act. Serbia has fallen; Rumania remains
but hopeless fragment; German will IS
absolute on the military side in all this
huge empire, in which have been absorbed
so many races and so many nations. We
continue here to talk of Germany as if it
were the Germany of 1914, and of Aus
tria. We continue to think of Europe as
divided as it was before the present war.
And all this is of infinite service to the
Germans and of infinite injury to the
Allied cause. The truth is the truth of
the map. The fact is the fact that is dis
closed by an examination of the atlas.
For the firing lines of the Central Powers
have come to be the frontiers of Germany.
Germany has achieved territorially more
than ninety per cent of all that she hoped
to achieve when she began the war. Napo-
leon at the height of his power had not
greater success on the map than Germany
has. German failure has been in her in
ability to destroy France before England
prepared for war and in her inability to
wear out England and France before the
United States began to send its men to
the conflict. To-day the war can have
but one of two endings if Germany is not
to dominate the world. The Allies must
either win q decisive battle in the field or
thew must continue to exert and multiply
the pressure upon Germany until hunger,
economic ruin, finally compel
the masses of the German people to lay
aside the dream Of world power and to
consent to the restoration Of Belgium,
Serbia and Rumania, as well as Of France.
And despite her parliamentary gestures,
the real power in Germany, which is the
throne and the army, has never yet signl-
fed its intention to part with a single
norton of this huge Mitteleuropa; not
even Belgium has been offered back by
the Hohenzollerns.

Alcibiades, sent their ships and troops TO
Syracuse. The world saw little of the real
drift of events and awoke to find that Ger
many had erected the mightiest empire, in
extent of territory, which Europe had seen
since the days Of Charlemagne an6 had
endowed it with the most efficient organl-
zation since the Roman days.
When the campaign of 1915 was over
Germany had almost completed the erec-
tion of her Mitteleuropa. Her armies
were still within reach Of Calais; Ant
werp was hers; Warsaw; Libau; her long
range artillery reached Riga; her advanc-
ing armies had overrun Serbia and
reacbed the Golden Horn; her Bulgarian
allv was almost within sight OF the an
cient walls of Salonica, and BRITISH
army was going to defeat and surrender
before Bagdad.
In February, 1916, Germany came west
70 make the great Verdun attack, Whlch

force effectively in the field at the mo-
ment Could the French army have been

successes.

The fall of Riga now means merely
that she has chosen to take one OF
those ports because the effort was no
longer great and the prize had moral
value for a public which had recently
faced disasters in the West and denial
of the hope of peace. 1t is necessary to
understand the German spirit when the
nation as a whole went to war to realize
how difficult it is now to bring home TO
the masses of the people, and above all to
their leaders. the necessity Of abandoning
what has been won. Germany went 10
war in 1914 believing that the campaign
of 1870 would be repeated; that a short.
sharp struggle would give her possession
of the land she coveted, the supremacy IN
Europe she desired, and the foundation
for the attack which should first destroy
the British Empire and then enable her
n build German Empire beyond the seas.
The victory was not so swift; her initial
blow was parried at the Marne, Austria
was almost destroyed in the opening cam
paign in Galicia; and yet after few
months of delay incident to preparation
new German blow in the East shattered
and destroyed Russian military strength
and before the year had ended almost all
the Eastern, Balkan, Asiatic purposes of
Germany were realized, and from that day
to this they have endured. The line OF
mower runs clear and uninterrupted to-
dav from Berlin to Jerusalem and to the
environs of Bagdad. 1t is reality on the

ple still. 1t is a reality which grows less

The Pan-Cermanic Dream

On the larger side, Riga is interesting
secause it was an essential detail Of that
pan.Gemanic dream which has almost
been realized on the map. If one should
70 back and look at the pan-German maps,
already forgotten, so rapidly have events
moved, one would see that the patriots
Of that time had drawn across Central
Europe new and striking frontiers and
that these frontiers were based upon GER
tain commercial and ethnographic ideas.
The new Germany-the Mitteleuropa-
vas TO be bounded on the west by line
drawn from Belfort to the mouth of the
S'mme Calais and Antwerp were to be
is naval and commercial ports upon the
Casnnel and the North Sea. All the coal
districts of Lens and the valleys of the
Sambre and the Scheldt in France and
Belgium were TO be German. The iron
:s.ricts Of the Lorraine frontier and the
Neuse were to be joined to a German
rate. Eastward the German line was to
'.n from the Gulf Of Riga to the mouth
Il the Dniester River. Riga and Libau
we're to be new commercial ports of Ger
many upon the Baltic. Poland was to be
erected into a subject state, reservlng
only geographical independence. Bessa-
rabia was IN be taken from Russia and
joined to a Rumania which Berlin could

