PEACE APPARENTLY IN SIGHT.

1t now appearsi it was Germany and not
cent excessive demands upon Greece for
indemnify. The government of the car
has at last apparently shown his hand,
and the result is the Turkish armies have
suddenly come to halt. Austria is act
ing in concert with Russia, and OF course
England and France will follow suit
Germany's position in the muddle is a
strange one for great Christian nation
to occupy. 1t was the instruction of her
best military talent which has brought
the Turkish army to it's present eff.
cheney, and it now transpires that it was
the secreu support of the German govern
ment that led to the extravaganza demands
of the Ottoman ruler. He seemed to
think that in preserving the integrity OF
Turkey the powers were willing to allow
him to do what he pleased with Grecian
territory. The sultan, however, has
finally changed. Germany has backed
down from the support of Turkey, and as
Bulgaria and Roumania are preparing to
mobilize their armies at the instigation
probably of Russia, the pretensions of the
sultan will be materially lessened Peace
may now be regarded as not far distant,
unless Germany should again show up in
an unexpected position. If Emperor Will
liam should decide to support the prcten-
sions of Turkey, the armies of the two
countries would be able TO walk com
petely over the rest OF Europe, unless
they should accidentally come in contact
with large English force. This contin-
gency is of course not liable to happen.
The German emperor will restrain his
military ardor for the present and not as
yet assume the role OF an Alexander the
Great ora Cnesnr.
