What the War Moves Mean
BY j. w. I. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service1
!, NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Russia's ulti-
matum to Bulgaria is the final effort
which will determine whether Or not
the car has lost the original cause
of the present European conflict. Pri-
marily the war was brought about be-
cause Russia and Austria Hungary
wanted each to exercise practically
suzrain powers over the Balkan
states. If Bulgaria refuses to heed
Russia at this juncture, Petrograd will
not recover its vanished Balkan pres
tige for many years to come.
BY permitting Russia to act alone
in addressing twenty-four hours ulti-
matum to Bulgaria, the other powers
of the "quadruple entente recognize
the cars superior rights IN the Bal
kans Russia is given a free hand to
keep her Slav protege loyal to Pan
Slav aspirations and away from the
temptations of the rival Teutonfc IN
terests. II the Sofia government pays
attention to Russia's demand, the czar
can claim that his racial influence
prevented Bulgaria from seriously adj
ding to the troubles of the allies. Rus
STA will thus be in position to claim
a paramount position IN the Balkans
even though her armies are unable to
expel the Teutons from Russian soil.
But If despite Russia's admonition,
Bulgaria enters the war with the Teu-
tons and the Turks, the cars power
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1915-10-04

in southeastern Europe will be shat
tered. Slavism cannot by any possI-
bflity then be re-established in the
Balkans by the Slavs themselves, for
the only Slav power available for the
work will be Serbia. The Serbs are
quite incapable, of course, of holding
back the Teutons and the Bulgars. II
the work is to be done at all it must
be done through the efforts of the nom
Slav nations.
Should the Austro-Germans and the
Bulgars be prevented from overrun-
ming Serbia by Great Britain, France,
Italy and possibly Greece and Rou-
mania as well. Russia would have no
claim for consideration. No dominant
control thereafter could be exerted by
the czar at the Balkan capitals be-
cause Russia would possess neither
material nor racial influences.
If Bulgaria enters the war against
Russia. she enters it also against Pan
Slavism. The two cannot be sepa-
rated, This doesn't mean that the
overthrow of Slav dominance in the
Balkans will mean the establishment
of Teutonic suzerainty. If Russia is
to be defeated over the initial cause
Of the war, so probably is Austro-Hun-
gary. In the end the Balkan states
are likely, therefore, to have more
liberty of action than before the war
and hereafter to be under the control
of no single power.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA program
OF government building, excelling any
thing in American history, will follow
the half billion dollar appropriations
which the administration expects con-
gress to vote at the coming session, for
rehabilitation Of the army and navy.
This information came today from
the highest sources.
Consideration of the defense pro-
gram has always heretofore evoked a
long drawn out discussion in congress
over the building OF warships by pri-
vate firms over the purchase of pow
der and ammunition from corporations
and the relative merits OF supplies
furnished by contract or manufactured
by the government per specifications.
Advocates OF government manufac-
ture of ammunition have solidihed .
following, however, and at this ses-
sion are expected 80 make a foruid-
able fight for government powder man
lfacturing plants. The success which
has attended the building OF warships
at navy yards Is expected to advance
the plan OF the government manufac-
tlIre Of its war vessels.
The fact that American manufac-
turers OF war supplies are now work
ing overtime on contracts for foreign
governments is also determining
factor.
The United Press learns from an
authoritative source that one OF the
impelling reasons for Secretary
Daniels appointment OF an advisory
board, was the desire to have a body
OF experts at hand for consultation Of
this plan Of governmental building.
President Wilson, 1t is known. has
been assured by congressional leaders
that $500. 100000 program of defense
rehabilitation will "go through" con-
gress provided that program takes a
new course. The group OF congress
men who have heretofore fought de-
tense bills, because Of the huge pro-
fits they gave to the armor plate and
powder trust" would give full sup
port to plan for government plants
for the manufacture of arnlor and pow
der. Letting Of contracts either to
these trusts" or the big ship build
ing companies for huge naval build
ing program would line the groun with
the little navy" advocates and seri-
ously endanger the naval program
