In theory, soviet Russia is found

All residents of Russia are supposed
to shxre equally everything there is

however, things have not worked

BAGDAD AND BERLIN"

There must be food for bitter
thought for the Germans in the re-
port that the British have finally
bought a controlling interest in the
Bagdad railway, which played such
an overwhelming part in the PAN
Germanic scheme of expansion This
key to the East which was to have
opened the door of world empire to
ambitious Germans fired with the
idea of the "trend toward the East
which was the favorite shibboleth
of the Mittleuropa school of politi-
cal economists-has now passed for
ever into the hands of the enemy.
All of the cherished plans Of link
ing Bagdad to Berlin, of paralleling
the Suez sea route to the East by a
land route, of driving a wedge be-
tween Indian and Egypt, of disrupt
ing the British empire, have come
to nothing. Germans have the gall
ing vision OF Great Britain reaping
where Germany had sown-
To the members of the Imperial
German Foreign Office in 1914 this
news must be especially depressing
when they reflect that only the out
break of the war prevented the
Germans from getting by diplomacy
the supremacy in Asia Minor and
Mesopotamia for which they had
schemed in launching the Bagdad
railway enterprise. These men are
aware of the agreement between Sir
Edward Grey, then British secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs,
and Prince Lichnowsky, the Ger
man ambassador at the Court Of
st. James by which Britain virtual
ly conceded to Germany full sway
in those regions which were all-im-
portant to her scheme of an East
ern Empire
Thus was a diplomatic wrr of
many years duration about to be
ended, and Germany, by peaceful
victory. would be enabled to pursue
her eastern ambitions. The agree
ment, which was initiated but never
signed, has at last been published
its text may be found in the
March number of The Political
Science Quarterly-and shows in
detail the concessions made by the
two governments. Thus we see an
other instance of how imperial Ger
manic greed cheated itself in the
end.

II is unlikely that time will 80

UNI which passes for William Jen-
n nings Brynn's mind as to admit the
entrance of one new idea, be it
ever so slight. But if it does, per-
haps it may some day occur to Mr..

be expected
"a few of the $ why Bryan can
not be president of this country,
as he has so long and ardently striv-
en- to be. But it does not mention
the principal reason-which same is
William Jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan's latest outbreak

argument against evolution seems
