A VANISHING POWER
Except in the seemingly remote pos
sibilities of the Dual Alliance achieving
an overwhelming victory over the allies,
the downfall of Turkey as a factor in
Continental Europe seems the most
outstanding probability of the war. Ex
cept for the soke of policy on the part
of Austria and Germany there is little
doubt that every nation in Europe
would gladly see the Turks driven into
their Asiatic possessions, there to re
main forever and a day. Since the
Uth century the Turk has been one of
the principal disturbing elements in
European affairs and even in the days
of Iter decline, which began in the reign
of Sultan Mohammed IV in the 16th
century, Turkey has repeatedly plunged
the European countries into costly and
sanguinary wars. For centuries the
Turks held the balance of power in
Eastern Europe and made their name
detested over half of Europe because
of the barbarous cruelties committed
wherever their ruthless hands were
laid. At various periods since the
name of Turk was first written in the
pages of history, about the year 80a
A. D., the Turkish possessions have
included Asia Minor, Egypt, the whole
northern coast of Africa while in Eu
rope the Turkish domain at one time
extended over, practically, the whole
southeastern section, south of the Car
pathians and westward to Vienna, in
cluding the Crimea on the northern
shore of the lilack sea. The first great
check to the westward march came in
1683 when the long invincible armies
of Turkey were severely defeated be
fore the walls of Vienna. Although
Europe, for centuries thereafter, con
tinued to tremble at the name of Turk,
the decline of the nation continued
steadily. Throughout the later part
of the 17th and the 18th centuries the
wars with Russia and Hungary were
frequently renewed and larg'O sections
of territory were wrested from her
possessions by Russia. Greece won her
freedom in a series of wars lasting
from 1821 to 1838. in 1834 the great
war with Russia, in which Turkey was
aided by England, France and Sard
inia. was commenced and at its con
clusion Turkey, for the first time in
nearly a century sheathed the sword
without the loss of a foot of her terri
tory. After intermittent fighting with
various of her Balkan and Adriatic
provinces, the last great war with
Russia was fought in 1877 and except
for the intervention of England would
probably hate ended the domination
of Turkey on European soil Through
the power and diplomacy of England
she was • nahled to retain her foothold
however anil It was not until the
Italian and Balkan wars of the present
period that she was again forced into
the relinquishment of a large section
of her territory After overrunning
Europe for centuries, -lie has lieen
gradually for- ed back, foot l.v foot,
until her European possessions at the
present time constitute barely seven
hundred square miles of territory . The
boundless power and national glory
that were hers has melted away and
the present chapter being written in
her history may well have “Einis"
marked al Its close I,ike the count
less nations of the past, pomp and
glory, power and the pride of place
have all crumbled into dust and are
I fast vanishing into nothingness The
| glory of yesterday is one w ith that of
j Rome and Carthage and ttie heritage
]of oblivion which has tieen their por
tion is fast enshrouding Turkey in its
all concealing folds.
Today her ancient enemy. Russia, is
again pounding at her gates and is
Ibis time strengthened hy Frank and
and Briton her erstwhile friends That
she is doomed as an European power
seems a foregone conclusion, regardless
I of who wins or loses in the mighty
! European conflict for the detestation
of the Turk is «. general throughout
tlie nations that in the final settlement,
at the close of the great war, hardly
one friend wil! be found io lend a
helping hand in saving her from the
|long averted blow which will drive her
hack into the lands front whence she
1 sprang
We doubt if Germany herself will
'■vert more than the most perfunctory
interest and even such interest will be
j soidv tieen use of a probability
that Turkey m iv tie useful for yet a
