The Weekly Elko Independent

The New York Tribune's London dispatch says: It is surmised that the distrust of England shown by certain of the powers is fictitious and that Turkey is being egged on from interesting motives. Immediately she became occupied, in Egypt especially, in opposition to England, Russia would find easier access into the Turkish empire and Austria into Salonica. The conflict between England and Turkey means the absolute ruin of the Turkish empire. Russia affects to believe that England wants Egypt, which she refuses to grant unless for the price of the Bosphorus. Italy's present dubious action would be favorably changed toward England if Rome were offered a share of Egyptian control. The professed surprise in European capitals at the English occupation of Suez in anticipation of the Italian proposal to the conference is hardly reasonable. The British action is simply a corollary to the arrival of the Indian troops. This unostentatious energy of England since she commenced action is increasing her prestige, especially in Germany. The punctual ease of the dispatch of troops to Egypt is in striking contrast to the strain of the French expedition to Tunis.
