After the Conquest of Serbia.

Germany gained the chief diplo.
matte victory that it has won since
the war began when King Ferdi-
mand brought Bulgaria into al
lance with the central European
powers and Turkey. In the con-
quest of Serbia, the chief military
success of German arms has follow
ed. The fighting there has of
course been insignificant in com
parison with the tremendous cam
paigns in France and Flanders, in
Galicia and Poland, but it has &C.
complished precisely what it was
intended to accomplish, whereas
in France and in Russia the Ger.
mans have as yet been unable to
push the fighting to an actual de-
cision, in spite of their remarka
BILE display of military power,
says an exchange.
Serbia was too weak to offer any
prolonged resistance to the COM
bined armies of Germany, Austria
and Bulgaria, and England and
France could not transport a force
sufficient to crope with those arm
les until too late. Serbia is crush.
ed, and the road from Berlin to
Constantinople is open and under
German control throughout.
What next9 Very likely the
Germans will renew their talk of
peace. They are ready to discuss
peace, for they have in their pos
session nearly everything they
hoped to gain by war in Europe.
The British Empire has not indeed
been shaken; it has even got into
its possession most of the German
colonies overseas; but Germany
has won territory vastly more val
liable, and if peace were made to,
day, could insist on terms that
would make it's place in Europe
and in Asia much stronger than it
was a year and a half ago.
Tospeak frankly, however, there
is no probability that the allies
will accept or even discuss any
terms that Germany is likely to
propose. None of them except
little Serbia is conquered; none of
them is prepared to concede to
Germany the control of Antwerp,
of Constantinople, of Poland; and
one or two of those things at least
the Kaiser must offer to his people
as the price of their sacrifices and
their blood, if he is not to admit
that he has failed after all to wage
victorious war. Moreover, the
Entente powers still believe that
they can outlast AID exhaust Ger
many, and they are determined to
do it.
If, then, the talk of peace comes
to nothing, what will be the next
move on the chesaboard of war?
Berlin has unofficially said that it
will be a drive at Suez, a blow at
the very heart of the British EN-
pire, through which the lifeblood
of its commerce and naval power
constantly passes.
Aided by their Mohammedan al
lies, the Germans could no doubt
launch very dangerous blow at
the English power in Egypt; but
success would not be easy. Until
now Germany has fought on inte-
rior lines, whereas it's enemies
have fought on the periphery of
circle, and has accordingly been
a new campaign with a prompt
ness and decisiveness that its ene-
mics could not match. Has it the
men to undertake a great cam
paign in Egypt, and to guard a
thousand mile line of communica-
tion, which is open to attack at a
dozen poointsl With only a single

railway line to depend upon, can
it supply it's armies among the
sands of the desert, and reinforce
them adequately Can its subma-
rines prevent the British navy
from transporting to Egypt the
troops that will be ready to go
hither? If we are to believe the
Berlin newspapers, Germany is
confident that it can do all these
things. Its enemies believe that
it can do none of them. We may
shortly have an opportunity to
see which is right.

LOCAL TELEPHONE
COMPANIES CONSOLIDATE
Southeast Farmers Line Merged
With Center independent
Capital Stock Increased
to 100000.

At a meeting called by the Center
Independent Telephone Association
and held in this city Tuesday, the
Southeast Independent Farmers
Line, consolidated with the Center
Independent Association. This will
give the local company twenty-six
additional subscribers and cover an
important territory.
The company also increased their
capital stock from $4,000 to $6O,-
900 in order to be able to handle
the new business which they con-
template.
One of the most important ac-
tions taken at the meeting was the
appointment of committee to ar
range matters to secure connection
with Monte Vista. 1t is thought
that this will not be difficult mat
ter, as Monte Vista is anxious for
local connection with this place, and
it is thought that the Center Inde-
pendent Telephone Association will
have connections with that town by
April Center Post-Dispatch.
