Asia is Cause of War; Africa the
Great Prize.
Iri'lianapolis New.).
The cause of the war in Europe is
Asia. The ureal territorial prize is Af
rica. Those facts arc not evident on the
face of the war situation. To-day the
world is talking of the French demand
for revenue for 1870, and counting Al
sace-Lorraine as the great prize for
French victory and the establishment of
a pan-Slavonia and possibly the absorp
tion of Germany anti Austrian Poland
for Russia.
Thus far the odds have been so pic
turesquely overpowering against the
Germans and Austrians that there has
not been so much speculation as to what
the prizes will he if the war balance
swings the other way. Certainly those
who limit their view to European terri
torial and monetary indemnity are see
ing a very small part of the game that
is being played.
To all, except those who have followed
European political moves ami ambitions,
the assertion that the real cause of the
war is Asm seems ill founded. Those,
however, who have seen the German-
Austrian struggle for trade routes to
India and the groat markets beyond,
know that behind tho Austrian-Serb
hostilities, (and largely the cause of it,)
looms up tho indomitable determination
of Germany-Austria to strike for a direct
German controlled railroad from Vienna
across the Balkans to the Aegean sea.
That was the real reason why Servia
did not got the fruits of her successful
war against the Turk, and why she was,
through the diplomatic negotiations,
driven back from the Adriatic, and why,
also, Montenegro did not get her cap
tured port in Scrutari. Eor Servia to
go to the Adriatic meant the establish
ment of a racially hostile country across
the Germany-Austria's “path of desti
ny" to the Aegean or to the Mediter
ranean at the very ddor of the East
the Suez canal.
It was resentment over these diplo
matic “outrages.” as the Servian peo
ple call the denial of the fruits of victo
ry, that fanned the l’an-Serb hostility
toward Austria and made the Serb secret
societies a menace to her. This resent
ment finally fired the assassin's brain
and set off the spark IImt has thrown
Europe into arms.
Close analysis will also show that the
great territorial prizes of war are to be
found far distant from European terri
tory. Alsaee-Lorraine as a prize is, so
far as land area goes, only one-seventh
the size of Indiana. Russia Roland- if
Germany should take that land tribute
from Russia—is smaller than Illinois,
if Austria.should wipe Servia from the
map and put it under her banners, she
would only acquire a territory half us
large as Indiana. These are only illus
trations. which forcefully present the
fact that, so far as European map
changes are concerned, they may be
expected to be small.
The great territorial indemnities must
be sought in other directions. Decisive
German supremacy in Europe, especial
ly if accompanied by German defeat of
the British navy, would affect even Aus
tralia, Canada, New Zealand and Hong
Kong, and might even raise the ques
tion of whether they were to continue
British.
Africa has been too long looked on as
the great dark continent hy Americans.
They cannot appreciate the rich prize
there which is now at stake. It takes
a man witli the broad vision of the new
Africa, such as that of E. Alexander
Rowell, to give an estimate of it. He
has done so in “The Last Frontier.’’
“Wehave,” hepolntsout, “witnessed
one of the moat remarkable episodes in
ihe history of the world. In less than
a generation we have seen the French
dream of an African empire stretching
without interruption from the Mediter
ranean to the Congo literally fulfilled.
* * * She has had her revenge for
the loss of Alsace-Lorraine by forestall
ing Teutonic colonial ambition in every
quarter of the globe. * * * In Af
rica, her sphere »f influence extended
over -15 per cent, of the land area and
24 per cent, of the population.”
Germany, Rowell points out, came into
tho opening of the great continent late,
and found most of it occupied. The
kaiser had hard wdrk gaining every
foot that he has acquired. But he has,
one way or another, caught up German
East Africa, looking out on the Indian
ocean, and German Southwest Africa,
on the Atlantic. Though they are small
dots on the map of Africa, still each is
as third as large as the United States.
Then he has gained also Kamerun, on
the western bight, and it is only n lit
tle smaller than Texas. Sandwiched in
between the French Dahomoy and the
British gold coast he has Togoland,
which is just a shade smaller than In
diana.
