NEWS OF THE WEEK.
WE have dealt elsewhere with the situation in the Balkans, and can only say here that nothing in Friday morning's news makes us think that the views expressed in our leading article require modification. The telegrams which show that the Turks, not content with the reoccupation of Adrianople, have actually invaded Bulgaria—probably this invasion at present only consists of raids across the frontier by Kurdish cavalry—are more sensational than important. No doubt the invasion is a disagreeable fact, but it is just one of those "fatal triumphs" which only bring more near the inevitable end. The Powers are, we believe, not only unanimous in theory, but determined in practice that the Turks shall not permanently reoccupy any part of Thrace west of the Enos-Midia line, and, further, that if the Turks continue to give trouble in the matter, the small portion of Europe still secured to them by the Treaty of London shall be further curtailed and even the Asiatic position reconsidered.
