AFRICA IS BATTLEGROUND German Plan to Break T7p Alliance Frustrated When France Reject ed Peace Suggestions -Moliam-. medans Then Called On. " BT GUGLIELMO FERRERO. fWritten especially for the New York World by the noted historian and military authority. Copyright, 1914, by the Press Pub lishing Company. Published by arrangement with the New York World.) The event that had been expected for two months has come to pass. Turkey has entered the field to help the Ger man empire. Germanism and Islamtsm have formed a close alliance in this supreme crisis. Together they will conquer or fall. What may be the effects of this new force that comes Into play with the others already engaged? It does not seem that Turkey can seriously menace the Russian empire. She will be able to make raids, to attempt some inva sions in the Czar's territory; but these, upon a body as bulky as that of Rus sia, will be but pinpricks. Russia will be able to keep on the defensive until ehe has settled accounts with Germany and Austria in Europe. Much Depends on Bulgaria. If Turkey could act only on the Rus sian frontier her entrance into the conflict could not much increase the vast chaos into which the Old World has fallen. Turkey might even attempt a re venge for the unfortunate war of 1912 and 1913 against the people of the Bal kans. But in order to be of efficacious asslstanace to the German empire In this way she must have an alliance With Bulgaria. If Turkey attacks the Servians it is certain that Greece and Koumanla will go to Servla's aid. Could Turkey alone, without assistance from Bulgaria at least, confront the Balkan coalition as well as Rassia? It does not look like it. So everything -in this quarter depends on Bulgaria, which is a sphinx. Invasion of Egypt Probable. Finally Turkey might attempt to in vade Egypt, to block the Suez Canal and to stir up a general revolt of Is lam in the British and French domin ions in Asia and Africa. This looks like the most imminent and most ser ious danger. It is easy to perceive that if the Ottoman empire should succeed even partially in this effort the awful crisis in which Europe Is struggling might be much complicated. To the conflict of races, of cultures, of states, which is lacerating Europe there would be added a clash between Europe and Islam, which would be fought out principally in Africa, Islam Is World-Wide Unit. Is such a movement possible? I be lieve it is. In the last 20 years, from Morocco to India, from Asia Minor to the heart of Africa, wherever the fol lowers of Mahomet dwell, sects, mis sionaries, propagandists and newspa pers have been persistently trying to fan into a blaze the smouldering fires of hatred for the Christian and the European oppressor, so as to keep alive faith in the Imminent clash be tween the Crescent and the Cross. In a certain sense it may be said that Islam has become, under the blows of conquering Europe, a world wide unit, that has for its organs a great number of newspapers, which are read, discussed and commented upon throughout the Moslem world from Constantinople to Samarkand, from Fez to Teheran. Propagandlita Busy In Africa. To the action of this oral and printed propaganda add the deep Impression made by the catastrophes that have be fallen Islam in the last three years the fall of the Turkish dominion in Macedonia, Italy's conquest of Tripoli and the French protectorate over Mo rocco. It must not be forgotten that in the last three years Islam has lost the last shreds of its empire in Europe and Africa, while in Asia Persia is wavering, threatened by the Russians and by the British. So it is not improbable that in North ern Africa the boldest and t most dis contented elements have seized the mo ment when France and England are busy with war in Europe to urge the fanatical masses to try- a counter blow. Much more difficult it is, however, to tell if and at what point these rebels could be really dangerous to England and France and could weaken them in the fight in which they are engaged In Europe. Personally, I am rather in clined to believe that the danger is not great from a military and political standpoint, and that the greatest dam age will be of an economic order. Allies Conld Afford to Walt. The countries of Northern Africa that ere now so prosperous might be ruined temporarily by the Pan-Islamic revolt, if it were not energetically suppressed Unless the Turks should succeed in (retting control of the Suez Canal I do cot think that England and France would be seriously weakened by the rebellion that might burst forth in Egypt or in Algeria or in Morocco. As for the