NO EUROPEAN
 WAR IS VERDICT
 OF POWERS NOW
WOnd erful Transformation Scene Takes Place, No One Knows How, in Short Time
But All Agree That Balkan Situation Still Requires Con- siderable Diplomacy to Avoid Clash

I Clash
 Then-minions Of people at once ap- parently appeared to be suddenly
 struck by the same thought: why, af- ter all, should we fight if we don't I want to?
 The Socialists throughout Europe
 took credit for the sudden revuleion of feeling The proclamation issued
 by, their international congress at Ba- accomplished it.
 Some of the English newspapers agreed that the change did indeed follow so soon after the proclamation's s 1 tween them.
 Military preparations of course con- tlnued. Some newspapers stuck to their claims that nothing can prevent an armed clash but they had lost their 1 effect on the public. The Vienna Tageblatt maintained that reports of an improvement in the situation were l nsseless that servia continued fierce

 The Vienna Reichpost used still l stronger ianguage asserting that Aus i tience,'' that the time has come to end the insolent provoca tions'' and that at last the measure is full.''
 Undoubtedly, international authori- ties said, there is party in Austria controlled by Archduke Francis Ferdi- l nand, the heir to the throne which wants war. An almost insurmountabIe obstacle in the way of fulfilment of it's wish ess however, 1t was pointed out, was Emperor Francis Josef's opposi- ton to hostiIities. The emperor of Germany was also given credit for ac- fcomplishing much to hold Austria back and for using his personal Influence

 NO EUROPEAN WAR.
 London, Nov. 26.-After several | weeks attack of homicidal mania in it's worst form, Europe awoke, today, completely restored to reason.
 Just what happened overnight no-I body could exactly understand. The were no developments in the inter national situation. People simply went to bed, last night, convinced that there would be war and got up, this not.
 The last editions of yesterdays afternoon newspapers breathed death and destruction.
 The morning newspapers, today, dweIt on the folly of the scare which, yesterday. had them as firmly in it's entire continent.
 It was still agreed, today, that the Balkan situation is one which will require considerable diplomacy. There have been war scares before but none for which there was so little reason. War scares have also fizz1ed before but none suddenly.
 Two agencies were blamed here, to- day, for the danger which it was be- lieved had been averted, though by a narrow naargin-diplo9macy and stock manipulators.
 The diplomats were not looked up- on as really serious factors. The re- ! cent view was that they were so a0- l / sorbed in their international chess game as to have lost all idea of what l :, a general European conflict would ! mean The market manipulators :. were accused of doing their utmost to frighten the public, regardless of :, for their own financial : benefit.
 The idea of war was not popular | with the European public There has [ been no outburst of martial enthusi- asrn anywhere. Gloom b1anketed tho s entire continent The common judg- 6 rnent seemed to be, however, that a little as anyone wanted to fight there . was no escaped from it.

 Germany, among other powers, was to be urging Turkey. t through the Kaiser's diplomatic rep q resen tative at Constantinople, to do t everything possible toward reaching n m agreement between the Balkan allies and permanently restoring f peace. Trouble of some sort-it was t not certain whether anti-foreign or t nti-government-was reported to p nave broken out at the Turkish 1 VI Aegean sea port of Dedeaghatach b The French cruiser Jurien was sent N here from Constantinople-
