The Outlook for Peace in Europe
By Editor
IN an article in the last Independent, entitled, "Bulgaria and Europe," George Washburn, D. D., President of Robert College, Constantinople, gives a summary of the Bulgarian question, showing how unsettled it is at the present time, and the advantage which Russia has gained in the case, and closes thus:— "If the Greek question is settled, there is no reason why we should not anticipate at least one more year of peace in Europe. If war begins in earnest between Turkey and Greece, no one can say where or when it will end." With no certainty of an amicable settlement of the difficulty, with the certainty of a terrible war in case it is not soon settled, and with no reason to anticipate more than a year of peace in case it is settled, it does not seem that the prospect for peace in Europe is very flattering.
