LONDON. Nov. 9.-The clble day by
day has told Of the swift and almost
incredible success OF the Balkan States
in arms against their traditional foe.
This sweeping. lightninglike striking
Of the Turk has taken all Europe by sur
prise. even those Powers who have in
trigued with and supported the four
Balkan kingdoms in what the whole
world has considered their desperate
cast OF the dice.
To say that the great Powers Of Europe
find themselves utterly taken aback, ut
terly unprepared to face a situation
which they have never even dimly con-
templated. only family expresses the
truth. Even Bulgaria herself and her
three coadjutors are evidently more or
less staggered by their own success.
And herein lies the best justification
for the hope that the settlement which
must be made. and made before long, will
be effected without plunging Europe
into that Armageddon which for couple
OF generations has been foretold as in
evitably destined to be the outcome Of
the Balkan crash which has been for
years tho wolf. WOLF" fable OF European
politics.
1t has been for years a fascina ting
game for students OF international poll
tics to reconstruct the map OF Europe.
1t is more fascinating than ever just now
but 1t is not 80 safe proposition.
Hitherto the Powers of Europe have
been able and the whole world knew that
they were able to say "1he Balkans NAV
break out but we shall maintain the
status quo" To-day that same status
quo" is dead. The whole world recog-
nizes that and it is the one great fact that
emerges from this memorable month of
war. Nowhere has this / cen more fully
appreciated than in England-nowher
probably than in England was the rapid
crumplng up Of the Turk greater sur
prise, but nowhere was it more speedily
recognized and the interest shifted in a
moment from the doings on the bloody
battle fields to speculations as to what
could be done by the Chancellors OF
Europe to avoid an appalling multipli-
cation OF those fields of death.
Every one who has followed the tor
tuous course of European international
politics knows well what this and that
Power wants in this corner of Europe.
The crossing and recrossing of their
various interests is tale that has been
many times told, But there ia a new
situation. Its outcome remains obscure.

spirit Of optimism is justifable.

''Where is my manuscript? All,

three of the best friends a young
man ever had, the hope of the
Barclay family made a rush for
the railroad depot.
A year out of college, critic and
authority on ancient literature,
Adolphus was striving hard to
win the tutelary plum of Harris
college. It was a two thousand
dollars per year position, with
perquisites. In case he won it,
there would be a wedding, fam
ily removal, and he would feel
settled for life.
So far everything looked fa5
vorable. Adolphus had appeared
before the august college faculty
and had read his paper on Egyp-
tan poetry. He had made a hit.
It seemed as if his position was
assured. A few days later, how
ever, the president of Harris
wrote him to come down with
something bright and interesting,
and give the students a sample
of his ,erudition.
