The question of Greece is not yet settled. The Turks
still say they will go if Greece gets anything, and the Greeks threaten disturb- ances if they get nothing. Lord Beaconsfield, however, does not care about the Greeks, who are rivals everywhere to the Jews, while Prince Bismarck thinks them only an "interesting people," without battalions, and it is believed that Greece will get nothing except Yolo and Arta. The matter, however, is not yet settled, as Austria, which is quietly opposing the Greeks, does not want them to become wholly Russian, and Italy has not said her say, and the sitting may therefore end in a surprise. If it does not, the remainder of European Turkey will probably be made into Western Roumelia, with a nominal autonomy, and
Athens will for some years be a Russian port. England has de- ceived Greece, Austria has opposed her, Italy has given her only words, and she must therefore fall back on Russia, and offer for her help the alliance of her growing marine. At present, she is menacing Turkey with a new insurrection, but she is too late, and requires three years' steady drill.
