SULTAN S MOVE

It should be said in regard to the Balkansituation that the Sultans decision to taketent advantage of Russias embarrassment

resent Bulgaria many aggressionsIs not without support among Europeanobservers The provocation to luch actionhas certainly been strong It i

that he prefaces it by nullifying theMacedonian reforms to Which ho had proviously greed

He accomplishes this in a characteristicmanner He notified the Powers thatIhe Italian General Georges whom theyselected to reorganize gendarmeriemust not higher rank or authoritythan the senior German officer in the permanent Turkish employment This meansthat Turkey accepts his strictly pro-fessional services under tho direction ofTurkish Provincial Governors therebystrangling all hope of administrative reforms from without

Moreover it may lead the BulgarianGovernment and the revolutionary leadersto change radically their attitude towardthe Powers which signed the Bflrlin treatyThe Bulgarian representative in London

saysOur position is now one of absolute de-

pendence on the European concert Afterthe LamsdorffGoluchowski conference InOctober the Powers warned Turkey andBulgaria that neither would be allowedto reap the benefits of a war and deliveredspecific assurances to Bulgaria that Turkeywould not be allowed to attack

BULGARIA APPEALS TO ENGLAND

It is this last assurance that the Powersfind impossible to enforce The Bulga-rian representative had a long interviewwith the Marquis of Lansdowne on thissubject this afternoon Admittedly thodiplomatic situation is rendered practicallyhopeless by the Met that Russia the senior-of the two Powers to which the concertintrusted the carrying out of Its policy insoutheastern Europe is not regarded nowto be In an effective executive positiondespite her declaration that her presentwar will not alter her vigilance in theBalkans

Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria again today appealed to the Powers to maintain thestatus quo and to avert host titles England-was particularly appealed to with thostrong suggestion that it exert the utmostrestraining influence at Constantinople

Tho Bulgarian representative has keptLord Lansdowne informed of tho Sultanswarlike preparations The situation Is

now so serious that even If the Porte de-

sired to restrain the impatience of its sub-jects it would be difficult as tho Mussulmanidea has taken within tho poet fortnightthe moat aggressive1 mood

From Sofia come Government despatchesdeclaring the fear thattho frontier will beviolated ab any moment Prince Ferdinands Ministers are so nervous that theyhave urged England to send warships to theBoaphorus as an effective means of curry-ing the promlso of the Powers that

not be allowed to attackWith England and France In full accordthere seems to be no reason why the Balkan

Jut cornea tihould not bo as effect velytotaled as the Far Eastern conflict

it is perfectly true speaking broadlythat the events of the past fortnight havealtered the political conditions of the

world Several great Powers mustreconsider and perhaps revise their policyThere are already signs that the grouping-of nations will bo rearranged-

It Is natural that such a fundamentaldisturbance should Rive rise to nervous-ness and hut sound reasonsfor such a panic of despondency as waswitnessed in some quarters notexist No such cataclysm of nations ashas been hinted at is in sight or threatcued

tendedIt i said that certificates of stock in other
