No Middle Way Possible Between In

KOssuth's Plan for a Federation
Balkan Confederation Is Worrying

(James Creelman in st. Paul Pioneer
Press.)
New York.-The tremendous possi-
bility of a renewal of the armed strug-
gle between the Balkans and Turkey
can hardly be appreciated by one who
has not personally gone over the
ground since the bloody convulsion,
in which Abdul Hamud disappeared
from the throne to make way for the
fat, gray, double -chinned brother.
whom he kept a prisoner thirty-three
years in the great Dolmabatche pal
ace, in which the grand council of the
Turkish empire solemnly agreed to
surrender to the enemy the sacred
city of Adrianople, only to have the
government almost instantly over
thrown. 1t would be hard to imagine
grimmer or more resolute man than
the lean, wolf-eyed soldier who has
just become the grand vizier and
leader of the Ottoman empire.
This Arab general, Mahmoud Shelf

death, if necessary. Not even the
great nations of Europe combined can
overawe that fierce but stole nature
of the extraordinary man, in whose
hands fate has placed the question
whether Turkey shall be altogether
driven out of Europe.
Those who have tried to read the
present situation in hurried and con-
fused newspaper dispatches have
overlooked two things upon which
the action of the great powers may yet
hinge. One is the inevitable menace
OF a great Balkan confederation to
the territorial integrity of Austria.
and the other is the overwhelming
Importance of the mighty Bagdad
railway enterprise. in which Germany
and the German emperor have so
gravely committed themselves.
Louis KOssuth's Dream.
recall the significant words which
Louis Kossuth, once dictator of Hun
gary said to me when / visited him
! in his self-exile at Turin. In telling
the story of his glorious struggle for
the independence of his country, he
declared that the freedom of his own
people from the Austrian crown was
only a single step in great plan for
the peace and progress of Europe
1t was Kossuth's fixed determine
ton, after establishing the independ-
ence of Hungary. to re-erect the Polish
nation, and then bring about an Of
fensive and defensive alliance of al
the Balkan nations with Hungary
and Poland, thus forming a compact
confederation, reaching from north tC

the venerable Franz Josef, the throne
will be occupied by Franz Ferdinand
D'Este. a prince without strength,
foresight or tact.
Must Influence Austria's Course.
With a Balkan confederation for
offense and defense, as a result of the
present war of the allies against
Turkey, will not the present ambition
of Hungary again burst into flame ?
Kossuth's dream and Kossuth's in
fluence still exist. 1t Is this consider
alton that must inevitably influence
the course of Austria toward the Bal
kan allies in the near future.
In looking at the war to drive the
Turks out Of Europe, Germany is not
in the same case with her close ally,
Austria. With the sovereignty of the
sultan confined to Asiatic Turkey,
Germany would be in a position to
deal with a weaker nation in carry
ing out her Bagdad railway plans.
Thi railway when completed will be
about 1900 miles long.
Arabs Oppose Bagdad Road.
There are in Asiatic Turkey about
5000, 900 Arabs who never acknow-
ledge the authority of the Turkish
sultan. The government at Constan-
tinople practically has power over the
armed populations of great Arabia
One of the grea independent Arab
shieks has long had armed possession
nP nd
about it. He has many times de-
clared that not even the sultan can
force him to allow Germany's Bagdad
railway line to reach Kuweit.
There is still another grave COM
plication in the Bagdad railway ques-
tion. With the completion of that
system of transportation, Germany
would have a railway that would de-
stroy the importance of the Suez ca
nal as a military route to India, for
Kuweit is the best harbor in the Per-
sian gulf, and the waters of the Per-
sian gulf actually break on the shores
of Indian.
AS soon as it was made plain that
the Germans intended to finish the
Bagdad railway Great Britain began
to show her teeth. The British. act
ing under an old agreement with Rus
sia, claim superior rights over the
Gulf of Persia.
British Take Possession.
One day a British admiral sailed
into the port of Kuweit with bat
tleship and declared a British protec-
torate over the place.
The Arabs are still sitting at Ku-
welt with their swords and rifles on
their knees. The town and its harbol
are still under the guardianship OF
the British navy. Yet an army oi
German engineers continues, in many
sections. to push forward the work
On the Bagdad railway route.
Who can say what will happen when
German enterprise and British resis-
tance meet at Kuweit One or the
other must yield. There is no possi
J BILE middle way.