Mussulmans of India, they seem to be much attached to England, hence faithful and safe. Besides they are far away from Turkey. If, then, the revolt should be confined to Northern Africa, England and France could re strict themselves for the moment to a defensive war, waiting until the Euro pean war shall end before settling the accounts. Nor must we forget that the entrance of Turkey and the bursting forth of a Pan-Islamic agitation might hasten the Intervention of Italy. A Pan-Islamic agi tatlon, and especially a Turkish in vasion of Egypt, would be, above all. dangerous for Cyrenaica and Tripoli tana, provinces recently conquered and in part still scarcely at all brought Under subjugation. Revolt Is Germany's Answer. The intervention of Turkey, then, would not seem to be an Important fact in Europe, urless Turkey suc ceeds in dragging Bulgaria In with her; In Africa, unless Turkey succeeds in invading Egypt. Anyhow, It may be said that the re volt of Islam Is Germany's answer to the declaration of London, September 6. by which France, Russia and Eng land pledged themselves not to make peace except together and in agree ment. Today we can assert as an as sured fact that Germany's first plan was to break up the alliance among her enemies by action of lightning rapid ity. Germany hurled herself upon France In August with so much fury, passing over Belgium, because she hoped to overcome and bewilder France by a rapid succession of victories, and to detach her from her allies by of fering her peace on generous terms. I may also state, because I have proved it in the most certain way. that at the very end of August, when the German armies seemed to be marching victor iously upon Paris, the German govern ment offered, through the Italian gov ernment, peace to France. France Refuses Early Peace. But France, as might easily have been foreseen, refused to purchase an easy peace at the cost of an act of treachery. The refusal of France, the declaration of London, the great French victory on the Marne that dammed the German invasion, sent this plan glim mering. The coalition replied to these attempts with a declaration of war to the end, and in her turn Germany re sponds by trying to unleash the Mus sulman world against the coalition. We shall see what effects this move will have. Events alone can tell whether the move is bold and clever or merely chimerical, just as other moves of Germany In this war have been proved by facta to be chimerical. KING'S COUSIN WITH FOE TWO OP VICTORIA'S GRANDSONS FIGHTING FOR GERMANY. Propriety f Continuing Annuities ts Relatives of British Royalty Is Raised In Parliament. LONDON, Nov. 25. The question whether big annuities were being paid to certain relatives of the reigning royal family when members of their families were fighting for Germany against Great Britain was raised In the House of Commons today by William Young, M. P. for Perthshire. Mr. Toung asked Premier Asqulth whether he was aware that Prince Al bert of Schleswtg-Holstein, son of Princess Christian of Schleswlg-Hol-stein, a daughter of the late Queen Vic toria and aunt of King George, was en gaged as a combatant with the Ger man army; whether the Prince was in this country, at the outbreak of the war, and whether any effort had been made to detain him. Mr. Asquith replied curtly that he had been Informed that Prince Albert "was serving in a military capacity in Germany," but that he had no knowl edge when he left England. Mr. Toung then suggested that the status of the Prince's family, who. he said, evidently were German' citizens, should be In quired Into. He asked the Premier whether he constd-eied it "just and ex pedient that the British taxpayer should be called upon to pay $30,000 per annum for the upkeep of this fam ily." To this Mr. Asqulth made no re sponse. The propriety of continuing a simi lar pension to the Duchess of Albany, widow of a son of Queen Victoria, whose son, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. is fighting for Germany, also has been questioned. TURKS STILL RETREAT RUSSIANS take: many prisoners AND MUCH MATERIAL.. Captives Say Defeated Army Is Making Haste to Reach Refuge of Enntun Forts. PETROGRAD. Nov. 25. That the Turkish forces still are retreating be fore the Russians in the region around Erzerum is asserted in the following statement from the general staff of the Russian army In the Caucasus made public here tonight: "In the direction of Erzerum our troops continue to chase before them the bulk of tlve Turkish forces they have defeated. We are capturing many and much ammunition and stores. "The roads along