EUROPEAN WAR MAKING

Prolongation of Conflict "Sui-
cide,' Tageblstt's Interna-
tional Expert Asserts.

BERLIN. Aug. q
That europe, by prolonging the world
war. Is committing suicide and making
the United States the greatest world
Power, is the view taken by Prof. Geors
smmel. authority on international poli-
tics, in an article In the Tageblatt
America stands nearby as the waiting
heir at the deathbed OF rich testator,'
he wrote "Sendlng ammunition Is the
chief Indication Of this attitude Europe
sends not a small part OF its fortune to
America, and the equivalent which 1t
receives It blows into the air or rather
Il uses for the better execution of its
suicide TO hasten the succession OF
America into the world throne.
"The sending OF ammunition is not only
a commercial enterprise for the enrich
ment OF some purveyors IL is the first
great practical impulse with which Amer
lea hopes 10 accelerate the western turn
OF the hand Of world history II puts its
arms into the hands OF the European ma
tions. hoping they will kill themselves for
It's advantage and then takes huge profits.
America promotes in this single attitude
the weakening OF Europe in two ways.
II is a masterpiece OF world historical
speculation. Is Europe insane that II
commits this international hari-karl?"
Professor simmel concluded with the
declaration that the world still held
plenty Of room for both England and
Germany. ~ England would only give up
her short-sightedness" He suggested that
England and Germany, working In
harmony, could mot only keep the peace
OF Europe. but retain for Europe place
in front OF the growing powers OF America
and East Asia"
