The league holds that war would be especially disastrous at this time, as then-la famine in Asia Minor.

The doctors of Tiff Is held a meeting recently and volunteered their services in case of war. The concentration of Turkish reserves on the Persian and Russian frontiers in Asia Minor, if in progress, is an outcome of the border difficulty with Persia.

This show of military activity was though to have been sufficient to put a stop to the Turkish agRe-dia- a gression, and the Russian movement was said to have been discontinued.
