what he considered the spread Of a
revolutionary spirit, called upon the
other powers to interfere and prom

Prussia massed her troops on her west
ern frontier and France announced
that any movement Of Prussian troops
into Belgium would be met by sim
liar movement on the part Of the
French. A conference Of the five great
powers was then sitting In London to
settle the question Of Greece. France
proposed that the Belgian question be
submitted to the conference. The
Polish Instruction. which now broke
out. gave the Gar all he could attend
to at home. Austria was harassed by
the Italian question and Prussia was
fully occupied In guarding her eastern
frontiers. So England and France
were allowed to have their way, which
was the way of Belgian independence.
Failed to Settle Trouble.
The congress Of London issued sew

tiers but failed to do 50. One STUN

land refused to give up and Belgium
claimed; deputies from that duchy sit

The boundaries which those chronic
dIsturbers of the peace, the Balkan
states, had before the recent world
war were established to them by the
treaty of Bucharest signed at the
Roumanian capital on August 9, 1913,
by representatives of the said states
and Greece. That treaty closed two
wars, practically. one in which the Bal
kan states were united in fighting Tur
key and one In which they were fight
ing among themselves. By 1910 the
Bulgar and Greek bands In Macedonia,
which had been quite as likely to mas
sacre each other as to massacre the
Turks, had got together for the pur-
pose of devotlng all their efforts
against the common enemy. Then
trouble broke out in Albania and the
Serbians sent their irregulars to help
the Albaulans against the Turks.
It was the same old story Of the Bal
kans being "aflame" again. In March
of 1912 Greece, Bulgaria, Montenegro
and Serbia came to an understanding,
agreeing to bury their mutual animosi-
ties temporarily and combine against
the Turk. Roumania stood aloof. The
Porte, alarmed, promised reforms In Al
banla and Macedonia. Turkey also an
nounced that she would hold army ma
neuvers near Adrianople.

The great powers began to "diplo-

and Austria declared that the status
quo In the Balkans must be main
tanned, and Austria modified her
army. But the wild nations of the
Balkans had got >out of hand, and
little Montenegro, on October 8, 1912
declared war against Turkey. On Oc'
tober II Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia
issued a joint declaration to the same
effect. A Bulgarian army of 100000
men occupied Mustapha Pasha on Oc'
tober 10, Klrk-Kilisseh on the oath and
invested AdrIanople on the 9th. Two
days later was fought the sangulnary
battle of Lule Burgas, the chief battle
of the war, with front of % miles
