Turkey Blamed in Dispute.

London, Dec 5.-Turkey is playing her diplomatic cards with her usual skill and cunning. She has brought about split in the ranks of the Bal kan allies and is trying to induce Bull garia, Servia and Montenegro to cut Greece adrift and leave her to Turkey to deal with.
 There is profound distrust of Czar Ferdinand in Athens, while even in Bulgaria it is realized that he has so managed affairs that he has, all along, been fighting for his own hand with the aid of the loyal allies.
 The armistice terms are pointed to here as proof either that there is a secret understanding between Ferdi. nand and the sultan providing that Bulgaria shall profit at the expense of the allies, or that the Bulgarian mili- tary situation is far worse than Europe has been allowed to suspect.
 Greece and Servia are in position to give decisive help in completing Turkeys ruin, but Ferdinand prefers to treat for peace at the moment when Bulgaria seems to have done the lions share of the fighting and is entitled to the lions share of the spells.
 This new development is causing misgiving in European capitals, for if Turkey succeeds in bringing about a cleavage among the allies, she may. with the help of unsatisfied Roumania and the tension between Austria and Servia, regain most of what she has lost

Velopments. Whenever you see in

may be sure they are weighing the Peth-

Everybody gives different reasons for
the split. The Peths all declare that the
Tankhursts are so swollen with power

~ lightly, but face this truth your
selves! There is a terrible rift in suf-
fragette ranks, and nobody knows just
what will happen to the gallant stone
throwers and window breakers of Merrie
England.
When leaders fall out among them
selves followers get lost in the shuttle, and
militancy has met with its most serious
reverse. since the originators Of 1t in all
its varieties have agreed to disagree.
The burning question in London to-day
is not Are you a gist or gette?' but
Are you a Peth or Pank?"
For several years now the Pethick
Lawrences, Mr.. and Mrs, and the Pank-
hursts, mother and Christabel and
Sylvia. have worked in happy unity.
Together they have drawn women into
their joint organization, known as the
Womans Social and Political Union.
They have gathered to the fold the grave,
the gay, the aristocratic, the humble. the
fat, the lean. the old. the young. They
have marshaIled them like soldiers, in
spired and encouraged them to daring
deeds and desperate enterprises and eX-
horted them to rest not till the vote was
Won.
In the hands of the Peths and the
Panks were the reins Of the W. S. P. U.
They appointed officials, looked after the
funds, chose speakers, arranged the meet
ings, and, in fact. ran the whole show.
They were one happy family. with two
names, but a sole purpose.
Then, not long ago, out Of a clear sky
came a thunderbolt The Pethick Law
rences and the Pankhursts had had
downright quarrel, and all was over be-
tween them.
