The Greeks have not yet discovered
that a change of administration does
not add battalions to the armies in the
field. Turkey has all the sympathy Of
Euorpe with her in her contest with
Greece, Notwithstanding she is alien in
religion from all the others. The facts
are that religious affiliations cut no ice
in a political argument and this whole
eastern question is being arranged
with reference to the future of the
Great Powers, the actual participants
coming only into consideration as out
side parties. Not until the real mind
of Russia and Germany and Great
Britain isknown will there be any
light thrown on the present situation.
