All Pewcrs Keep Watchful Eyes en
Sltuatlen That Threatens Diplo
mats Predict Trouble Over
Situation
Parts For the first time since the
Balkan war broke out, tho ndmlsslon
kas been made in diplomatic circles
that the situation as concerns the
powers of Europe Is decidedly serious.
One diplomat, closely In touch with
the International situation, went bo
far as to predict a general European
war.
"That a great cataclysm of warfare
may rend Europe Is feared In every
chancellory," this man said. "Long
before the Balkan war started the
powers bek, u preparing for the strug
gle England. France, Germany, Aus
tria, Italy and Russia.
"Poland is ripe for revolt, and this
adds another element of dangor to a
situation already precarious. The
Poles could keep Russia, Austria and
Germany In cheok for a time at least
and their attitude would be closely
conaidered before either of these pow
ers entered Into a European quarrel.
"News that Germany has placed her
army on a war footing noed cause no
surprise. All the powers have done
ao and If war develops Germany will
be able to put 7,000,000 In the field,
fully equipped with munitions. Ger
many has not made, the mistake that
caused Turkoy to fall."
Europe's diplomatic situation aris
ing from tho Balkan war, Is reaching
the acuto stage where each govern
ment la centering unusual responsi
bility upon Its secret service corps.

PANIC AMONG TURKISH TROOPS
67,268 1 Stories of Pillage and Massacre Are
Told of Ottomans
Constantinople. By wny of Kus
tendje, Roumanla). Stories of the
distress which prevails among the
Turkish troops, of tho panic which
seized upon 'various bodies of the men
and what is worse, tales of pillage,
raplen and massacre, continue to
come in from various points. It Is
reported that Nazim Pasha, the Tur
kish commander in chief, has decided
to send to their homPH several thou
sand of his men who have shown the
white feather on the Held of battle,
but logic would suggest that they de
serve more serious punishment.
Reports of the excesses of the flee
ing Turks In the town of Slllvrl, a
port on the sea of Marmora, south
west of Tehatalja line, apparently are
authentic.
Many of tho Inhabitants are said
to have been massacred and the town
was completely burned. The popula
tion of Slllvrl wbb mostly Greek.
