This age is about to see the greatest change in the relative positions of
the different portions of the human race. No matter how this war ends
whether it is a victory for the Teutons or their enemies it is certain to have
an effect that may well be called epochal.
If Germany and Austria and Turkey go down to defeat it will be, in the
first place the ending of the Turkish dominion in Europe. It will mean the
disruption of the Xustro-TIungarian empire and the coming of the Slav race
in southeastern Europe to a place in the concert of the great nations. It will
mean the crushing of Germany to the position ol a second class power, at
least, and the extinction of the Teutonic flame which had begun to cast a new
cultural light all over the world that tinted the thought of all schools of
philosophy. It will mean the elimination of the Germany industry and com-1
merical genius that had begun to capture the chief markets everywhere. And (
it will mean the sovereignty of Kussiain the east, the return of Trance to the
pinnacle of glory and the solidifying ol the position of (treat Britain for
centuries at least.
On the other hand the success of Germany, Austria and I urkev will
mean the predomination once more of the I urkish government south of the
Balkans. It may mean the liberation of Egypt and Persia and their union
in one great federation with Turkey, causing them, cemented by religious
harmony of thought to become a great non Christian power which may he
the base for the long expected war between the followers ot Christ and the
lollowers of Mohammed .It may mean the coming cf the glorious land of
Charlemagne. Bayard. Joan of Arc and the Great Napoleon to the time when j
the powers of Europe will make treaties and war without consulting it—with- i
out consulting the land that once stood supreme among the nations of the i
earth and dictated to empires as a master.
The victory of the Teutons may mean revolution in a weakened and im- !
poverished Russia and the dismemberment of the great but unwieldy empire.
It will mean the reduction of the Balkan powers to a state of dependence
upon their hated neighbor, Austria. It will mean that Germany will have* an
outlet to the English channel, and probably possession of Antwerp and other
parts of Belgium.
But the most momentous of all the meanings that victory tor Germany
would entail is the destruction of the power of Great Britain which is not
only the mistress of the sc*as but a mistress that must depend on its servant
for a livelihood.
The defeat of the British navy by Germany would alone make the greatest
alteration in the map of the world that has ever been brought about by a
single war. In the on** island of Great Britain alone there are some forty
millions of people who depend almost entirely on the sale ot British manu
factures. Let Germany once have the power to undermine this trade and
fifty per cent of that forty million would be faced by starvation. And no
longer could Great Britain hope to hold India. Egypt, South Africa and many
others of her numerous and extensive colonies which are the real source of
the trade that has made England rich. Canada would find herself compelled
to depend on the Monroe Doctrine alone for protection. The fleet of Britain
could no longer give her that protection and naturally the Dominion would
tind herself soon approaching a union with the nation without whose help she
could not exist. Australia would become isolated and in short the British em
pire would crumble like a house of cards.
But, only heaven knows what will happen, and it is left for poor humans
only to speculate as to the outcome of this catastrophe, and catastrophe it
surely is whatever the result may be.

SWEDE PRESS
GETS ANGRY
DECLARES SWEDEN IS NOT SUP
PLYING GERMANY WITH
NECESSARIES.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 1$.—Public
suspicion in England that the Scandi
! navian countries arc supplying Ger
main on a large scale with such com
modifies as wool, petrol and grain, has
i aroused the most energetic protests in
i the Swedish press. The suspicion is
wholly unfounded. Since the beginning
of the war and the declaration of
Swedish neutrality, the exportation of
! these commodities has been prohibited
! by the Swedish government. The or
! dor has been rigidly enforced.
Regarding the increase in Swedish
■ imports of corn, which the London
Times quotes as one basis of the sus
picion that Sweden is sending corn to
Germany, it is explained here that this
increased importation is due simply
to the fact that Sweden’s harvest of
common fodder this year has been
very poor. The corn is, to a great ex
tent, given to pigs. Thus the Swedish
papers point out that the Swedish and
Danish export of pork and ham to
England depends largely upon the
supply of corn, which is a reason Eng
land should look upon this import with
sympathy.
When the war broke out Sweden
was short 60 per cent of her usual pc
1 • *11 I
troleum supply, and Denmark in a still
worse plight, which accounts for the
present importations. Having the op
portunity to import Sweden is deter
mined to cover her own requirements,
for there is constant fear that traffic
may be stopped at any time.
England's prohibition of the export
of wool and some specified woolen
manufactures will cause some incon
venience to Swedish factories. The
need of the British action is not well
understood here, since Sweden, a long
time ago, had stopped the exportation
of any woolen articles to Germany.
A result of this restriction, it is
said, will be that Swedish manufact
urers will buy their wool directly from
the Argentine and in future pass by
the British merchants. Preparations
are already being made towards es
tablishing such direct importations, j
G. Aargaard, secretary of the Nor
wegian Chamber of Commerce in Lon
don, declares that charges against
Norway in connection with alleged ex
ports to Germany, are “absoluetly in
correct.” He presents the following
figures:
“The total imports into Norway of
grain of all kinds in the first ten
months of 1918 were 840,082 tons. The

GIVES WELCOME TO LOU
VAIN STUDENTS.
CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 17.—Cardinal
Merrier has appointed professors
from the University of Louvain to ar
range for four courses of the faculties
of theology, law, science and philoso
phy at Cambridge and the proposal
that the destroyed university shall
transfer its work here for the time be
ing is taking practical shape.
Students at Cambridge have started
a shilling fund for the assistance of
Belgian students and weekly contri
butions will be made on behalf of the
Louvain students, several hundred of
whom will doubtless begin their
work at Cambridge in a short time.
Cambridge has much more the ap
pearance of a garrison town than an
educational center. Students have
military drill instead of games for re
creation. Instead of rowing and foot
ball, drillmasters of the officers' train
ing corps put the students through
three hours of rigorous military train
ing every day and military lectures
are held at night.
At the military hospital medical
professors and demonstrators care for
hundreds of wounded soldiers quart
ered here. Both Belgians and British
wounded are sent to Cambridge. Oth
er Cambridge men are running a hos
pital ship at sea and two thousand
commissions in all have been granted
Cambridge graduates and ex-students
who are now at the front.
total imports this year, including
everything contracted for delivery up
to the end of this month, are 800,771
tons.
“The importation of coal into Nor
way during the first nine months of
11)13 was 1,933,168 tons. This year
there is a falling off to 1,684,718 tons.
“The importation of coke during the
first nine months of 1913 was 205,025
tons. This year there is a falling off to
170,438 tons. No coke or coal has been
re-exported from Norway except a
few hundred tons to the Norwegian
fishing steamers at Iceland and the
Faroe Islands.
“The total import of petrol this year
up to the present moment is about
2,300 tons, including a cargo of about
750 tons just arrived.
“We are all the more concerned that
the British public should have correct
information on this point, because,
owing to the present critical condi
tions, it is important that Norway
should lay in as large stocks as possi
ble of grain, coal and oil, and it is in
tended to increase the imports as far
as financial facilities will allow.
