TURKEY'S PART II THB WAB.
Turkey's entrance into the war
r widens the area of hostilities immense-
ly. More, it threatens to draw In
other powers. Almost all other Eu
7' ropean nations and the whole of
Western Asia are likely soon, to he ln-
" volved.
, - Germany has reaped the reward of
her studied cultivation of Turkish
friendship through many years past.
. She has trained, armed and equipped
the Turkish army according to mod
ern. European standards. She has
" educated Turkish military officers in
" Germany and has sent German offi
cers to serve Turkey. Germany has
' built railroads and constructed other
Improvements in Asiatic Turkey. Ger
man influence is supreme in Constan-
, tinople and has had the powerful aid
of the war party, headed" by the Ger
man educated army officers, in com-
hating the opposition of the pacific
Sultan. It was natural, under these
circumstances, that the German cruis
ers Goeben and Breslau should find a
; safe refuge at Constantinople and
should enter the Turkish service so
effectively.
Turkey, weakened and reduced in
area by Oie Balkan war, saw herself
forced to choose between alternatives
each of which U fraught with danger.
Had she continued neutral and were
her friend Germany to be defeated
and were Austria to be dismembered,
.Turkey would be at the mercy of
Russia and of a greatly strengthened
group of Balkan states. Servla would
' be expanded into an important power
by acquisitions on the north and prob
ably in Albania. Russia might quiet
any scruples of her allies by giving
them a share of the plunder.
By coming to the ?id of Germany
and Austria at the present Juncture,
Turkey helps to remove the disparity
between the contending forces. She
aids the Teutonic nations to check the
expansion of Slav power and. In event
of their victory, she would fortify
herself in her Asiatic possessions and
in the remainder of her European
territory. Believing that victory for
...Russia and her allies means ultimate
extinction of Turkey, whether the lat
. ter country remains neutral or takes
; up arms in the present struggle, the
Ottoman war party seems to have
decided that the wisest course was to
,. make a last effort to ward off that fate
while Turkey has powerful allies. It
has apparently forced the hand of
the cautious statesmen who prefer
neutrality.
The accession of strength which
Turkey brings to the Teutonic pow
ers is likely to be neutralized by an
equal accession to the allies' forces.
Greece has already Intimated that
Turkish intervention would be the
eitrnal for her to intervene. Rou-
mania has been with difficulty re
strained from attacking Austria and
may decide that now or never is the
time for her to seize Transylvania
and Bukowlna. A hint from Russia
that she may have these provinces for
the taking may end Roumanians hesi
tation. Bulgaria can scarcely have
recovered from her grudge against
J Servia ' and Greece, but both racial
sympathy and self-interest must pull
: her strength towards Russia. If Tur
key were sot firmly on her feet by a
victorious Germany, hope of terri
torial expansion in the direction of
Constantinople would be ended for
Bulgaria. If she were to aid the work
5 'of dismembering . Turkey, Bulgaria
could get a share of the spoils.
Turkish adhesion to the Teutons
may also Influence Italy to remain
out of the fray no longer. That coun
try's sympathy is decidedly with the
allies, and it can expect to gain noth-
' lng from Austria or Germany should it
continue neutral and should they come
.out triumphant. Hope of territorial
expansion would then be ended, while
by Joining the allies Italy could hope
to win unredeemed Italy from Aus
tria; namely the provinces of Trieste,
Trent, Istrla and possibly Dalmatia
Italy may also claim Albania, where
she has already occupied Avlona. In
Servia she would have a rival claim
ant for the northern half of that prov.
ince; in Greece for the southern half.
' If she stays out of the war she would
: get none of Albania, whether the al
lies or the Teutons and Turks win. In
"the former event Servla, Greece and
. Montenegro would, be likely to divide
Albania among them; in the latter
event Turkey might recover the prov
ince- Italy's best chance to gain by
, the war is to Join the allies and share
. the spoils of both Austria and Turkey
The scope of Turkey's possible par
ticipation In the war hinges on the
extent to which other nations Join her
enemies. Should the other Balkan
states remain neutral, she cannot get
. at Servia and can operate against
Russia only at sea and along the Ar
menian frontier. The Anglo-French
fleet in the Mediterranean is strong
enough to blockade the Dardanelles
and thus keep the Turks out of the
Mediterranean. If Greece sides against
Turkey, her " navy would be equal to
this task. The allies may bombard
the Turkish fronts of Asia Minor and
Syria, unless Turkey has fortified and
mined them. Turkey may attack the
British in Egypt from the isthmus of
Sinai and from Arabia. Persia being
Jointly occupied by Great Britain and
. Russia, Turkey might attack that
country.
ROBBING THIS KAISER.
The Kaiser finds himself obliged to
put up such defense as he may, not
only against foreign armies, but also
against far more insidious efforts to
mar the brightness of bis glory. The
Belgians have almost accomplished
their nefarious scheme to rob him of
Beethoven. The master musician's
grandparents are buried at Louvain,
which seems to indicate with fair cer
tainty that there was more Flemish
than German blood in his veins. Hard
upon this more than military calamity
follows the dark British plot to cap
ture Kant with all his philosophy.
The Koenlgsberger giant's father, as
It now transpires, was a Scotch sad
dler. Only his mother was Prussian.
Both Kant and Beethoven are as good
as lost to the Kaiser, a disaster which
the capture of Calais will but illy
retrieve. But there are some consid
erations which might mitigate his
grief if he would weigh them candidly
in his imperial mind. One of them is
that not a solitary figure among the
Intellectually -great men of Germany
Is a product of its militarism.
Kant, the first of philosophers,
lived in a period of national depres
sion. Germany at that time- was of
only the slightest military importance
but it was prolific in men of the first
Intellectual rank. To that day belong
Goethe, Schiller, Herder and a host
of others. It is these men who give
Germany her proud title to lead the
culture of the world. It is a long.
long descent from Goethe and Schiller
to Hauptmann and Suderman and a
still longer one from Beethoven's and
Wagner's music to that of the current
school of cacophonlsts whose fierce
discords clash with the blare of trum
pets in Berlin. When the world
speaks of "German culture" it means
something that was born before Bis
marck's day and which has given very
few marks of life since the Franco-
Prussian war. German culture has
no connection with Prussian mill
tar Ism.

