TURKEY; EUROPE

The article discusses issues related to world politics. It also focuses on a recent publication related to French General Baron Thiebault. A week ago the Eastern question seemed about to receive an answer, but no one is wiser as to the final solution. Letters from England say that the British Government was decided to go ahead even if alone, and force a solution securing the reforms and the safety of the Christians of Turkey. The question, however, which appears subject to an adjournment, is one of those, which must inevitably be answered. The Turks of today must expiate the victories of their fathers and restore to Christian Europe what the fathers took from it; so decides historical justice, and people believe that Turkey will for no long time sign protocols as a European Power. A protest must be made against the new fashion of publishing memoirs piecemeal, one volume after another, at intervals often so long that the reader has some difficulty in finding the thread, which he was obliged to abandon. This method may be advantageous to the publisher, but it is rather irritating to the reader. Who would have thought, when the first volume of the memoirs of General Thiebault appeared, that so many others would follow it?
