The Allies Idea Of Neutrality

A most interesting phase Of the war drama Is oelng
played IN Greece Greece Is trying TO be neutral, IN
outward act if not in sympathy and thought. The CEN
traI empires ask, and expect, nothing more, though they
would Of course like the active assistance OF Greece
The entente allies are determined that Greece shall not
be neutral, and the pressure they are bringing to bear
IS becoming fleece.
The French and British forces who invaded Servia
through Greece, after landing at the port Of Salonik,
fully expect to be driven back to Greek territory along
with Servian forces who are unable to stand their ground
IN southern Servia. II Greece were to carry out her
obligations as a neutral, she would disarm and intern all
the armed forces taking refuge in her territory, just as
Holland did in the case of Belgians and British who
crossed the border after the fall Of Antwerp.
France and Britain demand that Greece shall not
oisarm the refugees, but on the contrary, that Greece
shah allow the allies to make Greek territory their base
Of operations against Bulgaria and the central empires.
The allies tried Tor a long time to force Greece into
the war on the side Of Servia against Bulgaria Failing
that, the allies invaded Greek territory and based thereon
thei- invasion into Servian territory with 4 view to
helping the Servians resist the Bulgarians.
Italy IS taking a hand, and threatens Greece with
TePrisals If Greece does not aid the allies. British,
French, and Italian waTships are blOckading Greek
ports and Selling Greek vessels. Gresce has only two
weeks provisions ahead, and faces famine if the
blockade continues.
Under such circumstances, the old argument that
Britain entered the war to defend Belgian neutrality
falls flat; no thoughtful person ever took it seriously
anyhow. Britain is fighting for the sake Of far reach
ing plans, as are her enemies. All the belligerents
VIII take what they want, 50 far as they are able,
and take It as they go.

One Way To Restore Peace

The peace Of the world" can not be restored OF IN
sured until a new balance of power Is struck. The IN
questioned and overwhelming dominance Of the British
empire in world possession and control Of trade routes
and coasts Is at an end, and justly so. 1t Is idle to talk
or to think of bringing this war to an END on a basis Of
resuming a status quo anything like that which existed
previously. The world map is being made over.
The best thing that could happen fer the peace Of
the world" for the next few centuries would be the
ABSORPTION of the Balkan states and Turkey into the
Teutonic alliance OF empire. There is no reason Why
Germany, if she desires it and can. win it, should not
region lying between Russia and the AdTiatic sea with
the exception Of Greece; together with all Of Turkey,
Asia Minor, Arabia, and MesOpOtamia, lying between
Persia and the Persian gulf, and the Red sea
Such an empire would give scope for a magnificent
campaign Of internal development, the opening up Of
great trade routes heretofore little advanced from the
DAYS of the ancients, the civilzing of backward regions,
and the normal expansion of German trade and industry
in proportion to the needs and aspirations Of a mighty
people.
Such an empire would give scope for the stoutest
efforts of the German people for many centuries to
come. It would adjust the frontiers on more rational
lines than now exist. It would put an end to the
Balkan question" as 1t has existed for centuries. 1t
would 20 far 10 solve the Eastern question" as It
concerns Turkish dominion. It would do no wrong to
Britain OF to any other power or people on earth
Should such a plan be contaminated, Germany could
well afford to open the Dardanelles, on terms at least
as free and fair as those governing the strait Of
Gibraltar.
Germany cannot be permanently barred from a
share in Asia.

After. Another Nuisance

New York has set itself the problem Of reforming
men who spit on the sidewalks and in public con-
vevances. After several years Of arresting and filming
the worst offenders, without any apparent relief from
the nuisance, the police and health commissioners have
determined upon a new system Of public education
Of grown up men in common decencies; they have de-
cided not to treat them as criminals, but TO deal hope
fully with them and try teaching them better ways
Hence $4,000 cards have been printed IN two
languages, saying, "YOu are violating the law You
are subject to fine or Imprisonment or both" These
cards are to be put in the hands Of street car EN-
ployes, to be landed out to offenders.
The individual will never take placard warnings
to himself. To arrest, fine, and imprson one man
out Of 1000 leaves too large a proportion unimpressed-
To arrest, fine, and imprisOn every man VINO spIts on
cars or sidewalks would be too wholesale to be prac-
teal Therefore the city is going to try a patient sys-
TEN of reaching each individual who needs 1t with a
bit of proper education.
It is rough on the street car men who already have
much to endure in the way Of criticism from those who
rde on the cars, but it seems to New York the only
way out Of unclean to clean.
