LONDON, August 2i.-The Marquis OF
sallsblry's definite committal Of Great
Britain to the policy Of insisting upon
the evacuation Of Thessaly BY the TURK
lsh troops. whether the Greek indemnity
Is paid or unpaid, is universally ap-
proved by the. British press ana IS
equally condemned by the Continental
newspapers. II is difficult to foresee the
outcome Of the "impasse."
The great grip Of the Marquis o.
Salisbury on the Powers Is found In the
Iatter's desire to get peace settled and
the Turkish army disbanded, as until
this last step IS accomplished the peace
Of Europe will be continually menaced.
1t is suggested that Great Britain may
abandon the concert or the Powers
This is probable. would be regarded as
proof OF bad faith, and would throw the
Powers into a violent and DANGEROUS
ferment. because, rightly or wrongly, IL
is universally believed tnat Great br-
tain is bent on treachery. AS diplomat
puts It, "She is again on the proWl,
and Europe fears TO suddenly discover
that Fngland has executed coup de

However. It Is stin hoped that Greece
will manage to unite the knot by find
ing a sum sufficient to induce the TURK

Of It's troops to the frontier designated
in the draft Of the treaty of peace.

The latest enterprise Of the vestry OF
81. Pancras is attracting much atten-
ton among the public, and has excited
tbe adverse comment OF many doctors.
