The plan of the Turkish commanders is now
apparent. They mean to compress the Russian
armies into as close territory IA possible,
surround them with a Gordon OF fortified
points, and, intrencning themselves equally as
they advance or recede to wait Tor furtlier
attacks The capture Of the Ship Pass would
make Gabrova untenable; and whatever re-
naming fighting the Turks may themselves
provoke would be for the purpose OF connecting
their lines on the east and west by the short
est and strongest series OF supporting positions
on the south. While the Russians are waiting
for their reinforcements, the season IS Shipping

The armies must go into winter quarters;

supplies to the army will involve Russia IN
expenses scarcely less than those OF an active
campaign
AS a matter of course, the proongation OF
the war will give rise to the usual diplomatic
attempts at mediation. But the military
humiliation of Russia introduces new factor
into the problem, powerful enough to neutral
ize even the concessions which Turkey might
be persuaded to make. Russia, now, cannot
and dare not stop short of some sort of victory.
4 diplomatic peace would leave her with
sOrely damaged prestige in the councils OF
Europe, and burning sense of disgrace In
the sensitive hearts of her people. Mr. Forbes
goes so far as to say: This war has become n
"dvnastic one for the RomanOifs, as much as
"tbe FIanco-PTussian war was for the Ma

" concluding an unsatisfactory peace, it would
have to be at the point of the bayonet."
Thee words are but slightly exaggerated.

was the work of the people, and it is they
who will say when it shall end, and how.
