LONDON, ENGLAND, May 4-The inn
preston grows stronger in all quarters
that the submission of Greece to Turkey
and the powers will soon be forthcoming.
1t is not expected to take the form of
suing for peace or mediation-the latter
the least of all, for the Greek feeling is
more bitter against the concert of Europe
than against Turkey.
King George would prefer to negotiate
direct with the Sultan than through the
powers. Indeed, he declared recently he
would never under anv circumstances
seek the in tervention Of Europe.
1t is not UNLIKELY the end OF the hostiIi.
ties will take the form of brief arm !stice.
This gained, nobody believes the fighting
will ever be resumed. Instead of hoping
for Turkish success, official Europe is now
earnestly desirous the Greeks should gain
some advantage in the field. The inter-
ests Of Europe were considered best served
by the Turkish victories at the outset of
the war. Now the situation is reversed.
The Sultan is naturally convinced he is
invincible, and daily becomes more de-
fiant.
Reliable informati from Constantine
pie is to the effect that he now refuses to
listen to lesser terms than the return of
Crete, q cessation OF the bulk OF Thessaly
and transfer of half of the Greek navy.
Emperor William and others who melted
him to try to beat the Greeks are likely to
repeat when they find the Eastern prob
lem rendered Immensely more difficult
instead of simplified by the war. A gen;
uine Greek victory at the present moment
would, therefore, be received with Joy in
European chancelleries because of its
double effect of restoring the Greek self
respect and checking Turkish obstinacy
England. as Curzon announced in the
House of Commons to-day, is again press
ing the question of intervention, this time
with success. 1t is beginning to be recog.
nized at st. Petersburg, Berlin and Vienna
that the political friendship OF England
and France will become genuine factor
in the situation, and it's influence is al
ready felt. 1t is no secret that England is
in favor of stopping the war instantly at
any cost and of restoring the status quo
ante bellum in every respect. France
practically indorses the policy of Sails

EARTHQUAKE ARcHIrscruRE.
How the Natives OF sumAtra build
Their Houses.

NhuNtas
In every country the style Of archi-
lecture finally evolved is determined
mainly by the conditions which nature
has imposed In those regions. The
houses Of the natives Of Sumatra es-
peeially illustrate this. and are desery-
Ing OF notice as showing the style Of
building which the frequent recurrence
OF earthquakes renders safest In lands
subject TO such yisitations.
The frames Of the houses are OF
wood. the stringers resting upon posts
six or eight feet high. which have a
sort OF capital but no base, and are
wider az the top than at the bottom
The natives appear 10 have no idea OF
architecture as on art. but show much
ingenuity IN working up their mate
rials. For the flooring they lay whole
hamboos. four or eve inches In diam
eier, close together and made fast 10
the tlmhers at the ends Across these
are laid lnths OF split bamboo. each
about an inch wide and OF the length
OF the room. These are tied down
with hlamcnts Of rattan and over them
are usually spread mats. This sort Of
floor has a springincss rather alarming
