after the teutons and Turks have
partly exhausted themselves in the
desert to the east of the Suez canal.
The British therefore, seemingly, do
not want to send a sufficient army in
to the Balkans to check the teutons
west of Constantinople. Italy is re-
luctant to contribute men to the Bal
kan campaign as long as the teutons
and Bulgarians keep out Of Albania.
France wants to reserve her soldiers
for the defense OF French territory,
and probably prefers that the British
troops be concentrated along the
western front rather than in the Bal
kans. But France does not care to
oppose Russia too openly; q Slav de.
bacle would be severe blow for the
French people who have invested
their money so heavily In Russia.
None Of the allied powers in fact
can oppose Russia with an entirely
easy mind, for despite all agreements
to the contrary, there must remain a
! feeling that the czar may be enticed
into a separate peace if an opening
| is given to the many German influ.
ences at the Russian court. A truly
united policy acceptable to all the
allies is in fact impossible. The best
possible result must be a compromise
| leaving misgivings behind, If not
