q In Africa resulting from
the World War. In the
present article l should like to COM
ment in some detail upon the CO
lonial development, which seems Ger
tain to follow the World War, and
particularly as it will affect France
and Great Britain.
The great industrial expansion of
rae rirst half Of the nineteenth CEN
sury enabled all the nations impov-
erlsned by nearly quarter of CEN
fury Of struggle against the French
Republic and Napoleon to pay their
debts and achieve great prosperity.
Britain, more than all other ma
lions, gained by this transformation
in industry and transportation, but
all shared. After our Civil War it
was the development of the West
which served q similar purpose.
In the same fashion, it seems to
me almost inevitable that the next
half century will see a tremendous
expansion of colonial activity, not
80 much in the white colonies of
Britain, such as South Africa, Aus
tralia and Canada (although these
will unquestionably profit by an in
lux of soldiers, for whom return to
sheir old occupation after four years
Of war will prove impossible), as
for the colonies of exploitation, such
as Egypt and North Africa, to-
gether with the colonies where some
settlement will be possible for white
PEOPLE. But the main field will be
'or the development Of native popu-
atoms and the natural resources of

French Colonial Railways

amiliar to the American world. is
he promise Of development of
french colonial railways. With the
expulsion Of Germany from the
Congo and the enforced recogni-
lion by the Germans of French
supremacy in Morocco France is at

fear that she was building for Ger

British Will Complete
! .ape-to-Cairo Railway

Beyond all doubt we shall see, in
no distant time, the realization of
Cecil Rhodes's great dream of
Cape-to-Cairo railway, now that the
elimination Of Germany from that
single block Of territory which inter-
rupted the continuity of British pos
session from Alexandria to Cape
Town has been achieved. In the
same way we shall see British
capital take over the Bagdad rail
way. probably in cooperation with
he French, and complete railway
extending from the Gulf of Alexan-
iretta to the Persian Gulf and be-
yond to the point of junction with
The railways of India. With France
established in Syria and Britain as
sured of supremacy in Mesopotamia,
the old obstacles to this railway will
disappear.
At no remote day passengers will

France by the Calais Tunnel, now to

road Of Alexander the Great
through the Cilician Gate to Aleppo,
where passengers for Cairo and
Cape Town will part with those 60

While German ambition to trans
form Turkey into a political annex
and menace India and Egypt ex-
1sted, while German military influ-
cnce dominated at the Golden Horn,
British and French political inter
ests equally looked unsympatheti-
cally upon the Bagdad scheme, al
though at the moment when the
war broke Britain and Germany
had practically reached an under

Germany master of the Bagdad
Hallway from Constantinople to the
.ower Tigris.

Belgian Congo Freed
From German Threat

H. had been the expectation of
Germany, plainly revealed in the
blackmail she collected from France
in the Agadir affair, backmaiI
which consisted of 100000 square
miles of the French Congo, to create
German Mittelafrica, extending
from the Atlantic to the Indian
Ocean and including all of the
French Congo and such pickings as
could also be extracted from the
Portuguese in Angola and south of
German East Africa.
Like France, Belgium is now re
lieved from the imminent threat of
German despoliation. Germany is
gone as an African neighbor. while
in Europe her capacity for evil is, at
least, abolished for q number of
years. Moreover, France, Great
Britain and, not impossbly, the
United States, will for the future
guarantee Belgium against German
robbery, since neither of the two
former desire to have Germany as
an African neighbor again, or can
consent Co see Belgium assailed in
Europe without going to her aid.
In the same fashion the portu-
guese are freed from the nightmare
Of German robbery. Over and over
again German writer's declared Ger
mnny's intention to acquire Portu-
p'uese colonies. A treaty existed be-
tween Britain and Germany, con-
tanning Britain's consent to German
acquisition of large portions Of the
Portuguese estate, but, as the Ger
mans always charged, the condition
WAS that Portugal should be will
ing participant in the negotiation
and Portugal, under British advice
was never willing.

Gus and considerable for 1000
years. With the aid of her loyal
and well trained Algerian and
Tunisian native functionaries, with
the use Of her Senegalese troops as
garrison against possible Turkish
attack, France will be able, with
little expense, to restore prosperity
and expand civilization in this re-
mote corner of the Mediterranean
and Beirut, like Tunis, Gran, AL
giers and Bona, will become client
of Marseilles.
For Americans, who are inclined
to view the French future with
some misgivings it seems to me that
the new possibilities in French
Africa, viewed in the light of past
French achievements on the same
continent, should serve as a counsel
of optimism. The old argument
that France, lacking a rapidly in
creasing population, could not col
onize was shown to be falacious in
the case Of Algeria, where the
French immigrants, by no means
inconsiderable In number, were
powerfully reinforced by Spanish
and Italian elements, which, in
generation or two, were absorbed
into the French family. To-day
there are as many whites in Mo-
rocco, Tunis and Algeria as in the
whole of the Union of South Africa,
despite the far more recent date
when colonization began, and in re-
cent years the development has
been as rapid,

