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.” $50.00 REWARD.
