ton relgus, When Russia says drop
it" to the blood hungry Turk, he
pauses; although with many a grewl
and snarl aud snatch of his rcekiDg
jaws, he knows he must release his
prey.
After couquerlng and occupying
the whole of Thessaly, and demonstra-
ting the utter liability of the Greeks
to make staud against them, tho
Turks coolly demanded that Thes-
sally must be glven up TO them and
claimed war indemnity of $4,000
900 before they would desst from
their advance upon Athens. The
total destruction of Greece seemed
assured, aud it is probable that had
the greed of the Turks not been SO
extravagant they might have been
permitted actually to completely
crush and ruin their little adversary.
Germany, throughout has upheld
Turkey and is apparently even willing
to allow her TO absorb the whole
kingdom of Greece. France, with
nLual French enthusiasm and futility
has been clamoring protests for d
long time, hut dared to take no active
step alone Italy and Austria have
maintained all irresoIute attitude,
lEussia porteutous silence, and Eng
land the arbiter of destinies, the cham-
pion of right, justice and Christianity,
has pursued a policy of indecision and
double dealing little to her credit, AT
last however, Russia hss spoken, and
in unmist skabe language ordered the
war to cease Tie submission with

the mandate of the Gar shows plain
ly that Russia is the power par ex-
cellence OF Europe. England is her
only rival, and even England, uusup-
ported, can hardly oppose the might
of the northern giant. The drama
Is not yet ended 1t is not the first
time the Greeks have sowed the
dragons teeth. Christianity and
humanity will sigh with relief at the
ending of the war, but English speak
ing people will sorrow that it should
have been Russia, and not England:
that arrested the Turks onward
march to Athens.
