informs us as follows:
London, January 12-Last weeks events
forecasts. 1t is hardly too much to say that
an exciting race is going on between arms and
diplomacy, with considerable uncertainty
whether the Russians shall reach Adrianople
or the Turks an armistice first. Turkey is al
ready at the mercy of the Gar. Her power
to resist Russian advance is already crushed.
The cOnquerer may almost at will transfer
armistice from the Balkan nights to the genial
plains below, where the Russian soldier would

care to intervene Russian diplomacy can
secure too much in that connection
to insist dangerously on anything that might
widen the conflict The war, therefore, is sub
over; that at least is the conviction
here, and business men are setting their
houses in order on that basis.