The kaiser has already, in his East
African possessions, thrown a blockade
across Cecil Rhodes’ and the British em
pire's great dream of an “ull rail route”
from Cairo to the cape, and he has been
working, with the possibility of success,
to get a connecting strip across Africa,
tying the two large German colonies to
gether with railroads and other influ
ences. The possibility of this has been
made the greater by suggestions that
Rortugal would be willing to sell Ango
la and possible Portugese Southeast
Africa. The working out of such a Ger
man belt across Africa would be espe
cially serious to Great Britain. Brit
ain's control centers largely in Egypt
and to the south of it through Central
Africa and in South Africa and along
the east coast. Britain's great idea has
been to tie it all up with the empire by
the construction of the Cape-to-Cairo
railroad.
The Kamerun affair and the kaiser’s
interjection of German interests and
threatening guns into the control of Mo
rocco, all are recent history and are re
membered. If Germany should be de
feated in the present war there is no
doubt that one of the things which
France would take would be the last
inch of Morocco, which was denied by
the kaiser’s threatening to plunge all
Europe into war. She would blot the
German mup out of Africa north of the
equator, and Great Britain, or possibly
Great Britain and France, would take
all the German possessions south of the
equator.
On the other hand, if Germany is the
winner, France’s great African empire
will be cut seriously, and if the British
licet is humbled, or Great Britain loses
prestige to any great extent, there will
\ be a new recasting of the map of Afri
ca. Probably South Africa, now organ
ized into a country under the British
flag, a great deal like Canada, might
I keep out of the reshaping of Africa,
■ but certainly the German colors will go
I on in a large part of Africa and its in-
1 tluence will be great all over the south
ern half. It remains to be seen yet how
Egypt would fare. If the defeat, so far
as Great Britain is concerned, were de-
! cisive, it is certain that the Suez ca
nal's control would be before the world
again, as it was in the days of Disraeli.
German investments in African colo
nial enterprises are approximately
8490,000,000, and these African colonies,
largely because they are not connected,
have not, thus far. been a success.
Such men as Rowell are inclined to
place France above Great Britain in
beneficial results in Africa, and supe
rior colonization. Rowell summarizes
the operations of the three peoples there
by saying that the first thing the En
glish do on taking a new African colony
is to open a new customs house; the
first thing the Germans do is to build
barracks, and the first thing the French
do is to build railroads and wells. As a
result the French have even made Tim-
buctoo a railroad junction and have
, made the desert around it bloom.
Another superiority of the French in
(Africa is that they have made the na
tives part of the empire. As Powell
predicted in hie book, French African
troops are now meeting the Germans in
Alsace. “France,” says Rowell, "has
accomplished in Africa what no other
colonizing power has done in Africa or
any other black man's country. She
has made Frenchmen of her subject
peoples. The Egyptian fellah may re
spect his British master, hut he does
not love him. The black man both
fears and detests the ruler who wears
the spiked helmet.”
War Isn’t Worrying Him.
Cotumbun Enquir«*r-Sun.
"No, the war in Europe isn't giving
me any moments of anxiety, except for
humanity’s sake. Personally, I shall be
affected but little. Why? Because I
am prepared for the emergency the war
is creating. I am a farmer. I live on
my farm. I raise practically every
thing I need on my farm. My wagons
go loaded from my farm to the city
instead of returning from the city with
their loads.
“I still have sufficient corn in my
crib to last me until the present crop is
gathered, and my corn crop this year
will be more than I shall need until an
other crop is made. I still have in my
smokehouse enough meat to last until
hog-killing time comes, even if it should
be delayed until after Christmas. I
have a little rice still on hand that I
grew on my farm; and I also have some
wheat that I can sell or exchange for
flour. My syrup has not been con
sumed and my cane crop promises to
yield more than I shall need for another
twelve months. I have sufficient oats
to last until another crop is made. I
have enough hogs to make all the meat
that I shall need another year. There
are cattle enough on my farm for me
to be able to kill a beef once in a while
and have some to divide with my
friends and neighbors.
