! ed, because of European greed of the
great jewel, Constantinople. The Turk,
weak and wicked, has suited the see
ond purpose of each one of the great
powers, the first being to control Con-
stantinople, the second, to keep all tbs
others from controlling it
! Russia more than a half-century
ago, began the policy of fostering the
spirit of nationality among the south
ern Slavs. Not that she wanted free
dom for them; she really wanted to
Cypress them. But that was fmposs1-
BILE, and it was better to have Constan-
tinople fall into hands of men under
obligation to Russia than to have it
taken over by another great power.
How little the Slavic factor counts i
proved by Russia's use of Roumania,
which. is not Slavic at all.
Now just as Austria, Russia and En-
gland have each coveted Constantine
pie for decades, and France and Ger
many have been intent to prevent its
falling into the hands of any one o.
them, so three of the little Balkan
states have each it's dream of empire.
There are the Greater Greece, the
Greater Seryia and the Gratr Bulgaria
ideas, each contemplating an empire
renewing the glories of the past, real
or legendary, and each idea possible of
realization only on condition of the
conquest of adjacent districts and the
su5jugation of neighboring peoples
: with different plans for their own fu-
ture.
When Austria reached out her hand
to crush Servia, all the weight of the
Austrian ambition for the conquest
of the Balkan peninsula and it's capital
was behind the move. Russia inter
, vened, because with Austria on the
, Aegean and ultimately in Constant
nopIe, Russia's access to the Mediter-
ranean would be cut off. There the ex-
ceptional situation of the city played
its part again. England was at once
! intensely interested not alone because
of the possibility of German violatioa
Of Belgian neutrality but because Aus
trian control of the Aegean would
mean command of the short sea route
to India through the Suez canal And
when the nations after abortive at
tempts to negotiate, fell on each 9th
er's tanks, there operated the moral
factor; there the utter lack of good
faith, in view of a helf-century of lies
and Misrepresentation and intrigues.

Keep Faith With Yourself.

Success in life means keeping one's
faith with oneself and with ones
friends. 1t means being content to
travel along the path of Righteousness
in spite of the fact that worldly good
and ease do not lie along that path.
Most of all it means ito be honest, to
be kind, to earn a little and to spend
little less" and to take joy in the
world and to spread happiness and joy

Prime Cause of Europe's Gigantic Struggle

~
+ ed them: IF they lie to you, lie you
the more to them" The profession o.
diplomacy, since that day has lived
I'D to the spirit of its founder.
The hinterland of Constantinople is
wild and mountainous region where
meet Slavs, Turks, Greeks and other
races, like the Albanians and the Rou-
manians, of whose origin no exact ac-
count may be given. These narrow
valleys and upland slopes have been
for centuries the scene Of robbery, ar
son, pillage, outrage and murder. In
this region have met the power of the
Turk, the power of the Russian and
the power of Austria. Neither Aus
tria nor Russia has been permitted to
racify the Balkans or to posses them
because this task would carry with it
control of the splendid prize to the
southeast.
Here has operated the great moral
factor referred to. None of the great
powers has trusted any other. Anyone
sitting down and looking dispassion-
ately over the treaty of Berlin, which
settled" the relations Of the Bal
kan states, and then glancing at the
history written since that time will see
that all the powers that signed it have
ignored it when it suited their pleas
ure, and that their dealings with the
Turk, so far as his obligations under
it are concerned, show the moral cow
ardice of those who, defaulters on
their own pledges, have not dared to
insist that others fulfill theirs.
The reason why the Balkins have
remained the great open sore of Eu-
rope is not that there were Slavs on
one side, Teutons on another and Turks
on third. There has been too much
facile explaining of trouble there in
terms of ''irrepressible racial antagon-
ISM" The main trouble has been lack
of plain good faith with each other on
the part Of nations, and this has been
as marked between the Teutonic PEG,
Piles as it has been between the Teuton
and Slav. In England, Russia, France,
Austria and Germany had been able
to trust each others covenanted prom
ises and to believe eacn others pro-
/ fessions, the eastern question would
long ago have been settled. Thousands
of innocent men and women have been
murdered in the Balkans in a single
year and the Unspeakable Turk has
been retained long years in Europe,
not because one nation was Teuton
and another Slav, but simply because
all were false in faith and word. Each
has commented on and emphasized the
shortcomings of the others, so that
each has felt justified in its own sins
and its own suspicious.
This racial" talk is much overdone.
Russia, we are told, is helping, Servia
because of "Pan-Slavic enthusiasm -
and Austria is fighting Servia because
|, of Teutonic jealousy of Slavs. Non
sense! If Russia is so strongly pro-
Slay. why was she one of the wolves
that tore the bleeding body of Slavic
Poland in three, and why have the un-
happy Poles felt so strongly the weight
of her hand? Brigandage and outrage
have been stopped in many other quar-
tiers of the world by the hand of civil
! izatiOn curling barbarism. In the Bar,
kans alone they have gone on uncheck.

they may be all you have, but conceal
them like vice, lest they should spoil
the lives of better and simpler people.

(From The St. Louis Republic.)

We in America are far enough from
the theater of war in Europe to take a
birdseye view of causes. Among them
we find the most wonderfully situated
city in all the world, race of nomad
warriors from the Altai mountains IL
Central Asia, a streak of sea water
between yellow sand banks, and the
ingrained tendency of Occidental ma
lions to lie to each other.
We begin with the ity-Constantino-
pie. Get map of the Mediterranean
countries and look at it's situation.
There, between the island-studded
Aegean and the Black sea, lies little
sea, Marmora. 1t has two gateways,
each long and narrow strait. At this
seas northeastern end, close by the
gate through which pours the overflow
Of the Black sea, there is a long and
narrow arm of deep water, the famous
Golden Horn, large enough to hold the
ships of all the world Across from
the mouth of this bay is Asia. Behind
it rise rock hills, easily capable o:
strong defense. This is the site #
Constantinople.
The power that holds it commands
at once the Black sea, the Aegean and
the Eastern Mediterranean. A fleet in
the Sea of Marmora, with Dardanelles
, and Bosphorus closed is secure, not
only from attack, but from observation
When it makes ready to strike it may
, choose between southern Russia, the
Black sea coasts of the Balkan states,

the African lands of the eastern Med

of things that the power controlling
it should daminate all the trade routes
between Orient and Occident. This is
the splendid prize which the settlement
Of the eastern question must award.
1t is now held by the Turks, Cen
trail Asian nomads with an Arabian
creed, whose strength conquered Con
