Excerpt from The Outlook, Vol. 61: A Weekly Newspaper; January-April, 1899

Ence in the country has greatly declined; although at one time France was, from the standpoint of the Syrians, the greatest of European Powers. Russia has now taken her place, by the aid of intelligent consuls, monasteries, and schools; and if Russia wants Syria, in the end she will probably get it.

The significant fact about all this speculation is the agreement, apparently, that Palestine is not likely to remain indefinitely in Turkish possession.
