BRYAN APPoINTEE ousTED

James M. Sullivan, minister to San
to Domingo has resigned. He was
found incompetent. Maybe one reason
why the administration found him In
competent was his disclosure OF the
notorious Bryan letter in which the
then secretary of state told him that
there were many hungry Office seekers
for the administration to take care OF
and that If he could place any, IT
would be appreciated.
Mr.. Sullivans brief term as minister
in the island republic was attended by
charges and counter charges as to his
conduct. Walker w. Wick, collector OF
customs for the United States at the
island, resigned because, 1t was stated
he had to work under unsatisfac Glory
conditions brought about by Minister
Sullivan.
Senator Phelan, during his investiga-
ton. took testimony In the Dominican
republic and in the United States at
which witnesses charged that Score
tary Bryan, in appointing Mr.. Sullivan,
had been consulted by financiers asso'
ciated with Samuel M. Jarvis OF New
York, who controlled the Banco Ma
tional at santo Domingo City which
was seeking deposits OF customs dues
collected by the United States.

Editha was holding her head
haughtily.
do you like my bouquet, Editha? 2"
asked Jim. Like 1t well enough to
keep? There's bleeding heart and
love-in-mist and-am I allowed to
have bride roses in my bouquet?' His
voice was very pleading.
Her blue eyes sparkled through the
curling lashes. Slowly she plucked
the bachelor buttons and the bleeding
heart from the bunch and threw them
aside. Then she picked two beautiful
bride roses and held out the rearrang-
ed bouquet.
"You will not need bachelor but
tons, jim" she whispered. "Or bleed
ing hearts-but these others"
He caught her to him, flowers and
all, and Teddy, from his precarious
position on Jim's broad shoulder,
shrieked Indignantly: ~
You mustn't kiss my Aunt Editha,
Mr.. Jim. 1T isn't allowed"

The crushing defeats of the Russians

The crushing defeats of the Russians
are causing anxious queries as TO
what the outcome will be. A year ago
one heard much in Germany of the
Russian menace, fear that seemed
justified by the first months OF the war.
At present, conditions are reversed;
superior training. munitions, and pos
sibly generals, are winning over num-
bers, for the Russian population IS
nearly twice that of Austria and Ger
many combined.
Had Russia ever shown any signs OF
being turn-coat, the allies might now
fear her detection. One of our lead
ing publicists has predicted that before
the war is over both Russia and Japan
will be on the side of Germany. Just
prior to his death a few months ago,
M. Witte is said to have declared that
ten years hence Russia would be fight
ing England, the only one of the allies
sure to profit by victory in the present
war, and Russia's real rival.
Such statements may, however,
make too much of past conditions.
Russia was thwarted by England IN
Asia, in the Crimean war, and in 1878,
when Russian troops were halted with
in sight of Constantinople, the long
desired goal of the eastern Slav, by
the English feet in the Bosphorus.
In those days Bismarck declared
the eastern question was not worth
to Germany the bones of Pomeran-
ian grenadier.
Since then has come the "Drang
mach Osten" and it was as protector
of the Balkan Slavs that Russia came
into conflict with Teutonic aspira-
tons. In Warsaw last July a banker
of that city told me: This time the
car will fight. When Austria an
nexed Bosnia and Herzegovina In
1908 he wanted to fight, but 1t was too
soon after the Japanese war. Again,
when Servia had to renounce access to
the Adriatic in 1918, Russia was not
prepared for great struggle. Now It
is different"
There has been a German influence
at work in Russia that the .Slav has
resented bitterly, an influence that
showed itself in trade, manufacture,
even in government. The German has
felt his great superiority to his Slav
neighbor in cleanliness, education and
efficiency, while recognizing certain
possibilities of the land and people.
Bismarck said: Russia offers won
derful material for the making Of his
tory, let but it's feminine type Of popu-
.lation be interbred with our strong
masculine Germans"
Thus with Teutonic culture en-

croaching upon her frontiers, with
German fleets blocking her in the
Baltic and with Austrian armies pre-
venting Slav predominance in the
Balkans, 1t may be questioned whether
Russia, however hard-pressed, would
desert her western allies.
On the other hand German victories
are sure to affect the decisions OF
certain Balkan states. Rumania Is In
the position of the proverbial ass be-
tween two haystacks. II she sides with
the triple entente, she might take
Pennsylvania from Austria, a province
of kindred race but separated from
her by ridge of the Carpathians.
With Lemberg again in Teutonic
hands, however, Rumania Is not apt
to attack Austria. Adjoining her on
the east is her old province Of Bess'
arabia, lost to the Tsar in 1879. Its
fertile wheat fields and fine vineyards
offer a tempting prize for an attack
upon Russia.
Bulgaria, smarting under her losses
in the second Balkan war, has been
biding her time. While she was fight
! ing Greece and Servia, Rumania, In
stigated by Russia, fell upon her IN
the rear. Now she would welcome any
revenge upon Russia while an attack
upon Servia would offer a golden op'
portunity to recover territory In cen
trail Macedonia, so hard won, then lost
to her former ally, in 1913.
Whatever the attitude of King Con-
stantine, the Greek people seemed
favorable to the allies till Italy enter
ed the war. Not only have Greeks
and Italians become the commercial
rivals Of the eastern Mediterranean,
hut their territorial aspirations are the
same in Asia Minor, the Aegian, Al
bania and particularly the fine haroor
Of Avlona. the key to the Adriatic, re-
Gently seized by Italy. 1t would be
hard to imagine Greeks and Italians
fighting side by side. Again botn
Bulgaria and Greece object to Constan'
tinuple falling into any hands other
than their own, while neither Bulgar"
nor Roumania wishes to be ouno4
state between Russia and a greater
Servia. Were Greece willing to cede
port in the AEGEAN to Bulgaria, IT
is possible that these two powers, as
we'll as Rumania, might enter the wal
with Germany and Austria.
When the melting pot Of the old
world is filled to overlooking with race
jealousies and national ambitions, ii
cannot be expected that these young
nations of southeastern Europe will
heed any other consideration than that
of self-aggrandizement.
