innumerable islands and into the
Baltic.
Up to the Skagerrak, Britain is
complete mistress Of the seas. Be-
yond, the waters get progressiely
more perilous. And although Ger
many's fleet has not a third the
strength of Britain's, naval men
here are unanimous In believing
that British warships will not ap-
pear IN the Baltic at all Except,
perhaps, for an occasional ultra
daring rowing submarine.
On declaration Of war, the Brit
isl navy Immediately went into ac-
ton to block the Skagerrak with a
line of fighting ships-which al
ready were in position, 1t Is be-
lieved, before war formally was an
nounced.
Control of the Baltic In this war
Is vital to Germany. Essential iron
ore from Sweden comes down that
sea; so do other supplies from both
Sweden and Norway. Despite her
weak fleet, Germany Is we'll fixed
to keep the Baltic safe from intru-
sion.
British warships could get in only
by channels ideally designed for de-
fensive action by submarines and
light craft and for obstruction by
mine fields. In addition, the Great
Belt channel Is within easy reach
OF Germany's great air fields.
Swarms of bombing planes could
come into action swiftly.
Naval men here say Britain might
possibly force an entrance to the
Baltic sea II she threw her whole
fleet into action and disregarded all
costs Gas Lord Fisher suggested do
ing In the World War; but no one
believes she will care to pay the
price.
II the British can't get in, the
Germans can't well get out. 1t Is as
sumed here that Britain's main
naval strength will be kept on the
job Of bottling up the Skagerrak.
A secondary blockading line is
expected to be maintained at the
top" OF the North Sea, eastward
from the Shetland Islands.
The famous Doer Patrol will,
of course, be re-established to

fuse me ard I still find myself tied
up in the midst Of taxis, farmers
wagons, bicycles and street cars,
when am supposed to be having a
green light. I notice the people OF
Warsaw are much more obedient to
traffic lights than we are in New
York. Jay-walking Is not yet such
a fine art here as 1t Is with us.
In Warsaw one OF the greatest i'm
provements OF all is the gradual dis
appearance of the "parkany" the
high walls around every door yard.
How green and beautiful Warsaw is
going to be wher the last Of these
vestiges of darkness vanish! Already
oasis of grass and trees, and bril-
liant beds Of flowers begin to show
themselves where formerly blank,
empenetrable wall arose. Here some
one with vision and an iron will must
have been at work.
Perhaps the thing I have most ad-
mired in Warsaw during my brief
visit, this time, Is the way they Con-
troll a fire OF major proportions
and significance, yet make so little
noise about 1t. In New York, at al
most any hour of the day or night
you can hear the fire-sirens blow
ing somewhere IN the distance.
Usually the fire Is Of no consequence
at all and there is no need of arous-
ing anyone but q fireman or two.
Yet what noise and confusion we
have over 1t! Here In Warsaw, on
the other hand big fire was burn
ing In the station, just block away

Of smoke from my window, yet there
was not sound above the normal
hum of the city. And no excitement,

the Polish people.
Polish Restraint
I admire Polish restraint In small
crises like that of the railroad sta
ton fire, but ! admire 1t even more
In large crises like the present for
eign situation. 1t seems to me that
that restraint must arise from a
widespread feeling among the people
Of Poland that the summer Of 1889
present no problems that are new.
no causes for worry that are not
as old as Poland itself. Reading
Atur Corski's "Niepkoj naszego
vzasu"-The Unrest OF Our Times
a week or so before I left New York,
I realized anew that Poland's es-
sential problem Is still today as 1t
always has been, the maintenance
of the balance between East and
West.
Poland cannot give herself wholly
to either; she must maintain her
own integrity and she must be faith
full to her historic task of bridging
the gap between East and West. She
Is O tremendously important state,

than ever convinced that she Is
worthy, because Of her inner and
demonstrable vitality, to be entrust-

sarily devolve up modern state.

knowledge Of the general picture.
1t is not known here where Ger
many's fleet is-whether in the
Baltic or the North sea-nor is 1t
known whether any German cruis-
ers or pocket battleships are so sit
uated as to be able to slip out and
become roing commerce destroyers,
a la the Emden. Possibly the sink
ing of the Athena points the way
this phase OF the war will go.
The one thing the experts here
feel pretty sure Of Is that there
won't be a real clash between the
rial fleets-principally, as they see
it, because 1t would be suicide TO:
the Germans to come out and sui
eide for the British to go in.

GERMAN CONSUL
VICTIM OF TRICK
Fritz Wiedeman Resign:
From Olympic Club By
False Telegram

San Francisco, Sept. 0.--(UP) !
German Consul Fritz Wiedeman
Unanswered yesterday for q "vote 4
confidence" by the famed Olympl
clubs board Of directors. He ar
nounced that he would not with
draw his resignation which was a.
legedly obtained through Tilt key
1--WE shall wait and see," he tol
the United Press when informe
that the directors had declared HI
resignation had been obtaine
fraudulently and that they migl
decline to accept 1t.
It had been engineered through
squeeze play" which the embaj
raised club officials called a "cruI
hoax"
Wiedemann, Adolf fiitler's lieu
tenant in the World war and HI
close confidant since his rise |
power, submitted his resignation (
the club at the request Of a telegrai
signed with the name Of Frank
Foran, club secretary.
RaHA rOEBery, says Koran
Foran, a wholesale coal deale
promptly denounced 1t as q iran
forgery" The club had no desire, Il
said, to "breach the niceties 1
neutrality and diplomacy" by ford
ing Wiedemann out.
The telegram said: "Our board 4
directors Is in receipt Of q form
demand signed by 1866 members, Civ
ing us the alternative Of asking Il
your immediate resignation nor ell
accepting theirs. While regrettir
the action indicated and assuring yc
that this Is not personal to yourself
1t is requested that you favor us wit
your reply as soon as convenient"
1t was convenient for Wiedeman
to reply at once. "Please accept m
immediate resignation as a membt
Of the Olympic club" he telegraphei
II appreciate the many courtesi'
extended to me-"
Wiedemann Writes Board
The news got out and to the pre-
he issued this statement: II wish |
thank the board Of directors for u
tact with which they handled
delicate situation. To save thel
from further embarrassment, I d.
c.ded to resign"
Wiedemann had left his consulat
by the time the hoax was discovere
and could not be located for anotht
statement. His assistants, howeve
were practically speeches..
"This Is awful" said one. II &
not know what the consul will c
now"
Foran said 1t was the consul's nes
move. and Wiedemann today reptile
by announcing he would await til
action Of the board upon his resie
nation.
Cannot Predict Action
"Our board Of directors-the SAM
board which voted him membershi
three months ago-meets next Wed
nesday," he said. Naturally I car
not predict Its action. would seer
to me that II Wiedemann wishes I
withdraw his resignation because
was secured fraudulently, he is en-
titled to do so.
