Greece herself seems pretty clear as to what she intends
to do, and so does Turkey. The Chamber at Athens has called out the Volunteers, and authorized a loan of amillion sterling, which, it is said, the people will supply. That looks like preparation for war. On the other hand, Hobart Pasha is actually blockading Syra, and as we are assured by an officer now in Athens, has demanded that the blockade-runner Enosis should be given up to him. Conse- quently, unless the Powers are very quick indeed the belligerents will come to blows at once, and a preventive conference will be useless. It is rumoured besides that Omar Pasha is marching towards the frontier of Thessaly, but Turkish Generals are seldom quite ready for such speedy action, and this one likes to see that his troops have supplies. They will not get much in hills ranging from 4,000 to 8,000 feet high.
