Sal?nica?Is It To Be Corunna

Por all miiYiiry observei
in the Balkan baa already re
parallel of the Peninauler War, and I
operations about Sal?nica raise
ting questions: Is this city to f-""'
a Corunna, or will the Anglo-French fo
?af aiilc i" dran before it such lines
Wellington drew at Torrea Vedra beft
Lisbon? In all respecta the situation l?
in Europe and hi the Immediate peninai
thai of the ca
tween 1808 and 1810.
- back to the Napoleonic epiao
il will bt recalled that the year 18
san the great. Emperor actually at t
.summit of his power, although his fo
;n,e- wt r< to continue favorable I
several year? to come, ?le hail w
Auaterlitz in 1805, ?lena in 1806, Frie

Prussia and Russia. \t the Peace
Tilsit, in 1807, his supremacy in Weste
tnowledged by his on
possible opponent, the ?';:;:'; of all b
enemies only Great Britain remain?
formidable.
In 1808 the British, having failed in
number of expeditions, sent an army
Portugal, whirh eras successful in effectir
a landing and in driving Junot out of tl
Bragansa Kingdom. To meet this men?t
?Napoleon crossed the Pyrenees with h
victorious armies and his most famoi
marshals, swept before him ihe Spams
resistance, entered .Madrid, where he mat
his brother Kintr of Spain. At this poil
the Austrian situation began to worse)
anil he was obliged to return to Paris t
organize the operation which ended in th
great triumph at Wagram ? yea: late
In Spain he left, or subsequently ser
there. Massena, Marmont. Soult and othf
less distinguished generals and marshal
It fell to the part of Soult to operat
against the British, and lie took the fiel
against Sir .lohn Moore, whoac little arm
bail crossed the Spanish boundary. B
rapid retreat Sir John Moore reached th
coast at Corunna and saved his at my b
putting them on transport-. He wa
killed in the operation. The result c
this campaign was to ?cave the Irene
masters of Spain, save only for Cadi
ami Gibraltar. There remained in Portu
gal only a small British army near I.isboi
1'? :' at this point Soult failed to act witl
promptitude, possibly, as some historian
allege, because he wa- negotiating for th
Portuguese crown. In consequence, tti
British had time to reorganise, and Well
ington returned to command the army h
had headed against Junot. Defeating
Soult at Talavera, he pushed him out o
Portugal ami entered Spain.
But Napoleon had now won Wagian
and was able to send new troops to Spain
Hi^ great marshal, Mass?na, hastenet

which Wellington had to retreat, as th<
Anglo-British expedition is now retreating
Driven out of Spain, Wellington ?mail*
took up his position before Lisbon on t ht
narrow peninsula between the Tagii- am
the sea. a position strongly recalling th<
? 'batalla lines before Constantinople
Here Ma ? na was checked, and aftci
Wasting many months befor-' these lines
which could not be stormed, be n
into Spain. Subsequently, sa he Mo con
campaign developed, Napoleon was com
pellet! to recai' troop I nun Spain, a.id at
his Spanish armies decreased in number
the British took tii? offensive ami begai
the campaign which ended with the Battit
. oulouae in i i anee, battle fought
after Napoleon had abdicated.
When the British returned to Spain tht
??.hole country ie.-c in rebellion against
! rench, and Napoleon was con frente;
it of the several national up
. - which r-uined him. Now it ii pei
fectly clear that what ihe British am!
French have in mind at present is to turn
Sal?nica into another Lisbon, and the hill.?

the standards are bring rapidly lowered.
In addition it is n?"-**ss8ry for the ??

The main thing from the Allied point o'
view is to multiply th? point? of friction
for the Gonnans, because the German
numbers are m-cessai iiy inferi?) to thoSi
of their opponents and their reierv)
less numerous. Sorai time ;t is likely th.v.
-.. bal happened in Spain a ill 1 appen I
the Balkans, and the Kaiaar will havi tn
call back his Balkan masses to help him in
Sensive in Rui lia or a defensive In
France. When this happens i: will re
base 'he Allied army ;it Sal?nica and
there aril! be ai instant decline in Gorman
? [gs in thi Balkans.
The chief concern for the Germans
? 'ihe the Allies out of the Balkan?. altO*
.ether. Ii they take Sal?nica ihrre i? no
point, at which the Allies can make n
really dangerous landing, because of the
character of th?* country. Sal?nica is the
gateway to the Balkans and the one bar?
bor that offers a base for large flee
has any measure of ducking faciiiti?*?-. h
if. the entre of the three great railroads,
t ?i. which mu.-; plaj an Important part ?r
any future Allied advance. If the A
are driven out, then Greek territory can
Ih evacuate'!. Bulgaria can garrison Ser?
bia and some hundreds of thooaands of
Germani and Austrian? will he relea ?cd
tor service else?.', hen.
The whole military faith of the Alliai il
exprossed in the belief that the German
resources in men and money are begin?
ii'ng to fail, and that in some months it is
f.;ning to he difficult for the Cermans to
tind numbers sufficient to hold all the
fronts. Then the German wave will begin
to recede as did the Napoleonic after Mm
COW, ?Superior numbers will tell the story,
and a recession at any point will release
subject populations, for Germany ii now
it side hostile boundaries on all sides. Bel?
gium, Poland, Serbia will rise to any tier
n,an withdrawal, as did Spain and Prussia
a century ago. Greece and Rumania will
probably enlist, if German defeat seems to
le assured by any considerable retrograde
rovement.
In the present phase of the Great War
it is essential to recall the Napoleonic par?
allels because Germanyseemi now, m far
; any one can judge, quite in the position
? f Prance when the Emperor had won his
greatest triumphs and was already In-gin?
ning to Buffer from the gradual decline in
?M Material Of his armies and Franc was
slowly beginning to manifest a weariness
<>r war which no field glory could ??uit??
satisfy. This is what makes the Sal?nica
episode Of utmost interest to the whole
world. With all the failure of the Allies
i*i this field up to the pr?sent moment
there il nothing that makes th?*ir position
more desperate than thai of the British
in Portugal in 1809 and 1810, and than ii
much in Europe tha; suggests that they

candidate.
If I were a most confirmed free trader. 0
if I still harbored thoughts of II to I. or 1
I had been, and now am, a most rabid reac

! to promote the election of a strong mai
[during the coming campai en. Arid in m 3
1 mow there is no one statesman to-day ii
America stronger than our former Proel
dent, Mr. RoOSOTOlt. The impression abroaf
undoubtedly If that this government will no
follow Mr. W lhon, but no such impi
would prevail in the event of the electiol
of Mr. Roosevelt, whose very probable elec
I tion would doubtless awaken -om mi
quietude in the governmental circles of Bu

the warring chancelleries to which this cour
J try is entitled.
I believe you are performing a noble (asl
in preaching preparedness, in properly cnti
rising Mr. Wilson's vacillation in foreign af
fairs Bnd in supporting the cause of the Al?
lies, not because of any sentimental reasons
ontimentnl affection for the Allies ? althougl

How unfortunate that at a time such as
this, when the I'nited States, ?rith Such ?*
