1zation of a pan-Balkan confederation
of states after the fashion of the Ger
man empire. Consolidation is the or
der of our era from manufacturing
plants and financial enterprises to ma
tional governments and racial solidar-
ity. The world owes the United States
the lesson to be learned from the fed
Grafton of states. Germany has taken
the lesson to heart and is profiting by
it. This is suggested as the outcome
Of the present war of the Balkans.
Population Mixed.
The population of the states here
under review is very mixed. It's SEN
timents are neither Asiatic nor Euro
pean, but kind of mixture of both.
In this way the new federation would
play an important part as buffer be-
tween Russia and western Europe and
also between the two continents. The
territory is agriculturally rich, pos
sesses great mineral deposits, is dot
ted over with magnificent forests, is
cut by fine rivers and offers advant-
ages for wonderful development in
every respect for the upbuilding Of
magnificent cities at many points.
With the Bosporus, the Sea of Mar
mora and the Dardanelles in posses
sion of the confederation a fleet of
warships might be collected strong
enough to bid defiance to half the
world
If these Teutonic empires should be
brought together they will constitute
a formidable menace to all of Europe
east and west of them. So far English
influence at Vienna united with that of
St. Petersburg has kept Austria and
Germany apart. But as the great
game is played out there is no telling
what combinations may be made
which would send this power to sac
riice a knight or a castle and that
power to give up bishop or hand
full of pawns to protect the king. AL
together it is one of the greatest
games of war and diplomacy ever
played by the nations of the world.

RELIC OF GREAT ADMIRAL
English Museum Has Toy Ship Be-
Iieved to Have Been Construct
ed by Lord Nelson.

An interesting addition has just
been made to the historical exhibits in
the museum of the Royal United Serv-
ice institution. London. 1t consists of
a little ship which is believed to have
been at one time in the possession of
Lord Nelson, and possibly was the toy
vessel in rigging and handling from
which the great admiral learnt the
rudiments of seamanship. At all
events, some forty years ago, she was
given, with this tradition attaching to
her, to Lord Wolseley, who has now
generously presented her to the insti-
tuition.
Not only was the little boat built
and rugged on board the merchant yes
sci in which. under Rathbone, one of
his old petty officers, Captain Susk-
ling sent Nelson, his nephew, for a
cruise to learn seamanship in 1872, but
it is quite possible she was also in
tended to represent this ship. In
many respects she is more like an
armed merchantmen of the period
than a ship of the royal navy.
1t is beyond a doubt that if Nelson
helped to rig her as part of his train
ing for a sea life he would have kept
her as a memento of those early days,
and now that she is to be publicly
exhibited and attention is directed to
her existence, it is hoped that further
light may be thrown upon her history.

GCORGIA'S ELECTORS TO
MEET AT CAPITOL
Declare Result and Select
Messenger

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 4.-Georgia's four
teen electors will meet in the senate
chamber of the capitol promptly at
noon on Monday, Jan. 10, there to de-
clare the result of the national cleo
ton in Georgia and to select a messen-
ger to take the electoral vote to Wash
ington.
So far as now known all of the cleo
tore will be here, with the exception of
J. NJ. Dupree, of Montezuma, who is
suffering from paralytic stroke. His
alternate, John B. Hutchinson, of Ash
burn, will come in his place.
The electors will meet at noon, Sc
lect president of the college, a sec
rotary and then proceed to the naming
of am essenger. 1t is believed that
Judge A. ]. Cobb, of Athens will pro-
badly be chosen president, and that the
electors will probably select B. NJ.
Blackburn, of Atlanta las secretary, 10
which fee of So is allowed. The cleo
tore receive a fee of $50 each and
mileage one way at 10 cents per mile.
So far as now appears there are
three candidates for the honor of TAX
ing the electoral vote to Washington.
They are Flynn Hargett, for many
years messenger to the Georgia SEN
ate; Harlee Branch, of the Atlanta
Journal, and John C. Reese, Atlanta
correspondent of the Macon Telegraph.
Carl Hutcheson was a candidate but
recently withdrew. 1t is said that he
had practically enough pledges to
win the place, but his withdrawal has
served to complicate matters and there
is no telling which of the candidates
will win. 1t is possible that there will
be deadlock, necesitating going
outside for some one yet not men
toned.
The electors are from the state-at-
large: Judge A J. Cobb, Athens, and
Hon. Walter r. Steed, of Butler. Dis
tricts, in the order named, appear: E.
c. Collins, Reidsville; B. w. Fortson,
Arlingtonf1 J. NJ Dupree, Montezuma;
C. c. Minter, Cusseta; ]. R. Suttles,