which the Turks are retreating are strewn with the frozen bodies of their dead. "Prisoners taken are unanimous in declaring that the defeated army is making haste with a view to seeking shelter behind the forts at Erzerum and Deve-Boyun. "The situation elsewhere remains unchanged." LLOYD GEORGE FATIGUED Friends of British Chancellor Con cerned Over His Health. LONDON, Nov. 25 Friends of David Lloyd George, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, are anxious about his health, says the British Weekly, as he has been severely overworked. In ad dition to his heavy labors'in matters of finance, he is on the armament and pensions committees. Mr. Lloyd George is working from early morning until late at night and It Is imperative that he be relieved of some of his responsibilities, his friends declare, if his strength and health are to tbe conserved. VICTORIA CROSSES GIVEN Five British Privates, Three Officers Win Honor In France. LONDON, Nov. 25 Eight Victoria crosses have been awarded for conspic. uous service In battles in France. Five of these were given to privates and three to officers. Three men won their decorations at the battle of La Cateau, one at Mons and the others in later battles. Altogether, 18 Victoria crosses, the most-coveted of all British decorations for valor, have been awarded since the beginning of the war. Shell, Too, Is Silent, and Allies Get First Notice When Charge Bursts. NO DAMAGE YET DONE British Official Observer Says He Has Reason to Believe Some of Roads Behind Enemy's Lines Have Become Impracticable. LONDON, Nov. 25. Light but in teresting touches from the battle front are contained in an account from the pen of a British eye-witness. Col onel E. D. Swlnton, under date of No vember 23. given out today by the Lon don Press Bureau. Of chief interest was the statement that the Germans are using a silent gun. probably of pneumatic equipment. Concerning this weapon, the account says: "In our center the enemy employed a silent gun. which may be pneumatic or worked by some mechanical con trivance. There is no report of the dis charge, the projectile travels through the air without any of the warning made by an ordinary shell and the first notice to be received of its arrival is the bursting of the shell. So far, the weapon has done no damage." Enemies Barter in Trenches. The account speaks of the trenches of the opponents as being at some points only 40 yards apart. The English and Germans talk back and forth, hold shooting competitions and exchange to bacco, much after the manner of the Civil War in the United States. "There the positions are not unwel come to our men," the account says, "for they at any rate are secure from shell fire, the hostile artillery being un able to shoot In the fear that it would hit its own infantry. Indeed, for either side, a trench close to the enemy often Is a safer spot than any other in the fighting zone." Tacit agreements among the men so situated are often made, the report says, a notable one being for permis sion of the representatives of eitner side to venture from the forts to heat tea on a smouldering fire at a farm. "Friend and foe continued to make use of this for days until for some rea son the Germans broke the truce and put a bullet In the shoulder of one of our men, thereby cutting off the sup ply of hot water from both sides. Cold weather has frozen the slush, improv ing the conditions In the trenches in one sense, the account goes on, but the drop in the temperature makes the men so stiff that many have to be lifted out of the trenches when relieved and oth ers are sent partly frozen to hospitals. "Beyond the hardships inflicted on Individuals," Colonel Swinton says, "the change in the weather chiefly has af fected aerial reconnaissance and trans port. The freezing makes the roads better and the clear, crisp atmosphere aids the aviators to see the landscape more freely. German Aeroplanes Brought Down. "Germans In one place are using a 42-centimeter howitzer against the British left, it is said, and the report tells of the capture on November 21 of a German aeroplane bearing circulars calling on the Hindus to desert. Two more German aeroplanes were brought down November 23, one after a running aerial fight in which a British aviator was wounded. This German machine was captured, but the other succeeded In landing within the German lines "Some of the roads behind tbe en emy's front line In one quarter," Col onel Swlnton writes, "have. It Is be lieved, become Impassable, owing part ly to the weather conditions existing before the recent drop In the tempera ture and