RouMANIA's SUPREMACY.

leapt itself" so that now King Ferdi-
nand is trying all costs to avoid
war with Turkey. Roumania seized her
opportunity ana compelled car Ferdi-

Bucharest
Thus Eoumania is delivered, at least
Tor tho time from the apprehension
with which the march'of the victorious
Bulgars VAS regarded, march which
might have issued i'm the dethronemcnt
of KnE Carlos state as the chief
power of the Balkans. BY the limits
imposed upon Bulgaria and the addi-
lions to her own territory granted in
treaty OF Bucharest, Roumania puts
ner rival into the rear and checks her
advance. Roumania will now have a
population Of nearly 100000 against

has but i.5oo,oO0 and Scryia 10000
The country which did not go To war
With the Turk has the prestige of do
ing what the European concert could

strengthens her position nightly be-
fore the powers. But animositiea have
