RUSSIA'S PECULIAR PROGRAMME.
London, February Ist.—The Times' Berlin correspondent says : — Russia seems to have decided upon a peculiar •plan. She-trusts she can support the strain of prolonged mobilization better than Turkey, and -she will therefore keep troops on tbe frontier, thus compelling Turkey to do the sanie. If Turkey follows Russia's example, it is expected before many months the people will demand peace at any price. .Russia has made fresh but unsuccessful attempts to raise a loan in AinsterdanTand Germany, and will be obliged to have recourse to an increase of her floating debt and issue treas.ury^bonds. ' War preparations tinue with energy. v Servia is making urgent appeals to the western cabinets to support her in refusing the demands of Turkey. The Russians, in order to redouble their pressure on Turkey, will probably cross the Pruth, if not immediately, at least at a later stage. / As soon as it was known that Turkey had made overtures to Servia, Russian representatives at the various courts declared that Russia had no objection to a conclusion of peace. .
