expected to suggest a program of territorial remuneration on the
east and the west, is regarded here as largely answered beforehand
by information revealing for the first time the full scope of the i'm
perial governments aspirations for conquest in the south.
This information discloses as one of the primary aims of the
war a plan for consolidation of an impregnable military and eco
nomic unit stretching from the North sea to the Mediterranean,
cutting Europe permanently in half, controlling the Dardanelles,
the Aegean and the Baltic and eventually forming the backbone of
a Prussan world empire.
In the light Of German history the plan shows how implicitly
the kaiser has followed out the blood and iron policy of Bismarck
for development of Prussian power. Considered in view of the
present war map it shows that the major portion of the kasers
war program has been accomplished, regardless of what DISPOSE
ton is made of conquered territory in France, Belgium and Rus

Greater Prussian Plans.
A full realization of this situation, which will form 4 sinister
background for consideration of whatever remuneration proposals
the imperial chancellor may make, adds a new force to the repeat
