A map the publication OF which In the
London Dduy Mad brought upon Lord
Northcliffe, its proprietor, n storm OF
attacks by supporters Of the Government.
is reproduced In u recent Issue Of
Ddhetm, a leading German illustrated
weekly, as showing what n writer In
that journal calls the establishment
caused In Great Britain by the threat
med Turco-German moves against Egypt
and India and ultimately the Far East.
Lord Northciiffe vas severely censured
by the Government In the House Of
Commons for publishing the map and
threatened with possible prosecution In
the courts. The publication was called
an unpatriotic act.
Accompanying the map IS mn article

thority on international politics.

I'VE must confess that most OF us when
the war began had nc idea that the de-
cision Of this conflict would possibly.

Our eyes were turned 10 the western
and eastern fronts. and We believed that
II We won there all would be well else
where.
Just like the English We must now
realize that the open road TO the Orient
will bring us victory. And only II we
realize this can we fully appreciate the
fac; that for us. 100. TINS war becomes
a world war and not merely a struggle

The writer. after describing the map
and giving IA translation OF the Daily
Nuts comment on Its lessons, continues 4:
I'VE see how great II the excitement

English are now about TO lose their
heads and to confine themselves to such
outbursts % excitement.

.ealize-lest we be iisillus,oned-that for
the British this war has actually as
sunied an entirely different aspect from
the mn that Gerinany's arms and
those of her allies reached u for the
Orient.
"In England the man in the street
