official statement from St. Petersburg
declares that, the POrte's proposal for
FIVE months armistice is regarded by the
public as merely an attempt to check
mate Russia and eyade the guarantee for
the proper treatment Of the Christians,
and does not secure peace. A favorable

separate terms with the Turkish arch
enemy, Russia.

The Times, in leading editorial, says
that the conduct Of Russia makes 1t GER
tain that II Turkey does not accept the
proposals Of the Powers, Russia will in
teryene. The crisis Is an anxious one.
We seem TO have reached q position in
which six weeks will decide an issue Of
more moment to.Europe than any which
has arisen since the great wars at the
commencement OF the present centu.
ry. Russia's refusal OF the proposed
FIVE months armistice Is TO be condemned,
but the Porte would be extremely nnwise
TO refuse q shorter ,armistice. The
Turkish Ruters have, We fear, determined
not to yield much more, and Russia may
soon be at the mercy Of the storm she has
raised. It is not TOO late to keep Russia
back. II any country. can preserve the
coutry from rulneus war It is Germany.
