Belgrade, Serbia, Dec. 18.—(Cor
respondence of the Associated Press.)
What great military and economic
advantages were gained by the Ger
mans and their allies with the open
ing of traffic on the Danube, has been
shown by the activity in shipping
which developed directly the Serbs
had been driven from the banks of
the river. Fighting along the Danube
was still in progress when the Aus
trians started to clear a channel
through the mine fields which the
Russians, Serbs and English had laid
out. Meanwhile large tows, carrying
military supplies needed by Turkey
and Bulgaria, were being brought
down the river from Austro-Hungar
ian and German ports and assembled
at Semlin, ready for the minute when
navigation became possible. Austrian
river monitors, notably the Sava and
Temes, had in the meantime patrolled
the the Danube as- far as Lorn Palan-
ka, and later to Ruschuck, both Bul
garian ports, and in so doing had
cleared the river of some Russian
armed merchant vessels stationed in
the Rumanian port of Tum-Severin.
That these vessels were not sunk or
captured by the Austrians is due to
the fact that, on the day which the
Associated Press correspondent made
the trip up the river as a guest on
the Sava, they were being convoyed
down stream by Rumanian monitors,
the. Russians themselves flying the
Rumanian flag.
The Bulgarian port of Lorn Palanka
was the scene of great activities. For
over fifteen months no boats from up
stream had 1 arrived there. Now the
jetties were crowded with barges from
Austria and Germany. On the pre
vious day King Ferdinand of Bulga
ria and Premier Radoslavoff had been
at Lorn Palanka to assist in the re
sumption of traffic between Bulgaria
and the Central Powers, an event
which Germany and Austria-Hungary
thought important enough to have in
augurated by Duke Albrecht of Meck
lenburg, brother-in-law of Emperor
William, who was a passenger on the
first convoy arriving.
For the first two weeks nothing but
military supplies were shipped down
stream, principally arms and ammuni
tion for Bulgaria and Turkey. Both
these countries stood in need of heavy
artillery and artillery ammunition.
Some of the later boats brought a
large number of heavy motor trucks,
combat and scout aeroplanes, ambul
ances and sanitary supplies. Since
then ordinary merchandise has been
admitted to shipment The returning
barges and boats carry ray material
of all sorts and foodstuffs. During
the last few days a regular passenger
and mail service to Lorn Palanka has
been in operation, until today traffic
on the Danube may be considered
normal with the difference that never
before had it known such proportions.
The military supplies of which Bulga
ria and Turkey can make use of are
many, and on the other hand, Austria-
Hungary and Germany offer an eager
market for the agricultural and ani
mal industry products of the two!
first mentioned countries.
Some anxiety had been felt in Con
stantinople and late in Sofia that the
heavy demand which the war made
on their relatively scant stores of ar
tillery ammunition might soon create
a problem it would be difficult to
solve in case a free route of communi
cation were not opened up. This, in
fact, was the principal reason why
the long delayed offensive against
Serbia was undertaken, when it was,
though the attitude of Bulgaria nec
essarily played an important part In
this. But German and Austrian war
stores were not the sole factor. The
Central Powers could make good use
of Turkish and Bulgarian wool, skins,
hides, cereals and copper ores and
Turkey and Bulgaria needed the rev
enues which would come from the
sale of these materials. It is to be
doubted that history ever before pre
sented an instance in which the open
ing of a line of communication met
so adequately the neds of four allied
peoples engaged in war, or that from
this condition so urgent a necessity
had sprung. For the first time since
the outbreak of the Eijropeadi war
Germany and Austria-Hungary are
relatively independent economically,
while Turkey and Bulgaria now have
within their reach an inex
haustible supply of war ma
terials, inhaustible today because
the German and Austny Hungarian
arms and ammunition manufacturers
now have access to, the great mineral
stores of the Balkan and Ottoman
Empire. The shortage of copper in
the central states) has been ended by
the taking of the copper mines near
Milanovac and elsewhere in Serbia.
Bulgaria, too, has a large number of
copper mines, the best of them neat
Mesdra, on the Mcsdra-Lom Palanka
branch railroad, and the Turks can
meet any possible shortage with ores
from Anatolia, notably from the
Smyrna region. Chemical raw ma
terial also may be brought from Tur
key in Asia and a paucity of cotton
for explosives is no\Jr altogether un
likely, since this staple is produced in
considerable quantities in the Cllician
plain. It is of interest to learn that
even a placer gold field has fallen
Into the hands of the Central Powers,
For the five days spent on the river
the total cannot ,b e less than 40,000
carloads, or, with bulk and weight
brought into relations, over a million
tons. Many of the tows came direct
ly from Germany, the names of the
barges' home ports and the distances
traveled indicating that they had been
concentrated in the Austrian reaches
of the Danube when the offensive
against Serbia had not yet begun. As
an example of German and Austro-
Hungarian- thoroughness, the prepa
rations for the resumption of Danube
traffic are noteworthy.
Already train connections for mil
itary purposes exist between Beilin
and Constantinople and, according to
assertion made here, a thorough pas
senger and, express freight service
will 1 he in operation within three
weeks via Belgrade and Nish. The
Seflbs were not given time enough to
destroy the line as thoroughly as it
was expected they would and as a re
sult of this people here hope to travel
soon on the “B” Express, a train teat
will link “iBrussells-Berlin-Budapest-
Belgrade-Bulgaria-Byzanthlum.”
