What Is Germany Aiming At?

Interest in the progress Of the European war shifts
the Balkans. Europe and the rest Of the world,
little blase with the loss Of 100000 or 100000
men in war, welcome a thrill There IS more IN
terest today in the dongs of the 100000 men engag
ing the Balkan movement than in the dOings of the
100000 busy elsewhere.
The troops Of the central empires Will try to cut
through Serva into Bulgaria and then force their way
to Turkey. They have than 500 miles to 60 to
reach ConstantnOple and almost far to get to the
scene Of fighting the Gallipoh peninsula.
On the way, their line viii be open on the flank
and front to attacks by immense armies of the allies,
including Servians British and French troops; Russia
viii engage the Bulgarians the coast
In many respects this is the most daring exploit Of
the whole 1t may be said to violate every rule Of
safe" strategy 1t is the act Of supreme confidence,
desperation OF utter madness-take your choice.
Relief Of pressure on Turkey cannot be the only
motive Of the central empires It is vital to the central
empires at this time that they keep the Dardanees
closed, for if the straits opened Russia could
cve supplies and export her surplus food products
to the allies in exchange. So long the straits
kept closed, Germany hold Russia. With the straits
opened, Russia would be doubly formidable.
But this military necessity would hardly justify
the Teutonic drive through the Balkans if there
no other considerations It IS probable that in this
movement, Germany Is influenced more by dreams Of
great conquest and empire than by any other consid
