Any events of & cofitradictory nature that may take place after the Centre Democrat goes to press must be considered {from the standpoint of time.) War in Slow Motion While Franch troops have with- drawn from most of the German territory that they occupied during the early weeks of the struggle, the war in Europe presents spectacle of belligerants reluctant to accept the fact ot war and hesi- | tant to begin the activity that will reSult in widespread death and destruction The general idea seems to be that the Western Front will present quiet sector for some months, al- though it is possible that Germany | defensive | will glect to test her power against the French, more probable, however, that the Teéutonic leaders will direct their activity against British shipping in the hope that combined aerial and submarine aftacks will seriously threaten the continuance of British trade routés which are vitally ne- cossary to the ex®ience of 4hal Empire. Meanwhile, diplomatic continues with both sides every effort to win support many, it appears, having won Rus- sia, attempt to divide the Balkan area without giving Italy her share of the spoils. The War Fools Us Before the war in Europe gol underway, most Americans were convinced that it would launch the most terrific destruction of life and property that the world has experi- enced As a matter of fact, most theories the pre-war period have been | disproved. It was generally assum ed. for example Germ and Italy would immediately move smash the defenses of Great Britain and France. This hasn't worked out and ILialy has not even come into the struggle The general supposition, before the war began, was that a declara- tion of war would be followed im mediately by huge squadrons of bombing planes, raining death and destruction upon the populations of Great Britain and Pranee, So far! tiere has been no raid upon de- fenseles; cit } been used and naval objectiv prising but explainable ground that, with both sides evenly balanced air power, each hesitate to start a wave of de- sttuction that would be mutually disastrous No wonder Hugh Gibson Ambassador to Belgium. says the European tion mostly a series of question marks for which nobody seems to know the answers.” He says, “There never was a war in which there was so much uncer- tainty as to where and how and when.” Mr. Gibscn returned to this coun- try after fifteen months’ travel in Europe, He has been unable to get It is activity of that 1ANY to on about forme: «itu 4 LEA 8 al “underlying facts about the war” but believes that the Allies can win | bechuse of their strength and Ger- many's weaknesses. The latter he explained. were food rationing, lack of oil 50 essential for a mechanized war, undigested Polish and Czech minority groups and an under-cur- rent of discontent What the Pacts With Turkey Means The agreement signed by Great Britain, France and Turkey repre- sents a diplomatic victory for the Western democracies and. appar- ently, assures the cooperation of Turkey in the defense of the exist. ing order in the Eastern Mediter- ranean and Balkan States. The strategic Dardanelles, gateway into the Black Sea, it seems, will be cpent to the war ships of these pow- ers, if necessary, in connection with the duties assumed by the three powers in relation to the territory affected. i For nearly three weeks prior the signing of the pacts, the Turk- | ish Poreizn Minister was in Moscow, | attempting te sfeure som® under- | standing with the Bovis Govern | ment.

That the Italians have aspirations {n the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as in the Balkan regions, is cetain. These ambitions are barred by the new Anglo-French-Turkish agree- ment but they would be just as #f- fectively barred by an agreemen. between Russia and Cefmihy to share the spoils of the Balkans, Resent dispatches indicate that Italy ls somewhat disposed to lead ————— quo in the Balkan Region. If this is the correct analysis of the Italian altitude, the new agreement pre- sents no barrier 0 some form of | cocperation with Turkey and the Allies to this end. On the other hand, if Italy is merely looking for her share of the spoils, some deal with Germany and Russia might satisfy Italian ambitions and assure Italian cooperation with Germany | and Russia {grains used for ba The Mystery of the Royal Oak [8 . 8s The first report of the sinking of | the British battleship Royal Oak | by a German submarine did not | give any detalls about the disaster | This led to « {erable speculation that the German Navy hag devel- {oped a more powerful torpedo or {improved melhods in operalon which made U-boals more danger- ous than ever, During the World War, German submarines sank two British battie- ships off the Dardanelles and three cruisers in one hour in the North Sea.
