BECOMES THREATENING
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 18 —
David B. Macgowan, United States
consul at Moscow, Russia, sends
to the Department of Commerce a
report on the Russian fuel crisis.
This became marked in 1916 and
has grown acute this year. The
consul says:
"It is aggravated by the deterior
ation of the railway locomotive.;,
which causes them to require a
constantly increasing share of th?
fuel available for industrial pur
poses. The railways and the navy
now require -30 per cent, and this
proportion is expect 3d to he in
creased steadily until the railways
are bettered.
In addition, 39,000,000 short tons
of wood are required, according
to the estimate of Prof K. V. Kirsch
who is serving the temporary ge-v
er iment as a specialist in this field.
A plan if campaign, production,
transportation and distribution is
worked cut in some detail with re
spect to the close of navigation and
other factors1.
As to wood, for example, it is
estimated that 500,000 laborers
have to be organized, transported
to the forest zone and fed and
otherwise cared for.
Actually the wood chopping has i
.0 be done about a year ahead of
:he consumption, so that measures
jndertaken now would make them
selves felt, a^ far as wood is con
cerned .mainly in ihe winter of
1918-1919 . Until the present fuel
>urvey less than the necessary
:hought has been taken to organize
:he equipment a”d the men needed
.0 accomplish in war time what
vas done automatically in peace
dme.
Assuming that all pos ible meas
ures are taken at the proper time,
:lie expert finds that There still ie
nains a deficit of 20 per ce it of the
country’s total demand-. 1
Considering the necessity t'cr pro
viding the railways with fuel first
of all, the conclusion is drawn that
a third of the factory equipment
of Russia must lie idle in the com
ing months, or if all factories
should share equally in the distri
bution of fuel all would work only
eight monthu: of this year instead
of twelve.
The only means of mitigating
the effects of the fuel famine, in
the opinion of Professor Kirscli, is
to organize a special fuel depart
ment at once and to endow it with
all the powers cl' government."
ATHENS, Nov. 17.—If the Turk
Is to leave Europe, as the entente
allies have required in their war
terms, then there is a well-defined
belief in the Balkan,? that two re
sults will occur of high importance
to Greece and all Europe:
First—That the Greek inevitably
will succeed the Turk throughout
Thrace and in the whole region
down to the Dardanelles and the
Bosphorus.
Second—That a new zone of ter
ritory friendly to the entente will
thus be stretched horizontally
straight across the Balkans, as a
barrier to (he German highroad to
the Orient.
Prof. Andreade, of the University
of Athens, one of the foretiost au
theriiies on international affairs re
lating tc the Ealkans, holds this
view, and in the course of a talk
today he explained how these two
results would naturally come about
in the final peace adjustment, by
reason cf the principle of rational
ities now accepted by the entente
alliei,- as a basis for territorial re
adjustment.
Prof. Andreade, who is a special
ist on the extent of Greek citizen
ship beyond the Greek frontiers—
in Macedonia and the other Bal
kars, in Turkey, Syria and Asia
Minor—pointed out the great pre
dominance of the Greeks in the re
gions to be evacuated by the Turks
if they are to leave Europe.

Polet’s Stores
of Adrianople, extending from the 1
Balkans down to Constantinople,'
he declared, is as much Greek as
it is Turk and with 'he Turkic out j
it is practically all Greek. “Even
Constantinople,” he said, "is a
Greek city—the largest of Greek
cities—with a population of 350,
000 Greeks. That gives an idea of
the extent of Greek citizenship in
all this section down to the straits
which will have to be considered, on
the basis of nationality and race,
when the Turk leaves Europe.
'That is why I say,” added Prof.
Andreade, 'that if the Turk is to
withdraw, the principle of national
ity which recognizes the racial con
dition of a comumnity, will lead to
the recognition of Greek paramount
influence in that section. Thus far
the principle of nationality has
been ignored and violated in all
Balkan settlements, and force has
prevailed. Austria and Bulgaria
have not occupied any of the terri
tory annexed in recent yearn by rea

sor. that their race or nationality
prevailed in these sections but sole
ly by reason of their military force.
That has been the cause of the end
leaf; wars ir. the Balkans for people
are never satisfied when their race
i- ignored and they are attached
to a foreign conqueror by force.”
Prof. Andreade referring to the
Balkan map, showed how the re
adjustment of Balkan boundaries,
based on nationalities, would inter
pose two barriers to Germanic ex
pansion, toward Asia Minor and the
Orient, one the Greek zone across
Thrace and another the Serb-Itu
manian link is only fifty miles
acres,; and lies between Hungary
and Bulgaria.
“And thus entente Europe can
aceomplish what it chiefly seeks in
the Balkans,” said Prof. Andreade,
“friendly entente zones intercept
ing the natural route of Germanic
expansion to ward the Orient, and
this can be accomplished, not by
force, but by the principle of na
tionality now accepted by the en
tente powers.”
