The Balkan crista Is now agitating- Eu
rope. "There'll be wer in the Balkans
In tha spring." was the favorite pre
diction of Torpenhow. war correFpond
"ent In Kir nix's famous "Light That
Failed." Accustomed to the cry of
"wolf," the governments of the old
world had forgotten the possibility that
the animal might appear. Recent events
have shown that the possibility exists.
To prevent It from developing Into re
ality all are striving to observe policies
based upon the same general principles.
. Fearful pf European Intervention, Tur
key Is pursuing a course which has
gained for her the outspoken admira
tion of soma of the highest officials of
Christian countries. Russia, unwilling
to add complications to a situation sur-
' charged with International dynamite. Is
keeping in check tha national lndlgna
' tlon arising from the assassination of
' two of her consuls who had been ac
credited to tha Turkish govemnment.
Torn by Internal dissension, Austria
must seek tha maintenance of the statu
quo. Germany Is aware that a move
b.y her In the Balkan region will arouse
Russia. Prance has not only commer

tated region, and for. their surer pro

- Great Britain understands tha abso
lute necessity of supporting ths "elek

Europe would not permit the aelaure of

, might be precipitated that could endan
rer tha maintenance of the saltan's rule
, west of tha Bosporus. -v
Arthur Balfour, premier of Great. Brit
i In, remarked In tb house of commons
ths other day that the attitude of the
Turks had been for tha moat part praise
worthy and- that the Christian' revolu
tionists had been rullty of greater ex
, cesses than their Mohammedan masters.
The explanation- lies In a statement In as
.official communication to the" power
made by Tewflh- Pasha, Turkish minister
for foreign affairs.
. 'The revolutionary movement Is to be-
gin." ha said, "with the burning- of Mus
sel man villages and - tha massacre of
their inhabitants In order to turn the
situation thus created to their own ac
count Strong- measures have been taken
to frustrate ths plots." .
A OhrurtUm Xesltates,
A Christian usually hesitates to ac
tept the word of an official represents -tlve
of tha Turkish government regard
ing the . Balkan situation, but In this
- Instance he would be fully justiQed in
doing; sp. , It Is the avowed ' determined
Intention of the leaders of the revolu
tionary movement to make existence Im
possible in. Macedonia,; in short, to bring
- about such a state of affairs that Europe
must Intervene. Because it would, con
tribute to the success of their plana, the
revolutionists would welcome a massa
cre of Christiana by Mohammedan
troops. Foll6wing the course they have
laid down, they will certainly, see. the
fulfillment of their wish. , .
The imperial troopa scattered through
put Macedonia are all Asiatics, belong
ing: to three classes of reservists the
Redif. Mustafa and Haven. The im
pecunious Turkish treasury is unabU
to grant them pay. A corrupt commis
sariat falls to furnish them with ade
quate food. In many cases they wer
called to arma leaving; their fields un
sown, and they face the prospect of a
hard winter during which their families
will be cold and hungry. The activity
nf the revolutionary hands forces them
to display a corresponding activity,
Troops Sob the Peasantry.
Any one pf these hardships, wpuld be
sufficient to try the temper or an Ameri
can eldier: all of them are "operating
to bring the Turk to a point where h
will let loose his irritation agalast the
principle cause of his present humilia
tion. To some extent his Irritation find
vent In and his wants are supplied by
thestmple. though officially condemned,
expedient of robbing the peasantry, and
In so doing he la, of course, adding to
the misery of the latter. But the Mac
edonian objects less to the confiscation
of his goods than he does to the visits
which detachments of troops pay to vll
uses suspected of revolutionary ten
dencies,. in . search of arms. It is the
lalm of those visited that barbarltlei
are often resorted to to compel the sur
render of arms or the payment of a sum
of money as an equivalent The peasant:
also lay stress upon the hardships In
flicted upon them by the action of the
government In requiring the settlement
of their taxes In one payment instead o
four quarterly Inetallmente as hereto
fore. Many could only raise the money
by high Interest bearing loans.
The money lenders have become ex
asperated by the prohibition to travel U
the big towns to make collections. J
hew army of tax gatherers, careless of
the susceptibilities of the people, has
added to the discontent by their methods.
The Mohammedan population should noi
be forgotten In considering the sltuatior
In Macedonia. Like the troops, the Mo
hammedans exhibited a self restraint
aa admirable aa It la surprising, es
pecially to thoae who anticipated that
they would exercise no forbearance. But
competent observers say there Is a
limit to the patience that has been dla
played and that they will take ruthless
vengeance when . the signal for action
la given.
Macedonia Hot a Tnit
Macedonia. Is, thus by no means unified
In behalf of freedom from Turkish rule.
Even the Christians are divided. The
Bulgarian peasantry which would nat
urally turn to Bulgaria Is lukewarm and
Is driven as much by fearaa by sym
pathy. The non-Bulgarians, composed
of many orthodox Bulgarians, Greek
and Hellenslng-Wallachs. ask the old
homely queatlon: "Is It Vise to Jump
from the frylngtpan Into the fire?" But
carta has a little sympathy for the
Greeks and others who refuse to be
come her cltlaens as the Turks have for
the Christians. The revolutionary com
mittee or the revolutionary general staff,
as It prefers to be styled, has sought the
support of the non-Bulgarians by rep
resenting that the movement Is designed
to obtain freedom and absolute equality
for all the races subject today to the
Turk. But the effort has been unavail
ing, for the Greeks and those associated
with them have remained neutral 01
have supplied the Turkish authorities
with valuable Information. The revolu
tionary general staff has retaliated by
murder.

revolutionary movement must conse
quently be regarded as general. While
those participating In It are active mnC

they are used more to the hoe than tc

Washington. Sept. It. Considerable
comment Is occasioned here by the pub
lloation of part of the advance sheets
of Premier Balfour's pamphlet on the
subject of "Insular Ffee Trade." While
it Is believed that England will hold to
the doctrine of free trade, she must
and will make a change in her fiscal
policy that she may bolster up a fast
declining export trade.
By Mr. Balfour's arguments It Is
gained that he la In accord with many
Of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's
suggestions, although never once In his
pamphlet does he mention Chamberlain's
name. '
Among other things he points out is
the fact that Great Britain Is at such a
disadvantage in competition with na
tlona with a protected tariff that she
suffers for the mistakes the free trade
advocates made more than a half cen
tury ago. Continuing he says: '
