THE ASIAN RAILWAY VAR.

The change of rulers in Afghanistan marks
the beginning OF new and more acute stage in
the international railroad war in Western and
Central Asia. Reference has recently been
made, in connection with the troubles at 10
welt 10 the projected German line from the
Egean Sea TO the Persian Gulf, by way of
Damascus. Bagdad and Bussorah. This line is
not merely projected but actually begun. 1t is
intended ultimately to connect it, by a bridge
across the Bosporus, with the international
line which now runs from Western Europe to
Constantinople. thus making an unbroken line
from the German Ocean or the Atlantic to the
Persian Gulf. To the ambitious German eye
this scheme presents fine visions of German
Empire reaching from the German Ocean to the
Euxine and 1Egean. with its influence domi-
nant to the shores of the Indian Ocean. and,
of course. with mighty development of Ger
man trade with China and the Far East 1t is
to be noted. moreover, that this great work is
undertaken by Germany with the cordial assent
and encouragement of Great Britain. There is
q British plan. all ready for execution, of con-
Meeting the German road at the head of the
Persian Gulf with a British road extending
thence to India. And this latter will in turn
connect with the trans-Indian system and with
the road to Mandalay' and beyond, which is
meant ultimately TO run into China and tap the
valleys of the West and Yangtse rivers Thus
there will be. if these plans fulfilled Ger
man-British railroad extending in an unbroken
line from the German Ocean to the China Sea,
from Hamburg to Canton.
Russia is. as might be supposed. intensely
hostile TO this German British scheme, seeing
In it danger that she will be shut away from
the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean. upon which
she has SO strenuously sought to secure port
"Novoe vremya" of st. Petersburg, ''is a very
dangerous one for Russia. 1t is likely to have
"the effect of barring TO Russia all access to
Southern Persia ard India. Germany
lis the immemorial foe of Slavsm and the Slav
States. The establishment Of her influence in
"Anatolia and Mesopotamia will in a very great
degree shake our prestige in those countries
land hinder our movement Of invasion to the
south. Russia will find herself cut or
mot only from the Mediterranean but also from
.the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean In
"order TO 10 the South in these circum-
stances we shall have to use brute force, for
nothing less will do; and we shall then fnc
ourselves opposed not by England only, but by
Germany Acting upon such ideas Russia
has been pushing into Persia with feverish
energy. The Bander Abbas incident Is now
ancient history In addition. Russia is now
rapidly DulUlUS TdliTOaU from the trans
Caucasus to Tabreez and Hamadan with a
branch TO Teheraa itself and with plans for an
ultimate extension to Meshed and thence to the
Persian Gulf at Bander Abbas. There are other
schemes for Russian railroads in Persia and
line of subsidized steamships mas been estab-
lished to ply between Odessa and the Persian
Gulf
The death of Abdurrahmap and the accession
OF Habibuliah have set Russia to work also on
