Ludendorf and BALM.

Ludendorff. brains of the German
war machine, ascends in the favor
of the Kaiser as Herr Albert Ballin.
greatest of her shipping men. head
of the Hamburg-Ame Line. has
fallen out of the graces of his mas
ter.
The fall OF Ballin symbolizes. to
a certain extent. the fate OF Ger
many today. 1t was Balm and his
kind who put the German flag in
all the ports of the world. who
made her a great power on the
seas, formidable rival of Brittania
herself 1t was German industrial
ism and German commercial initia-
tive which made Germany great.
Did the Kaiser know this? I'm
doubtedly he must have known the
fact in some degree, although it
never once occurred to him to give
some portion OF the power vested
in the military party to some of the
powers of commerce and industry
who were the builders of modern
Germany.
1t is not on record that BALM
opposed the war. He also. perhaps,
saw the mirage of rapidly
achieved and overwhelming German
victory. But he has lived to see
the ruin in three short years of all
that it had taken him a generation
to build up. The queen of his ships,
the Naterland. is now being fitted
out as a transport for American
troops who are going. to France to
fight his country. Practically all
of his magnificent fleet is either
bottled up in neutral waters or is
in the service of the enemy. He
knows that his proud and splendid
ships will never be his again; he
perceives the hulk and the wreck
that Germany will be after the war
is over.
Ludendorff. the right-hand man
of Hindenburg, and reputed to be
the brain of that Juggernaut OF
militarism, comes into power as
Balm goes. So does German logic
work itself out to the end. to the
deluge. She has put her trust ut
terly in the sword; nothing else
counts in her eye; she knows nc
other doctrine. German commerce
German industry. German honor
German markets. all have been
been sacrificed to the Unsuitable ap-
petite Of the system of which
Ludendorff is the finest flower.
1t seems almost insanity that a
modern nation should try to live on
the sword alone: it seeems quite as
crazy as trying to squeeze blood
out of stone. Yet that is exactly
what Germany is doing; that is
what the fall of BALM typifies. He
was the most powerful representa-
tive of the German industrial class
with the Kaiser. He has-nothing 10
offer now. His ships are gone and
his wealth is gone. The only hope
he may have is that in the end he
may survive the Emperor and his
Infamous horde. whose doom seems
as certain as anything in this
world is.
1t Is not only republics that are
ungrateful. Monarchs who rule by
Divine right, for instance. are not
only ungrateful but treacherous.
Herr Ballin knows this now. and he
must have had suspicious Of it long
before

No Action Against Sweden,

The American government Is
adopting a curious course in regard
to its Swedish sensation" it seems
TO be playing a waiting game. 1t
seems to be Sweden's move.
II was assumed. when Swedish
duplicity was revealed to the public
by the State Department Saturday,
that the expose would be followed
by some announcement as to the
policy which the United States and
the entente nations would adopt.
But no such announcement has
been made. Moreover. it is clear
that no such announcement will be
made for the present.
The reason for this may be that
Sweden IS naturally looked to for
some explanation or rejoinder. But
il an explanation is expected. the
case has been prejudged in advance.
and in Mr.. Lansing's first state
ment regarding the Buenos Aires
episode Sweden was not accused /;
she was tried. convicted. and prac-
tically sentenced without the OPP
portunity OF offering any defense
in her own behalf OF course. once
the facts were ascertained beyond
cavil. any opportunity for defense
would have been worse than use
less.
Another reason for the delay may
be that Great Britain is expected to
take the initiative. Britain is more
the injured party in the episode
than is the United States. because
British cables were the vehicle on
which the unneutral messages were
dispatched to the Stockholm For
eign Office. The British ambassa-
dor. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice. con-
ferred with Secretary Lansing yes
terday. and it may be that some
Indication of the views of the Brit
ish government were conveyed to
the State Department at this time.
The other alternative is that II :
entente nations will take no
tiOn until they have heard Z. a
Argentina. What will the Argen-
tine do?" is. after all. the biggest
question involved in the affair. 1t
is difficult to see how the republic
can avert a break with both Ger
many and Sweden; certainly she
cannot do less without sacrificing
her prestige. When that situation
is cleared up. the American and
British governments may decide to
act
1t is clear. however. that there
/ will be no attempt to make the
Swedish people suffer unduly for
the crimes of their government. A
sharp distinction already has been
drawn between the Swedish gov
eminent and the Swedish. people
by the American officials, and it
is pointed out that a general cleo
ton is to be held in Sweden on
September 1s. which may result in
forcing the issue between the Ger
manophile court party and the pub
lie opinion of the country. which
is largely pro-ally. to a head.
A defeat then for the pan-Ger-
manists would dispose of the pres
ent embarrassment, and would re-
suit in driving from office the
mendacious officials who have
brought the Swedish name into dis
grace and dishonor.

cept 1t, the concluding statement OF
Romes case was presented by Secretary
Grafton, of the Rome chamber of com
merce-
Himself an engineer of wide expert
ence, Mr.. Grafton not only knows every
detail of Romes claims to the armor
plate plant, but took part In working
up a great deal of the technical data,
and prepared the magnificent brief of
Rome's case which was fled several
weeks ago with the authorities in Wash
ington-
Summing up, Mr.. Grafton showed that
Rome is the center of a 75-mile radius
embracing the most enormous CONNER
cial deposits in the United States,
among them being red and brown iron
ore, manganese, copper, sulphuric acid
and aluminium; that embraced in this
radius are streams with. a potential ca
pacity of 100000 or more horsepower;
that in this radius are 1000 miles of
main trunk line railroad, assuring ade-
quate transportation facilities in all di-
rections for the assembling of ore. pig
iron and steel
Every statement of fact in Mr.. Graf
toms brief was backed up by his au-
thorities, and in nearly every case where
he spoke of mineral deposits he cited the
United States geological survey as his
authority

OF course the members of the armor
plate board gave no intimauon of what

narison with the claims of other COM
peting cities. Nobody in Rome expect
ed them to give any such intimation.
and everyone carefully avoided the sem
blance of an attempt to draw them out
But Captain Commander Clark did not
hesitate to tell Secretary Grafton that
Rome's presentation of her claims was
magnifcently comprehensive, touching
every point to be considered in the To-
cation of the plant; and Admiral F1etch-
er himself remarked, at the conclusion
of the hearing, that Rome had covered
the ground so thoroughly that the board
could not think of any question to ask
During their tour of the sites, howev-
er, the members of the board did ask a
number of questions. 1t was plain from
the manner in which they probed into
this and that feature of each site that
they were considering Rome as a strong
competitor for the plant, and were anx-
ious to familiarize themselves thor
oughly with every feature Of Rome's
advantages.
