dependence Of Greece was acknowledg
ed In 1929 and that of Servla-as q
tributary principality-in 1880.
Then came the Crimean war, but 1t
brought no territorial changes.
The great breakup took place in 1864
BY the treaty of San stefano, conclud
ed that year. the Turkish possessions
In the Peninsula were reduced to Al
bania. Epirus. Thessaly and the south
ern part Of Thrace. A large Bulgarian
principally WAS created, extending
from the Danube to the Aegan and
from the Black sea to the River Drin.
POWERS INTEREST kiNDLED
About this time the great powers of
the world began to take an active in
terest In the changes. Anticipating
that Bulgaria would become a Russian
dependency, they refused to sanction
the provisions Of the San Stefano
treaty. The upshot Of this was the
treaty of Berlin. which limited the
new principality to the country be-
tween the Danube and the Balkans,
curtailed the Montenegrn frontier and
restored big tracts of the appropriated
territory to Turkey. Servia, on the
other hand, was considerably enlarged
as result of the treaty With these
changes the complete Independence of
the principalities of Servia. Roumania
and Montenegro was recognized. The
claims of Greece. which had been ig
nored at San Stefano, We're admitted
at Berlin. much to that country's ter
ritorial gain.
Noumania was proclaimed kingdom
in 1881 and Servia during the follow
ing year. Following a naval demon
stration by the powers in 1880. Dull
cigno was given back to Montenegro
by Turkey. In compensation the Otto
mun empire got the districts of PLAYA
and Gusinye.
Europe sanctioned the union Of Bull
garia and eastern Roumelia in 1856.
Crete was Withdrawn from the Turk
sh administration in 1887 and the
Greco-Turkish war of that year was
| followed by the cession to Turkey of
several strategical points on the Thes-
salian frontier.
Four wears ago Bosnia and HerZego-
vina were annexed to the dual mon
archy. and Bulgaria was proclaimed an
independent kingdom.
FREQUENT PREDICTION
1t often has been predicted that n
coalition of the Christian Balkan states
| would ultimately come to pass, result
! ing in the formation of these states
| into a cemented whole. When trouble
arose with Turkey 1t was announced
that Bulgaria. Servia and Montenegro
were understood to have perfected an
alliance with Greece to force their de-
mands upon the Ottoman empire. 1t
was suggested in early dispatches that
main united after the trouble was over,
although this Is doubtful.
King Nicholas L.. who hastily declar-
ed war when his ultimatum was IL
nored by Turkey in his proclamation
to tlIe Montenegrin people, explained
his reasons for hasty action thus:
Montenegro had hoped to obtain the
liberation of the Serbs in Turkey with.
cut the shedding of blood. but peaceful
endeavors proved unavailing. and nc
other recourse was left but to take UT
the sword on their behalf.

there been such interest manifested
in an annual school election as that
which occurred here Saturday after
noon, when an attempt was made To
elect three members of the Board of

contest was to elect such men as
would in some way endeavor to re-
adjust matters so that the present
supervising principal. of the Dover
Public School, Alexander Crawford
should be retained principal, not
withstanding the fact that the Board
of Education in March last, elected
Professor George S. Messersmith,
principal OF the Lewes Schools, as
the supervising principal for next
year.
