p0 S HERO.'
OF THE EAST
ALLENBY'S EXPLOITS OBSCURED
BI: VICTORY
Mighty Events on Western Front
Distracted Attention From Am -
azing Feats in Palestine.
At any other time General. Allen-
by's victories in Palestine and •Syria
would have made him the, most fam
• ous man of his day, says the military
r ri.tic of the London Times.
So ccmplete was his victory in the
Plain of Esdraelon that after' it his
advance' to Desnascus and Aleppo was
obvic iisly ccriditioned, not by any re-
"sn t<:nce that the Turks could offer,
bet solely by the 'success with which
tine difficulties of 'transport'could,be
overc''rlc ` The result is that every-
thing .that; General Allenby lies. since
done has been taken .for "granted, and
the press of more tremendous events
elsewh&re has prevented his exploits
from being estimated at their real
tie.
There one two main routes hct`veen
Asia Minor (which really -belongs to
the European system of. geography)
and Asia proper; one alongthe shores
of the Black Sea, to which. belong
Teebizoind, Erzerum,,. and the . routes
through .northern Armenia into Per -
the other along- ; ,.the southern
shores of Asia Minor, through the
gates of Silicia into Syria and Meso-
'rpetarnia. The occupation of Alex-
`iti.dretta would -mean that we had de-
finitely crossed -the pass between the
Asiatic Empire of -Turkey and its
Eurorean.extension.'
The tide of conquest (in` this case
eve ought rather to say of liberation)
has usually flowed the other way; but
General Allenby has taken his place
in the long roll .of generals whose ex-
ploits have been -transfigured by the
romance of the,East. Alexander the
Great was riot the best soldier -of
antiquity, but his campaigns-have''un-
aoubtedly firedethe 'imagination of
more ferreous, soldiers than any other
campaign in history. • ;,

front. Truly we live in the daysof
the heroes.
Policy in East Defined.
There is room for a clearer state-
Tient that has yet been attempted of
the problems of defence in the East,
and, above all, it _ is necessary that
the identity of our interests as an
Asiatic power with the cause: of lib-
erty should be vindicated. The tyran-
ny which a phrase like imperialism
can exercise, even over noble minds,
needs very careful exorcising, for on
that depends true appreciation of the
true ends of British policy in the East.
Briefly, these ';ends are twofold.' In
the -first place, t e` desire to maintain
our old policy` of Setting up buffer
States „between possible 'enemies and.
our Indian empire. This buffer, state
in the past was 7turkey, but Turkey
hasproved her- unfitness, after, long
and patient -trial, to fulfill what was
her true role in the East. ; She can
never again be trusted as an imperial
power, though it is to be hoped that
there may be a future for her in the
partsr;of Asia which: are still mainly
inhabited by people of Turkish,race.
Secondly,:iin place of the old.Turk
sh •oiiligarchy we :propose: to set .up"
'an Asiatic: Balkans, consisting of a
"new: Jewish. State in Palestine, a new
Arabia, an autonomous Armenia,' and
a revivified Persia.' Our system "'of
buffer' States is no longer to rest on
alien misrule of a magnificent estate,
but on the creation of a number of
new States, each: renewing its ancient'
and opressed patriotism in the fires
of this world -war. Very imperfect
justice has as yet been done to the
grandeur of this political reconstruc-
tion even in this country; in other
countries, and especially in America,
its elements are hardly yet grasped
evenby those who, if our policy were
better understood, wouldfeel the
warmest sympathy towards jt.
Conditions of Success.
What are the conditions of success
in the new experiment that we are
making? They are these:
First, • there 'must be an end of
Turkish rule: under any forum in the
provinces of Arabia, `of' Palestine,
Armenia, and Mesopotamia. If we
are creating new Slates in 'which -the
experiment of freedom is to be'"tried,
let us do boldly,
it and have done
'
once for all 'with' the old policy of
relying on T•urkey. Oil and water will
not - mix. By no ingenuity. can we
reconcile the ,philo-Turk traditions
with the new policy of reconstruction
in file Near ''East.
Secondly, more work needs to be
done on the diff=icult problem, which
has troubled 'thousands of - years df
statesmen, ' of the delimitation of
.frontiers. Whatever political solu-
tion is reached, the idea of a condo-
minium must be definitely . rejected.
If we are setting up `a 'Jewish State
in Palestine, let us do it whole-heart-
edly, in reference alike to the histor-
ical past of the Jews in ;Palestine
and of the problems of the future de-
fence of the country. Onsuch ques-
tions as "these, •which are partly mili-
tary, -partly political, there is no one.
who can speak with such authority
as General,;,,:Allenby, and he Should
certainly be given . a voice in „ their
settlement. Similarly with regard to
Armenia and'�1Vlesopotaniia, no one is
more competent' to speak on these
mixed questions of politics and stra-
tegy than those who have taken a
part in the direction of the Meso -
potential' campaign. i
One's only :fear with regard to the
East is that future settlement should
depend on accidental and extraneous
political circumstances. Those'' who
have made history in the past and
present should make it in the future.
It is for the politicians to lay down ..
the general conditions—m this case
the great ideals of our settlement.
These slnou1d;''however, be interpret:ed.

