FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
BY H.. IRVING KING
CONGRESS OF BERLIN, 1873.

BY H. IRVING KING

Some one somewhere remarked that
the eastern question would perplex
mankind until the day of judgment.
Those fragments of nations which
strew the Balkan peninsula are so di-
vided in race, language and traditions
that they dwell side by side in n
state of constant discord and belliger-
ency. no one race being able to as
simulate the others-a melting pot in
which nothing melts. but which Is in
constant state Of ebullitiOn.
In 1879 the idea of pan-Slavisn had
become strong sentiment in Russia.
Pan-Slavism in Russia was answered
by a revival of pan-Islamism In Tur-
key. Russian agents were everywhere
in the peninsula stirring up the Chris
ttan populations and the Mussulman
reaction and the increased tyranny of
the porte still further excited the peo-
pies already stirred by pan-slavist
dreams.
Uprisings began; Serbia declared
war on Turkey; Montenegro and Alba
MIA flew at each others throats; the
powers intervened and there were con-
ferences. protocols and armistices,
while the Turks put down the upris-
ings and defeated the Serbians and
Montenegrins with great slaughter.
The uprising in Bulgaria was put down
by the Turks with such cruelty that
the Bulgarian massacres" stirred all
Europe. Turkey remained deaf to the
proposals Of the concert Of Europe"
Declared War Against Turkey.
The patience of the czar was ex-
haustcd. On April "a, 1877, he gave
orders for his armies to cross the
Turkish frontier and declared war
against Turkey. He had previously
concluded an alliance with Roumania
by which the Russian armies had the
right of passage through that country
and the Roumanian army was to coop
crate with the army of Russia. Eng
land had acquiesced in the Russian
move, provided the czar did not occupy
COnStnntinOple or the DurdnnelleS,
let Egypt alone and recognized the
neutrality of the Suez canal. Austria
had been appeased by secret pact
with regard to Bosnia and Herzegovina
and by the vision dangled before
her of an outlet on the east to
the Aegean sea at Saloniki. The os-
tensiblc object of the war was to
force the porte to put into operation
under European superintendencc his
promised reforms and to secure the
autonomy Of the subject states.
The Russians crossed the Danube in

Turks at Aladja Dagh in Armenia In
| October and took Kars by storm In
November Plevna fell in December
and the Russian army passed through
the Balkans. and advanced to the out
skirts Of ConstantinOple. On March
3. 1873, treaty was signed at San
Stefano. a little port on the sea OF
Marmora between Russia and Turkey.
Gar Was Frightened.
All the Balkan peoples. except the
Bulgarians. broke out into tempest
of protest upon the news of this treaty.
Austria, who saw her dream of reach
ing the Aegean gone glimmering and
; even her control Of Bosnia and Herze-
gOvina shared by Russia. voted Co.
OOO. 900 gulden for war purposes and
prepared to seize upon Bosnia. Eng
land called out the reserves. and Dis
raeli startled Europe by bringing In
dian troops to Malta. The British
fleet steamed into the sea of Mar
mora and lay near Constantinople.
The concert Of Europe" demanded
that the treaty be submitted to con-
gress of the powers. The coalition
of Europe against him scared the czar
and he consented. The congress OF
Berlin. therefore. met June 13, 1873.
Before attending the congress Disraeli
made secret pact with the sultan by
which England acquired complete con-
troll of Cyprus. The congress lasted
until July 13. Bismarck presided and
Disraeli, Gorchakov the Russian. and
Andrassy the Austrian were the prin-
cipal figures. Gorchakov and Dis
raeli fought each other tooth and nail.
Once the Russian created sensation
by gathering up his papers and start
ing to leave the council room. At an
other time Disraeli startled the dele
gates by ordering special train to
take him to Calais. When the Cyprus
convention came to light the diplomats
felt that Disraeli had tricked them.
That night he attended reception.
AS he entered silence fell upon the
angry buzzing of the assembled states
men. Disraeli understood.
"Of what are you thinking? asked
the Princess Radziwill."
~ am thinking of nothing" he re-
piled II am enjoying myself"
| The treaty as finally signed by the
congress provided that Bulgaria should
not extend south Of the Balkans and
the military occupation of Russia was
| reduced to nine months.

