In the Balkans.— Perhaps we ought to say, beyond the Balkans; for Turkey has submitted to the demands of the allies and yields Adrianople. The Grand Council of the Ottoman Empire considered the war hopeless, and will trust to the great dominant powers of Europe to save all she can in the little territory left in Europe and of the islands in the Aegean Sea. The allies are yet demanding from the defeated Turk an indemnity equal at least to the Turkish debts attached to the territories which they will annex under the treaties. The Turks have a potent argument against this, but this will probably be settled by the powers, who are the largest creditors. But this peace will not last long. There are many Christians in Asia Minor, and the cry will be, “Drive the Turk from Asia Minor.” Of course, this is not Christian; it is human, not humane, but belligerently, brutally, human. That is what war always is, and Armageddon waits the final struggle.
