What War Moves Mean.
IN ]. ". Z. Masonl

New York, June Indications are
increasing that Germany is becoming
alarmed at the prospects Of the Bal
kan countries entering the war.
There were several SIGNS of dis
quielude at Berlin. The most signifi-
cant was the preoccuped, obviously
worried admission made by the for
eign office To Carl w. Ackerman that,
while the Lusitania notes are big
question for America, yet Germany
faces other questions.
As apparently serious as the Ger
man American relations are, they are
tending to become subordinate to the
growing menace Of the Balkans. With
NJ. Venizelos returned to power, it is
reported that Rumania is obtaining
satisfactory price from Russia.
The preparedness Of Rumania and
Greece To enter Immediately ON hos
tilities and their ability to send into
the field 100000 men shows why the
Germans are centering their attention
on the Balkans.
Despite the victories in Galicia and
the inability of the Allies to progress
in the West, the present is the most
critical time for the Germans since
the beginning of the war. If Greece
and Rumania war with Turkey, Aus
tria-Hungary may be beaten quickly
and Germany may be compelled either
to sue for peace or continue the wa
alone.
Balgaria's resentfulness of the way
the other Balkans plundered her after
the Turkish war is Germany's chic
hope of keeping the Balkans neutral
Greece and Rumania have no means
of knowing whether Bulgaria will
suddenly attack them. Germany Is
encouraging this suspicion. The Ger
man diplomats are facing problems
greater than those faced by the Ger
man general staff.
