EUROPE DEFENDS TURKS

Los Angeles Examiner: There would
be little difficulty in settling the Tur-
kish problem if it were not for the
intrusion into that problem of the sell
fish and sinister interests of two cd
tyrannies. Europe trembles today on
the verge Of a catastrophe that may
involve the whole continent, simply be-
cause it lacks the moral courage and
concord to set its foot upon the ex-
orbitant claims of Austria and Russia
The indomitable allies, whose victori-
wretched Turkish land from the Bos-
porus to the Adriatic, could settle the
"Near-Eastern question" for all time if
they were permitted now, without in
reference from the great powers, to
take possession of Constantinople and
the coveted port on the Adriatic sea,
which belongs to Servia by natural
necessity and historic right
But Austria says the conquerers of
lHe L uTk must keep away from the
Adriatic. And Russia says they must
not take possession of Constantinople
Austria draws hard to compel the
triple alliance to back it's bad course.
And the bad cause of Russia summons
the aid of the triple entente Thus the
four great progressive nations of
Europe-Germany and Italy, England
and France-are subpoenaed to sup
port the schemes of the two most re-
dictionary nations in Europe
Probably we shall know this week
which way the tide of European des-
tiny is to run. We shall see whether
the Turkish problem is to be definitely
solved by the elimination of the Turk.
or whether, on the contrary, the Turk
is now to put a climax TO his five
hundred years of devastation, by plung-
ing all Europe into inextricable con-
fusion and an abyss of war
