compelling Turkey do the same. If Turkey follows
Russias example 1t is expected that before many
months the people will demand peace at any price be-
cause OF the consequent financial collapse.
THE PRUTH PROBABLY BE CROSSED.

their country The Russians in order to redouble
their pressure Turkey, will probably cross the
Pruth If not immediately at least at later stage.
