has not given up hope that King Fer
dinand is searching for some ground TO
enable him 20 give satisfaction to the
powers without risking his own crown
A semi-oficial note reiterates that
the accord OF the powers Is such that
even IL war breaks out It Is sure to be
localized. This doubtless is designed TO
allay anxiety that might have been
aroused by q pessimistic review OF the
political situation in Europe published
In the conservative journal des De-
bats"
The Journal warns France against
weakening her military strength at
home by sending troops to Morocco and
other colonies. The opinion Is ex-
pressed by the paper that the war will
engulf the entire Balkan Peninsula, be-
cause 1t was decided upon not only by
the Balkan States, but also by sew
eral great powers"
Whether the Balkan States win or
lose, the situation is perilous for Eu-
rope II they win, nothing can stop
the allies from Selling the territorial
spoils Of war; II they lose. Russia could
never abandon her Slav brothers OF
the south. In any case, the journal
argues, the peace Of Europe is endan-
gered.

The French government has learned
through official advices that oefore inc
Russian and Austrian ministers maoe
their representations to the Montene-
grin government at Cettinje the Servian
and Grecian ministers had visited the

however, in vain, and it is generally
believed in diplomatic circles that Mon

The archives of the Bulgarian Lega-
ton In Constantinople have been handed
over TO the care Of the Russian En-
bassy there, according TO a news agency
dlspatch from the Turkish capital The
declaration of war by Bulgaria is be-
lieyed by the same correspondent to
be imminent.
The censorship IN Constantinople Is
very severe, and nearly all kilograms are
stopped by the authorities. A dispatch
dated October s, received at Kustendje'
Rumania, by the French semi-oficial
news agency from steamer in the
Black Sea, says that demonstrations by
students in Constantinople followed
the declaration Of wax by Montenegro.
The population of the Turkish capital
bitterly reproaches the Ottoman gov
eminent for its lack Of initiative in
pushing the war. There Is great dis
content in the army on this account,
and Mussulman feeling is running high.
Grave developments are feared.
