BALKAN SITUATION
|SCALLED REPE[LENT
British Prime Minister Warns
Turkey of AdrianopIe Course
in Banquet Speech.

BIRMINGHAM, England. July 80 The
tacle presented by the Balkan states as
"disheartening and repellent" in a speech
at the chamber of commere centenary
banquet here last night. On the one
hand, he said, were the Balkan states
drenching with one another's blood the
territory their united efforts had freed
from Turkish rule; the other hand
was Turkey, disregarding the treaty of
London. on which the ink was scarcely
dry, and taking the advantage Of the diff
ferences between her late enemies to re-
cover her lost territory.
The powers, continued Mr.. Asauith.
We're doing everything possible TO bring
the disputant to peaceful confer
ence. 1t seemed likely that such a con-
ference would take place.
I'VE believe" he added. that it must
result in the immediate suspension of
terms of which, with g. view to what has
happened. the great powers must and
will preserve their own Judgment.
Suffragettes Are Demonstrative.
The prime minister warned Turkey that
If she were ill-advised enough to set the
provisions of the treaty of London at
defiance she must be prepared for the
introduction of questions which it would
be by no means to her interest to bring
into the debate.
Squads of police defeated the efforts of
suffragettes to mob Premier Asquith by
clearing the streets in the neighborhood
of the banquet hall before lie entered.
Hostile crowds chased the suffragettes
wherever seen, forcing them to take
refuge in shops and Offices.
The women. however succeeded in
smashing several windows of the hotel
where Mr.. Asquith is staying. Six of
