AWAKE, AMERICANS!

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-Bully for you and the LEDGER
There are some Americans In the United
States. 1t did my heart good to read your
ringing words in this evenings paper. Here
are my sentiments;
Awake, Americans. awake!
North, South, East and West.
In time OF peace prepare for war
And calm this great unrest.
Our very unpreparedness
Invites q foreign foe,
Whose aim to dominate the world
Was thought out years ago.
Awake, Americans, awake
Remember Eelgiums fate,
And be prepared to stopra foe
Before II 10 too late.
WILLARD SPENSER.

WILSON BLOCKS
MIDDLE EUROPE
His Peace Plans Would Make
Realization of the German
Imperial Dream I'm
possible
BY GILBERT VIVIAN SELDES

LONDON, February 2s.

LONDON, FEBRUARY so
THE bugbear of Great Britain at the
l. present writing is a myth. The name OF
II Is "Mittel-Europa.' and 1t is perhaps the
most costly myth in the history OF the
world. Helen of Troy cost less than Mittel-
Europa costs in a day.
IL is only fair to say that this Is one or
the myths which can be realized. and the
Allies have found out. recently, that they
are fighting to prevent Mittel-Europa. or
Central Europe. from becoming a reality.
To the credit of the Germans. they dis
covered that they were fighting to accom-
piish Central Europe considerably before
most Brtons woke up TO the fact.
Central Europe is not as mysterious as
II sounds II simply means a variation OF
The Holy Roman Empire with special in
laid in Germany" and they are very
subtle because no one wants to offend Aus
tria But essentially Central Europe means
That Germany and Austria Hungary and
Bulgaria and Turkey will form unit.
First il will be a tariff unit so that there
will be free trade between them and pro-
lection against the rest of the world. Then
II will be a producing unit so that the four
countries will play into each others hands,
Germany doing the heavy manufacture,
Hungary supplying food Austria doing
finer production. Turkey and Bulgaria buy
ing the Teutonic supplies. Eventually II
will become a political unit. the greatest
empire in the history OF the world snug
in the heart of Europe. able TO resist either
France or Russia, prepared for war eter-
naly.

The Whole World Involved

The British argument shows that there
can be no peace II this tyranny is eStaD-
lshed. That is why they look to the United
States to become interested in southern
European affairs. II the United States
really wants to prevent another world war,
either for the good of the world or for her
own good, she will step in and say that the
right OF the Czechs and the Croats and the
Serbs to remain free nations must be re-
spected IL the United states does this
then she may turn about and say to Brit
ain that the rights of Ireland must be re-
spected, and TO Russia that Finland and the
Jews have not been treated as well as they
might have been. There will be a number
of Britons who will resent such inter-
Nerence Put ! know from my own expert
ence that there will he many more who will
be glad to have the United States champion
the right of all oppressed people provided
the United States is earnestly ready to do
something for them.
Middle Europe. then. involves the whole
world. 1t is the political side OF the Ber-
lin-Bagdad railway an enterprise which
was never wholly commercial As mat
ter OF knowledge the road was not meant
TO stop anywhere near Bagdad. 1t was
a Berlin Cairo affair, and 1t had In mind
the great Afro-Asiatic Empire which Ger
many dreamed Of. Three-quarters OF that
scheme are now a reality; the last quar-
ter depends on victory in the field.
Not even those Britons whose hearts are
btterest about Middle Europe assert thar
any easy solution of the Balkan question
can be found at once. For example, most
of the Croatians want to be united to the
Serbs but there is a small minority which
prefers to stick to the Dual Monarchy be-
cause the Serbs are Orthodox Catholics
and the Croatians, who speak the same
language are Roman Catholic. And there
are Bohemans who prefer Hungary to a
| separate Czech Empire. These minorities
| will have 10 be considered If the problem
| of southern Europe is to be settled
There was some joy in Britain when it
was seen that President Wilson was in
vitng the American Senate and the Ameri-
can people to become interested in these
| matters Much criticism, of course fell
| on the Presidents head because what he
| said was not exactly what Britain wanted.
But he did imply that Germany was not
| TO rule all OF Central Europe, and that
| she was TO give up her share OF Poland
| These two blows at ''the enemy" were suf-
fcent to endear the President to many
| hearts.
One man. however, asked me IL the
! President knew what he was saying and
| knew how mortally he was offending Ger
many I invited him to look to coming
events for an answer He is still looking

The Briton Knows What He Is Doing


To the Briton the idea is anathema. and
although ne did not know two and a half
years ago that he would be fghtng against
Middle Europe in 1917 he is content 10
fight against It now He takes his argu.
ments out OF the German propaganda in
it's favor.
The chief argument is that Middle Europe
is a mlitarist tyranny. The ablest de-
fender of Middle Europe is Friedrich Nau.
mann. whose book "Mittel-Europa' pub
lshed in America by Alfred 4. Knopf New
York; is accepted as the standard explans-
ton Of the idea. That book starts with
the assumption that as soon as this war is
over Germany will dig a series of trenches
north and south along her borders, will
fortify the trenches and keep them manned.
The trenches are to remain forever Behind
them Germany will prepare for the next
war. (Naumann says so in as many words
All he asks is that there should be no trench
running east and west, dividing Germany
from Austria.
II these Two nations unite with Hun
gary and with such parts Of the Balkans
as will be left TO Germany after the terms
Of peace are made. then the new industrial
system can come into action All Germany
is enthusiastic about the Industrial super
man. He is called many fancy names; in
America he would be called machine-man.
The German word is "impersona! Nau.
mann and others admit that he is the coun-
terpart Of the German soldier product OF
AN ineXorable system. The personal CAPT
talist and the individual worker are going
under. they claim; they point to rotten old
England as the proof. And they are willing
TO supply the world with the next type.
The second British argument against
Middle Europe is that it does not take into
consideration the desires and hopes Of all
the small nations Which lie in the Balkans.
The Austrian tyranny over the croatians,
the Hungarian tyranny over the Bohe-
mians and the whole system by which Serbs
have been separated from their fellowmen
and from their native counky are bound
to be made permanent If 'Mittel-Europa
comes into existence. Germans admit
that they are not successful colOniZers.
Prince Won Buelow sadly confesses that
there have been mistakes in Posen,
although he is fierce and cruel when the
idea occurs that Germany should give up
her portion Of Poland when Russia and
Austria give up their portions. But in all
the ideas of central Europe Germany
mains the chief factor, and If there are
small races and weak nations, they will!
pay the penalty Of not being so strong as
Germany
