London Aug. 4 A new turn has
been given to the Balkan kaleidoscope
and Constantinople is seen more
clearly than ever to be the key to the
whole Jumbled situation in southeast
Europe. Iteports which doubtless are
receiving America's specin! considera
tion as her interests are directly con-
cerned are also current that events
in the neighborhood of the Darda-
nelles may have an important lnftu-.
ence upon the future history not only
of countries contiguous to the narrow.
seas of the Near East but of contin-
ents lapped by the oceans of the ex-
treme Orient.
On this latter aspect of the question
which is concerned with alleged nego-
tiations between Russia and Japan
nothing has yet been published In
England though the French censor-
ship permitted a free discussion in
the press of Paris whence a summary
of it presumably reached the United
States by French cable. '
Since Premier Asqutth's recent
reference In parliament to possibility
of money being required for "new
allies" there had existed in London
the complacent belief that the late
summer or early full would certainly"
bring developments in tho Balkan
peninsula favorable to the Allies'
cause.
German threats to Rumania timed
to culminate almost synchronously
with the meeting of the Greek-parliament
' controlled by Venlzelos
strengthened the conviction that the
former country would move as soon
as her harvests were gathered in and
that the latter 'would quickly follow
suit.
Rumania Grows Cautious.
Recent events have considerably
shaken this confidence. When the
Russi naforces were in Bukowina
Rumania's army could be thrown into
tmS battle line without great risks.
Such action would be in the nature of
an extension of the Russian left wing.
Since the Russian retreat Rumania is
left in an exposed position which
would become highly crtical If the
Teutonic drive against the Russian
armies is crowned with complete
success.
Even now though the Grand Duke's
forces are still in being Germany con- -siders