also to the attentions of the allied artillery. It is possible to render roads impracticable by long-range fire from heavy guns, either by shelling any object that attempts to pass or merely by dropping a shell on the road Itself.' "A combination of craters, such as those made by a large caliber, high ex plosive shell, and deep mud, forms an obstacle difficult of negotiation by mo tor transport." OFFICERS STILL HOLD StflP Olson & Mahony Hearing Will Be Resumed Today. SAN FRANCISCo7Nov. 25. Investi gation of the manifest of the steamer Olson & Mahony, to which clearance was denied from San Francisco yes terday by J. O. Davies, Collector of the Port, who acted on instructions re ceived from Washington, was begun here today at a conference of Federal officers. Several witnesses were brought be fore the tribunal in an effort to estab lish whether the cargo of typical ship supplies which was being loaded by the Olson & Mahony was Intended ulti mately to reach the holds of foreign war vessels or to reach the port of Valparaiso, Chile, to which It was con signed on paper. No decision was reached and the hearing was continued until tomorrow. Until the Investigation Is completed the Olson & Mahony will not be al lowed to leave San Francisco. Load ing operations have been stopped and the suspected vessel is anchored close to the revenue cutter McCulloch. AMERICAN SANTA IS HONORED BY BRITAIN Nation's Gratitude Is Shown in Dinner to Officers of Christmas Ships. ENGLISH RAISE OLD GLORY Stars and Stripes Float From All Public Buildings in Plymouth and Government Officials Ac knowledge Appreciation. PLYMOUTH, England. Nov. 25. A dinner given tonight by the Earl of Beauchamp, First Commissioner of Works In the British Cabinet, In honor of the officers of the United States na val collier Jason, the Santa Claus ship, closed a day In which the British For eign Office and the citizens of Greater Plymouth manifested in every possible manner the heartfelt appreciation of the King and country for the 6,000,000 Christmas gifts sent by the people of the United States to the unfortunato children in the war zone. Following the arrival of the Jason at Devonport today American flags floated over every public building in Plymouth and from the malnraists of all warships and commercial craft in the, harbor un til sunset. Hundreds of women vis ited the Jason at Devonport, two miles from Plymouth, after the official recep tion of the vessel. Among them was Mrs. Waldorf Astor, who presented Lieutenant-Commander Courtney, U. S. N., In charge of the ship, with a beau tiful bouquet of chrysanthemums on behalf of the women of England. Thousands View Christmas Ship. Admission to the nafy-yard at Devon -port was only by card and thousands of persons stood outside the gates viewing the Christmas ship from a distance. Fifty covers were laid for the dinner tonight, which was served In the Royal Hotel. The dining-room was a mass of roses and chrysanthemcmB. The British army and navy were represented by the commandants of the Plymouth fortress and the navy-yard. Mayor Baker, of Plymouth, and Major Waldorf Astor were among the guests. The Earl of Beauchamp replied to the toast "The King." while Francis Dyke Acland, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, responded to "The President of the United States." Lieutenant-Commander Courtney, replying to a toast to "The Christmas Ship," said: "The American Navy is glad to dis charge such a mission as this a service which appeals to my heart. Thousands of little ones at home wish the Jason godspeed." Kitchener Telegraphs Appreciation. John Callan O'Laughlin, representing 200 newspapers throughout the United States which assisted in collecting the Christmas gifts, speaking to the toast "The Children of America," reviewed the history of the movement which made possible the collier's playing the role of Santa Clat-s to the children of the warring nations. During the dinnner the Earl of Beau champ read the following telegram from Lord Kitchener, the British Sec retary of War: "Please express on my behalf and that of the British army our cordial appreciation and grateful thanks for the kind thought of the American peo ple. The welcome freight the Jason carries will bring pleasure to the homes of many of those whose fathers are away." BRITISH 'SPY' DISOWNED DR. CARL GRAVES IS REPUDIATED BY GOVERNMENT. Foreign Office, Questioned by House of Commons. Denies Any Connection With Man. LONDON, Nov. 25. A representative of the foreign office, questioned in the House of Commons today on the state ment credited to Dr. Carl Armgaard Graves, who claims to have been In the service of Great Britain as a sjiy, that he bad been entrusted during the Au tumn of 1912 with a mission to a for eign country by the Foreign Office, re pudiated the intimation that the For eign Office had any connection with Dr. Graves at any time. This applied to either before or after June 16. 