ROUTE THROUGH BLKANS
LINE WILL LINK LONDON WITH
FAR EAST THROUGH
SERBIA
Athens, Oct. 29.-A new trans-Eu-
ropean route linking London and Paris
with the Balkans and the Orient, as a
counter-project to the German plan1
linking Berlin, Vienna, and Budapest
with Constantinople and the Orient, is
one of the developments of the war1
which is now being worked out ini
much detail. It is a leading feature
of the plan to rehabilitate Serbia by
making her the nucleus of a great con-
federation of the Balkan Slav com-
munities - Serbs, Croats, Slovenes,
Dalmatians, Bosnians-for the natural
highway of the entente powers to the
Orient lies directly through this pro-
posed new southern Slav state.
It remained for the present war to
make plain-for the first time that the
natural route across the Balkans to
the Orient was not the one chosen by
the Germans, running north and south,
but the old route used from time im-
memorial running almost east and
west across this country of the Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes. The German
route has been laid out purely for
purposes of imperial expansion, link-
ing Berlin-Vienna-Budapest-Belgrade-
Sofia-Constantinople and the Orient
beyond. But the experience of the
Balkans had shown this was entirely
an artificial route, which ignored the
formation of the country, and that the
natural highway was the same today
as it was ages ago when used by the
ancients.
Natural Route
This natural route is as clearly de-
fined today as it was in the old mi-
grations. But it has the added ad-
vantage today that i is a link, or ex-
tension, of a larger trunk line running
across the entente countries of west-
ern Europe, and making a continuous
chain from London, Paris, and Milan,
the great industrial center of Italy,
lcross the Balkans to Belgrade, Nish,
Saloniki, and Constantinople. It is the
Balkan link, however, which forms the
entirely now feature of this route,
with advantages contrasting sharply
with the artificial north and south
route.
The old route, now revived as the
natural channel of entente expansion,
follows the course of the river Save,
which forms a great valley running
across the Balkans, with a level and
almost straight way from a point near
Gorizia, where the Italians are now
fighting, eastward to Belgrade where
the river Save joins the Danube. The
pass through the Julian Alps at the
head of the Adriatic is made along the
river Wippach. Thus a natural and
level route is formed from the eastern
frontier of Italy due east, across the
Balkans to Belgrade, and thence south
to Nish, Saloniki and Constantinople.
Must Close Gaps
Railroads run along most of this
route, but there are several breaksin
the Balkan stretch, and there has
never been any effort to unite them
into one trans-European route. Now,
however, that the entente powers of
western Europe feel the spur of Ger-
many's systematic extension through
the Balkans to the Orient, the impor-
tance of this route, as a counterpoise
to the German plan, has just been
realized.
With the links completed and
brought together into a working
whole, like the Orient express which
runs from western Europe through
Berlin, Vienna and Budapest to Bel-
grade, it is estimated that the trip
from London to Belgrade could be
made in 40 hours, as against 45 hours
by the Orient express; and from Paris
to Belgrade in 30 hours as against 35
hours by the Orient express.
The proposed new state of the Serbs,,
Croats and Slovenes is thus given a
new importance in offering to the rest
of Europe a natural highway through
the Balkans to the Orient. But it has
an added interest to the high officials
and diplomats here in the Balkans and
at entento capitals, in being a thor-.
oughly practical and natural means of
Offsetting the Berlin-Bagdad route
southward across middle Europe. In-
stead of "Berlin to Bagdad" is now
GOERNMENT HAS NO
INTENTION SIEZING FOOD
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR KNOCKS
IDEA HELD BY
MANY
With the opening of the state food
conservation campaign yesterday
morning Food Administrator Prescott
flatly denied the rumor that the gov-
ernment was about to swoop down on
the canned goods stored up by the
thrifty housewives during the past
summer.
This rumor, which had spread over
a large section of the state, will prob-
ably prove a serious handicap during
the campaign unless removed imme-
diately. It is presumed at state head-
quarters that the rumor arose from
statements from Washington to the ef-
fect that overloaded coal cellars
might be tapped by the fuel adminis-
trator. All women on house to house
crusades are authorized to deny this
false report.
A report that food is being wasted at
Camp Custer has been circulated and
has had a dampening effect on the
launching of the new campaign, but
these misconceptions will be explain-
ed by the officers at Battle Creek it
is thought.
Regarding the false rumor on canned
goods Food Administrator Prescott
said, "I want to deny a rumor which
it seems has been generally circulated
lately to the effect that the food ad-
ministration intended to commandeer
food supplies stored in private, cel-
lars.
"This is entirely erroneous and mis-
leading. The food administration, un-
der Director Hoover, has been for
months besieging housewives of Mich-
igan to conserve by canning all pro-
ducts that in the past have been wast-
ed. It was with the idea that the
families would have a stock upon
which to rely this winter, and certain-
ly not with the idea that the govern-
ment would eventually take that
stock."
presented "Bordeaux to Bagdad," with
the line oi commercial penetration
running eastward across entente Eu-
rope instead of southward across Ger-
manic Europe.

Serbian prisoners in Austria has
shown a marked change for the better
this summer, according to reports re-

This change, it is stated, is ac-

and the restoration of Serbia.
The largest military flagstaff in the
country, 207 feet long and weighing
seven tons has been put in place in

"Pardon me, but I am a reporter
from The Michigan Daily."
You lift your head from the midst
of your labors, but your spirits for
some vague reason do not rise in a
like manner. Truly that statement
sounds familiar, as the same words,
spoken with the same enlightening in-
flection, have at some former date dis-
turbed your tranquility. It is only
the quality of the voice which differs-
this one is feminine. And as your
mind clears and memory re-asserts
its self, you agree with the opening
statement that the intruder should beg
to be pardoned.
In answer to the significant pause
which follows, you abandon any idea
of producing a freeze-out and surren-
der your undivided attention. Catch-
nig your breath, you prepare to tune
up for the forthcoming bombardment,
while this interesting representative
of an obviously impressive organiza-
tion, proceeds to deposit a knitting
bag on that pile of papers resultant
from a week's labor; leans a dripping
umbrella against your desk's polish-
ed surface; and after a search through
the complications of her sweater, jack-
et, and raincoat, triumphantly pro-
duces a very business like volume; and
accepting the kindly offer of your re-
maining chair, gets down to business.
It is when you are tenderly re-as-
sorting your irreverently handled
manuscript, mopping off the desk and
carpet and gazing dolefully at the sub-
stituted fountain pen, that the door
again opens and a sweet voice gushes
effusively-
"Pardon me, professor, but would
you prefer that your hair be considered
aw
reddish gray or just brown? And
have you ever had anything to do with
any person who was especially prom-
inent?"
Yet you furtively scan the columns
of The Daily for the next few days,
and you wonder just what was the
idea of sending that reporter.
