War Preparations in Turkey and the Balkans
The despatches from London say that Turkey is preparing for a new military campaign on a prodigious scale. She is drawing reinforcements from Asia Minor to complete an army of 300,000 men that she proposes to use in the Balkan struggle. And in the meantime the Greeks and Servians have rejected the proposals of the Rumanians for a provisional armistice during the conference at Nish, and furthermore Greek troops are reported to have burned the buildings of the large settlement of American missionaries in the town of Bansko. Both the Old World and the New have their war broils that are chronic and that baffle every effort at pacification. These conditions are strikingly significant.
