Wei'ern Newspaper Union News Service.
St Petersburg.—The mobilization of
the armies of Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece probably will mean Immediate
war, according to the belief in politi
cal circles here.
The nature of Turkey’s military ac
tivity in the last few days is taken to
mean that she intends to make war.
In that case the Balkan coalition nat
urally has forestalled her in her en
deavor to profit by the rapid concen
tration of troops.
The opinion Is held here that the ac
tion of the Balkan states has resulted
from the inability of the powers to
deal with the situation.
Thfo conversations which the Rus
sian minister, M. Sazonoff, has had in
London, have been apparently barren.
It is understood Russia has taken an
adequate view of the crisis and has
proposed the radical remedy of put
ting into effect Article 23 of the
treaty of Berlin, providing for intro
duction in the European provinces of
Turkey of a statute giving a measure
of self-government under a provincial
governor-general controlled by the
powers.
Russia’s proposal was communicated
to Turkey by M. do Glers, ambassa
dor to Austria-Hungary.
Great Britain showed herself will
ing to talk reforms in Macedonia, with
out committing herself to anything
definite.
France's answer is due and her at
titude is expected to be still more con
servative, being dictated mainly by
considerations of finance.
