LONDON PEACE CONFERENCE.

AS the time for the London peace conference
draws near there is distinct silvering of the
cloud that has overhung the Balkans and Swallowed
all Europe Diplomatists who but recently despared
are now hopeful that the contest between Turkey
and her allied opponents the peninsula may be
settled tremendously and the peril of anything like
open strife among the larger powers will be averted
So far as the Balkan States are concerned, the
London conference will present many snares and
difficulties They must contend not against Tur-
KEYS proverbial cunning in matters of diplomacy
but also against the temptation of falling out with
one another at the crucial moment There
matters over which the interests or ambitions of
the allied states likely to conflict. Serva, for
instance is now insstent upon having a port
the Adratic; this claim may not meet the approval
of her neighbers, and certainly it will be resisted
by Austria. Greece has thus far declined to ac-
cede to the terms of the armistice on the ground
that her particular wishes have not been followed.
Thus there are divers details which the Balkan
alliance might break asunder, unless its members
subordinate their individual aims to their common
welfare.
It is believed however, that the latter and wiser
course will prevail, and that they will meet every
Turkish scheme with united front In that event,
it is probable that the Ottoman government, after
parleying as long as it dares, will accede to most
of the Balkan claims The Turks will retain, no
doubt, considerable remnant of power at Constan-
tinope but indications that its real rule in most
of the peninsula will be broken. Certainly, it is
to be hoped that the practice of Turkish barbarities
in Macedonia and Thrace will be forever ended.
Throughout the lattef stages of the Balkan
hict the larger powers of Europe have exercised
prudence and moderation that bode well for peace.
Jingoism has been discounted and even discounte-
nanced. The relation between Germany and Eng
land are more satisfactory today than they have
been for many seasons past. The fruits of the
peace conference are evident even before, it has
begun. ss-.s.sss,..-s... ...La,....LB : .n.. a.
