, in lead.
ing article, says: If any mode could be de-
vsed Of giving Herzegovina and Bosnia an in
dependence similar to that enjoyed by Servia,
it would be great relief to the Porte and an
advantage to Europe. The writer points to
the gradual and inevitable disruption of the
Ottoman Empire. He protests against the
supposltion that the foreign policy of England
might be governed in the interests of the hold
ers of Turkish bonds. The article concludes ::
Whenever the moment arrives Ior further

loces of Turkey, We need DOT hesitate to assist

sirabe.