Turkey. which still claimed Greece as
Turkish province in spite of the con-
vention Of Lond',n. The sultan, natur-

Navarino. declared all treaties at an
end. and the ambassadors Of the three
powers left Constantinople. Russia
declared war against Turkey in April
of 1928. A French army occupied the
Morea. but otherwise England and
France remained idle spectators of the
war which ensued.
Russian Armies Successful.
The Russian army crossed the Pruth
in May, but winter came and they
were still unable to pierce the Balkans.
The next summer however the Rus
SLAMS passed over the mountains and
appeared before Adrianopie, which at
once surrendered. A Russian army
fighting in Asia had also been success
full. Russia had entered European
Turkey with 10000 men. but only 49,
900 of them reached Adrianople, and
those so worn with battle and disease
that they could neither advance nor
retreat, while between Adrianople and
Constantinople the sultan had 10000
fresh troops. Nevertheless. the czar
had boasted that he had 100000 men
to loan his friends and million and
a half to fight his enemies and rumor
exaggerated the force of Russians be-
fore Adrianople to 10000. Turkey was
practically "bluffed" into signing a
treaty, which she did at Adrianople on
September IA. 1929. recognizing the in
dependence of Greece and granting to
Russia freedom of navigation of the
Black sea, the Danube and the Oar
danelles. and confirming and extending
the protectorate Of the czar over the
Danubian principalities. The Turkish
and Egyptian troops in Greece with

Lady MurieI Paset Tells of Urgent
Food Needs Of Millions Of
People.

Paris.-A woman has been entrusted
with the big task of organizing and
administering relief work in one of
Europe's new states-Czecho-Slovakia.
Lady Mur.el Paget, an Englishwo-
man whose devotion to the Czecho- Slo-
yak cause Is well known, arrived here
from Prague after months tour
of the new republic, and outlined
to the Associated Press correspondent
her scheme for the relief Of that coun-
try. Her plan, which has the approval
of the Czecho-Slovak authorities. is to
enlist body of able and willing social
workers to train the women of CzechO-
Slovnkia In social welfare work. Her
ambition is to interest patriotic, Czech
women in America in the welfare of
their native land.
"There are, roughly. 5,OOO,OOO people
in Czecho- -Slovakia today who have just
enough to keep body and soul togeth-
err" Lady Muriel said. Against these
who may be described as the rural
population. there nre 1.OOOOOO who are
below the line of bare existence. They
are, broadly speaking, the Industrial
and mining population.

now coming into the country through

Lomb company of Rochester, N. Y.
which beginning with capacity of
1900 pairs of field glasses a year in
1914 had reached an output Of $500
pairs week in November, 1918, and
was then aiming toward an output Of
$500 pairs a week by January, 1919.
Similar expansions Of facilities were
necessary in many other plants. The
requirement of the forces In France
for the six-power artillery glass alone
was approximately 100000 pairs and
100000 pairs were shipped from the
United States.
Motion-PIcture Photography.
The report devotes considerable
space to discussion of the progress
made in Inotion-picture photography
during the war. BY these means. 1t
Is pointed out, the signal corps has
created "a new kind of history Of the
war, a history written entirely in pic
lures for future generations to scan."
Carrier pigeons, never before en-
ployed extensively in the American
army, We're widely used in France.
More than $4,000 were purchased and
trained for that service ana the re-
port adds that 'in actual use on the
field the pigeons delivered more than
95 per cent of the messages intrusted
to them. flying safely through the
heaviest shell and gas barrag0s.'

which the Maine men remaining in
Congress gave of their effort in put

comparison with the contest at the
previous reapportionment, although
in the Senate the bill was delayed by
Senator Lafollette and aroused some
opposition because it opened up the
matter of redistricting in some of the
states. However it had good start
in the committee. of the sixteen men,

states that would have lost repre-

finally passed the House April 81,

following August.
It will be recalled that the in
crease in Names population during
the decade, 1900 to 1910. was from

not probable that it will materially

the lines that is of chief interest.
Mr.. Gilmore says: Prohibition in

assertion Of the booze interests that
prohibition only destroyed the goody,
