Constantinople is one of the great junctions of the world. It is here that southern Asia throws out feeler towards Europe, and it is here that Europe responds with the Balkan peninsula.

He points out that the project involves no deduction from the Budget, since the payment of the indemnity has been suspended since the beginning of the war, and he expresses the opinion, moreover, that all claims in connection with losses incurred by the
