ultimate return. In the better UNDER
standing of these possibilities now,
the scheme is no longer regarded by
Europe as vislc nary, a hopeless dream
of empire. There is a growing recog-
milton of the practical foresight of the
German purpose. Still, the political
possibilities of such an extension of
German influence cannot be disregard
ed. The advantage of German route
through western Asia, and of Ger
man port on the Persian gulf, are of
international importance.
The problem of this German enter
prise, in It's finality, is much the same
as that already met in other develop
ments OF Asia. Western influences
aroused Japan, only to cause the Jap
anese to assert themselves. British

Germany is undertaking its purpose in

whether Germany can recreate an en-

control of it, Boston Herald.
