that loan of $4,000. 900 was wanted.
and England provided it. Nobody yet
knows how Rumania will come out of
The struggle. but she is not likely to
regard the British loan as binding her
commercially to Great Britain. except
as Great Britain may want her surplus
wheat.
Bulgaria, before hostilities broke out.
had negotiated a loan of $100,00O.00O
in Germany to repair the waste of her
war with Turkey. which was made
more complete by the subsequent war
with Greece and Serbia, her former al
en- the German capitalists. including
the exploitation of the coal mines.
No advance had been made on this
loan when the present hostilities broke
out Germany. however. not long ago
advanced S30.000,O00. and the intima-
tion was that. notwithstanding the
tremendous drain on her resources, the
full amount would be paid over. One
hundred million dollars is not big
price for Germany to pay for Bull
saria's neutrality, or for her possible
alliance.
The United States always has looked
on the Balkans as purely European
prize puzzle. AT the same time there
has been sentimental interest in
them. The Bulgarian atrocities, when
Disraeli was eXerting the full power
of the British empire to smother the
publicity given them and to maintain
the Turk in Europe, excited as much
indignation in the United States as
they did with that large section of the
British public which responded to
Gladstone's denunciations. There were
many Bulgarians in this country, and
their presence also added to the feeling
of sympathy.
Rumania has been known only IN
general way, because few RumanlanS
come to the United States. and there
has been little direct intercourse.
good many Americans have identihed
the Rumanians with the gypsles and
let it got at that. A few months ago
a commission came from Rumania to
the United States to buy war muni-
tions.
Serbia. for time, was the object OF
reprobation. where the little country
was thought of at all This was large
ly the reflex of English public opinion.
During the Balkan war, and afterward.
during the war of Greece and Serbia
with Bulgaria, while II was difficult TO
determine whether the Serbians com
mitted more atrocities than the Bull
garianS, the general trend OF opinion
was not favorable to the Serbians, not
withstanding that these had some able
SpokeSmen IN the Cnlted STATES.

The outbreak of the present war and
the heroism of the Serbians in their
stand against Austria changed public
opinion, and since then they have re-

which this will have on the general ad-
justment of the Balkan question
The purchases of the United States
from the Balkan states have been very
limited, because there was no occasion
to buy agricultural products Some OF
their special products, such as the Bull
garian altar of rose. find a market in
this country In return. they are con
sumers of cottonseed oil
Agricultural machinery is the chief
commodity received from the United
States. With the development of Bal
kan agriculture under peace conditions,
and the advance from primitive meth
DDS. the market for farm implements
VIII be largely increased. There will
also be market for miscella neous
products which are wanted by an aeri-
cultural people
statistics of exports or imports do
not give the real measure of the com
merce of the United States with the
balkan states. because so much OF II
has been transshipment traffic through
other European countries. but with All
OF them there has been trade, and
American commodities are favorably
known.
The most important thing for Amerf-
can manufacturers to realize is that
the future trade will be more and more

mean American goods viii be less de-
pendent on transshipment from Ger

Constantinople, whatever its interna-
tlonal status may be, will continue as
a distributing center for the Balkans,
syet It's Importance is not likely to be
increased. This is because each OF the
Balkan countries will seek to en-
courage trade through its own ports.
Before the war broke out there was
direct steamship communication by
one of the German lines between Con-
stanza and New York. The Rumanian
government after peace comes will
seek to encourage this direct steam
ship service. Bulgaria will encourage
traffic through Narna and Borgos. and
Serbia through SaIoniki All this
means lessenins the overland traftic
through Germany and Austria
Diplomatic relat ations of the United
states with the Balkan states will in
huence future trade relations At
present the United States accredits a
minister to Rumania, Bulgaria and
Serbia. His headqua uarters are at Bu-
charest, in Rumania. But he visits
the other capitals.
Until recently. none of the Balkan
states has had diplomatic or consular
representatives in the United states
Bulgaria few months ago took the
lead by accrediting minister to
Washington. Rumania viii be likely
to do the same when the war clouds
roll away. Whether Serbia will feel
justified in establishing a legation is
doubtful But there may he a new

The United states in due Time will
reciprocate the action of Bulgaria BY

No one will venture to predic, at the

BY CHARLES M. PEPPER.

E|1HE Balkan background of the
European war looms bigger
as the area of hostilities
x spreads. The chapter of diplo-
matte intrigue in which the belliger-
ents are engaged, if it ever should be
written, would be an amazing contri-
button to the history of the war. Most
likely it never will be written. but
some of its outlines are clear enough.
There is trade at stake, and COM
mercial control, as well as the graft
feat tion of national aspirations.
In the economic sense there is no
reason why there might not be one
great Balkan state. The resources of
Rumania, Bulgaria and Serbia are es-
sentially similar. But there are the ra-
cial questions of Slav and Latin and
Teuton, and the religious issue of
Mohammedanism and Christianity of a
barbaric sort.
These fundamental differences are
sufficient to prevent the creation of
