ALL EUROPE IS STIRRED UP
War Is Likely TO Result-Kaleidoscopic
Revolutions in European
Politics.

London, Oct. I'm the ancient cap
ital of Tirnove the independence of
Bulgaria was proclaimed yesterday,
with the car of the Bulgarians as a
ruler. Car Of the Bulgarians is rec
ognized TO mean more than car of
Bulgaria. because it is a distinct init
nation that he regards his country as
having sovereignty over all the peo-
pie Of that blood In the East. Within
a day or two Austria-Hungary which
has been working with Prince Ferdi-
nand in this ~preconcerted plan, will
proclaim the new status of Bosnia
and Herzegovina.
Does II Mean War?
The question which has been stir
ring the whole of Europe more deep
ly than any similar question in the
memory of the present generation is,
does it mean war? From all the CAPT
tails come reports indicating that it
means. first of all. another European
congress of the signers of the treaty
of Berlin to consider the situation
and probably to revise the treaty.
Turkey, caught in a moment of weak
ness. is the victim Of this situation,
and while some internal animosities
have been stirred up, probably no
power is willing TO make war.
Will Swallow Bitter Pill.
Reports from the emancipated
Turkish press to London indicate that
the Young Turks" will swallow this
bitter pill as best they can, and if
they do, naturally the Bulgarians,
while willing and eager for war, will
have no on which to base the
beginning of hosti'ities
From the British standpoint the
whole affair has been a surprise, and
more than a surprise. because for the
first time in years the British govern
nlent felt itself with apparently a
perfect understanding with France
and Russia and complete friendship
with Italy, to be in a position where it
dominated European politics, reserv-
ing out of this consideration the al
open enmity between itself and
Germany.
Great Britain Serves Notice.
Probably never in the history of
Europe have politics taken such
amazingly Kaleidoscope revolutions
during the past week. An entan-
Cling situation will come when the
signatories of the Berlin treaty meet
TO consider what action shall be taken
regarding the violations of the treaty.

The action of Prince Ferdinand In
