Why does a man always think he is

with an unbecoming cap set on one
side of his head? He does not look

European Press Unanimous That Turkey

LONDON, May 19.-The harmony CT
the European press ON the subject Of the
conditions of peace is remarkable. The
semi-official papers, The Times, The
Novoe Vremya, The Temps, The North
German Gazette and The Fremdenblatt,
are as one in the vigorous terms il.
which they denounce Turkeys preten.

speedy arnistice is removed by Ger
many, which temporarily blocked the
negotiations, having instructed her arr
bassadors at Constantinople, Baron Won
Saurma-J eitsch, to join the other am
bassadors III pressing upon the
porte the necessity of agreeing
upon an. ar1nistice, it can be
taken for granted that, with the innu-
merable forms of coercion ready to the
hands of the powers, the sultan will
yield to the inevitable within day or
two, especially as the capture Of the
Greek positions at Domokos will go far
to satisfy the Turkish war party. An
order telegraphed to Edhem Pasha to
cease hostilities probably indicates that
the Turkish government is about to
yield to the demands OF the powers.

ATHENS, May 19.-After hosting the

Turkish officers appeared on the from
tier at the bridge over the river Arta to
negotiate with Colonel Manos for an
armistice. The communication from
the Turkish to the Greek commander at
Arta.which followed the raising of the
flag of truce by the former, was as fol
lows:
son condition that no Greek soldier
belonging to any arm of the service re-

pire, we have orders that an armistice
shall be concluded on sea and land with
a view of arriving at an understanding. "
The Greek commander telegraphed to
Athens for instructions and the govern
ment replied: eve authorize you to
suspend hostilities in order to discuss
the conditions of an armistice."
The government, in notifying the en-
voys OF the powers ais to this proposal,
said that as Greece had entrusted her
interests to the powers, it was for them
to negotiate the conditions Of an under

RUSSIA SHOWED HER HAND.

Gear Given the Credit for the Cessation of
Hostilities.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, May 19.-There was
q sudden and unexpected change in the
political situation shortly before noon.
Russia quietly showed her hand and
thereby forced Germany and Turkey
out of the game, to all intents and pur-
poses. Turkey supported by Germany
was practically defying Russia,
France, Austria, Great Britain and
Italy, insisting upon the annexation of
Thessaly in addition to huge war in
demnity, and, seemingly, was deter
mined to march upon Athens. It trans
pires that the car made
Direct Appeal to the Sultan
to order his troops to cease hostilitieA
and arrange an arnistice, and this,
coupled with the fact that most serious
results would have ensued if Turkey
had persisted in her defiant attitude,
brought about the present state of af-
fairs.
Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish minister
for foreign affairs, called upon the dean
of the diplomatic corps, Baron Won
Calico, to convey to the foreign minis
tiers the sultan's decision to arrange ash
armistice
1t is now believed that the terms of
peace will be negotiated directly be-
tween Turkey and Greece.

Granting of the Armistice an Important
Step, Says Salisbury.
LONDON, May 19.-Speaking at the
Junior Constitutional club Lord Sails.
bury touched briefly on the compica.
tions in Southeastern Europe.
The premier said he regretted tina,
political reasons precluded him from
saying much on the subject OF foreign
affairs.
The armistice which had been de-
clared was due to pressure exerted by
six powers, especially Russia. 1t was a
very important step, giving time for re-
Election and negotiation, but it did not
seriously diminish the difficulties which
had to be faced.
'.The popularity of this strange cri.
sis" said Lord Salisbury, sis that the
war cannot be left to work out its nat
ural results. 1t is impossible that
Europe should allow Christian commu.
mites to fall under the sultan's govern
ment. But it must not be supposed
that, because this doctrine throws its
aegis over Greece, she is, therefore, to
be free from all penalties attaching to
the unwise or unrighteous action. !"
