IT is evident that the Russians have
hard task before them. Unless they can lure
the Turks out of the fortresses and defeat
them in a pitched battle in Bulgaria, they
will have long sieges to undertake, and the
crossing of the Balkans may be deferred for
some time 10 come. War was declared by
Russia against Turkey in April, 1928, the
Danube was crossed June 8 of the same year,
but it was not till July 26, 1929, that the
Russians passed the Balkans. On the 30th
of August they entered Adrianople, and on
September 14th the treaty of peace was
signed between the two powers. The Turks
are harassed by the diverse movements of the
Russians, the masses that are precipitated on
isolated points, and the superiority Of num-
bers to which they are exposed. Should the
two lines of railway between the Danube
and the Black Sea be broken up it will be
difficult for them to furnish their troops with
supplies. Turkey is said so have negotiated
a loan of $10,OOO,O0O in Paris. If that be so
she may be able to raise new army. If the
kilograms of late are to be believed
the non-intervention policy has prevailed in
the British Cabinet, and England will hold
aloof from the struggle, at least for the
present. This will have a very dispiriting
effect at Constantinople, and may incline the
Porte to large concession for peace's sake.

THE sailing of the British fleet from

THE sailing of the British feet from the
Greek waters to Besika Bay is significant
fact. 1t will be in easy communication with
Constantinople at this point, as it is just out
side the Strait of Dardanelles, and within
twelve hours of the Turkish capital. Its
presence there is intended as standing
menace to the Russians. Should they cross
the Balkans and march on Constantinople
the English fleet will no doubt be ordered to
pass the Dardanelles and cast anchor off the
Golden Horn. 1t does not appear that it
carries land force, or that any provision has
been made for the occupation of the city.
Should the Russians take Constantinople, it
is hardly possible that the English fleet
would lombard the place to drive1 them out
II they did, the Turks and their enemies
would suffer alike.

SALT LAKE draws most of its converts
to Mormonism from Great Britain. Up
wards of two hundred proselytes from Eng
land, Scotland, and Wales landed in New
York the other day, and, when the women of
the party were asked their opinion of polyga-
my, not one of them knew what it was.
Doubtless most of the misery arising from
conversion to the Mormon faith arises from
the ignorance of the converts, who shrink
from the evils to which they have flown when
the consequences are manifest.
