EXPERT REVIEWS WAR,
SHOWS IMPORTANCE OF
POSSESSION OFBAGDAD
By J..W. T. Mason.
(Written for the United Tress.)
New York, Doc. 27. Uennany 1ms
won the overlund pnthway to her place
in the sun, as the close of tho fighting
of 11U5 merges into the second winter
of tho European war. But the seas still
Temain shut to tho Teutons and econ
omic distress and food scarcity are ex
erting a more pronounced pressure for
peace in tho Central Empires than
emong tho other belligerent nations.
The primary causo of the war has
been lost this year to both of the orig
inal participants. The conflict began
over the irreconciablo Balkan differ
ences of Kussia and Austro-Hungary.
Each power wanted to be supremo .in
, southeastern Europo. Tho end of the
fighting in 1015 finds Kussia held in
check beyond tho Balkan border, while
Austro-Hungary is playing minor mili
tary port in Nerbia under the direction
of Jlurslinl Von Mackenscn and the
German general stuff. Ocrmnn influ
ences are now dominant in the Balkans,
The KuiHCr has wrested the first priiso
of the war from the .Slavs themselves,
nd from his own southern ally as well.
Bulgaria's entrance into tho' conflict
on the side of the Teutons has been the
year's most important development.
The military consequences which havo
followed Bulgaria's action, have given
to the Germans a clenr road from Ber
lin to Bagdad. The Mcsopotaminn me
tropolis has long been marked by Ger
man statesmen to becomo the Berlin of
the middlo east and the center of Ger

this precious right of way. The British
fleet can prevent Germany from ex
panding overseas, but it cannot block
the road to the new empire in the east.
This is the dominant heason for Ger
many's interest in Bagdad.
Attack From the South.
An Anglo-Indian expedition, after 12
mnnttia' i.iil tw irt li w v,l thrnmrti Moan.
potnmia from the Persian gulf, is nowj
trying to enter tsugdna iiy tne rrour
door. But the Turks under German lead
ership have thrust the invaders AO miles
to the south of Bagdad, and tho city
at the close of the ,rear remains safe
for the Teutons. Nevertheless, during
the year's fighting, the British have
captured the Garden of Men and other
territory between the Tigris and Euph
rates rivers greatly desired by Ger
many. If the German dream of a Teu
tonic empire in the middle east is to
eome true, the district tietween Bagdad
and the Garden of Kilen, 25n mileB to
the south, must either be won by a new
militnry offensive, or purchased in the
peace conference after the war.
Tho militnry developments of the
year make it certain that the Bussian
bear will not be able to take his drink
of warm water at the Persian gulf;
and little less than a miiacle must now
hnppen to give the czar Constantinople
for an outlet to tho unfrozen sens. The
British effort to enter Constantinople
by way of the Gallipoli peninsula hns
failed during the year, and Great Bri
tain is now reluctant to undertake a
second costly experiment in southeast
ern Kurope for Kussia 's soke. The ease
with which the Teutons and Bulgarians
have been able to overran Serbia appar
ently has been due to Great Britain's
disinclination to risk wasting her
strength in a major Balkan offensive.
Tho odds nil favor the Teutonic allien
in tho Bnlkans because of their unim
peded lines of communication.
Disagree About Balkans,
British interests in the Balkan cam
paign is primarily due to its bearing on
the security of Kgypt. Lord Kitchener's
visit to the Ix-vnnt during the latter
part of tho year and his quick return,
seem to have created a belief in London
that Egypt is not in any immediate
jeopardy. The British now nppnrently
have concluded that Egypt can be bet
ter defended along the Suez cunal than
in the Balkans. The advantage of com
munications, which tho German's possess
in the Balkans, would pass to the Bri
tish if the Teutons and Turks were to
attempt an offensive by crossing the
desert to the enst of Suez.
The Russians, however, are urgently
pressing Great Britain to pursue the
Balkan campnign. Otherwise, tho cznr
will probably be the war's principal
loser. His own tronjia. waiting, ns the
year ends, to evade Bulgaria by way
of Rumania, can hardly prove equal
to the task, unassisted. The Teutons,
Bulgarians and Turks have certainly
700,1)00 men available for Balkan opera
tions and this force might possibly be
increased to a million. Unquestionably
differences of opinion have arisen
among the allies duing the year because
of divergent Bulkan military policies,
The conflicting interests have not been
reconciled in detail as the year ends.
