THE LONDON TIMES REVIEWS THE
sERvo-TUBKIsH CONFLICT.
LONDON, July 10 The Times, in q
leading editorial article on the Servo
Turkish conflict, says: "All that comes
to US from Belgrade is contradicted
from COnstantinople, and conversely
when two opposing statements appear
on the same day in the same column,
and the most trusting reader cannot es-
cape from sensations of disappointment,
irritation and indifference. We NAV,
therefore, confine ourselves to indicat-

they appear at the present moment and
the position which neighboring States
have assumed, or are likely to

General Tchernayeff has suffered no

in the end, have to fight for the security
of the Servian frontier. He has but a

At FeyaDg, on the Servian frontier,
the strongest feature of the campaign is
the movement of the Prince of Monte
negro. He has force estimated at
thirty thousand men, largely composed
OF volunteers from other districts. He
boasts of geat successes, and that he has
beaten the Turks, or they have retreated
before him; that his men would have
made the port of Kleck useless to the
Turks, even il the Austrians had not
closed it. He entered Nevesirje and
threatens Mostar, bat ne is not cooper

should be something very profound in
the plan of the campaign. The notion
that the Montenegrins do not count On
the success of their allies. and therefore
go for what they can get for themselves,
a short time will show. In the mean
time Greece remains entirely peaceful,
and Roumania balances her demand on
the porte by earnest declarations Of neu-
trality, and will probably keep quiet as
long ss she gan.
