GERMANY IN THE BALKANS

Enough is known about German
propaganda to make it reasonably
certain that methods lately exposed
IN the United States have been en-
ployed also in handling the German
end of negotiations with the Balkan
states. 1t does the little states of
that troubled region no great injus-
tice to venture that such proceed
ings might be more effective there
than here.
"A government that would gravely
undertake the stupendous task of
corrupting the United States of
America, that would assume the pos
sibility Of giving a new direction to
the overwhelming public opinion of
lOo,000,00O people, would hardly
hesitate to tackle that Same enter
prise with public Of q few millions.
Balkania is even more immediately
important to the Teutonic federation
at this moment than Is the United
States. Germany might win the war
with the United States neutral: It
would have q strong prospect Of
winning if it could get tho United
States to embargo trade with the
allies; but it has small chance to
win, at least at the Turkish end, If
the Balkan countries resuscitate
their league and launch their power
into the struggle on the allies side.
Never was such an impressive
testimony to the possibility of an in
significant country becoming the
worlds pivot as has been seen In tho
case Of Bulgaria. If 1t gives the
word the four Balkan countries,
Greece, Roumania, Serbia, and Bull
garia, will be leagued together once
more; first, to complete the task Of
crushing the Turk; then to turn
their splendid armies against Aus
tria and help the major allies break
her down.
II is difficult situation for diplo-
macy to handle. for the masses Of
people in no one of the Balkan states
save Greece are very powerfully
moved by sympathies for either side
in the world war. They hate Tur-
key, it is true; but also they fear
the consequences Of Constantinople's 3
fall. 1t is quite understandable that
they might consider their own future
safer with Constantinople left In tho
hands Of an exhausted Turkey sitter
this war rather than in control Of
Russia or internationalised under
the auspices of the victorious allies.
' may safely suspect that German
money and propaganda have been
busy trying to convince the Balkan
peoples that Germany is their real
friend.
From an Occidental viewpoint 1t Is
impossible to believe that the Ger
Hlan argument deserves considera-
tion by the Balkans. German policy
for two decades has looked to the
Near East, to Constantineple, and
far beyond. as a field for expansion,
and that expansion cannot be ac-
complished and It's results consoli-
dated without the absorption in
some way of the little Balkan states.
1t is plain enough that even if these
states should now side with Ger
many and enable her to win they
would merely be pestpsaias tbs day

Ex-Congressman SANKEY'S reputa-
ton as a lawyer has suffered some
what from the press reports of the
election crook trials now being held
at indianapolis. This may be some
dark scheme of Haley, Rhea and COM
pany to injure his prospects for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton. II is too bad that a man who
gave up a good job, in quest of anoth-
er and lost, cannot earn an honest
penny without having his motives inn
pugned.

Heart Action Restored After Man is
Pronounced Dead.

Boston. March 30.-After Willard
Q; Wallace, of Pittsburg, an alleged
Confessed swindler, who took poison
in the city prison today, had been
pronounced dead, his heart action
was restored by massage and he lived
in an unconscious condition three
hours more before he was again de-
clared dead.
Wallace was on his way to court
to answer charges of larceny by false
drafts on banks at New Orleans, San
Francisco and Portland, Ore, when
he told an inspector that he had
swallowed poison. After hospital
physicians had worked over the man
for an hour the y declared him dead,
no heartbeat being perceptible and
turned the body over to the medicinal
examiner,
II was nine minutes later when, by
the medical examiners permission,
Or. William II. Brickley, OF the
hospital staff, began trial OF man
ual massage. An incision five inches
in length was made and thru this
DR.. Brickley thrust his hand and
gently massaged the heart.
In fifteen minutes the color of the
mans face changed from purple to
red and heart action was once more
apparent. With constant massagine
by eight members of the hospital staff
working in relays, life was maintain
ed for three hours.
When arrested last night Wallace
was allowed to keep about 5000 in
his possession. This he spent on din
ners for himself and four men who
were confined in nearby cells. i've
had high old time for the last few
months. | don't like to stop" he il
said to have told the cell attendants
The police say that Wallace had
been variously known as c. x. Hitch
cock, Claude Howard and S. IL. Con
, rad.

unemployment in any part of the
United States, according to w. 5.
Cousins. editor of the American
Banker. Mr.. Cousins does not give
this merely as an expert opinion, in
ex cathedra fashion. He gives facts
and figures to show that so far as
the United States is concerned the
influence of the war has been slim
ulating beyond all precedent" But
il was unnecessary for him to re-
mind us of this fact. Secretary Red
field has been making exultant re-
ports of the enormous increase in
American exports. While manufac-
lures of war supplies contribute to
the total, there has been an increase
all along the line. The exports of
foodstuffs have reached proportions
to cause some alarm. Nor is there
prospects of falling off. Even should
the Dardanelles be opened and an
outlet for Russia's wheat thus af-
forded. there would, as Mr.. Cousins
points out, be no reduction in the
demand for American products. In
fact, such opening would provide a
market heretofore closed to Ameri-
can goods.
That industrial depression had
struck this country long before the
European war began was a matter
of general knowledge. The president
had offered is naive explanation as
to it's psychological" character, but
this did not impress the men and
women who had been thrown out of
employment. In the great industrial
centers the situation was so marked
that it was reflected in the election
return in November. The great Agri-
cultural sections of the country had
just begun to feel the effects of a
home market which had been hurt
by reduced buying power and also
by importation of products from 9TH
er lands, when the war created a de-
mand which counteracted these ten
denotes. But for the war the rebuke
of the national administration would
have been as severe in the West as
in the East.
1t may be asked, in view of the
stimulating effects of the war on
American industries, why there is not
greater prosperity. The bank state
ments suggest the explanation. The
banks are glutted with money, which
is not being loaned on long terms
Nobody except Democratic politicians
has any confidence in the future as
long as the Democratic party is in
power. Right or wrong, it is consid-
cred hostile to business and all the
rhetoric of the president and his cab
met officials cannot overcome the
general feeling. 1t is this condition
which has moved even the Demo-
cratic members of Congress, whom
Senator Stone recently scolded, to
predict the election of a Republican
president next year
