This setUement of the ■astern Question waa framed in 18T8 at the sc-called "Congress of Berlin," ander the presidency of Bismarck, then at the height of his tame. With this settlement also begins the reopen. his of tho dispute and estrangement between Austria and Russia over Balkan affairs, for in the treaty Aus- tria waa given the right to "occupy" and administer the provinces of Bos- nia and Hersegovtoa and Russia Was offended at this extending of Austrian we notice that they conflict control over a portion of the Balkan ctly at some points--as on the Slavs while her own area of Balkan dispute of Russia and Austria trol waa being reduced.

In Its more recent aspect 'the question has reference to the disposal off the European possessions of the de- caying Turkish empire. When that empire first showed signs of crumbling at the close of the seventeenth cen- tury, Russia and Austria began their long contest for the possession of the Turkish provinces adjoining their borders. Russfe sueoswieTp annex- ing hit after bit along the shores of the Black Sea while Austria brought her' frontier down to Belgrade. Part off the time, as in 1788-8*, the two - powers carried on their wars of con- quest In conjunction, but sooner or inter their Interests in this direction were hound to clash. With the nineteenth century a new phase of the situation developed. The long submerged and nearly forgotten Christian population of the Ottoman empire--Serbs, Roumanians. Bat; garlans and Greeks--began to reassert themselves and struggle for inde- pendence. Another thirty years a serious collision. Russia exerted a controlling Influence In the affairs off the new autonomous state off Bulgaria till the Bulgarians gat tired of it, and. under the patriotdlctator Stambuloff. ridded themselves off '■ Russian inter- ference. Austria quietly administered the Turkish provinces assigned to her in such fashion as to bring great tea. provement In their material condition. In 1908 a revolution took place at Con- stantinople, and the party of the Young Turks established a constitu- tional regime after the fashion of the western states of Europe. Thla event had curious consequences, roaring that the re-invlgorated Turkish gov- ernment might set about a re-ccusoll- dation of the empire, the Prince off Bulgaria declared the complete Inde- pendence Off his country from Turkish rule end assumi/d the title off king, while at the same time the Austro- Hungarian government announced its decision to Incorporate Bosnia and Hewegovina within its dominions.

Tat they have pub- lished bo evidence to show that they pad* any effort such as the occasion demanded to restrain Austria, They cenflned their peace efforts to a vigor- ous protest against Russian mobiliza- tion. We can only explain Germany's fate- ful attitude to that crisis on the under- standing that she regarded the exist- ence of the Austro-Hungarlan empire at stake and with it her own existence. the pan-Slavic conspiracies emanating from Servia would result In the disso- lution1 of the Austro-Hungarlan em- pire (so »he Germans believed), which, as everyone knows, rests on an exceed* iugly vulnerable base. This subject. Involving the vary life off the empire. Austria ffeU could hot properly be sub- mitted to arbUfatlou, for she couidnot submit the question of her own exist- ence ,to a mediation off the powers. Germany cordially seconded this view. She had to stand by Austria, her sole dependable ally In the midst of gen- eral European unfriendliness, other* wise aha would bo left completely (The next article will deal with com- mercial rivalry as a cause off the war.) EVENING GOWN NOW BONUS LONG TRAIN satisfied to await absorption Into the empires pf Austria eft* Ruafea, but struck out against the Turk for them- selves. The problem thus grew more complex. Russia was forced to adopt a new method to her policy of expan- sion toward Constantinople. Sinco the greater part of these Christian peoples wewi; o^ Jftovofiio origin and off the Orthodox church, Russia assumed the patronage of their Interests. Mean- while England was being drawn tote the question because ot her large east- ern possessions and the fear that Rus- sian aggressions In Turkey would cut through the English lines of communication with India by way of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. England, on this ac- count, was resolved to uphold the In- tegrity of the Sultan's dominions against Russia. In 1863 the csar frankly proposed to England a parti- tion of the Turkish empire In Europe, but was coldly repulsed. Shortly aft- er ward Russia huge a peremptory de- mand of the sultan that he recognise Russia's right ot protection over ett tLe Greek Christians.

Russia Was deeply offended by the action off Austria-Hungary, but crippled by the recent war with Japan. She did not feel abletoreslst Great Britain formally pro- tested against "the right of any power to alter an International treaty with- out the consent of the other parties to it." Her suggestion that a congress be called to consider the whole ques- tion was not accepted by Austria and Germany, and so the mutter was finally permitted to rest, not, however. Without leaving ft great deal of hard feeling. Russia felt peculiarly ag- grieved inasmuch as she had signed an agreement with Austria only ten years before which aimed at preserv- Senrian societies, and charged the Servian: government with complicity to the plot. Moreover, the conviction reigned firm at Vienna that the whole pan-Servian movement had been to- las the status quo in the Balkans. ay T«tu|ii"y fait tin* Austria ItoJ played a mean trick. It is most lm- portent to note these Incidents regard- ing the Berlin treaty and the fate of Bosnia, for they explain Russia's attl- tude to the present crisis.

According to Style Experts Trains Are Not Fash- ionable. "Among other "horrors of the war,' the train haa disappeared from fash- ionable evening gowns, according to Style experts. The weekly bulletin, Issued to its members of style sug- gestions by the president ot the Fash- ion Art league. Mme. Alia Ripley, to- days/says: "With the opening of the American social season, the long train has been tabooed by women of fashion, and abort evening gowns are worn exclu- sively. Tims is the wsr Influence on fashions again displayed. The dearth of formal social functions to America Is responsible for toe vogue of short evening gowns. "The dancing gown occupies the place of Interest among these..

The; foundation Is close fitting and over this is hung a long, full, flaring tunic of lace, net or chiffon, often fur-trimmed. The top of this gown is very simple, indeed, sometimes only & string of beads over the shoulders. In thla ultra type of gown the baro- ness above the bust line Is objection- able, but with tulle or chiffon is beau- tiful. "The other typo spoken of Is ot medieval origin and la called the chemise gown--a straight garment, hanging from the shoulders of sheer material over a fitted foundation with a girou encircling the hips.
