The Great Round World and What Is Going On In It, Vol. 1, No. 37, July 22, 1897 A Weekly Magazine for Boys and GirlsJulia Truitt BishopThe peace negotiations have not made very much progress during the past week.Turkey has announced to the Powers that she holds that Thessaly belongs to her by right of conquest, and she is not willing to give it up.But the Powers are determined to allow only a sum of money as a war indemnity, and a rearrangement of the frontier whereby Turkey will gain certain strategic points.The Sultan has again asked the Emperor of Germany to help him to secure Thessaly, but William has declined to interfere in the matter, and has advised the Sultan to obey the wishes of the Powers.The Czar of Russia has also written to the Sultan, urging him to accept the conditions offered, and not delay the negotiations by making demands on Greece which it will be impossible for her to accept.The delay in the peace negotiations is causing considerable alarm in Europe.It seems that the Sultan's main object in writing to Germany and Russia has been to gain time.It is thought that he hopes the Powers will disagree and leave him free to do as he pleases.If, however, they still remain as firm as they are at present, he thinks the delay may give time for the Mohammedans to calm down.We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
