THE BALKANS.
THE ANNEXATION OF BOSNIA
Press Association-By Telegraph-Copyright LONDON, March 29. Sir Edward Grey, Minister for Foreign Affairs, promised to recognise the annexation of Bosnia arid Herzegovina whether Servia accepts the formula or not. If the conference of Powers meets, it will be a mere formality. LONDON PRESS COMMENT. LONDON, March 29. The "Times" says that Germany has taken advantage of Russia's unpreparedness to put a pistol at her head and compel her to abandon her traditional policy in tho Near East. The "Pall Mall Gazette " ■comments on the spectacle of the creator of the Hague Peace Conference being constrained to condone a glaring illegality under a threat of instant war, and adds: —"Berlin has supported Vienna in order that Teuton and not Slav influence may prevail in .South-Eastern Europe. It is a repayment for Austria's help at the Algeciras Conference, and demonstrates that Germany's isolation may prove costly to those Powers which refuse to become the tools of the German policy."
