MAIN ST. 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.

State St. Phone s44-M 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.

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. days. Lyndon's for Eastman Kodaks and Films.
