The Balkan Situation

Just as we are going to press, the Balkan peace delegates have broken off negotiations, and say that war will be resumed in four days. After receiving the note announcing the termination of their council, Rechad Pasha said:
“The consequences may be of the gravest nature. The responsibility lies not alone with the allies, but with the powers, who encouraged the Balkan States and have shown no fairness toward Turkey, altho before the war they had proclaimed solemnly the principle of the unchangeability of the status quo.”
In a speech at the Teutonic Club's annual dinner in honor of Emperor William's birthday, the German ambassador to Turkey gave notice to all concerned that Germany's attitude would be, “Hands off all the Turkish possessions in Asia.”
The war-pot continues to boil stronger and stronger, but an unseen hand is holding things so that the seething volcano of strife can not break out. God, in His prophetic Word, has given the definite promise that in this very time when the nations are “angry” and are preparing for “Armageddon,” He will hold the winds of war till all the world has the opportunity of hearing the welcome news that Jesus is about to come to this earth the second time.
