As we write on Friday no act of war has
yet been reported from Bulgaria, Servia, or Greece, and their Ministers are still at Constantinople. The fact, however, that the concentration of their troops is proceeding at full speed, and that in all three countries there is a passionate desire to attack the Turks, makes it impossible short of a miracle that peace can now be preserved. It is, of course, conceivable that this miracle might take place if the Powers were in a position to tell the Balkan League that they will guarantee the introduction of real reforms in Macedonia—reforms which would give autonomy in fact if not in name. There is, however, no possibility of the Powers being able to give such a guarantee, for in the present temper of the people of Turkey any Government which promised autonomy of any kind to Macedonia would be at once overthrown.