Australia combined show an increase
Of 140.000,000 bushels. While the
world crop is 384,000,000 bushels less
than in 1913, the United States has an
estimated surplus of 290,000,000 bush
els for export. Had peace continued,
we ehould still have received an un

ment, modern wharves, railroad con
nections and Joint rates with rail
roads, the people would probably use
the rivers to the same extent as they
are used in Europe. It would be time
enough to say the people had definitely
abandoned the water routes if, after
these changes had been made, they
neglected to use those routes.
Short hauls by water may be due to
the fact that rivers are generally im
proved piecemeal in short stretches
and that long periods elapse before

DIAMONDS MADE BY ELECTRICITY
Artificials Produced, bat They Are Not

New York Commercial.
The alchemy of the chemist Moissan,
who first crystallized carbon under
normous pressure and thus produced
diamonds which were genulbe enough
ut so tiny that they had no commer
cial value, has been surpassed. Guyot
Bolsmenu, a French - engineer, di
rector in a factory turning out cal
cium carbide, has produced larger dia
monds by electricity, and there is rea
son to believe that they can be made
till larger. Molssan's diamonds were
ne twenty-fifth of an Inch in diame
ter and his process was so costly that
lt was Impossible to develop the sys-
em with profit. Boismenu's diamonds
are one-eighth of an inch and grow at
the rate of one hundredth of an inch
n hour, consequently if the electrical
rocess is kept up long enough it
hould be possible to produce a dia
mond as large as a pigeon's egg.
Bolsmenu discovered ln the course of
his work that the fused carbide could
decomposed by electricity and he
egan to experiment alona; this line.
His first success was in 1908. He fed
ragments of carbide into the furnace
slowly, gradually withdrawing- the
lectrodes. At the end of four hours
the crucible contained about six pounds
f melted carbide. An Intense current
was then maintained for the next two
hours. aThen the circuit was broken
and the mass allowed to cool. The
solidified mass showed in its center a
finely crystallized carbide and near the
negative electrode a black friable mass
like spongy carbon. Thrown into water.
this mass gave off carbon dust and
some crystals of pure carbon or dia
monds. Later experiments demon
strated that the size of the carbons in
creased nearly proportionately with the
duration of the electrical current. Not
being able to keep up the currerft more
than 13 hours Bolsmenu has not been
able to produce diamonds larger than
one-eighth of an Inch.
Molssan's process was extremely
complicated. The carbon was first dis.
solved in molten Iron. He then plunged
the crucible Into cold water ln order
that the exterior layer of Iron should
be solidified. The Interior mass still
ln fusion was thus subjected to great
pressure during the course of Its solid-
flcation. This pressure Bolsmenu does
not consider necessary.
