YOUNG TURKS AGAIN SECURE CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT
 AND DIPLOMATS GUESSING
MAY MEAN RENEWAL OF WAR
Both Europe and Balkan Allies Sur fprised at the Latest Move on the Part of the Willy Turk-Means
 Further Delay.

London, Jan. 23-To the ambassa- dors of the powers, who were congra- tulating themselves that the con cert of Europe cirtually had settled the near eastern war: to the dele gates Of the allied Balkan states and 10 all London except the Turkish plenlpotentiaries the news of the resignation of Kiamil Pasha and the appointment of Mahmoud Shefket Pasha to the grand yizierate came as a shock.
 whether this means war to a fin lsh with the Young Turks in the saddle or merely is another exhibi- tlon of the resources of Turkish dip- lomacy none can say; nor can any one definitely predict whether the powers will attempt to coerce Tur. Key into making peace, or stand as spectators while events take their course
 The Turkish delegates have cher ished the conviction that abandon ment of Adrianople by the ministry would bring a young Turk cabinet into power. The fact that Sheket Pasha has been appointed grand viz. iers while Talaat Bey, who is a prom lnent member of the young Turk committee and deputy for Adriano- Die has been made minister of the in- terior is significant
 The young Turks have labored for some time to regain power; their activity among army officers has been great and prominent soldiers Who recently returned from Tripoli and Joined the Tchatalia army are largely responsible for the reyulsion of feeling
 Whether the advent of the young Turk ministry means that the Otto mans will make a last fight with their backs to the wall depends upon the amount of support the young Turks are able to command in the army. should there be division of opin- ion as diplomats, acquainted with Turkey predict there will be. mili- tary revolt against the new cabinet Is in no wise improbable
 Delegates of the allies received the news with expression of anger xand sarcasm. Some offered the opinion that the Constantinople coup was prearranged comedy--that Shefket Pasba did not participate in the grand council because he knew he would succeed Kiamil Pasha. They chafe more angrily under each successive delay which will place their coun- tries more and more as they say in the power of the money lenders of the European bourses."
 And that is the condition they dread beyond all others as tending to undermine independence of their kingdoms. They cherish the hope and belief that if the war is resum- ed M. Sazonoff's recent declarations to the Turkish ambassador will en- sure Russias appearance on the stage in the role of active intervention. They think that Russian action would not lead to an European war, but re- suit in complete dismemberment of the Turkish empire.
 The beginning of the amendment on this subject is said already to exist among the powers which gradu- ally are gaining the idea that sup pression of Turkey would mean ex- tinguishing of source of constant disturbance to peace. Mohammedans as whole are not reluctant to ac- cept foreign and civilized dominion instead of chaotic Turkish govern ment. Still those delegates best ac- quainted with the Turkish system, think the latest move aims not at re- sumption of war. but to squeeze bet ter conditions from desperate situa- tion.
