juncture between Turkey and Russis there is not much probability of Eng land joining in the struggle just yet. It is well nigh impossible that the Russians can be within reach of Con- stantinople for many weeks to come, and until the Czar's troops have secured the passage of the Balkans, it is difficult to perceive how England can regard her interests a sufficiently threatened to costly war. So far as we can judge, the justify her rushing into a fearful and Turkish canse is hardly more, hopeless than it appeared to the world after the Russians had made their, brilliant and successful dash across the Danube. Most people then expected the next great struggle to take place in the Balkans, and that is exactly where it is expected to take place at the present moment. No one hardly thought then that the Turks would venture to encounter their opponents in the open field, or, if such an idea did exist, it was generally believed