GAL Alta Y BRIDGE

~ nee again the eys of the civ
81 IS ilized world are centered upon
81 the channel of Constantinople
w and on the Thracian Bospor-
us, which forms the outlet to
the waters of the Black sea and which
separates the continent of Asia from
that OF Europe The channel stretches
from the Black sea to the Sea of Mar
NORA and where it runs into this land
locked little body of water, CONSTANT
nople lies upon an arm of this sea
known as the Golden Horn on the Eu-
ropean side. There is scarcely bit
of water on the face of the earth
whose name appears more frequently
in the annals of human history than
this narrow channel. AS the history
of the world centers so largely along
the banks of the River Rhine since
the days of Caesar, so it centered
along the Bosporus for some thousand
years before Caesars day, and so it
has centered largely since then. All
around the Black sea, on the Asiatlc
shores and on the European, lie i'm
mensely broad stretches of the most
fertile land upon the globe. Immense
rivers drain this territory, keeping the
Black sea full and overlooking through
the Bosporus. From the first dawn of
history a large population has always
found homes on these fertile lands,
and as commerce developed its path
ways multiplied along the Euxine sea
coming down from these immense riv-
ers. On the south lay the Mediter-
ranean, a large body of inland waters
replenished by all the overflow of the
Black sea and multitudinous rivers
from the Nile to the Rhone, surround
ed by broader and richer lands, and
as commerce grew up around the Med
iterranean its paths crossed those of
the commerce of the Euxine or Black
sea, and the Bosporus became the con-
Meeting link between. Below the Sea
of Marmora the outlet for the Black
sea waters Is the strait of the Oar
danelles, shorter but broader than the
Bosporus.

Important Waterway.

so now, and is becoming increasingly
so as the years pass. With the devel-
opment of modern naval warfare the
Importance of Constantinople rises to
a Dredominance in European and Ash
attic affairs scarcely equaled by any
other point on the shores of the two
continents, and if a great power ever
gets possession of Constantinople and
controls the passage of the Dardanelles
and Bosporus it will be very possible
for it to dominate the fortunes of all
Europe At the mouth of the great
rivers that empty into the EuXine will
grow up immense cities, affording op-
mercantile marine as well as one for
naval warfare, and with the passage
between the Mediterranean and the
Euxine controlled by such a great
power these fleets would be unattacka-
BILE by the combined forces of the
world. 1t would not be a great under
taking to the engineering enterprises
of today to construct bridge over the
Bosporus which would enable railroad
trains to pass from one continent to
the other, resulting In an exchange of
commerce almost unimaginable in eX-
tent. With the Dardanelles fortified,
the Sea of Marmora and the Golden
Horn would afford a rendezvous for
merchant ships for a back country
reaching up to Vienna around the Dan
ubial provinces and into Russia, with
Asia on the other side, including the
rich territories of Palestine and on in
to Persia and the valley Of the Eu-
pirates, going on down in the path Of
Alexander's conquests into India and
to the banks of the Indus.
The nation which could make the
best use of this strategic point would
be Russia, and the Muscovite has GOV.
eted it for 200 years, but this ambi-
ton has been baked by the jealousies
Of rival European powers. The next
nation that might make the greatest
use Of the position would be Austria,
with its Hungarian annex, and popu-
lation neither purely European nor
purely Asiatic Germany ranks third
in the possibilities presented for ma
tional commercial development by the
possession OF Constantinople and the
Bosporus. But there lies between Ger
many and the straits vast population
unsympathetic because not Teutonic,
hostile to Germany's aspirations.
Great Britain, France and Italy are ut
terly out Of the question as control
ling Constantinople and the Bosporus,
but each of these nations would oppose
the control OF the advantageous point
by any of the other three because of
the power that would grow out Of such
acquisition. ...

Big TAXI
STRIKE ON
An Almost Complete Tie-up Of
LOnden Service

London. Jan. Ian almost com
plete tie-up of the taxi service in
London was effected today when
drivers carried ont the strike they
ordered last night 1T was estimat-
ed that 5000 taxi cabs stood idle In
their garages during the day, the
only ones running being a few own
ed by Individual drivers.
All Of the taxicab companies from
the largest to the smallest are ar
fected, although they declared they
had the names of many strikebreak-
ers who would relieve the situation
soon.
The trouble is largely due to the In
ability Of the companies, as they claim
to make the taxieab business profit
able When the vehicles first ap-
peared the larger companies reaped
a harvest OF profits but lately few
of the companies have been able to
pay dividends. On the other hand the
drivers claim they are unable to make
a living under the present agreement.
