consider the situation and probably 10
revise the treaty. Turkey, caught in
moment OF weakness. is the victim
OF this situation. and while some inter.
astional animosities have been stirred
up. probably no power is willing to
make war. Reports from the emanci-
pated Turkish press to London indi-
cate that the Young Turks" Will
swallow this bitter pill as best they
can. and if they do. naturally the Bull
garians. while willing and eager for
war. will have no cause on which to
base the beginning of hostilities.
Probably never in the history of
Europe have politics taken such amaz.
tngly Kaleidoscope revolutions as dur
Ing the past week. An entangling sit
uation will come when the signatories
OF the Berlin treaty meet to consider
what action shall be taken regarding
the violations OF the treaty. Great
Britain has served notice that it does
not recognize the right of any Of the
parties to this treaty to violate its
provisions, without consulting the 9th.
ers. but English diplomats know that
the conference will resolve itself into
a scramble among the powers to get
what is termed in European politics
'compensating advantages" which
Austria. backed by Germany. has al
ready obtained.
The chances of war between Bul.
garia and Turkey are being minimized
by Great Britain and France. who arr
working together and who have ad-
vised Turkey against it. Turkey ap-
parently is disposed to follow this ad.
vice. and 1t is believed that IL hasty
action on the part Of Turkey can be
prevented Bulgaria will have difficulty
in finding an excuse to begin war.
