BEGIN
IN THE BALKANS
Continued from first page.

| Turkish government is adopting q
more bellicose attitude, and the hope
| full tone induced by the delay in the
presentation by the Balkan states Of
! the ultimatum is counteracted by the
| tone of the note which the Porte has
presented TO the powers. The state
ment, indicating. as 1t does. that Tur-
key intends TO take her own course ir-
respective Of the advice Of the powers,
is one of considerable gravity.
1t Is a factor to the good so far that
| Rumania is remaining passive. Her
army will not be modified for the next
| three days, though events are being
closely watched. Alfred Stead defines
| the position clearly in stating that Ru-
mania has no reason to take action,
seeing that she seeks no territorial ag
| grandizement.
The Daily Mail" however says:
I'VE are informed that Rumania Will
mobilize to-day by desire OF the powers,
with view to maintain peace by
checking any move on the part Of
Bulgaria.
The Porte's note to the powers, re-
ferred to above is as follows:
I'm view Of the manifestly aggressive
attitude OF the Balkan States. Turkey
| reserves to itself full liberty OF action
convinced that the civilized world Will
not fail to do justice TO i;s moderate
attitude. But this cannot exclude care
for safeguarding its dignity and secur-
ity as well as its rights"
