III Public Instruction. Shukri Pashz
! London, January A-Some days
must elapse before the situation aris-
ing from the revolution in Constants
nople becomes clear. As far as may
be judged. there is no intention on the
part of the new Turkish government
to force matters or to resume hos
tilities if any reasonable compromise
with the Balkan allies is possible.
! A dispatch from Constantinople
tonight says the Council of Ministers
sat to-day 10 discuss the reply 1t viii
make to the note OF the powers. and 10
is believed this reply. while insisting
on the retention of Adrianopje by Tur-
key. will point to Thursdays demon
stration as real manifestation of the
national will.
All Decline Place.
The new government Is finding diff
fculty in filing the post of Foreign
Minister The portfolio has been
offered to several of the Turkish am
bassadors abroad. but thus far all have
declined Until the ministry IS COM
pleted by the appointment of Sheik-
! Ul-Islam and q Foreign Minister It Is
hprobable that no definite steps viii be
| taker Developments in the situation
are awaited throughout Europe with
| the greatest concern. a. danger migns
arise through active intervention by
I Russia.
The Balkan delegates 70 the peace
conferences in London show no desire
for precipitate action They have
accepted the advice OF the am bassadors
| of the powers to await the reply of the
new Turkish government to the am
| bassadors' note before forming any
resolution as 70 their future procedures
Opinion among the delegates Is greatly
divided Some maintain it is useleos
to wait longer. in view of Developments
at Constantinopie. which are Considered
eloquent proof of the attitude the new
ministry intends to take. Others tske
the view that it is impossible for Enver
Bey to be taken seriously.
In addition, they argue that the
Young Turks. VINO lost power owing 10
the absolute unpreparedness OF the
country under their regime in the vas
with italy. cannot now have the sup
port of majority of the people. as the
same unpreparedness for which they
we're responsible has been further
demonstrated to exist in the war with
the Balkan allies
Think 1t Pity to Walt
Naturally the Young Turks, some OF
the delegates. say. have worked very
hard to regain power, Their activity
has been especially marked in tbs
army but il is not believed the bulk
of the army il ready to support them,
and these delegates think IL is not i'm
nossible that a counter-revolution will
undo whatever was achieved by the
Young Turks Thursday Those OF
the delegates who 90 not think IL wise
70 wait longer say they consider is .
pitv to let the present opportunity pass
without giving Turkey blow, taking
advantage of the confusion ensuing
bv reason of the revolution in Con-
stsntinople-
AS whole, however, the allies in
reply to the powers. and IL 1t Is unsafis-