Trieste and Greek Salonica were to be
German ports upon the Adriatic and the
Egean. Greece, Bulgaria, Rumania,
were to be soldiers, servants and silent
partners Serbia was to be destroyed, Its
territory divided between Bulgaria and
Austria Hungary. Turkey was to be the
arch by which German Central Europe
crossed the Hellespont into Asia Minor.
The Bagdad railroad, when the war
began, was pushing southwark under
the Cilcian gates by which Alexander the
Great made his famous invasion. This rail-
load was to be the life line, the spinai
column, Of Asiatic empire. Under the
walls Of Aleppo the Germans had planned

New-York tribune., 1917-09-09
The Truth Of the Map

The military significance of Riga is
small, because the war must be won or
lost now on the Western front and every
regiment and gun of the Germans diverted
from this critical field is gain for the
Allies. But on the moral side it would
be folly to mistake the value to the Ger
man leaders, who desire still to bring
back provinces and power from their war,
of a new success and the attainment Of
one of the detectives which were in their
minds when they made their first attack.
The greatest weakness in America at
the present time is the failure to recog-
nize things as they are in Central Europe
and Eastern Asia. There is no longer an
Austria, Bulgaria, or a Turkey free to
New-York tribune., 1917-09-09

to seek larger triumph at Verdun, which
would have enabled her to gather in her
own time the remaining fruits of her great
successes.
New-York tribune., 1917-09-09

losses of influence and future commercial
opportunity abroad But it is still the
most dazzling dream that any race
dreamed, and it acquires new, if passing
vitality when Riga, one of the final ele-
ments, is at last brought within the Nit
teleuropa frontier.
The war will have to continue until the
dream is shattered, because a Germany
dominating Central Europe at the close
Of the war will dominate the world within
a quarter of century. 1t would have
been shattered already If Russia had not
fallen, mainly through German intrigue;
for it was the Germans who corrupted the
monarchy and led it to the great betrayal
CT the Russian armies in 1915 and 1916;
to the sacrifice of Rumania, which remains
the greatest tragedy of the war; and,
when the monarchy had fallen, turned
to the radicals of the Revolution and
transformed the hope OF Russian
Republic into the peril of Russian anarchy
and the danger of reaction which should
return the Romanoff power, with all that
this means to democracy in the world.
New-York tribune., 1917-09-09

serve to emphasize again the actual situa-
tion in Europe, the extent of German sue
cesses and the greatness of the danger
that if German defeat is not complete we
shall emerge from this war only to begin
preparations for new war. The real
danger now is the sort Of peace which
will enable Germany to recuperate and
give her time TO organize her present
conuuests in such fashion as to complete
her aim, which is world supremacy.
The Italian Pause
| had hoped in the present week to dis
cuss the Italian operation in some detail,
but despite continued local advances there
has been an unmistakable slackening,
which is the inevitable concomitant of the
present sort of war, which requires time
both for advancing the heavy artillery and
for restoring stocks Of munitions exhausted
hy the bombardments which are the prelude
to attack. The Italians have not yet capt
ured Monte Gabrielle or Hermada Hill as
| write these lines on September A. These
are the next detectives, and until they fall
the Italian advance will still be held up.
Both are positions essential alike to Aus
trian defence and Italian advance. When
they have fallen, and the Italians have now
set foot on both of them, then there will
probably be a material change in the lines
and a considerable Austrian withdrawal
to new lines Of defence, nearer Trieste.
The reported dispatch of two Bavarian
divisions to the Isonzo front indicates the
growing gravity of the situation in the
minds of Hindenburg and the German
General Staff.
There is a marked tendency in this coun-
try at the present time to exaggerate the
Importance of the Italian operations and
to suggest that sweeping victory, which
might include the fall of Trieste, would
have a greater influence upon the war than
