The various Consuls and Ministers have been recalled to Turkey from Greece, and the Sultan has issued an order that all Greeks must leave Turkish territory within fifteen days. The fighting has been very furious on both sides. The war broke out in two different places. On the west coast of Turkey is the Gulf of Arta. Here the Greek war-ships have bombarded the town of Preveza, and reduced it to ashes. Farther inland a Greek force has crossed the border into Epirus, and driven the Turks before it. The Greeks are endeavoring to march on to Janina, the capital of Epirus. Epirus is one of the Greek provinces which King George desires to win back for his country. On the frontier of Macedonia the Greeks have not been so successful, for the Turks have won from them a very important mountain pass, the Pass of Milouna, which opens the plains of Larissa to them. This has been a very severe blow to the Greeks, and unless they can force the Turks back again they are in danger of losing the town of Larissa, where most of the supplies for the army have been sent; its loss would be a terrible one! There is another pass to the plains of Larissa, called Reveni. This the Greeks are holding bravely; the Turks were defeated with great loss in their attack. The Crown Prince has sent a telegram to Athens, saying that the victory lies with Greece so far, and that he intends to try and take back Milouna from the Turks. It is said that Germany persuaded Turkey to declare war, and that the Kaiser is in full sympathy with the Sultan. England has declared herself neutral, which means she will not side with either party; but it would appear that strong efforts are being made in the British Parliament to force England to aid Greece. It is feared that if Greece should whip the Turks, the great European war can no longer be avoided. The reason for saying this is that, if Turkey is defeated, the Ottoman Empire will fall to pieces, and all the Powers may join in one free fight for a share of the plunder. GENIE H. ROSENFELD. LETTERS FROM OUR FRIENDS. From Monterey, Cal., come the two following letters about books: DEAR EDITOR: I thought that I should take much pleasure in writing to THE GREAT ROUND WORLD. I have been reading your magazines for several months, and I greatly enjoy them. Among the books that I like to read are those of the Stories of the Ancient Greeks, but for current events I greatly prefer THE GREAT ROUND WORLD. Ever your reader, ROSA B. MONTEREY, CAL. DEAR EDITOR: I enjoy reading THE GREAT ROUND WORLD very much. I think it is very interesting, as well as instructive. One of the books I like best is Kipling's "Jungle Book." I think all of the readers of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD would enjoy it also.