tries, their geography, 'and all that

MINERAL WEALTH OF BALKANS
Peninsula Can ``;Become Immensely
Rich, Says Red Cross Worker.
The mineral deposits in the Balkans
are of such, extent that the Serbs,
Bulgarians, . Greeks and Roumanians
May
m y make .the. , peninsula immensely
rich after thewar if theY 'emit fight-
ing
i it-ingand settle down to business," says
a Red Cross worker who spent eight
months with the 'Allied ;armies:
"Why, the principal pastime oil a
lot of French soldiers there was wash-
ing out the gold from the river bot
toms. The mountains are rich in
coal, copper, zinc, lead; gold, silver,
iron and oil. This is particularly true
of the territory claimed by the Serbs..
Last winter the soldiers about Mon-
astir kept themselves warm by, dig-
ging coal. I saw one group of sol-
diers dig, holes two feet down and
strike a six-inch vein of coal, and on
digging further down they struck a
vein which did not give slut after a
depth of eighteen feet.
"In going about among the poor
families of the country I frequently
found them in possession of piece's of
almost pure gold. They' told Ire they
had. picked it up out of the beds of
nearby streams.
"Austria and Germany expected to
open up the East by their Bagdad
rail*ay and pick up the Baikan,wealth.
as they went along.
"The only way to settle the Balkan
Question seems to Inc along racial
lines, ine1•ing the Serbs an independ-
ent Ste ;e. I am of Serb origin my-
self and have studied the question.
The Serb State ought to have its
boundaries determined by a neutral
commission speaking the longtage:
and going cart'Cully over tiro mound:
if this is not clone, if the 'bouleh ies`'
are determined arbitrarily, there will
be more trouble.

Allies Lost" Many, Destroyers.
Attention has" , been directed so
r submarinelosses,that the
largely to
e, s
severe losses among destroyers have,,
not attracted much notice; but they
are heavy. Thus the destroyers of
all the allies lost from all causes.
during the four years of war are:
Grea.t.Britain, 58; France, 9; Italy; 5;
United States, 2, and Japan, 2. This
makes a total of,• the allies of 76.
During the sante period, Premier
Lloyd George tells, us, the Germans
lost -150 submarines, and. this is gen-
erally believed to be about equal to,
their present total force. The enemy
therefore has lost twice as many
units as have the allied destroyer`
forces that have teen` hunting him
do',wn. But the great superiority of
the hunter over the hunted is shown
by the :fact that while the Germans.
have lost 1510 U-boats ' out of three
htndred, the allies have only lost 76
destroyers out of more than one
thousand.
