ed forward toward Bagdad. Writing
in the Berliner Tageblatt, DR.. Emil
Ludwig is frankly delighted. He
says:
Now that the Serbians have been
overcome and the Danube finally
cleared of Serbian mines, goods for
Germany can come from Asia Minor
to the Danube and then up stream as
far as is necessary. Many import
ant things can be sent from this
wealthy Asia Minor more easily,
cheaply, and in greater quantities
than before. Especially wool from
the Maeander plain and other parts
not first class wool, it is true, but still
eminently useful for the needs of our
campaigns. Then cotton from the
Adana district, copper from the Eu
pirates mines, and opium from the
many poppy fields, for the manufac-
ture of morphia and chloform."
From the great commercial port of
Hamburg comes another apprecia-
tion Of what the future contains now
that the territorial unity of the cen
tral powers and their allies has been
effected. The Hamburg Fremden-
hiatt ANTICIPATES the completion Of
the Bagdad railroad when it writes
"a single line of rails will stretciI
from Hamburg to Bagdad and that
road will be free for the passage of
German products to Turkey and OF
Turkish goods to us. A united com
mercila sphere will stretch from the
North sea to the Persian gulf and
as far as the frontiers of India, and
the rich products of Asia Minor-es-
pecially grain and cotton--can now
find their way to the central powers
without England's fleet being able 70
interfere. Moreover, this means the
final collapse of the English scheme
Of cutting off Germany and Aus
tri-Hungary from all the raw pro-
ducts OF the world and it means for
US the possibility of continuing the
war for an unlimited time without
having to impose upon ourselves the
slightest restrictions"
The Fremdenblatt considers that
the beginning of the end has come,
and goes on to refer to the next step
in the war, with which we deal in
another article. The Hamburg or
gan continues:

against Egypt. Thus the exchange
of goods between the members Of
the new quadruple alliance will ac-
quire decisive Importance for the re-
suit Of the world war. {. -. For this
reason we can say that the war has
entered upon a decisive stage"
While this is all entirely true in
theory, says the Essen organ of the
krupps. it is doubtful whether it is
altogether easy in practice. The hard
headed Rheinische Westphalische lei
tung then proceeds to remark:
Whoever knows that the sea
freight TO Buenos Aires from Ru-
hort ON the Rhine is less than the
railroad freight from Ruhort to Ber-
lin will shake his head when he hears
that masses of goods are to be thrown
to aud fro by rail from Asia Minor to
Hamburg. The idea that the Bal
kan and Bagrad railroads can in any
way support the burden of our eco
nomic life is fantasy. The Ger
man empire is not situated on the
Dardanelles or on the Persian gulf,
but ON the North sea, and it will only
be free if the North sea is free.
