(C. A. P. Gable), London, Oct. 2. The whole of the Balkan peninsula is being rapidly transformed into an armed camp. According to despatches from tho capitals of the Yarious states up- wards of a milliot men have been ordered to gather to decide once for all ins trial by combat the ques- tion of changing the conditions of the inhabitants of the European pro- vinces of Turkey, Vision of Force First. The effect of a demonstration of the military forces of the Balkan States is first to be tried. For this purpose Bulgaria, Servia, Greece and hold up and utilize for the transport of her troops. The thme for the reply to the Ser- vian note does not expire until to- night, so that even in this connection the ambassadors of the great powers have full day before them in which to press upon the Porte the advice of thelr yespectiye Forelgn Offices. Preparations Proceed For the present, however, prepara- tions are proceeding On all sides for war. According to- private telegram re- ceived fn London this, morning, the mobilization of the Turkish armies in Montenegro have ordered- the mobiit- Roumanta, which includes all the zation of their armies, and if this op- en threat does not secure what they. demand from the Ottoman Goyern- ment, the next few. hours may see further steps taken. The four states of the new Balkan alliance are rapidly organizing to act together in arms for the first time vagainst the common enemy, Turkey. The Ottoman authorities are no less) busy, while it is seen from despatches: from Vienna that Austria will find it impossible much longer to refrain from taking military precautions in order to keep the Servians from en- croaching on the territory which Aus- tria-Hungary insists must remain part of Turkey and not become an adjunct of Greater Servia. The slightest untoward. incident will start general conflagratiqn,-ac- cording to the prevailing opin on in diplomatic circles here and the great, powers might easily be drawn into it. jhave already er ssed the frontier and begun fighting, but these entirely lack confirmation, The reports ar Dased on some of th tween frontier bands Ww betn a daily occurrence in recent months. Diplomats Have Opportunliy. The cxily bright, prospect in the situation is that the Balkan. states are inclined to give the great powers a Uttle more time in which to try to induce Turkey to Introduce the re- forms demanded in Macedonia. It is reported today that they intend to send a collective note to Turkey ex- plaining the reasons for their action in mobilizing their armies, As they Slashes be- oh DAVE iat troops In Macedonia, besides these in Anatolia and Asia Minor, already be- gun, Thus the Balkan kingdoms have yery little start on her. Tur- key is looking also to Roumania to throw in her lot with the Ottoman troops in which case Bulgaria would find herself. sandwiched between two formidable foes and might be crushed. It also is conceivable, according to opinions expressed in well-Informed circles here, that the Albanians, for- getting their grievances against the Ottoman Empire; might assist the troops against Which they have been so recently fighting. With their army in 4 high State of efficiency and with the assistance of the Rouman- fans and the Albanians, prominent Turks believe they could defeat all, their opponents in detail or hold them off until they are worn out fin- ancially, London, Eng., Oct. 2. With the ex- ception of: Rouniania, all the Balkan les ure pincing thefr-armies on War footing, but no etep has yet been taken to cause an outbreak of hostilities, A despatch filed at Con- Stantinople announced that the Min- ister was without any communication from Bulgaria or Servia, and no def- inite move th the way of combined action on the part of the great pow- had be h made. Short of actual hostilities, how- ever, the situation could hardly be worse, The report that Italy has decided to seize all Greck vessels In Turkish waters has an especially war- lke: appearance, while it is further reported that Greece s also going to proclaim the annexation of Crete, an act which Turkey has repeatedly de- necessarily must await r xly to naa ESasaenios : oul this note, the ambassadors of the great powers in Constantinople will be able further to impress the Porte with the advisability of granting thelr demands, The Porte must in the meantime, how ver, deal with two notes, both of which are practically. ultimatams. One bf these Is front Servia and de- mands the release of Servian ammu- nition which has been detained in transit through Turkey, while the other is from Greece, and protests against the. detention of Greek ship- ping which Turkey has decided to for war, The Free Press of Vienna express- es doubt as to whether the great powers are in harmony regarding the Balkan question, It considers the action of the Balkans as a defeat of Wuropean diplomacy and thinks that Servia is so devoted to Russia that she would not have ordered mobili- gation without Russia's consent. Peace depends largely on the at- titide of Raumania, according to the Constantinople. correspondent of. the 'Daily Telegraph and much import- Would Prefer Defeat To Such A Success Sir Wilfrid Tells Peterboro Audience That Conserva- tives Won By Appeal to Prejudice, x WILL DO BATTLE CAIN Chas.
