UPHILL FOR RUSSIA

There is an old Russian proverb
that "the way to Constantinople
goes over Vienna" The ill-fated
campaign in the Carpathians seems
to have had the double purpose of
opening a route to the Austro- Hun
garian capital and of so impressing
the Balkan states that they would
fall over one another in haste to
join the entente powers.
1t is remembered that about that
time General Pau was in the Bal
kans, carrying on negotiations with
the governments there. The Car
pathian campaign appears to have
been intended to synchronize with
the attempt of the Anglo-French
land forces, in cooperation with
their fleets, to force the Dardanelles.
If Russia had succeeded in de-
scending upon the Hungarian plains
there is small question that Rou-
mania would have made haste to
offer her army to the allies, bring.

cations, with the promise of the
early fall Of the Ottoman capital.
Russia's failure in the Carpath
ians and in Galicia renews the life
of the sancient proverb. The Czars
always have found Vienna interven
ing between them and their aspira
tions concerning the Balkans anc
Constantinople. There has been NJ
cessation of Russia's efforts to dom
mate Balkania and insure for her
self the succession to the Darda
nelles since her successful intrigu,
with England which overthrev
Austrian primacy in Europe's af
fairs and bestowed independence
upon Greece, an undertaking Wen
ma had opposed in the interest o
Legitimacy" But Austria wa
never again deceived on any matte
affecting the Near East, and ha
been constantly hostile to all Mus
covite designs and activities affect
ing it.
When headed for Vienna, which Ma
poleon twice entered, Russia per
haps believed that Austria Hungar
would soon be compelled to retir
from the war. Russia knew tina
the cords which tie together tn
various parts of the Austro-Hun
garian empire can be severed, an
was seeking to reach them with he
bayonets. But Germany was no les
informed, and the Kaiser dispatche
millions of men to beat back the ir
vasion that threatened to destro
two allies at one blow. By the tr
umph of his troops he has give
at least a respite to Turkey, an

FISH TRUST INQUIRY
Is BEGUN IN JERSEY
Legislative Committee Seeks
to Trace Distribution
Of Supply.

TRENToN, Dec. 1.-lnvestigation OF the
fishing industry along the New Jersey
coast to determine the effect Of an ,al-
legged ash trust on the cost Of living was
undertaken to-day by "a legislative com.
,nittee OF which Assenblyman Edward
Schoen is chairman. The committee will
meet again at Ocean City next week..
when pound net operators will be surn-
moned to tell about their business.
1t was shown that there arc 1t7
licenses Issued by the state for ocean
and bay pound nets. from which the
State derives a total revenue Of $3.50.
There Is no Limitation upon the number
of licenses, the only restriction being the
proximity of one pound to another. The
number OF fish caught in 1912 was ~.
500. O66 In 1919 II was 3l.S91,4S9. and
In 1914. 3 1881. O40.
The committee will seek go bring u
that the fishing tndustry is controlled
by a trust which arbitrarily fixes prices
that practically the entire catch IN
bought and shipped 10 points Ia New
York or Pennsylvania and thence
transshipped 10 New Jersey for sale as
greatly enhanced prices.
It has been a complaint that jersey
resorts could not obtain an adequate
fish supply from the pounds In their i'm
mediatc vicinity because OF the control
exercised over the business by the trust.
