| that merchant marine owed its ver3
Britain and that at the first breath ii
war it would melt away.
Germany, therefore, determined TO
pin her faith on railways which should
pass through lands under her control.
| This is the secret of the Berlin-Bag-
dad railway. This is the reason why
Turkey was brought under her dornin-
ion and Serbia was sacrificed. To thus
belief in her continental destiny Is due
the desire to exercise her influence
over Austria. The fufillment of her
plan involved the control OF ConStanti
nople, since only at ConStantinople
can the water separating Europe from
Asia Minor be crossed Serbia had to
be subjected to her dominion because
the only practicable path for a rail
way to C0nstantinople was through
the MOraya valley which lay in Serb
ian territory. If Germany can control
this route she need not consider her
unfavorable position as regards the
sea. She will have Il commercial high
way unaSSailable by any power. She
will also have q vast territory capable
Of economic development. She can
finally make the present sea routes so
dangerous by attack from submarine
bases, either in the north or in the
neighborhood Of C0nStantinople, that
they will have to h" abandoned. The
freedom of the seas will have been
destroyed, the economic unity of the
world seriously impaired, and the
work of centuries rendered of little or
no avail.
Must Destroy Land Power.
The submarine is significant to US
then not because through its use sew
eral hundred American lives have been
lost or because q few American ships
have been destroyed, but because the
whole fabric Of International eco
nOmic life is threatened. The only
way in which to save that life-and
that it is worth saving none will deny
is to destroy Germany'S land power,
or cause her to realize that the world
will not permit any nation SO to con-
duct herself as to impcril ideals which
after so many years of toll and trou'
Bile on the part of the civilized world
have received all but universal recog-
milton. That we as Americans are in
tereSted in these questions is thus
quite evident. At first blush the in
tCreSt which we have in securing to
Serbia an outlet on the Adriatic, or
in the rehabilitation OF the Balkan
states does not perhaps appear. Nor Is
the reason evident, perhaps, at first
why we should insist upon the emancl-
patton of the Slavs submerged in the
Austro-Hungarian empire. A strong
Serbia and weak Austria, however,
are absolutely necessary If Germany
is still disposed to use the submarine
in the manner in which it has been
used. For only under these condi-
tons will the land route upon which
she has staked so much become impos-
sible. Only when such a land route
has been abandoned will Germany be
forced to return to the sea- When
she does she will find it necessary to
observe the rules which have been
elaborated to protect the freedom of
the sea. Only when she does so can
we hope for further development
In the direction of the economic unity
Of the world which means so much for
human progress.

Several months ago he suddenly
found himself reduced In salary from
$500 to $720 and the only cause given
was that the department had to

This is the situation at the present
time. The submarine is the weapon of
