IDE MltM WEEK HAT MAY ACCOM PUSH IN ENBING WAR > M STRATEGIC POSITION Mew York Expert Says Allied Towers May Orunljde KulKuria, Whip Tur key, Force Austria to a Separate Peace and Finally Heat Germany. x, When Germany cast her eyes to the East and saw the possibility of a vast new German empire she real- tied that the Oriental railroad was the line that would lead her to this place in the sun. Turkey was necessary to the occu pation of this line. Turkish troops and Turkish resources mobilized and organized in the interests of Ger many were the foundation stones on siam south. Consider the fact that ' Russia hm men in practically un limited number*. All of these men cannot be used effectively on the Russian front. Then consider the situation of Roumanla with respect to her ability to take advantage of this situation and get' these men to any point on her frontier she desires. Any point in Roumanla can be reached by the railroad from Czernowitz to Bucha rest. and reached with very little diversion. The line is straight, and follows the line of the Transylvanian border almost exactly. There are al«o other roads from Bessarabia. From Klshinef, In Bes sarabia, two roads run into Rou- mania, one northwest to Jassy and thence to the Czernowitz-Bucharest road, another southwest to Rent and thence to Galatz and Bucharest. Northern, Central, and Southern Bessarabia are thug tapped, and the conduits all lead direct into Bucha rest. Better lines of communication could not be asked for- There is, in addition, the Black Sea. As Russia has fully demon strated in her campaign against the Turks in Asia Minor, she fully con trols Ahe water route of-the Biack 3ea. Such Turkish war craft as are there have been given practically no trouble. Therefore, the water route la is also open. I Thus the Russians can send troops up the Danube, or, landing them at* Constanta, send them from that point by rail directvjo Bucharest, where they can be distributed. In deed, it Is difficult to see how these lines could be improved. It Is an exceedingly difficult prob which this empire must rest. ^ But Bulgaria was the bridge be- tc> J^ oun lJ^ tween Austria and Turkey. With out Bulgaria there could be no Ger man empire In the east, -s tliis span would be forever In Germany’s way. I Therefore, Germany was compelled to propitiate the bridge she needed and must use to cross into the land J of the future. , ^ L . . .... , And Germany, winning the diplo- 1 ' etn *o transport large bodies of autlc war at Sofia, induced Bulgaria- tfoop* over a single railroad system, to lend aid, and the bridge was cross- though it be double tracked. «d.

But this problem is reduced to its slm olest terms when there are several TTfW-rtmrrmir' Tains destined for the same term!- Greece on the one side, Roumania on ,a ’ m *y be rou, ®d differently. 1 To return to the Roumanian fron- otlier.

The •oly part of Serbia of any value to tks German scheme was that nortli- ■aatorn corner which contains the OrWttai railroad from Belgrade to NMl With this In German hands, the German desire was fait accompli. But just as a few months before Germany found herself unable to hmti on the line cf the Vistula when Roosts was all but exhausted, so mow, with the Oriental road in her possession, she could not bring her- sslf to halt, but drove un to rom- plate the destruction of the Serbian state and people. TIiIn was n w>p ly to Bulgaria, and it Is on protiably that the full force Mer. the inside of the jawa is lined with' the frontier of Transylvania. This frontier has not as yet been reached at any point by the Rus sians. but is still in Austrian pos session. It is A natural defensive wall both tar Roumania and Hungary. It Is 'iroken in numerous places by passes, hut of these only a few are of any nterest. In fact, there are only 'hree which could be used for mili tary purposes on a large scale, due •o the fact that the others are en tirety lacking In railroad facilities, ind for the moat part are even with out good highways. These three are he passes through which the vari ous railroads run from Roumania into Hungary _ _ _ _ Beginning in the north, the first pending BoumanUu blow'will of *• the Pass Oylmes. the aec- I >nd Is Tomos Pass, which leads to Cronstadt. and the third' Roten- thurm Pass, which leads to Her- mannstadt. A railroad also runs Tom Transylvania to the entrance of Vulkan Pass, but apparently has not yet been constructed through nto Roumania. _ | Tlie defensive problem of both This would have meant a shorter 'toumjuiU and of Austria, depending hazardous line of supplies “ B "Wo •* conducting the of- Hnd Germany seen fit to halt her mdvaare at a point south of the rail- rued from Belgrade to Nish, her position, now that Roumania has Jateed the Allies, would have been