Fleet Decisive Factor.
"(?jiecc.'s eantiibuUon In th. i raoaol
wnr has not been coiitined to the un
interruptedly victorious operation of an
army of 140,000 men ln action. Her lot
may Justly be coosidered "* the one
decisive factor in the arhole war. With?
out the preaenca Of the Greek ships
Turkey would have been enabled with
in ten days at tlie utmost after tlie
declaratlon of war to bring her best
troops from Asia Minor and Arabia
and land them at Dedeaghatch. on the
flank of the BulKarian arwtaa, thus
rendering their magnificent victories
nulte impossible. The Creek fleet also
paraly-cd the whole system of Turkish
rnilways by innrrupting the coal sup?
ply. thus compelhng rcinforcemeiits
from A.sia Minor to arrlve weary and
footsore after long and exhausting
mari hes.
"One must also considcr the moral
effect of the n.uch vaunted Turkish
fleet not daring to show its nose out
slde tbe Dardanelles in view of the
presence of tho Creek ships."
The questlon now arises what will be
the effect of the armistice. Wttl Q-BOi "
and Turkey conduct an actlve campaign
meanwhile, or will Greece content her
avelf with malntalning a blockade of the
.Egean and Adriatlc coasts of Turkey
and so preventlng Turkey revlctualling
by aea? In this case the allies would
in all probablllty galn by the armistice,
and the eontingeney suggesta the pos
slblllty that Greece's refusal to slgn
tbe armiatlce waa by prearrangement
?avith Bulgarla.
On the other hand, lf there haa been
a dispute between Bulgarla and Greece
the breach will be wldened by the
latest devejopment of affalrs, and Turk
iah diplomacy may yet win a trlumph
after the Porte's fightlng power has
been apparently hopelessly crushed.
There ia a rumor ln Sona that a sug
gcetion has been made to substltute
Rumanla for Greece ln the Balkan

lt is reported that France is trying
to persuade Greece to adopt a less un

flnanclal presaure and the exhaustion
of their fcrcea had much to do with the

aaid Robln had stolen $1,000,000 from
the Northern Bank. Mr. Whitman has
never had enough evldence to lndlct
Robln for any of the losaes auffered by
the Northern Bank. The eight indtct

whlch he haa pleaded guilty, were
found aa the reault of his manipula
tlon of the funda of other concerns.
notably tho Washington Savlngs Bank.
In partial answcr to Van Tuyl's
1 llflll? Robln'a friends were asklng
yesterday why the Superintendent of
Bankint? had waited two years to
bring the facts he alleges to the atten

anawered their own question by aecus
ing Van Tuyl of frlendliness toward
the CnmmlnB crowd, to whom his bank
had lent ?50,0OO, nnd toward Hyde.
Mr. Van Tuyl let lt be known that
he dld no. conslder the lnalnuatlona of
