LONDON, Aug. 2l.-The latest crisis In the
GRECO Turkish peace negotiations II perhaps
mote serious than the earlier ones, because, 1t 10

the TURKISH troops. There are noisy denun.

Of Continental alliances to crush perndious
Albion arc as common as Klondike lies.
1t bardly needs explaining that it Is tho other
powers and not England which have changed
their attitude with regard to the evacuation Of
Thes,ely. Lord Salisbury insisted from the
nrs, that the Turks must leave as soon ~ the
treaty OF peace was signed. He even delivered
n virtual ultimatum 10 this effect to the Sultan
and the powers. Enormous pressure 10 now
bang put forth to force him to recode nom this
position. There 10, alas altogether too good
reason to fear he may yield in this as in all other
matters where he has encountered determined
opposition. According to the latest advices,
however, he Is standing TO his guns.

The Turkish authorities however, are thor

The man who attempted to throw q bomb on
Wednesday In the Ottoman Bank Is an Arms-

from Batoum. Russia, six months ago. He be-
longed to an association the members Of which
drew lots to decide who should attempt to blow
up the bank. The task fell to him, and he did
his best to carry out the scheme Of the con-

He declares that he received ample funds
from the association and that IN accomplice had

The firm stand taken by England against the
occupation of Greek territory by the Moslems Ii
perhaps the cause Of the Porte's moderation,

the reasonableness OF England's objection to
deliver Greek territory to the gentle mercy Of
the Sultan.
