Russians an} Turks either. L can hardly
believe that)the Turks can Withstand the
shock. Thet may save Constantinople, but
If they lose oSery other point what good will
it do them? General Sherman also took
favorable view Of the effect OH this country.
He added:
1t will keep our people at work day and
be general war, and that now seems inev-
table to INC. believe all the great powers
will be directly or indirectly involved be-
fore the year is out. In the parts of the
country ID which the field fights will GER
tainly take place half million men on
either side can and will be used. The Rus
slams will have to pull along very fast
through the summer, for they get all their

these are rarely N6vailab1e.
Gen. Sherman said h, was in favor of
allowing some of our army officers to visit
either army without pay and serve on staff
duty.
Mobile Register The effect that a war
between Russia and Turkey would have on
the United States may be conjcctured by
studying our market reports. The hostile
rumors which have been flying between the
capitols of Europe for the past few days have
led to sharp rise in American wheat and
all breadstuffs. Other causes have operated
to stiffen the market for the past six months;
but it is noticeable that American wheat
has been steadily advancing since the early
part of last fall, when the Eastern question
began to be most threatening. Since then
the rise in wheat has been nearly 60 cents
bushel. The prevalent belief that the
spring would see the opening of great
war IN the East has certainly done its part
facts the New York Post concludes that such
war would be materially benefit to the
trade and commerce of the United States.
It would create a large European demand
for American grain and -four and provisions
of all kinds, and the effect of this would bo
to stimulate manufactures and business in
nearly every branch of industry. Ocean
lfreighis would partake Of the improvement,
and if England were dragged by circunstan-
ces into tho vortex of the war, American
commerce, having the preference for the
carrying trade, would get start which it
has not enjoyed for nearly twenty years.
Americans with these thoughts in their
minds, to say nothing Of the concern which
they feel in the promotion Of Christianity
and civilization in Turkey, will eagerly
watch every days development of the Eas.
tern question.

on the banks of the Pruth and the Danube
