Another European War Cloud.

A serious situation exists in the Bal
kans, where Bulgaria, Servia, Montene-
gro and Greece have all modified their
armies in anticipation OF hostitlities
with Turkey. Turkey has called a por-
tion of her army to the standards. Rus
STA, also. has ordered troops under arms.
Roumania alone holds a peaceful atti-
tude. The action of Crete in joining
with Greece against Turkey is very
significant Turkey is supposed to have
sued for peace with Italy and negotia-

lie developed.

Although the majority of the
matches have been played in the Tri-
State and Suburban League tennis
competitions, the interest in both is
well sustained. The Belmont Cricket
Club has retained first place in the
Tri-State competition since the begin
ming Of the season. but more firmly
intrenched itself by defeating Over
brook last Saturday on the latter's
grounds by matches to 1. Belheld.
Belmont's closest competitor, lost
considerable ground by dropping three
matches TO Trenton at Trenton, the
final score being TO g. The New
Jersey team was compelled TO de-
fault three matches through the ab-
sence of several members of their
team.
Il is by no means certain that Bel
mont will retain the championship,
as the season runs through Septem-
Der, and they have both OF their
matches with Belfeld yet 10 plav.
They are decided favorites at the pres
ent time. however.
