among the young Turks from dragging
th.elr country into the European im
broglio.

The events of the past 12 hours
shows that the Grand Vizier of Tur
key has made every effort to conciliate
the entente powers, hut the Influence
of his partisans in the Turkish cabinet
Is not believed to he great enough to
force the porte to meet the demands
for reparation formulated In the

Turkey actually exists and the reply
of the Russian foreign minister to the
opinion of London any hope for a
