By Ed L. Keen.

Omitted Press Staff COrrespondent.)
London, Oct. l3.-(By mail to New
York. THE Teuton thrust in the Bal
kans is taken more seriously by Eng,
land than any other phase Of the world
war. II has made her realize that
while as an island people with the big
gest fleet in the world, she is practi'
eally immune from direct attack, the
empire is open TO indirect assaults Of
more vital import than an actual land
ing in England.
Without doubt, Germany's ultimate
aim Is Egypt and India. II is estimated
that 100000 Turks are awaiting the
munitions Germany will furnish as
soon as Serbia Is crushed Besides
this, success in tho Balkans will i'm.
mediately solve for Germany the ques.
tion Of securing copper, cotton, corn
and other raw products which she seri'
ously needs.
Unfortunately for England, tho dan
ger TO Egypt and India concerns the
British nlore. There IL no threat

That the fountain head of the ri.

$4,000 and that the others also spent
considerable sums
Authorities inclined to believe that

that the chief of the German secret

checking the Germans in the Balkans.
Beyond doubt, there is a feeling that
the British have been guilty of hesita-
tion and incompetence and have not
aided the allies as much as they ought.
The German threat against Egypt
and India, in the wake Of a successful
outcome in the Balkans, makes the
British for the first time dependent
for assistance.
However, the Balkan situation may
eventually work out favorably for
France, and then she will be more able
to ask a new basis of understanding
among the allies. This basis must re-
