Paris, Nov. 10.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press).-The Balkan question,
formerly internal with Macedonia as the
chief stakes and the states ranged
against each other or against Turkey
over this rich bone of contention, has
undergone a complete change within the
past few months.
Some of the Macedonian issue still re
mains, between Bulgaria and Serbia. but
IL is almost lost in d far greater issue.
international instead of Internal, as the
two great warning elements in Europe
have suddenly recognized these little
Balkon states controlled the high-road
from northern Europe to the Orient-the
link between German and Austria in the
north and that vast vista Of sleeping
power in the sontheast-Turkey and the
Dardanelles, Egypt and the Suez canal.
Asia Minor and the Persian gulf. and the
overland route straight from Berlin to
the Far East.
So that the petty Balkan disputes
which have been going on for years are
now suddenly merged into greater in
ternational drama. in which the Balkans
are a mere incident, the supreme issues
now being:
For the Quadruple Ailies-to hold the
Balkan states intact as far as possible,
as solid wall or buffer between the
Austro-Germans in the north and their
imperial goal in the south; Turkey. the
Dardanelles. Egypt and the East.
For ustro-Germany-to divide the
Balkans as much as possible. state

Bulgaria. favorable to the Austro-der-
mans aim Of direct route from Ger
many to Turkey and the Orient.
A Biz international Game
This shift of the Balkan issue. making
it part OF a great international game in
stead OF a petty struggle OF small states,
has come about within the last four
months. The allied powers were slow in
realizing it. and their negotiations with
Bulgaria and Serbia up TO recent date
treated the question as the old fight over
territory in Macedonia. But all the time
Germany was setting the scenes in tho
larger drama-the winning OF Bulgaria
and the linking OF the Central Powers to
Turkey and the Near East.
Each OF the Balkan states has a num-
her of issues involved in the new strug-
gle-Some explanation OF these has been
gathered from official and diplomatic
sourcee-Serbian. Bulgarian. Grecian and
Rumanian-and from other available
quarters, showing the respective view
points about as follows:
Bulgaria considers herself the ag-
-rieved party of the Balkans. She
claims TO have done most Of the fight
irg against Turkey over Macedonia.
nd TO have received the least OF the
reward, the bulk going to Serbia and
Greece which. Bulgaria claims, did
OF do the hard fighting. The Bulgari-
u legation furnished The Associated
i'ress with a pamphlet reiew of its
case, showing the following distribu-
ton of the territory taken from Tur-
key:

SOUTHERN ELIMINATING ,
MANY GRADE CROSSINGS

Danville, Vain connection with
the double track work which 1t has
had under way in Virginia and North
Carolina during the past fiscal year on
1924 miles of it's Atlanta-W Washington
line, Southern Railway has eliminated
81 out of 70 grade crossings. By tho
building of underpasses 20 were elm.
mated, by overhead bridges 10, and
by changing the direction Of public
highways Is. The 10 which remain
are SO located as to make their elimi.
nation physically impossible o. they
involve prohibitive damages to abut-
ting property.
In all construction work involving
tho relocation or double tracking Of
its lines the fixed policy of Southern
Railway Company is to separate all
important highway crossings Of the
revised lines wherever practicable.
Though this policy e large add.
tional expense, such expense is under
taken as a permanent investment for
safety.
Southern Railway has also co-operat-
ed with municipal and county author.
tiles in the elimination of many dan.
gerous crossings on others Of its lines
throughout the South. It has devoted
to work Of this character as much as
its and other obligations
make possible and President Fairfax

Atlanta, Ga.-More than sixteen and

greater than the combined population
of Virginia, North Carolina, South Car

Of Southern Railway Company:
"The automobile has greatly in
creased the comfort and convenience

when it revolutionized commerce, the
automobile has Introduced new social
complications and new risks, moral as
well as physical.
"The American people are said to
be Enthusiastically reckless of hui
man life, and perhaps in nothing is
this statement more justified at the
moment than in relation to the use of

My particular interest in the ques-
ton is, where my public responsibility
lies, in the combination of the two

without seeking to avoid Just re-
sponsibility for what the officers Dr.
employees Of the railroad do or omit,
but recalling that a railroad employee
whose carelessness auses an acct
dent is, in the public interest, subject
to discipline which affects his liveli-
hood. it is probably fair to say that
a large proportion Of these accidents
happened solely through the careless
ness of the drivers Of automobiles,
or their lack Of experience in dealing
with vehicles at high speed. There
are among them also well authenticat-
cd cases of deliberate assumption of
risk by the drivers Of automobiles
from pure love Of excitement and
speed, evidenced by racing with trains
and seeking the thrill Of a narrow es-
cape. Our enginemen report such &C.
urrenc daily. If fortunately they
are without fatal consequences in the
great majority Of cases, they are al
ways paid for by a heavy strain on
the nerves Of all concerned, particu-
larly those Of the locomotive engineer,
who maintains speed from duty and
not for fun. 1t is not too much to
claim for the locomotive engineer a
larger equipment of experience and a
greater habit of precaution than the
average automobile driver. AS a class
the locomotive engineers are sober,
steady and conservative men of long
experience in meeting and avoiding
risks, for theirs is a dangerous occu-
patton. Their every effort Of charac-
ter, Of instruction and Of interest is
to avoid an accident. Most of the &C.
cidents to automobiles at railway
grade crossings could be avoided if
there was the same restraint Of ex-
perience and attention at the wheel
Of the automobile as at the throttle
Of the locomotive.
Public vitality Interested
ut does not suffice the public in
any moral sense that the fund made
up of the collected by the
railroad is usually made to respond
in damages for consequences Of such
accidents. Suicide to collect life in
a has never been deemed hon.
orable, while no one would deliberate.
