Apart from the determination of the Concert it must not

be forgotten that none of the late Allies, who are now enemies, would be willing to see the Turk back in Thrace. Such a prospect would be equally disagreeable to Roumania. Roumania, indeed, with her army still absolutely intact, might find that it would fit in very well with her aspirations in the Balkans to take upon herself the task of curbing the Turks and driving them back to the Tchatalja lines. By doing so Roumania would also lay the Powers under an obligation which might be useful to her in the future. No doubt the situation as between Bulgaria, Greece, and Servia is still very dangerous, but we are confident that there is plenty of power left to coerce the Turks. The reoccupation of Adrianople and the raids into Bulgarian territory will then prove nothing but a military incident.
