WAR GEOGRAPHY
OF EUROPE.
III.


Before considering the contest for the
Austrian succession Il Is necessary to
make note of the accession TO the Euro
pean family of Russia. Up to the time
Of Peter the Great Russia was Asiatic
rather than European and It's clviiization
Oriental. not Occidental. Its complete
detachment from the West is illustrated
by the fact that it did not adopt the
Christian era until Peters reign. Peter
did for Russia the same WORK tnat mas
been done for Japan in the last forty
years, but TO accomplish this transfor-
nation access TO the sea was indispens-
able. The port OF Archangei had been
opened to European navigation by the
discovery of the White sea In 1885, but
the White sea is ice-bound in winter. In
the south the Black sea belonged TO the
Turks and TO the west the Baitie was a
Swedish lake Peter struck in both direc-
tions. AS soon as Azof on the Black sea
was secured uses-0 he turned toward

1t is said that there are several So

better. We have suffered enough

The immense development of the ex-
port trade of the United States and
the almost limitless possibilities for
Its further extention are intimated in
ngures given out recently by the
statistical bureau at Washington.
From this it appears that, in so far of
q country as Russia, American manu-
facturers are competing successfully
with their German and English rivals
and that American bicycles, agricul-
tural machinery, steam engines and
tools in general are extensively sold
among the Black Sea provinces. The
figures given show that our sales in
Russia in 1893 amounted to less than
two and one-half million dollars and
that in the year 1899 they exceeded
ten million.

The senate committee on commerce
has reported bill for the establish
ment OF department of commerce and
industries. While the multiplication Of
Offices ordinarily is not an unmixed
blessing, there is sometimes a necessi-
ty for it, and at other times conditions
are such as to indicate the wisdom of
making an experiment in that direc-
ton, though it must be admitted that
there is little hope of abolishing an
Office, however useless it may prove,
once 1t is created. The closer the gov
eminent can be brought in contact
with industrial activity. and the more
nearly it can be made business enter
prise, as distinguished from a political
machine, the better it will be as a gov
eminent.

The most amusing feature of the
present violent crusade being conduct
ed by the press of New York against
immortality in plays, to those familiar
with such eStravagant campaigns. is
the probability that the newspapers
are acting from anything but earnest
motives in so DANGEROUSLY demanding
the suppression of "Sapho," "Zaza" and
other plays of like nature. 1t is a
mock campaign, seemingly conducted
solely for the notoriety and advertis-
ing which the individual papers can
squeeze out of the affair.
