The allies are halted at the Tchat-ialja Tchat-ialja lines, and the promife Is they jmust remain there nn Indefinite lensth of time heiorc the fortlflca-, fortlflca-, lions can be so weakened as to allow al-low Insre3s to the besiegers We have looked upon the renewal of hostilities by the Balkan states s offering as many dangers of a reverse as opportunities oppor-tunities for final rictory. There is hope though of a speedy ending of the war in favor of the Christian armies, if a passage for the Greek fleet through the Dardanelles to in front of Constantinople can he forced. The war news of today Is to the effect ef-fect that a move of such importance is under consideration and that an attack on fjalllpoli, as the first step In the opening up of the Dardanelles, is In progress. Once inside the Dardanelles, the warships of Qreece would be in a po-'sitlon po-'sitlon to shut off all Turkish reinforcements rein-forcements from Asiatic Turkey, to I destroy the source of supply of the army in the Tchatalja (oris and even to lav waste to Constantinople j itself Turkey ls said to be in financial 1 straits. Our opinion is that both the J allies and Turks are Btrainlng their resources In wealtb and human lives to the utmost to keep up the conflict, and that peace, would be welcomed Bulgaria not less thaukfully than by I j the Ottomans. |
