WAR VS. DIPLOMACY FACING POWERS

Bulgarian Army About to Enter Constantinople and Situation Is Intense in Europe. Europe is facing a critical situation. It is quite probable that diplomacy will avert a serious war but it is also possible that the war between Turkey and Bulgaria may involve all the powers of Europe. The Bulgarian army is on the verge of entering Constantinople and that city is threatened with massacre within.- Russia will probably resent the‘further advance of Bulgaria. The smaller.nations hope for increased territory as a fruit of victory. The larger noncombatant nations do not want the smaller ones to expand. There are consequently many jealousies and suspicions. All the nations are watching the conditions with great interest and hoping that the war may be brought to a speedy conclusion.
