Saloniki, Oct. 25.-The war which
General Sarrail is conducting on the
military front here is not the only
warfare going on in this part of the
world. Among the diplomats and of-
ficials who circulate between here,
Athens, Paris, Rome and London, it
is recognized that there is another
and a larger struggle in progress than
the one on the front, as it involves the
commercial and economic suprem-
acy of the Mediterranean and its great
ports-Marseilles, Genoa, Triest and
Saloniki, as against the supremacy of
the North Sea and its great commer-
cial cities, Hamburg and Bremen.
To the United States this struggle
is said to have a special interest, for
the Mediterranean is but an extension
or arm of the Atlantic through which
the United States can take part in the
future commerce of the Mediterranean
basin, including southern Europe
northern Africa and western Asia.
Until the war began the North Sea
and its ports had established undis-
puted supremacy in the "commercial
penetration" of Europe. It was the
distributing point not only for north-
ern Europe, but also for southern Eu-
rope. The Mediterranean had almost
ceased to be an avenue of supply for
its own section of southern Europe.
It is to reverse this domination of
the North Sea and its ports, and re
store the supremacy of the Mediterr-
anean basin, that this economic strug-
gle is now going on all the way from
Saloniki to Calais.
The part the four great Mediterran-
ean cities have taken in this struggle
will come out more fully after the
war. It will then be disclosed that
one of the main causes for Italy's en-
tering the war was to throw off the
domination which the North Sea cit-
ies had secured over Italy's Mediterr-
anean ports, Genoa and Naples.
The other Mediterranean cities have
had the same experience in falling un-
der domination from the North Sea.
Marseilles was the natural distribut-
ing point for most of southwestern
Europe. Saloniki was the natural em-
porium of the Balkans and all south-
eastern Europe up to the Danube.
Saloniki counts its decline largely
from this fact: Triest, being an Aus-
trian city, has shared in the advantag-
es of the North Sea rule, but always
as an auxiliary of the north, whereas
it is part of this economic struggle to
make Triest an open port for all the
world, an essentially Mediterranean
city instead of an adjunct to the North
Sea.
The "45th parallel" is another ex-
pressive term used in this commer-
cial strugle. It is the east and west
highway of commerce through Enten-
te territory across Europe. It seems
also, to be a sort of commercial belt
around the world. It crosses Europe
east and west from Bordeaux, Lyons,
Milan, Belgrade, Odessa and runs close
alongside the Mediterranean from
east to west, giving land and water
routes side by side.
The struggle to restore the Mediter-
ranean basin to its rights and throw
off the domination of the North Sea
ports, explains the long and tenacious
stand General Sarrail's forces are
making on this Saloniki front. The
strictly military part of their func-
tions is considerable, but aside from
these military ends, the Entente forces
along this Saloniki front are felt to
have a larger function, to maintain the
Entente foothold on the eastern Med-
iterranean until the whole Mediter-
ranean basin is free from the domin-
ation of the north.
Some military critics have asked for
the recall of the Saloniki expedition,
on the ground that the many military
divisions here could be used for the
final blow on the western front. But
it can be set down as certain, based on
the judgment of those in highest au-
thority, that this will not be done, for
there is a larger purpose than the one
on the military fronts-the control of
the Mediterranean.

The Comedy club proposes to pro-
duee "Miss Hobbs" by Jerome K. Jer-
ome sometime before the: holidays if
it is feasible. The entire cast for the
play will be selected from the mem-
bers of the club. Those who succeed
in Saturday's tryouts will be eligible
to the later tryouts for the cast.
There is a dearth of men in the
membership of the club. There are
five good roles for men in "Miss
Hobbs." It is the aim of the club to
take up its functions with a renewed
activity and vigor. A number of pro-
grams and sketches will likely be
presented in the course of the year to
contribute to the Red Cross and army

Twenty-five foresters and a number
of the forestry faculty were present
at the first camp-fire dinner of the year
held at the forestry farm Wednesday
evening. A meal, prepared over a
large fire, was greatly enjoyed by all
who attended. After the meal inform-
al speeches were given by various,
students and instructors.
At a meeting on October 10, K. H.
Case, '18, was elected president. 'Or-
dinarily officers are elected in the
spring, but owing to the unsettled
conditions of last spring it was decid-
ed to lay the matter over until this
semester.
Announcement was made that all
foresters who have been at Camp
Davis may attend the Camp Davis din-
ner to be held at 6:15 on Friday at the
Union. Any who expect to be there
should call M. P. Adams, 18E, (at
1680-J.
FORESTERS HOLD ANNUAL
CAMP NIGHT CELEBRATION
Students and faculty of the forest-
ry department held their annual Camp
Night celebration Wednesday night at
the forestry farm, four miles west of
Ann Arbor. The foresters left the Un
iversity at about five o'clock and after
reaching the farm, built several camp
fires and roasted steak and potatoes.
Following "eats" a circle was formed,
around one large fire and songs and
speeches followed until late in the ev-
ening, when the party returned.
Camp Night is generally held during
full moon, but on account of the
weather was held later than usual
this year.
GOVERNMENT TO STAMP OUT
OVERCHARGING OF RETAILERS
Wholesalers who overcharge retail
grocers, especially for sugar and flour,
are to feel the full power of the United
States food administration, according
to Harry A. Wheeler, Mr. Hoover's rep-
resentative for Illinois. t
"If the wholesale grocer has flour
or sugar and refuses to sell to the
retailer at the prices agreed upon the
food administration will take imme-
diate steps to bring him to time," said
Mr. Wheeler.
The sugar condition in Ann Arbor as
well as in Chicago is a serious prob-
lem. Already the grocers in this city
have refused to sell more than a limit-
ed amount to each customer. Theepos-
sibility of buying sugar from the
wholesaler is uncertain and Ann Ar-
bor is liable to be sugarless in a few.