better than it Is at present, would have been much nearer mad she could have thrown troops raadlly to the support of both Bul- Karia and Hungary, depending on which line the Roumanians attacked It -hi possible that she might not kavw been able to pre\ent the Rou a an I an advance. But even if de feated. her line of r-treat would kase been shorthand che could have retired with very small loss. Now the Teutonic allies on the Heloalkl front are in truly desporate atraHs. They are miles away from Mselr nearest base, to whicli tJ ey are cousierted by the most fragile Chrend, the line of the Yardar Val ley. If anything happens to this sup ply line they are faced v/lt’a positive disaster. The great misteke of Ber lin is becoming apparent, just as her mistake in moving forward from the "Vistula line has been emphasized by the great successes of Russia. Roumania. the greater and more Important of the abutments that "have tacitly supported the Bulgarian bridge on the north, has decided to Klve this support no longer. Greece, the southern abutment, is herself on the verge of a similar decision. Owe end of the bridge Is falling. Vbe other is trembling on its sup port. When It falls the Teutonic allies in front of SalonIVI are faced aot with a mere retirement, as they would have been had the Germans halted along the line of the Morava River, but with the possibility ®f capture or destructl n. The strategical position of Rou- maala i* unique among the i>owers at war- It is the most advantage- nas from which to strike any of Use belligerents, regardless of the tide (he Roumanians took. It is most advantageous for an attack against the Central Powers. A~brief study of the map will tihow Just where this advantage lies. Roughly, Rountania may be compar- ed to the open jaws of a pair of pin- ears, with the Hungarian province of Transylvania between the Jaws. The end of the northern jaw is the prov- tnee of Bukowlna. the Austrian erownland. Bukowlna Is almost completely In Russian control. No definite advices have been re ceived from official soiyces to show Rwete beyond the village of Klmpo- leng. But Rimpolung Is In the ex treme southern part of the province, aud we know that It is in Russian hands. Bokowln* is, moreover, adequate- br supplied with railroad communi- ctiRece reaching tar down into Rou- sesuli aad connecting with Bucha- reeL From Czernowiu south the ten the very' heart of This road can be used to trmasport OS leatiaaesceth. fry ihe Rae- rherafter of the country and Its (Intensive advantages, requires at least three hundred thousand ad ditional men. But Austria cannot find these men. The great Russian blows which Aus tria has had to sustain since June 4, coupled with the losses which Italy has Inflicted on her In the counter offensive In Trentlno and the offen sive on the Isonzo, have reduced the available effectives in Austria until she is hard pressed to defend her. small portion of the Rusaian-Galictan line without adding another six hun dred miles. Transylvania offehs an attractive field for an attack for still another reason. Roumania covets Transyl vania, l\opes to get it when the spoils of war are divided and has probably nominated it as part of her reward for siding with the Allies. Transylvania, "with Bukowina, is the richest part of Hungary in oijs and minerals. It is but natural then that Roumania, if she has the poWer to do so, should first occupy that which she most wants. Against tills, however, is the fact that when Roumania entered the war she did so on the same footing as the other Entente powers. These powers are under the control of the Allied general staff, which has dictated the recent military policy of the Allies. Roumania realizes that until the war is won there is nothing to divide and that the Allies therefore cannot give her Transylvanla_or any other territory now held by*- the Central Powers until they can take it from the Central Powers and have their possession confirmed by the treaty of peace. Against this move is the diffi culty of defending the Bulgarian frontier, whose only natural barrier Is the Danube. It is but little over thirty miles from the Bulgarian frontier to Bucharest, so that an in vasion of Roumania from the south would be a serious menace to the Roumanian capital. vVhile there Is not necessarily any military advan tage In the capture of a foreign capi tal. there is unquestionably a great political and psychological advan tage, which might be far reaching. itPha w—Is* pa«®iMU«lse>4m^*tiew ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ CLASSIFIED COLUMN AND | J FARMERS EXCHANGE f N^arry—For sure success try an old reiponsilne club, established nine years; guarantees satisfa Mon; over fifty thousand members; many -wealthy; testimonials and descrip tions free.

