ABSURD TALK.
The talk Of Great Britain's exhibition of
incapacity was absurd. Great Britain could
not use a great army if she did not have
one. Therefore, said the Prime Minister,
he hailed with great satisfaction the indi-
cations that public opinion had been
aroused by the atrocious horrors of which
the Turkish government had been guilty.
Yet he recognized that the most fitting in
| strument of reforms was not an army In
| an island 1900 miles away. 1t might be
done by others. Therefore, the only wise
course he saw was an adherence to the Eu-
| ropean concert. IL the European states
| were willing to act they had means OF ac-
| ton which Great Britain did not possess.
| If they were unwilling TO act and IL they
| objected to isolated action by Great Brit

| bringing about the frightful horrors or an
| European war. 1t was nonsense TO say
