The Political Outlook

THE political outlook throughout the world has brightened somewhat during the last few days. The latest reports from the Far East indicate the probable suppression of the recent revolution, with the prospect of more settled conditions throughout China. Cable despatches from Bucharest, where the Balkan Peace Commission has been in session for several days, state that a treaty of peace between the Balkan allies was concluded August 6. By this treaty Bulgaria will fall far short of the realization of her hopes, in the matter of territorial extension. Following this treaty the powers have made formal demand of Turkey for the evacuation of Adrianople, and for the recognition by her of the territorial boundary established by the London treaty. The situation in Mexico remains practically unchanged. Ex-Governor Lind has been despatched to Mexico as the personal representative of President Wilson in an endeavor to secure the pacification of the country. Conditions have engendered much war talk throughout the country, and the nations generally are watching the outcome with keen interest.
