The effect of a demonstration of
the military forces of the Balkan
states is first to be tried For this
purpose Bulgaria, Seryia, Greece and
Montenegro have offered the mobiliza :
ton of their entire available armies
and If this open threat does not Sc
cure what they demand from the OF

may see further steps taken.
The four states of the new Balkan
alliance are rapidly organizing to act
together in arms for the first time
against the common enemy-Turkey.
The Ottoman authorities are no less
busy while it is seen from dispatches
from Vienna that Austria will find it
impossible much longer to refrain
from taking military precautions IN
order to keep the Servians from en-
croaching of territory which Austria
Hungary insists must remain part Of
Turkey and not become an adjunct of
greater Servia.

ers might easily be drawn into this.
From some of the European cap
itals reports have reached here that
men have already crossed the FROM
tiers and begun fighting but these
entirely lack confirmation. 1t is like
~ that the reports are based on some
of those clashes between frontier
guards which have been daily oe-
enrrence in recent months.
The only bright feature is that the
Balkan states seemed inclined to give
the great powers a little more time In
which to try 10 induce Turkey to intro

1t Is reported. today. that they intend
TO send a collective note to Turkey ex-

AS they necessarily must await reply
to this note, the ambassadors of the
great powers IN Constantinople viii be
able further to impress the Porte with
the advisability of granting their de-
mands.
The Porte must. in the meantime. how
ever, deal with two notes. both of which
are practically ultimatums. One OF
these is from Servia and demands the
elease of Servian ammunition which has
been retained in transit through Tur-
key. while the other is from Greece and
protests against the detention of Greek
shipping which Turkey has decided to
hold up and utilize for the transport of
her troops.

London. Oct. 2.-The Balkan crisis
is, today, being closely watched by
Great Britain as well as by every
European power. All eyes are turned
to the frontier where troops are as
sembling in hundreds of thousands.
The neglected demand by the Bal
kan kingdoms, that Turkey improve
the conditions prevailing among her
Christian inhabitants in Macedonia
and Albania. which was the cause of
the present tense situation, has been
almost lost sight of in the distrae-
ton of gathering armies. The Euro
pean governments now are mainly
concerned in weighing the chances OF
the participants in an eventual con-
tlict All the military authorities here
appear TO agree that the Turkish
army is a powerful fighting force. At
the same time they do not disparage
the military qualities of the Bulgarian,
Seryian. Greek and Montenegrin
armies.
Roumania, it is pointed out, may
take a formidable part should hostI-
tiles take place. for If she throws in
her lot with Turkey as has been hint
ed, Bulgaria will be caught in a trap
between two powerful opponents.
Meanwhile the representatives of
the Powers at constantinople and in
the Balkan states are strongly advis-
ing the maintenance of peace.
If the Balkan states have in view
some idea of autonomy for Macedonia
they can be informed Immediately
that this is out of the question. was
the reply of a representative of the
Turkish embassy Ia an inquiry as 10
what Turkey was willing To do to APP
pease those who are threatening her
with war.
The official pointed out that Turkey
had decided to apply to the Whole OF
European Turkey the reforms already
introduced in Albania. The Porte, he
said. realized that reforms We're need
ed but their application could not be
carried out in minute. Unless the
Balkan states. he continued, We're
merely seeking a pretext for trouble
their only course was to allow rea-
sonahle time for the reforms to go
into effect Turkey. he added. sincere
ly desired peace and had given evil
dence of this when Adrianople ma
neuyers We're countermanded. She did
not, however, remain inactive while
her neishbnrs We're modifying their
armies on her borders.

trial by combat, the question of
