Rumania’s Peremptory Note to Turkey
ONE of the latest incidents to call attention to the very unstable condition of peace in Europe is a preemptory note from the Rumanian government to the sultan, demanding the instant release of two Rumanian subjects who have been arrested, and held in prison in Turkey without trial. This peremptory note comes as the culmination of a long series of protests by the Rumanian minister of foreign affairs against high-handed proceedings on the part of Turkey, and the Rumanian populace are wrought up to a dangerous state of feeling. It is believed that several of the European powers support Rumania in its menacing attitude toward the Ottoman power.
