So far as can be judged the fortane of
the wal will be adverse to the Turks.
The operations may not nave the
rapidly Of recent wars, but the Turks
are overinatched and must succumb in
the end. This catastrophe Europe will
accept. No nation will go to war again
to support that which can not be sup
ported. No real statesman will cling
to- a dead element in "A system instead
OF looking for its living forces. We
know that we must seek for that which

reliable kilograms from the front. Two
battalions of Bulgarian Christians in

peace rumors arising from Schoulval-
offs visit to Berlin are unfounded.
Bismarck offered at that interview to
mediate between England and Russia,

being placed on a war footing, not
withstanding assurances to the con-
trary in Parliament.
