ALLIES MUST CLOSE GAP

(By Newspaper Enterprise Ass'n.)
London, July 31.-GermanN is loot
ing Asia. -
Asiatic food and wool are relieving
the Teutonic food and clothing short
age.
They reach Germany by temper
eary trade route. across the Caspian
sea anu through Ukrainia.
That's why the allies want to re-
construct the eastern: front, at least
sufficiently to shut off Germany from
Asiatic markets.
Must Cut Supply Line
Supplies reach the Huns slowly
now, because Russia's transportation
is disorganized, and Asia's is unorgan-
ized.
The allied job is to cut the supply
line before it, is. developed by German
efficiency.
Little, grain is reaching Germany
from ortbrough Rus ssia, because there
is littles to be shipped.
But sheep can walk. And German
agents in Turkestan and Bokhara are
buying millions of sheep in herds,
which are taken by train or driven
to the port OF Krasnovodsk, on the
Caspian, then transported across the
Caspian to the Russian or Persian
shores and driven on to points where
they can be shipped by railroad.
II Famine Probable
1t is proper to speak OF these Ger
man purchases as loot" because the
Asiatic shepherds cannot buy food
with the German gold which they get
for their sheep and wool. Famine is
likely to follow in central Asia.
The Armenian and Georgian arm
les, surrounding the port Of Baku,
have prevented the Germans from
using the Baku-B -Batum railroad, which
connects the Caspian and Black seas,
for this traffic. a~
But 1t cannot be wholly stopped un-
til barreir is thrown across Ger
man imports through Persia, where
the Turks are holding Tabriz, and
through the Astrakhan district of
southern Russia, where the CzechO-
Slovak army on the trans Siberian
railroad has lately been trying to pf-
feet a juncture with the Armenian
Georgian forces on the, north slope
of the Caucasus mountains.
Field Is Vast
II this barrier is not thrown up by
the allies, Germany can secure untim-
tied supplies of mutton, wool, cotton,
grains and cattle from the simple
tribesmen of central Asia-Afghans,
Turcomans Kirghiz and Persians
Furthermore, Germany, unless
blocked by the re-establishment of an
eastern economic military front, can
develop the gold, copper, iron and
other metal mines of central Asia
and the sulphur and salt of the east
ern Caspian shore.
Siberian furs and Chinese silks and
rice can also be taken to Germany
by this overland route, possibly reach
ing the central empires by next sum
the CzechO- SlOvaks in
eastern Russia, the Daghestarese, Ar
menians and Georgians in the Cauca-
sus. and the British north OF BagGad
are enabled to re-establish some sort
of continuous eastern front.
