| 1t is natural. it was inevitable, that
! q world with it's attention fixed upon
the European battlefields should see in
! the fight for the Dardanelles, for Con-
stantinople. one phase of the struggle
! to defeat the immediate German ends
and aims. Thus the observers have
pretty generally agreed that the fall of
Constantinople would mean the NUM-
tioning of Russia, the brea king of that
blockade of winter and the kaiser
which has shut off the armies of the
car from the ammunition of his allies,
the elimination of Turkey from the
battle line of the central powers and
the permanent disposal of the Balkan
problem. for the present war.
Once the allied flags fly in Pera, once
the Bosporus and the Dardanelles are
open to the passage of the allied fleets,
and, what is quite as essential, closed
to those whom the allies desire to shut
out, Rumania and Bulgaria will have
to make their terms with the masters
of ByZantium and Greece can be ignor-
ed as negligible quantity. In the
same fashion any Turkish attack upon
Egypt and the Russian frontier can be
reckoned unlikely, for after the fall of
the capital there is small chance that

and his Young Turks, Will long sur
vive the disaster.
So far and in terms of the immediate
strategy of the war, the value of Con-
stantinople in the game has been pretty
clearly grasped by the ordinary OBJ
server. Yet this is only minor angle
of the greater problem. Constantinople
will not merely bring down in it's tall
the last remaining walls of Osmanli
empire in Europe. it will mean the
complete breakdown of the most ambi-
tious, the most colossal of all the Ger
man bids for place in the sun. 1t will

in Berlin, only now beginning to lose
it's power. to awaken apprehension in
London, Paris and Petrograd OF Ger
man advance along the road of Alex
ander the Great from the Bosporus to
the Euphrates, from Byzantium to Bag
dad, and beyond to the frontiers of In
dia itself.
1t is this aspect of the fate of Con-
stantinople that has a permanent in
terest and value and deserves a passing
notice even now, when the immediate
interests of battle are uppermost in all
minds.

Italy Takes Alarm.

In 1908 the Young Turkish revolution
temporarily interrupted German plans.
For the moment it seemed as if the new
order would look to London and Paris
above all, it seemed likely that it might
create strong Independent Turkey,
and this would be fatal to the whole
German plan. In fear of this, Austria
annexed Bosnia. which she had long
occupied with the consent of the con-
cert of Europe given at Berlin.
But the annexation of Bosnia had a

include . knowledge Of buying and
