use their best offices. except the German min
lister, who has merely acknowledged xiie

powers, with a view to the faciliation OF

armslice. on the ground that this would
enable Greece to reorganize her forces. As
n matter of fact. Turkey continues to send
troops from Salonica homeward, and it is
probable that Osman Pasha has returned
to Constantnople from Salonica. In
view of both facts, it may he
assumed that nothing serious is en-
pcctcd, but tho continuation OF u state
Of war is regarded as the very best
means Of Fastening the efforts of diplomacy.
Undoubtedly, hopes have been raised in
Turkey that the Ottoman government might
annex Thessnly and restore the old frontier
of 1881. But the Sn tan is uncompromising-
ly opposed to such Il step and will not yield
to the pressure of the war party at Constan
tinople. He will be satisfied with reason