“Of course, I have not made any su
gar and coffee, nor black pepper, nor
any of those things, and I like my cof
fee and tea, hut I shall not worry on
account of the advance in the prices of
these commodities, because I shall be
able to exchange some of the surplus
crops I have for what I shall want of
these. I have all the chickens, turkeys,
guineas, ducks, geese, and other fowls
that are usually found on the farm.
And I have as fine a garden as you ever
saw.
“So, you see, I shall not need to
worry so much about the advance in
the price of provisions. As to clothing,
while my wardrobe is not as full as
that of one of the foreign rulers, who,
it is said, has sixty-seven uniforms, I
shall not suffer for raiment for some
time to come. Therefore, personally
speaking, 1 can view with comparative
c imposure the struggle for supremacy
between the nations of Europe.”
No, this isn’t a real interview. No
one said it, in fact. It is merely a fic
tion.
And yet, why should not practically
every farmer in Georgia, every one in
the South, be in a position to say just
what has been placed within quotation
marks at the beginning of this article?
Why not, indeed?
With the climatic conditions that pre
vail in this section, with the fertility
and productiveness of the soil, with the
splendid seasons that we have, and with
everything in nature conspiring to
make this the best section on the globe,
there isn’t any reason in the world why
every farmer, or practically every one,
should not be able to say that the con
flict in Europe isn’t giving him any
anxiety as to his individual welfare.
All the crops enumerated may be
grown in this State and in every other
Southern State. Proper effort only is
needed to demonstrate the fact. There
are some farmers in our section who
can come very near, if not quite, to
saying what has been quoted. There
are some upon whom the war will have
little effect even if pork should go to
fifty cents a pound, and other things in
proportion. But this number is ex
ceedingly small.
An Indictment of Civilization.
New York World.
In Vienna there is a doddering old
man, the offspring of a tainted house,
who sits on the throne of the dual em
pire.
In St. Petersburg there is a weak,
well-meaning neurotic, who by the ac
cident of birth happens to be the Czar
of all the Russias.
In Berlin there is a brilliant, talented,
ambitious manipulator of politics, who
is German Emperor by grace of the
genius of Bismarck, Moltke and Boon.
Of these three inen, only the one in
Berlin has more than mediocre abili
ties; yet the three are permitted to
play with the lives of millions of men,
with property worth thousands of mil
lions of dollars, with the commerce and
industry and prosperity and laws and
institutions not merely of empires and
kingdoms, but of continents. It is left
to them to determine whether the world
is to witness the most deadly and de
vastating war of all history.
The thing would be laughable, ridicu
lous, if it were not ghastly.
War of itself may be wise or unwise,
just or unjust; but that the issue of a
world-wide war should rest in the hands
of three men—any three men—and that
hundreds of millions who will bear the
burden and be affected in every rela
tion of life by the outcome of such a
war should leave the decision to these
three men, is an indictment of civiliza
tion itself.
Human progress is slow indeed when
a whole continent is still ready to fight
for anything except the right to life,
liberty and self-government.

Staggering Figures.
Mr. Bryan’s twenty treaties with lit
tle kingdoms and republics seem pathet
ically inadequate indeed, now that the
great nations that rejected the proposi
tion are filling a continent with armed
strife. It is estimated that about 82
per cent, of the population of Europe is
involved in war, and that 18,700,000
men may be called into action.

nations (includingItaly, which willprpb-
ably not be allowed to stand aloof), are

15 Great Results Made Easier by Using Cole One-Horse Grain Drill
You get your grain sowed early In cotton and corn fields.
You save seven-eiKhths of the labor required to break land and sow grain.
You get a larger yield and a sure crop. No winter-killed grain.
You get two crops from land that has been producing only one.
Having been sowed early In the fall you get grain off early and follow with peas or corn.
The peas gather nitrogen from the air worth many dollars per acre and also add more
humus to your soil. . . , , , .
Peas come off the land in time to do deep plowing at right time, late summer or early fall.
GET A COLE DRILL and follow out this plan of farming and rotation of crops and in a
short time you should be making more cotton and corn on half your land than you are now
making by cultivating all of it In these crops.
Be sure to get the genuine Cole Drill. Do not let anyone put off on you any of the cheap
ly made and fraudulent imiUtioas.