P.ustiia's defeat on her own soil by the
combined Austro-Hungnrian and Ger
man offensives this summer was not
sufficiently decisivo to cnuse the czar
to sue for a separate peace. The Grand
Duke Nicholas saved the greater part
of his armies, and although he was to
moved from his command because of
the loss of Gaticia aud tho Vistula de
fenses, he prevented the kaiser from
compelling the czar to surrender. The
Russian militnry failure was followed
by the suppression of the Duma, the
populur legislative body, and the coun
cil -of the empire, the buronucrntic legis
lative house. The cznr is now govern
ing by fint as a complete autocrat, re
lying neither on the people themselves
nor on tho bureaucracy.
Trenches Not Impregnable.
The year has seen no change of im
portance along the western battlofront.
The French in Champagne, and the
French and British in Artois attempted
to develop a simultaneous major of-
lensive (luring the last week in Nop
tcniber, but without success. The Ger
mans lost a few miles of trenches, but
they were able to check the enemy be
fore the drives threatened to compel
a general retirement toward the Ger
man frontier. The result of the costly
experiment Bhowed that tho Teutonic
trenches are not impregnable, but also
revealed the fact that the Anglo-French
general staffs have not solved the prob
lem following up one successful at
tack by another in tho face of German
artillery.
Ituly's entrance into the war this
year has had disappointing results for
Great Britain, Kussia and France. The
Italians, after seven months' fighting,
have not gained as much territory as
Austria offered to cede lat spring in
exchange for Italy's benevolent neu
trality. The principal factor working
against Italian success hns been the su
periority which trench warfnro gives to
an army on the defensive. The Roman
government is now facing serious
though subdued criticism at home. As
tho year ends, there are reports that
pressure it being exerted in favor of the
return to power of the veteran pro-Ger-mnn
ex-premier Ginlitti. Italy has
signed nn agreement with the other
members of tho Quadmplo Entente not
to make a separate pence, but if Rlgnor
Giolitti were to be made prime minister,
he would undoubtedly use his influence
for peace at the earliest moment.
Finance the Question.
Tho finnncinl situation among all the
belligerents has steadily grown more
and more serious as the expenses of the
conflict during the year havo ceaseless
ly mounted. The total daily et of the
war la now about R5,000,000, two
thirds of which is being paid hy the

quadmplo entente, and one-third by
Germany and her allies. The British,
who have been most lavish in their pay
ments, have also been the most sincere
in facing tho criticnl monetary prob
lems of the war. Great Britain alone
among the belligerents has begun to
shoulder the finnnciul burden of the
conflict by accepting largo war taxes.
Elscwhoro tho war is prolonged almost
exclusively on borrowed money. It is
probablo that the exhaustion of golileii
bullets, and tho accompanying danger
of economic disaster will be tho prin
cipal determining fuctors in bringing
the war to au end.
Tho food situation In Germany and
Austro-Iiungnry, lias become more seri
ous this year than lust, but has not
grown sufficiently hazardous to compel
the Teutons to acceput peace. It is a
contributing cnuse, nevertheless, to the
persistent desiro for peace which is
more apparent in Germany as the year
closes than anywhere else. A nation
which will consent to live on half ra
tions indefinitely if it is fighting a de
fensive war, may refuse a long curtail
ment, of food if the government has of
fensive purposes in view. As this ye.nr'e
fighting drew to an end, Dr. Von' Beth-munn-Holwegg,
the Uerman chnncellor,
declared in the reiehstng that Germany
was fighting a defensive war to pre
vent herself being crushed hy the allies.
But last August, Dr. Helfferieh, the
German minister of finance, announced,
also in the reichstag, that Germany's
war expenses would bo paid by an in
demnity collected from the enemy. The
yenr is closing without any disavowal
rrom ttorun ot ur. Heinerich's iutiina-
tion of conquest.
THE "COME-BACK' .
Tho "Comeback" man was really
never down-and-out. His weakened
condition because of over work, lack
of exercise, improper eating and living,
demands stimulation to pntisfy the cry
for a health-giving appetite and the
refreshing sleep essential to strength.
