Selection Of Fruit for Jellies.

evidently are holding the Austrian and
Hungarian populations in union
which even the hardships of war, the
death of the Emperor or the inspiration
OF outside influences such as the Rus
sian revolution cannot break.
Coup in Bulgaria
Bulgaria's declaration Of war on the
side of Germany was actuated by a
German diplomatic coup which IN 1t
self is regarded now as further evi-
dence that clear road through TO the
Dardanelles was considered In Berlin
as a primary and imperative purpose
of the war.
In the case of Turkey German domi-
nation is believed here TO be even
more complete than in Austria-Hungary
and Bulgaria. Not only have German
officers led in defending Turkish terri
tory and in eradicating inharmonious
elements such as the Armenians and
Syrians, but it has been learned that
German industrial organizers have
taken firm grip on. Turkish industry,
and large delegation of German pro-
fessors has been sent to spread Ger
man Kultur among the population.
Friendship for Turks Explained
These developments throw a new
light on many events before the war.
Among them is the long unexplained
declaration of Emperor William at Da-

German Peace Moves
Hide Plan of Conquest

Hamburg to Constantinople and then
southeastward through Asiatic Turkey
was marked out by boundaries virtual
ly coincidept with the military lines
held to-day, under German officers, by
the troops of Germany, Austro-Hun-
gary. Bulgaria and Turkey.
Adhesion of the German government
itself to such plan was not suspected
by the other powers, although the
propagandists were permitted TO con-
tinue their activities unhindered and
TO spread their appeals in a country Of
strict press supervision, through the
"Pan-German Gazette and other radl-
cal publications.
Following in the footsteps of Bis
marck, who used the Franco-Prussian
war alliance TO bring Baden, Bavaria
and Wurtemburg into the German con-
federacy, and then into the German
Empire, Emperor William chose war as
the means of establishing the broad
pathway TO the southeast which was
essential for realization of the dream
of great Germany.
The subjugation of Austria-Hungary,
which would have presented difficult
task under ordinary conditions, became
in these circumstances comparatively
simple.
Austria Hungary's submission now is
declared 10 be complete, both in a mill
tary and economic sense. The German
officers commanding her armies, abetted
by political and industrial agents scat
tered through the country by Germany,

mascus in 1898 that all Mahometans
might confidently regard the German
Emperor as "their friend forever
There also is a complete understand
ing now of Germany's eagerness to
secure in 1899 a concession for the
Bagdad railroad, an artery. of COM
munication now indispensable to tho
German operations.
Fitting in squarely with an actu-
atng desire for conquest TO the south
east is the general German military
policy during the entire war. IL is
noted that. even at the expense of re-
cessions on the Eastern and Western
fronts. Germany has taken pains to
overrun quickly Serbia, Montenegro
and Rumania and to keep in check all
Allied attempts to strike at the south
eastern pathway from the Dardanelles
to Salonica. Not until the present
British advance in Asiatic Turkey has
there been any serious danger to any
part of the greater stretch from the
Baltic 70 the Persian Gulf.
Economic Plans Farreaching
In consolidating this territory. il is
revealed. the economic element has
been given a conspicuous place. This
work was going on before the war,
although it had not reached a maturity
comparable with the economic effort
by which Prussia bound the German
states in the customs union of 1923,
forty years before she brought them
under the empire. A comprehension
of the present danger prompted the
Allied economic conference at Paris,
where plans were made for meeting
the German trade war after the end
Of the present strife.
1t is problematical TO officials here
how far Germany might go, should
peace be made now. with remuneration
of all territory on the East and West,
in political consolidation of the great
territory in the southeast. 1t is

L. 5. Gets Real Facts

Row minutely defined is the German
plan and how accurately IT is being
esrried out have become fully apparent
only with the opening up, during the
last few weeks, of several new avenues
Of information.
In her southeastern conquests, it
cow is apparent, Germany has fol-
lowed almost in toto the long estab-
lished plan of the Pan-German League.
whose propaganda had been regarded
outside Of Germany as the harmless
activity Of extremists, too radical to be
1ken seriously. Coupled with this
plan, as an instrument of economic
Consolidation, the German officials have
used, with only slight notifications,
ne system Of customs union expansion
which aided in former years to extend
her domination over the other German
states now making up the empire.
Conquest Long Planned
As early as 1911 the Pan-German
League is said to have circulated
oehniie propaganda of conquest, with
printed appeals containing maps Of
greater Germany, whose sway from

,,rt peace declaration, expected TO sug-

,-sed here as largely answered be-
s,rshand by information revealing for
.,s first time the full scope Of the i'm

This information discloses as one Of

hitting Europe permanently in half,

In the light Of German history, the
man shows how implicitly the Kaiser
has followed out the blood and iron

FOR development Of Prussian power.
Considered in view of the present war

been accomplished, regardless of what

A full realization Of this situation,
which will form a sinister background
for consideration Of whatever renun-

Although officials have refrained
from definite public expressions of
