In 1877 Russia theatsned Constan-
tinople and the dissolution OF Tur-
key In Europe seemed az hand.
But British irOn-clads steamed up
the Dardanelles and called a halt
on the Russian bayonets. Turkey
was saved and the congress OF Der
lin restored all her south Balkan
land.
AT that time Bismack declared
that the Eastern Question for
Germany was not worth the bones
OF a POmeranian Grenadier. =
decade later change began
which Is usually associated with
the kaiser's spectacular visit 10
Constantinople In 1859. Since then
Germany has conquered the Bal
kan region economically. and with
this there developed ambitious
projects for an all-rail route TO
the Persian Gulf and a connecting
line through central Asia to kai
Chau. Hand in hand with this
has come a powerful regeneration
Of Austro- Hungarian interest in
her outlet 20 the sea az Trieste and
Plume. and what Is less known. al
Salonika. The latter project in
volved a short cut TO the great
Mediterranean and Suck trade
route from the Danube via the val
leys OF the Morava and Nardar
with saving Of about 2OOO miles
In distance over the route via
Hamburg and the English Chan

plomacy OF the central European
group has been definitely directed
10 keep her from becoming strong
as appeared conspicuously at the
close Of the first Balkan war in
1913. just as the diplomacy OF the
powers blocked the Balkan states
from capturing Constantinople
during the war. All this invol-
we'd redivision OF the spells
which led TO the second Balkan
war and made the Serbian PROB
lam the focal point OF the dipio-
macy OF the two great European
groupe of powers.
The reason for Turkeys enter
ing the present war on che side OF
Germany is too lengthy TO be
discussed here. The outcome. so
far as Turkish rule in Europe
Is concerned. clear. But the ejec-
ton Of the Turk viii not solve the
Eastern Question. An important
and very difficult factor will ne
removed but others remain some
in more intense form than be-
fore.
Indeed, even now and danger
Gus complications in the Balkans
are feared from the capture OF
Constantinople by the allies and
the flight OF the Porte from STAN

RFDMOAO'S TAXI eIRL
 IS RICH IN LAUGHS

Coming back to comedy, a sphere for which they are all eminently fitted. the Redmonds last night put over the foot-lights one of the happiest and livliest hits they have scored in all their stay in this city "The Girl in the Taxi a farce comedy without a scin- tilla of high brow stuff or the least suggestion of the tragedy element, was the vehicle used by the company. And it would be hard to find a play so rich in complications wherein every mem Der of the cast was permitted to cXer- else to the full extent their talents to coaXinG from the audience copious gobs of laughter and huge quantities of mirth-shoWing no doubt, that the pub lie prefers the Redmonds in the lighter plays to those of the weepy St Elmo type and the slangy Within the Law" variety.
 Miss Higgins, in the title role. was the Frenchiest kind Of Q Mignon, and Was responsible for most of the com plications which arose and threatened to disrupt the peace of the Stewart family, owing to the proclivities of father and son for dining at late hours in the fashionable safes. Out of the remainder of the cast all of which was without exception ups to the expecta- tions the work of Roscoe Karns, Ben Erway and Ed Redmond stood out as particularly pleasing, this trio being, with the aid of Miss Higgins the big erd of the production. Hugh Metcalf was there. too. plus a blonde wig and goatee, and Eddie Mitchell, as the fainting cop. was given but small chance to show his ability in that par ticular line.
 "rhe Girl in the Taxi" is a good. clean show that satisfies the desire for comedy. is without a trace of coarse hO1se-play or vulgarity and is highly successful as laugh -getter at least in the hands Of the efficient Redmonds.
