FATE IN BALANCE

For both Austro- Hungary and the
Balkan kingdoms the war is potential
with consequences of far more geo.
graphical and political Importance than
the crusade against the Turks.
If Austria wins she will probably
claim heavy compensation in territory.
II she loses, the Austro Hungarian en-
pire will be swept forever out of ex-
istence. Despite the expenditure Of
large sums of money. persistence in a
foreign policy which has sapped credit
on the Bourse and crippled industries
and the active employment of an army
of imperial press agents. all the Slav
and on-German STATES are seething
with sedition, eager to espouse the
cause of the young Balkan states.
The latter. flushed with victory, eager
for new achievements. are strong In
loyal patriotism, and have well
equipped and seasoned armies. Aus
trials troops, however superior in num-
bers. are raw. untried and generally
believed to be poorly led and lacking
