on tnho Ralkan ponlnsuln and thoro Is
considerable apprehension In diplo

Tho ponlnsuln boforo this has beon
potty campaigns galoro, but somehow
the powers havo always muuagod tp
stave off n froo-for-nll fight that to
day seems probable.
It Is agreed at all tho Europoan
chnncullorlofl that ovon n nottIomont

Inst long.

Roumanlu; King Peter, of Sprvla;
King Edward, of England; Presldont