1913, when the matter of Dr. Graves' supposed connection with the British Foreign Office came up for dis cussion in the House of Commons. The case of Dr. Graves, who asserted that he has been In the secret service of the British government as a spy, has attracted no little attention in Eng land, since his arrest in Edinburgh in the Summer of 1912 at a time when he was supposed to have been acting as a spy for Germany. It was after this that he was thought to have entered the British service. The matter of Dr. Graves' connection with the government has come up In the House of Commons on more than one occasion in the past two years, but today Is the first time the government has clearly repudiated him. BAD NEWS IS NOT BARRED British Censor Says Bureau Will Not Abuse Confidence. LONDON, Nov. 25. In the course of a discussion in the House of Commons tonight relative to the censorship. Sir Stanley Buckmaster, director of the of ficial press bureau of the war office, said the censorship should have no con cern with politics and should not in any circumstances be used for coloring opinion in favor of the government. If that were done, he said, the govern ment would abuse the confidence of the nation and be guilty of a tase action. Sir Stanley declared he had no sym pathy with the view thAt bad newj should be prohibited. It was possible, however, that there might be circum stances in which a full disclosure of events might not be desirable and might even prove disastrous. The government accepted amend ments to the defense of the realm bill, defining the powers of the government with regard to action that could be taken In matters relating to the publi cation of news. FLEET IS ORDERED Eight Under-Sea Boats at Half Million Each to Be Built. BUYER'S NAME IS SECRET Union Iron Works, Operating TJnder Subcontract From Atlantic Coast Concern, Is Willing to Put Curiosity Aside. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25. (Spe cial.) The Union Iron Works has re ceived a contract from the Electric Boat Company for the Immediate con struction of eight submarines of un usually large dimensions and power. . The announcement was made two weeks ago In press dispatches from New York that the Electric Boat Com pany had an order for 20 high-powered submarines. It was net revealed at the time what was the source of the order or the nation from which It came. It was said, however, that the Fore River Shipbuilding Company would ob tain the work of building a portion of the scores of under-sea destroyers, and that the total cost of the 20 would be more than $10,000,000. " Force of Workers Increased. No confirmation of the report that the Union Iron Works had started on the hulls of eight of these big divers could be secured today and President McGregor is still in the East. How ever, the works have taken on unusual evidences of activity. Night shifts have been started to get out of the way some EXPERIENCES OF NOBLE WOM EN IN EUROPE. The horrible experiences that many noble women in Europe have endured during past few months can never be all told.

At the same time more men have been taken on and it is reported that the force at work has been increased by 400 mechanics. Ultimate Destination Kept Secret. The impression among the men is that the officials of the Union Iron Works have received this big contract from the Electric Boat Company with out knowledge of the ultimate desti nation of the $10,000,000 worth of sub marines. The Electric Boat Company Is the owner of the patents under which sub marines have been built for the United States Navy. Its custom is to let the contracts for the hulls to different shipbuilding corporations. Under this plan of operation the Union Iron Works has built submarine hulls for the Elec tric Boat Company In fulfillment of contracts secured by it from the United States. Incidentally, it means prospect of good times in San Francisco to have the Union Iron Works start to work night and day with 400 extra men. The theory is that If the Electric Boat Com pany has developed an unusual appe tite for $500,000 submarines, that Is strictly an affair of the Electric Boat Company. It might want to use them for towboats. , Walla Walla Plays Baker Today. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Nov. 25 (Special.)
