A short time ago, Tulsa brought
to their town a season Of Grand
Opera.
There were a great many comments
on this move, in as much as the busi-
ness men of the city guaranteed $780,
OGO for two performances-for it was
genuine Grand Opera, with real art
lists and big symphony orchestra.
The criticism came from persons
who asserted that Tulsa was over
doing things" and putting on airs"
and all that sort of thing
However. tickets to nearly the
amount of $4,000 were sold. and the
Grand Opera season was a tremend-
Gus success.
The sum and substance was that
instead Of the streets being Uttered
up with the outfit of the usual fall
Festival or street fair, the Grand
Opera drew several thousand peo-
pie to Tulsa from all over the state
who appreciated Grand Opera. Every
one Of the persons spent Of necessity
from $500 to $4,000 on the trip,

Black show. territories occupied by Germany and her allies

But if Russia gains Constantinople she
gains also the control Of the Balkans. Bull
garia, temporarily strayed from the Slav
fold. will have to make peace with the
nation which controls the Black Sea and
dominates Thrace from the Sea of Mar
mora and the Thracian littoral. She Will
have to resume her vassalage to Russia,
or at the least she will have to renounce
her German and Austrian alliance.
Serbia. if she is restored, will remain a
Russian protege. The dangers whlcp
drove Austria into the present war VIII
be perpetuated. The Southern Slavs will
remain a source of peril. Greece will I'M
ouestionably be torn from her present
quasi-neutrality and end by becoming an
ally of the Mediterranean powers, thus
closing Salonica permanently to Austrian
commerce and Austrian naval forces.
As to Albania, conceivably Austria
would consent to a settlement which gave
Italy Albania in return for an Italian re-
nunciatlOn OF trieste anu ISL Ia, DuN 'h'"
would surrender to the Italians the con-
troll of both shores of the Straits of Otran-
to. and thus the mastery of the Adriatic.
Would Germany consent TO throw over
Turkey in order to eliminate all future
cause for trouble with Russia? Would
she sacrifice her aspirations for CONNER
cial supremacy in Asia Minor and her
dream of a Berlin-to- Bagdad imperial ex-
pansion, taking in return territories IN
Africa. and thus freeing her hands for a
future struggle with Britain? Only such
an assumption could lead TO the conclusion
that there could be present settlement
Of the Eastern Question that Russia would
accept now, or ever. And would Austria
consent, too?
On the other hand, would Russia con-
sent to abandon Serbia if Austria and
Germany abandoned Turkey; would she
consent that Austria take Salonica while
she took Constantinople? This is an old
and familiar solution Of the Eastern Cues

Trentino, which would give her safe
Alsace-L Lorraine, it is possible to see a
basis of settlement, Of permanent settle
ment, but not basis that would be &C
cepted by Italy, which as yet has not
been able to conquer in the field what she
holds to be an essential antecedent con-
dition to peace.
Poland
Germany in her peace proposals has
suggested that there should be created ar
independent Poland. If she should insist
upon this, Russia would lose some twelve
million people and about fifty thousand
square miles Of territory. But is Germany
likely to press this demand to the limit
to make it a condition sine qua non Of
peace? This may be doubted, for purely
German reasons.
To create an independent Poland would
be to decide between joining to Russian
Poland some five millions of Poles living
in Austrian Galicia or creating such a
disaffection in an Austrian province as e
threaten Austrian unity; for hitherto the
Austrian Poles, well treated as the Rus
sian and German Poles are not, have sided
with the Magyars and the Germans in the
racial conflicts that have torn the Qua
Empire.
If these Austrian Poles were Joined tC
those in Russian Poland, a state Of more
than 100000 would be created between
Germany and Austria on the one hand anc
Russia on the other, buffer state, which
might conceivably protect Germany from
Russian invasion.
But on the other hand, there are -four
million Poles in East Germany, and they
would inevitably be drawn toward then
brethren who were free. Such a dream
would threaten the very existence Of the
German Empire, for the lands inhabited
by Poles not merely stretch westward
toward Berlin, but northward TO the Bal
tic, cutting off the Germans Of East Prus
STA from those of Pomerania. Instead Of

leaning on Germany and Austria, the new
Polish state might turn to Russia, as Italy
turned to France little over half a
century ago, and enlist the Gar to COM
plete the work Of Polish unifcation as
Cavour persuaded Napoleon III to do
for Italy.
The Polish problem is the most intricate
in Europe. AS long as Russia, Austria
and Germany were equally the despoilers
of Poland a common danger united them
in preserving a hostile front to Polish as
pirations. But Russia and Austria can
part with their Polish territories without
iniuring their national solidarity; Ger
many cannot. Hence the apparent unlike
lihood that Germany will insist upon a
free Poland, if it be the sole barrier to
peace, and, as she says, she desires peace
The Eastern Question.
The Eastern Question offers problem
even more insurmountable than all the
preceding. because there seems to be nc
basis for even an approximate compro-
mise. The possession of Constantinople Is
to the Russian mind absolutely necessary
to the existence of the empire. The wa,
has proved that if Great Britain holds
Germany to ransom at the entrance of the
North Sea and Italy, France and Britain
hold Austria TO ransom in the Mediter-
ranean, Germany, while she commands the
Baltic and dominates the Dardanelles by
Turkish allience, is the master Of Russian
commercial life to a great extent.
Russia cannot now make peace without
Constantinople and not run double risk
She has been blocked for a century by
Britain. She now has British consent, but
tomorrow, the war being over and new
conditions arising, she might find Britain
arrayed against her. Her hour has come;
she has the men, she has the enthusiasm
and support Of her people in the present
war, and she has complete expectation
strengthened by recent victories in Asia
Minor, that she will be able TO reach the
goal Of the centuries.

man mind as in the French. On the other
hand, it is different in the matter of Lor-
raine, and particularly of that part of
Lorraine in which the speech is French,
the district about Metz.
If the Germans desire peace and could
obtain it by ceding Metz, Germans in this
country have already suggested that this
might be possible, provided the cession
we're in return for the similar cession by
France of French colonial domain in
Africa.
Such a settlement could be made only II

Their dreams of restoration" Of national
soil. Unless such a settlement were made
and were Loyalty accepted by both sides
the question would remain open. 1t is this
question which has weighed upon French

it is settled now it would be the basis for

Trieste and the Trentiao.

Italian desire to possess the Italian
speaking districts now under Austrian
control is quite as strong as the French
desire to regain Alsace-Lorraine. Before
the present war Austria, at Germany''
bidding, offered Italy the Trentino, almost
but not quite in accordance with Italian
desires; the town of Botzen was the only
real exception. Conceivably Austria would
now renew the offer.
In the case of Trieste, however, there Is
not the smallest chance that Austria would
part with it, unless it were taken by arms
1t is the natural port Of Austria; 1t is the
chief and only real window upon the sea
of the Austrian half of the empire. Its
population is mainly Italian, but the hin-
terland. which Italy also demands, is Ut
terly Slav. The same situation is found
in Dalmatia. A settlement could be made
here, conceivably, if Italy would renounce
her ambitions as far as the east coast OF
the Adriatic were concerned and take the

Germany's Problem.
Yet. looking at the situation as Berlin
must now face it, the facts are these: by
taking Alsace-Lorraine Germany made
France a permanent foe; by barring the
Russian road to Constantinople and taking
the Austrian side in the Balkans she made
Russia her foe; by supporting Austria
against italy in the matter of Trieste, and
against Serbia, she made foe Of Italy. by
challenging Britain on the sea she enlisted
the British in the alliance against her.
