VIII Continue to right.
London, April 26.-What seems likely
20 be one last week OF the war was en-
tered upon Sunday. 1t is difficult from
Abe tangle of conflicting kilograms To
understand the exact position OF az
fairs. Following the Greek defeat at
Larissa, London opinion is almost unan-
imous that the end is in sight, and this
view is probably shared by the powers,
as they are already moving TO intervene.
1t is believed that Intervention Will hrst
take the form of a suggestion OF arms
tice, to which the combatants would
no doubt agree. Since Saturday after
noon the British foreign office has been
in close communication with the other
members of the European concert, Great
Britain suggesting that the time mas
now aEvired for them TO act.
The( French, German and Italian gov
ernmehts have already responded, Of
fering to agree, though the German gov
eminent adds as a condition that 1t VIII
be necessary TO enact pledge from
Greece to obey the mandate of Europe
when this mandate is again given. The
British foreign Office believes that Greece
will give this pledge, as the disasters
which have overtaken her have dem
onstrated that Turkey still possesses
formidable fighting machine, fact
which must have SOLDERING effect upon
the popular demand for war at Athens.
and which will permit the Greek nation
to climb down without disgrace after
~ ha n
courage of the Greek troops and graf
flying demonstration of Hellenic pa
triotism.
If the Greeks listen TO reason and ar
guments pressed at Athens and Russia
at Constantinople it is not improbable
that decision will be reached by Tues
day, before which it is not supposed
here that Edhem Pasha or Osman Pasha
will have time to do more than to ap-
pear at Pharsala.
Athens, April 26.-It is useless to
deny that a very gloomy outlook of the
war prospect is taken here by the bet
ter informed. There are, however, no
signs of panic. The city exhibits an
attitude of dignified endurance, while
many persons still show an undated
enthusiasm for fight. Although it is
said that the Greeks carried off all their
guns from Tyrnavo and Larissa, and
also destroyed the provisions at both
places, they could not transport the
guns to Pharsala. 1t is reluctantly be-
lieved by some in Athcnian circles that
the retreat was somewhat disorderly
and that some of the guns were aban-
doned with but feeble defense.
The Greek government has decided to
persevere in the struggle and to resist
the further advance of the enemy with
greatersenergy than has hitherto been
displayed. 1t is officially declared that
the new line of defense is far stronger
than the frontier where the Turks
gained their advantage in consequence
of the superiority of their positions.
King George means to go to the front
and TO take a decided stand at Pharsala,
which was the line of defense advised
by Gen. Vosseur and some members OF
his staff from the very beginning. The
Greeks have destroyed the railway from
Larissa to Volo. 1t is reported that the
Greeks have arrived in the vicinity OF
Janina.
