QUESTION OF PEACE OR WAR
HANGING IN THE BALANCE

BERLIN, October 6.-The question
whether there is to be peace or war in
the Balkans has not yet been decided
in Constantinople, according to official
dispatches received at the foreign Office
today. The ambassadors Of the powers
at Constant1nOple find the situation a
difficult one. because the control of af-
fairs does not rest altogether with the
cabinet of the Young Turks, but partial
ly with the powerful committee of Young
Turks outside the cabinet. The cabinet
and the committee appear to be divided
i'll their views.
Official opinion in Berlin leads to the
belief that there will be no war. inso-
much as the change in the relations be-
tween Bulgaria and Turkey is merely
paper change. No material interests
Will be involved provided Bulgaria gives
up her control of the oriental railroad
in eastern Roumelia. as now seems prob
able. Germany continues her attitude Of
reserve. She would not oppose a con-
ference of the powers for the revision of
the treaty OF Berlin if such a conference
Were desired by the other powers.