Anderson, Pen sacola, Fla. \ f lue, is practically limited to the guarding of these passes. The sit uation. geographically, is closely par allel to that of Italy In Trentlno. In order to neutralize this entire province, a project in whtfh Italy has been engaged since the Outbreak Of war. it has been necessary only to block these gateways by which the Austrian troops could find their way into the plain of Northern Italy. Thus, if Roumania elects to deliver her blow at some other line rather than against Transylvania, she can block up the passes, and feel reason ably secure to seek her objective In another theatre. The southern border of Roumania, that Is, the Bulgsrian-Roumanian frontier, is entirely different. Hprq the country is free from mountains and entirely open. It is screened from attack ohly by the Danube, which is, of course, an obstacle not to be ignored. It is spanned, how-- ever, in numerous places by bridges, and although some of these bridge heads might give the Roumanians trouble in their attempts to advance, it is doubtful if they could arrest progress for any length of time," But it is not vital to take these bridgeheads and force the crossings of the river, 't’here is a much more feasible scheme of accomplishing the same result should the resistance be sufficiently great to make a detour advisable. Many miles of the lower Danube run entirely through Rou mania and do not touch Bulgaria at all. By advancing along the south ern bank of the river into Bulgaria, every bridgehead could be flanked and taken without the more -expen sive frontal attack. , This, then, Is about all there is to the defenses of the Roumanian bor der countries. I refer, of course, to the natural defenses incident to the terrain; not to the artificial defenses which have been created In the last few years. As to the possible lines of attack which Roumania can follow, much may be written. The first ^hat oc curs is an invasion of Transylvania by way of the passes across the* mountains. Successful operations here would result in the elimination" of Austria from the war. If Roumania could force the pas sages across.the mountains, the Aos- trlan army which is opposing the Russians in Southern bukowlna would be taken squarely in the flank and be forced to retreat This would -expose the right flank of the army defeeding the Dniester passages about Halles, which, tn turn, would affect the entire Teuton Un* as far north as Riga. could probably be obtained through Rumania working to the south in her offensive, instead of to Jhe west. It must be remembered that the greater part of the Bulgarian army, as well as an Austrian and German contin gent, Is operating In the region of Salonlkl. As stated above, the supply lines of retreat of the Salonlkl army are few. In fact, they are limited to the railroad which runs up the valley of the Yardar and divides at Dskub. This railroad Is reached at Nish by the eastern end of the Oriental road, which comes In from Bulgaria. If. therefore, the Roumanians could reach Nish, the entire defense at Salonlkl must collapse Let us see what this would mean. In the first place, the Teutonic allies would be confronted with the problem of getting their troops out—of with drawing over a single railroad, which was in danger of being rut at any time by the allied Salonlkl army. It would, either be this or starve. There would be no other alternative. The losses of the Teutonic allies.In such a movement would of necessity be great. Even in their retreat they would be caught for lack of any place of safety which they could reach. Their only chance would be to get Into Austria through Bosnia and Hersgo- vins. All of Serbia would be cleared and restored to Its owners. Thus the Germans would lose all that they %on In their campaign of last fall. Their place. In the sun would be gone, their losses sustained in the Serbian fighting uncompensat ed by-any-.return commensurate or otherwise. Bulgaria would ".s a mil itary force cease to exist, and with Bulgaria out of the way of the Allies the pathway to Constantinople would be thrown wide open. The great German bridge would have been reconstructed by her ene mies. Such a success would mean that first Bulgaria and then Turkey would have to sue for peace, and the great Russian army of the Caucasus w'buld be freed for use upon the front in Russia and France. The one weakness of the Central Powers is the back door of Hungary, the entrance aerpss the Danube at Belgrade. The- Allies saw it long ago, even befq^e Serbia fell, but they were not ready to take advantage of the situation. Their preparedness was not complete. Roumania was not with them, Bulgaria was against them. Therefore, they had to wait until a more favorable opportunity presented itself. Now the time is ripe. With Rou mania paralyzing in this fashion the entire system of defense about Salon ika all of the allied army now aY Saloniki, probably the Greek army, and surely the greater part of the Roumanian army, heavily reinforced by Russians, in all (without Greece) a force of a million and a half men; with Greece, another three hundred and fifty thousand would be along the Serbian frontier, ready to rush across the line and plow a way into the heart of Austria and to strike at Budapest and the German country to the north. The shift in the battle line in Russia from Volhynia to Riga can be readily imagined. The result would be a separate peace for Aus tria—and then the end. This is nqt a prophecy or an at tempt to forecast what will happen. The Roumanian campaign is in its very first stages, so embryonic In fact that it is not yet possible to tell where she will strike with her main force.
