Near East Considers North Sea Alti
tude a Oackdown.
London, Dec. 8. Alfred Blend, who
ban Just roturnod from an extended tour
of the Near Kast, whero be camo In
close touch with thoao directly con
cci ed with tho future policies of tho
llalkan states, said to tho Associated
Pieaa today:
"llrltlsh preatlgo baa received a "se
vere blow in tho Kalkans, consequent
upoH what is there supposed to Imj a
diplomatic victory for Kuasla i;i the
Dogger bank affair. This feeling has
k-eii created largely by colored dis
patchen repre-cntlng that there was a
llritiah backdown. The direct reanlt
liaa been largely to reitore waning con
fidence in Kti'sla."
Mr. Hlead raya bo found Itoumanlann
rejoicing over Ituaaia'a defeats In tho
Far Kast, and Ilulgarlans and Hervinna
Ix-glnnlng to oclleve it was lime to look
for another protector. He says tho
Turks were delighted, and even allow
ing an attitituda of defiance toward
Itnsla.
"A month ago," Mr. 8tad says,
"Great Britain could havo dictated tho
jvollclea of the Near Kast atatea, but
today a attong reaction has set in."
In the cotirro of his tour Mr. Htiad
waa received in audience by King
Peter, of Servln; Prmcu Ferdinand, of
Huigaria, and King Cliarles, jf Ron
mania. Hu Hays all three of these
mnnnrt'hs discussed the poeslkillties of
a defensive alliance of the three coun
tilea. While their vlewa were ex
prested with thu utinoet caution, it was
plain Mich an alliance was uppermost
in their minds. It is evident, Mr.
Stead raya, that they expect liritish
ayiiiathy, as Lord Lansdowno't oicy
is similar to theirs. They prefer to
follow wen tern policlcn and Ideas rather
than those of the Far Kast, the present
policy of Russia and Austria being, if
powdbto, to prevent audi an alliance.
Mr. Stead pointed out that the United
HAIkann could muster over 1,000,000
soldiers, and thns becomo an effective
bariier to the ambition of Kurocean
powera to extend toward the Mediter
ranean. In tho meantime, Auatrla is
condnct'ng her propaganda in Mace
donia and Albania more vigoroualy
than over. Mr. Stead continued:
"I Was impicssed moat fa vol ably
with King Petet. He la ruling Servla
wisely. In fact, while he has not
turned out the reglcldea, he has not
advanced them in rank. This is con
aldoied thu beat itollcy, because it at
least prevents them from hatching
further plota against tho Servian dy
nasty. However, I am positive that
King Peter will retlio the regicides aa
aoon aa he liaa the support ot other
strong patties."
Mi. Stead raid some of the regicides
are physical wiecks from remorse, ant!
that thoy do not associate with otlier
military officers or civil oOlcers.

"Just go homo for visit now; back
to Portland nei t year," one of them
explained today, and the bright little
Antruslto added for the party: "All of
our people havo enjoyed our visit to
