4 New Napoleon

SOFIA, Nov. 1O.-The brief Balkan
war has given Europe new master.
The old world is looking to Sofia in
hope, fear suspicion, expectation. A
new Napoleon has arisen in the near
east. Surrounded by courtiers-the
trained masters of the arts of flattery
rushed post haste to this capital OF
previously ignored kingdom by the
great powers, France, England, Austria,
Germany. Russia, Italy-CZar Ferdi-
nand keeps a cool head. He is suave,
inscrutable to all-his mind, alert
analytical, intense. the sphinx which
the diplomats seek to interrogate in
vain.
Peace IN the near east is in slght. II
NAV come within "a or 4S hours, but
Europe shivers at the potential cost of
this peace.
All is well with the Balkan confed-
Grafton. Events are marching to their
inevitable conclusion. The allies are
knit together in a bond which seems
likely TO endure-to create a pistol
aimed at the hearts of the old KING
dom grabbers, Russia, Austria, prussia.
The peoples whose estates were par
titioned, whose nationalities were SUP
merged in the aggrandizement OF Rus
sia' and Austria, are now drinking OF
the waters of hope. Nurturing their stili
latent patriotic ferver through the
Nepenthe of a glorious kinship they are
hungering for the call Ito arms"
The war In the Balkans is almost
certain to be followed by CONFUSION
which will shake continental Europe
from the Rhine to Neva. The Poles are
stirring. The dreamland OF a new ana
greater Silesia is viewed in deadly
seriousness as the map of what once
was Turkey in Europe unrolls TO re-
ceive again the frontier lines or ola
Seryia, extended to the blue waters
where the ships of Ulysses and lxlon
unfurled their sails and bent their bold
sweeps to pass onward into I'M
mortality
The new power-the empire OF the
Ralkans-is being founded on holy
ground Every acre, every hill Is con
secrated by some deed done in the
civilization of man.
And in anticipation of the expected
coup and coronation at Constantinople.
Ferdinand of Bulgaria has invincibly
fortified the throne to which he was
called but a few brief years ago, ce-
menting it with the affections of his
people.
