long detour since last Friday. Only
I two telegraph wires are working,
however. Lineman Sadler told a
New? reporter that the water would
have to recede fifteen feet or more
before all the wires could be put in
working order. The current of this
miniature flood was so great that the
telegraph poles had to be anchored
to the railroad track to keep them
from washing away.
The marooned trains which have
bee' in the water there since last
Friday got out yesterday afternoon.

BRITISH TO ABANDON
DARDANELLES
Great Britain stands today face to
face with the most serious and the
most humiliating problem with which
she has had to deal in the field of
her military operations Outride of
her own domain. For many months
the British expeditionary force sent
to effect the passage of the Dardan-
elles has struggled heroically against
the Turk* During the initial stages
of this struggle efforts were concur,
trated in the work of beating down
the great forts that guard the en-
trance to the Sea of Marmora. When
it was first proposed in London that
British battleships be sent on this
assignment there was much rejoic-
ing. It was considered as something
of a frolic. The task could be so
easily accomplished that it would im-
mediately establish Great Britain in
1 high favor among her allies. The
British sea lords even declined to ac-

The final entrance of Bulgaria into
the war, announced in the press dis-
patches yesterday, undoubtedly sig-
nalizes the beginning of another Bal-
kan war—a sort of war within a war,
in that the Balkan nations will con-
fine themselves to the restricted ar-
ena of their own territories, though
the conflict will be aggravated by the
assistance of the great powers al-
ready aligned against each other.
That some very alluring promises
have been made to induce Bulgaria
to enter into an alliance with both
Germany and Turkey goes without
saying, which fact makes all the more
patent the international chaos which
reigns in Europe today. The latest
developments are another triumph for
German diplomacy and lend greater
pertinency to the very vigorous crit-
icisms of English diplomatic short-
comings, which are being launched
against Sir Edward Grey in his own
country. The war originally started,
if it had any any reason for starting
at all, as a resistance by Germany
against the "Slav peril."
All the "books" of various colors
which have been issued agree that
Germany had good reason to fear
Slav aggression. Knowing that Ser-
bia was only Russia in disguise and
that Russia's age-long dream was to
reach a southern outlet, "to drink
warm water," in the picturesque
phrase of the historians. Germany de-
fended her action by declaring that
her very existence depended upon pre-
venting the junction of Russia and
the other Slavic powers of the Bal-
kans.
Yet today Bulgaria, the most pow-
erful of all the Balkan races, smart-
ing under the grievances resulting
from the second Balkan war, is the
ally of that same Germany which ia
supposedly resisting the "Slav per-
il." This same Bulgaria is the ally
of its immemorial enemy. Turkey,
which has inflicted upon it wrongs
compared with which the injustice of
the treaty closing the second Balkan
war is insignificant. Germany has
therefore palpably out-generaled the
diplomats of the Allies, and the de-
cisive defeat of Russia, the greatest
of the Slav powers, has apparently
been the final argument, inducing
Bulgaria to side with the Teutons and
influencing most of the other Balkan
nations either to maintain a discreet
neutrality or more or less openly
sympathize with Germany.
It is small wonder that pessimism
is prevalent in Great Britain and that
the opinion should be so general that
some monumental blunders have been
committed by the Allied diplomats of
which German astuteness has not
failed to take advantage. Evidently
it is more than a coincidence that
Ferdinand of Bulgaria is an Austrian
prince, that the queen of Greece is
the kaiser's sister and that the shad-
ow of German influence hovers over
the whole Balkan group.
