TURKISH STRATEGY.

The action OF the Turks in allowing
the Russians to cross the Danube. nj
most withoutopposition. created u great
deal OF surprise and comment in both
military and literary circles. II WIS nc.
counted for. however. on the suppo-
sition that they were concentrating their
forces to defend the Balkans. the great
mountain bulwark Of their territory.
But the Balkans. too. were crossed with
no difficulty. and then the world began
TO think that either the Sultan had been
betrayed and sold out by his Generals.
OF his force was too light to cope with
the enemy. and the fall OF the empire
was certain. Nobody believed that the
Porte was willy enough 10 compete with
the Car in strategy. II appears. how
ever, that We wers all mistaken. The
Turk simply said. "will you walk into
my psrlor ?" to the Russian. and he
walked. The result was that his forces
were divided by the great mountain
range. aud then the subtle Turk fell
upon him and Slaughtered him in detail
on both sides OF the Balkans. The
campaign is practically ended for the
season. and 1t has been ended by super.
Tor s~sueralship IN the part Of the Ma.
hommedans. They have shown more
military genius than We gave them credit