Dakar to Rio Janiero
Only Three-Day VOYAGE

From Dakar the ocean voyage to
Rio Janeiro will hardly exceed three
days and with the aid of a train
ferry service between Algeciras and
Tangier the French expect to
shorten the time of travel between
South America and Europe by at
least one-half.
Their second plan is the much
discussed Transsaharan, crossing
the desert from Algeria. to the Niger
and sending off a branch which,
continuing always on French soil,
will reach the Ubanghi and the Con-
go, by Lake Tchad, connect with the
Belgian railways Of the Belgian
Congo and offer an alternative
route for the traveller who would
go from London to Cape Town.
The western branch, reaching the
Niger, will intersect whole series
of French railways coming inland
from the several French colonies
from Dakar to Dahomey.
For France her great African
empire holds out the best promise
for the future. In Algeria and
Tunis she has already established
100000 Europeans, two thirds of
Them French by birth or naturaliza-
ton, and she has performed the
even more difficult task Of winning
he loyalty of the natives. In the
recent war hundreds Of thousands
of Algerian and Tunisian native
troops fought in France, supplying
some Of the best shock troops, and
as reward for this service and the
mistaken loyalty Of the Algerian
natives they have recently been ad-
mitted to the full exercise of the
rights Of French citizenship.

Britain Really Gamer
In Colonial Expansion

Of course, Britain remains the
great colonial nation and the real
gamer in colonial expansion by
the war. In Africa she has ac-
quired three-quarters of a million
square miles Of German territory,
against less than a third as great
a gain by France. She has, more
over, rounded out her African estate
and her road TO Cape Town is now
clear. Under British rule the Ger
man colonies are bound to march
rapidly to real prosperity, particu-
larly German East Africa, which is
an empire in itself.
In Asia, loo, the great prize is
British. Mesopotamia and the first
mortgage on Persia together serve
as outworks for both Egypt and In
dia. Thus, British manufacturers
will find new markets, British ship
ping new ports. What has already
been done in Egypt along the Nile
will be repeated in Mesopotamia, be-
tween the Euphrates and the Tigris.
Two little nations-Belgium and
Portugal-also will profit by the
new order in the colonial field. Bel
GUMS great Congo colony will now
be increased by the addition Of two
provinces taken from German hold
ings and Belgium will be insured, at
last, against German scheme to
appropriate her African holdings.
1t was Bernhard who advanced the
ingenious and truly German theory
that in acquiring the Congo Bel
GUM had sacrificed her neutrality,
and all through the war, while there
was minority Of Germans opposed
to the acquisition Of Belgium, there
was no German voice raised against
seizure of the Belgian Congo.

Germany Menace to
French i'm Morocco

In Algeria and Tunis France has
been working successfully for many
years. She began in Algeria in
1871 and in Tunis in 1881. In Mo-
rocco her real effort only dates from
1911, and even then German oppo-
sition and German menace re
trained French effort and held out
he ever real menace that a success

Morocco Is Prize
OF Colonial Future

For the development Of the ad
joining Morocco France has thus
the assured aid Of her native popu-
lations Of Algeria and Tunis and
the same assistance will be of in
calculable advantage to her in Syria,
where the population is also Arab
end Mahometan. Morocco, more
over, as | have said, is the prize of
the colonial future. 1t has vast re-
sources in iron, great belts of black
soil, agriculturally far richer than
Algeria or Tunis.
With railways and all the other
circumstances Of civilization France
can hope to transform Morocco as
she has transformed Algeria and
Tunis. which have become tremen-
dous markets for French manufact-
ures and sources of large variety
of raw materials and foodstuffs
necessary to French existence at
home. A population, native and
European, Of 100000 in these
three Barbary states will do much
to restore the balance between
French and German populations
and thus French and German mill
tary strength.
Nor is the situation In West
Africa less promising. A great
trunk railway system is almost com
pleted from Dakar, on the Atlantic,
to the navigab!e Niger, the unfinished
link covered by the steamboat ser
vice on the Senegal and French
system, and industry has already
transformed the vast region wat
cred by the Senegal and the Upper
Niger, inhabited by 10000, 900
blacks, far more industrious than
the inhabitants Of Central Africa.
FROM these natives, too, France
drew many divisions of Senegalese
troops, who figured in some OF the
most successful operations of the
recent war.
