ISSUE IN AFRICA.
Reason Why British Will Not Re-

from Iie lseiHn9n.
The insistence of Germany upon res

Africa, together with substantial. addi-
lions to them at the expense of France
and Belgium and the equally persistent
demands OF Australia. of South Africa
, and Of many>of the public men of Great
Britain that Germany must not be
allowed to regain her hold upon the
soil of the Dark Continent, serve to lay
emphasis upon the Importance assigned
to that portion of the world in the years
following the war.
Much was heard. before the beginning
Of the conflict. of the Cape-to-C Cairo
railway. This great project like SO
many others, has had to yield it's place
in the public interest; but it remains a
great world issue and at the conclusion
OF peace negotiations, if not during
them, it will emerge as a greater one
The significance Of the British deter
mination not to allow East Africa to
revert to German hands is largely con-
cerned with the Cape-to-Cairo enter
prise. 1t is now realized that Germ any

the political and commercial aims of
the great transcon tinentaI system
German maps of East Africa. drawn
before the war, show several pro-
3ected parallel railroad lines crossing
the German territory from the coast,
and stretching out their tentaeIes to-
the kengo and beyond toward the
Atlantic seaboard. These roads
crossed at several points the proposed
route of the Cape-to-Cairo line Had

hold in Africa. The course of the
Cape-to-Cairo road lies entirely with

4 The war mas not arrested the prog

some notable additions are made to

e 1t Is not unlikely that the great
road from end to end of Africa will
figure in the peace councils. Eradl-
cation of Germany from participation
in the undertaking, and from all op-
portunity of continuing active hos

an amicable program of joint effort
, among the allies. and assures a

of Africa's resources. Although Grea,
Britain, France. Portugal and Bel

scerned in building up means of COM

strong probability that some de-

long stride in the direction of inter-
national control of central Africa, be-
tween the Zambesi and the Sahara,

party and by a growing number O:
publicists and statesmen in Great
Britain and the allied nations.
