AN ARArIsTICE.

AN ARMISTICE.
LONDON, May 81, 5 A. MA Berlin
dispatch states that semi-official pa
pers there continue to intimate that
the end of the war is approaching.-
The conclusion of an armlstice is AL
ready rumoied. The Times cores
pondent at Vienna telegraphs as fol-
lows: Rumors of
THE POSSIBILITY OF PEACE
are floating about here. They ema-
nate in Berlin and date from the time
OF Prince Bismark's stay there. At
nrst they were vague. Now howey-
er, they have assumed a more posi-
tive form, to the effect that the fall of
Ardahan, the retreat of the Turks to
Erzeroum, together with the impress
SION made upon the Porte by the me-
nacing attitude of the chamber and
the population of the capital, have al.
ready furnished opportunity for
| GERMAN MEDIATION.
IL is also to be remarked that the
grand yizier was for some time am
bassador at Berlin and has been keep
ing up rather intimate relations with
the German cabinet as regards Tur-
Key. 1t is thought that the govern
ment and palace cliques would only
be too glad to escape from their crit
ical position by dismissing the cham
Der and then coming to an arrange
ment. The Turkish parliament
might be sent home in June without
any extraordinary measure. The inn
preston equally exists that Russia is
little inclined to carry matters to an
extreme.
THE SUCCESS ALREADY GAINED
in Asia and in takiug up positions on
the Danube might be Considered as
sufficient satisfaction to military hon
or provided Turkey were inclined to
yield, especially as the task of cross
ing the Danube and acquiring COM
piete mastery Of Bulgaria is not un-
derrated nor the danger ignored of
the complications which might arise

AT HOME AND ABROAD.
The correspondent concludes: "I
reproduce these rumors as | find
them. The bOurse seems to be influ-
enced by them, but in official and d.
plomatic circles they seem to have
made little impression, and are deen-
ed very premature, to say the least"
THE THREE EMpERoRs.
The semi-official Provincial Cores
pondence of Berlin to-day publishes
an article, which, in the light of the
recent peace rumors from Bucharest,
is significant. The article concludes
as follows: "The efforts of the Ger
man policy, which after the last war
found expression and firm basis in
the alliance Of the three empcrors,
have proved also in the present grave
crisis to be a guarantee for pacific
mediation, reaching far beyond that
narrow alliance. If, notwithstanding
the outbreak Of the Russo-TurkisR
war the prospects Of the preserva-
tlon OF peace in Europe have with
in tho lastfew weeks rather increased
than diminished, the German policy
has an honorable share in this"

john LATHRoP MOTLEY, the Amer
lean historian, who died al London,
England, Tuesday, was born at Dor
chester, Massachusetts,, on the 18th
day of April, 1914. He graduated at
Harvard in 1881, studied for year at
the university of Gottingcn, after
which he made a tour of the conti-
nent. Returning to this country he
studied law, but never practiced to
any extent, his inclination leading
him to follow literary pursuits. He
wrote several works of romance and
fiction which did not meet with very
much success. In 1910 he was ap-
pointed Secretary of Legation at st.
Petersburg, but held the place for
only 8 short time. In 1856 Mr.. Mot
ley published historical work en-
titled the "Risc of the Dutch Repub-
lie" which was translated into
various languages, and it was consid-
cred by eminent critics to be work
which was credit to American
literature. In 1861 Mr.. Motley was
appointed Minister to Austria, which
position he resigned in 1867 in con-
sequence of an offensive letter from
Secretary Seward. In 1871 he went
to London as the American represent
ative. Since his retirement form that
position, Mr.. Motley has resided in
England, and devoted himself to lit
erary pursuits.

LONDON, June IA special from
Vienna to the Times has the fellow
ing: One thing seems Eretty certain
that for one reason or another, pos
sibly for several, a delay has occurred
in the Russian advance in Asia. It is
possible that even the necessity of
sending some of the reserve troops to
secure communication through Cau-
cassus, may have contributed to re-
tard the advance. Fortunately for
Russia the Turks seem scarcely in a
position to take advantage of this de-
lay. All accounts agree that the con-
dition of their forces is even worse
than generally believed. They are
considerably fewer than has been as
sumed and with exception of arms
lack everything requisite for an ar
my in the field. There seems to be
hardly any reserve stock of ammuni-
ton, especially for artillery. It is
impossible to expect that all these
short comings can be remedied be-
fore the Russians push forward to
Erzeroum.
A special from Paris to the Times
says Nj. Defourtien, minister Of In
tericr, has resolved to forbid all po-
litical meetings of over twenty per-
sons.
