mand of the resources of diplomacy
backed up by impressive exhibits.
On the other hand, at Berlin an
evidence of desperation is given IN
the rumors coming from that CAPT
tai of Russia being ready to make
conditions for a separate peace. There
IS not the slightest foundation for
these rumors. They are said to offset
the effect of the reversal Of German
arms upon the west front and the ap-
parent failure of German diplomacy
in the Balkans.
Such is dispassionate view of the
diplomatic situation as centered in
the Balkans. Should the developments
accord with the tendencies there will
be due the wilest credit. to the Brit
ish for adroit control of the situation
when the prospects of the Allies IN
the Balkans was gloomiest.
