Armistice and International Tensions
By Editor
tice has been agreed to, signed by representatives of Turkey on the one side, and for the allies by Bulgarian representatives on the other. Conditions of armies are to remain as at the time of agreement. All the proposed peace terms which have been reported are more or less guesswork. The armistice, or agreed cessation of hostilities, is for the purpose of discussing peace proposals. The differences between Austria and Servia are still on the nerves of Europe, but it is believed that an understanding will be reached without war. There has been much of guesswork and conjecture and imagination in the reports, censored and uncensored, which have reached us on this side the water, and it is not to be wondered at when we take into consideration existing conditions. Let us hope and pray that peace may come and better conditions follow. Russia's attempt to seize Mongolia during China's civil trouble is not to be acquiesced in peaceably by the Chinese republic. She has repeatedly demanded that Russia withdraw, and now she is preparing to enforce if possible her demands by war. It would seem that the European powers ought to support China's demand.
