The Continental Times is proud to publitih the following bnltiant ,id thoughtful article by an F.nglishman, Mr. Arthur B. Yol iand, and its solc regret is that .t copy of it cannot be placed into the hands of every man and Avotnan in the ßritish Empire. R. h. Orchelle. . In August, 1911, the Britisli For (ign Minister, Sir Edward Grey. re solved to plunge Great Lritain and the ßritish Empire into the most terrible war the world has ever seen, The final step the füll consequenc'es ef which have at last become evident to Europc and the whole human race, carne as a surprise to everyone txcept the nnhappy few who- being initiated into the mysteries of Grey ceret diplomacy, have to bcar their j ehare of responsibility for the awful havoc and carnage wrought by the whirlwind of international hatred brought into play by , the heinous niiscalculation of an insignificant minonty of arm-chäir politicians, Why was the persectly loyal pro posal of Germany, communicated to itt Edward Grey by Ifnnce Lieh novsky before Mr. Asquith's notori- ou phihppic, branded by the latter a "infamous"? Why was it held back even from the Briti'sh Par- liament ßecause those imnediatcly responsible for the polky uf Great Hntam were convinced that a more i'avourable opportunity for the over- throw of Germany could not well be irnagined! Yes, this was the sole reason for tbe Intervention of Great Britain in a Conflict which was no concem of hers. The reason adduced by Grey the breach ot tielgian neutrality by Ger many wa a mere pretext, for, tnanks to tne aiplomatic machina' tiotit of the "Entente", a.coalition brought into being by Great Britain an an Instrument for the suttocation tf the German empire, the neutral ity of Belgium was already a.thitig of the past. The watchwords employed by the English, French and Russiati press to poputarise the cause of the "En tente" were chosen with a nice re prard for the peculiar Sympathie of the British public. Liberty , na- .nliv" lanfil trnnie" n'poa.ivj f w.-.,, V these and the deterniination to rid F.urope forever of the "nightinare of J'russian rnihtarisrn and to preserve the integrity of the Balkan states by overthrowing the "Gertnano-Magyar" hegemony which threatened to en gulf them. were the wills-o-the-wisp that enticed the flower of Lritain' manhood into the miry swamp of a bitter enmity and rancour a deplor able as they are nnreasonable. Never in the history of the Dritish Empire have the allurements of a momentary, unthinking oppurtuoisni induced British statesmen to take so f;ital a "Jeap in the dark." Had those responsible for the policy of the British Government realised that the cynically rash ventn- on which they were about to embark wa fraught with consequences so ter rihle and so fatal to the prestige of the Empire, they would -wrely have heiiuted.

It msütuted a can,tin for the ca ture of German trade. The tiinclly watchwords with which the British natio'i had been cajoicd into ap proval of the action of the Govem mcr.t were for tbe Moment forcot tcn. The naked coniniercialisni of the enterpnse was exposed to view. Unfortunately- however. the British public did not jrrasu the Situation The road leading to the sharables continued to he thronped bv stal wart youtbs. Britain failed to corn prehend that the rnillionaire had once more asserted hnnself. Was in vain that the ereat. Duxe-miiulpd Laureafe cried; Tho' many a light shall darken, and mauv shall wem For those that are crushed in the clash of tarrm Claims. Yet God s just wrath shall be wreakd on a giant liar"? Yes, for Britain today is in leaa-ue with the "giant liar," and the "lust of gain in the spint of Cain,: marenes reientiessiy towards its goal over the dcad bodies of the tlower ot British manhood. Made in German v" that is the key to the present struggle. The foreign policy of Great Britain has become the plaything of com ercialism: national intersts have been subordinated to the momentary interests of a Northcliffe or a Churchill.

Was the consciousness of the rot tenness of the social fabne in any way responsible for the final resolve of those who hesitated to plunge ineir country into ine tintathomable abyss of a Conflict as nnreasonable as it was unprovoked? Were they conscious of the anomal, of the social order prevailing in Great öntain? And the allianc with the "giant liar" has it so ' infected the British character with the poison of political miscrupulousness that the giory ot British manhood , driven to the shamblcs to conceal the festering sores of social injustice? Was this one of the subordinate aims pursued by those who re solved to plunge Europc into the Horrors ot a fratricidal warf The history of the world-conflict provoked by the short-sichted rash ness of an Opportunist Cabinct has yet to be writtetY but the questions i have asked must be answered now ociore it is too iate. i ne ans- wer must be aiven bv tlic oIv forum entitled thereto, the British public. If the answers are in the artirmative, the System rcsoonsible for the present critical Dosition nf tue untisft people must be sw-pt away. to make room for one whkh shall regard private interests as en- tirely subordinate to national wel fare. , '. The British statesmen who al- jowed their country to be plunged into the whirlpool of a strtiggle the consequences of which wbether re garded from the mors! or the pol itical point of view are incalculable, based their calculations on know- ledge which hat proved to be the most astounding ignorance. W have only Mo recall the boastful words not distinguished by any partictilar evidence of good taste nttered last August by the British Boancrges Mr. Winston Churchill. It must be admitted that Mr. I.lovd George and even Mr. Asquiih für nished an admirable chorus. We were told that the Russian "steam rolkr" would soon ckar the way for the allies to dictate ternis of peace to the vanquished Germans in Ber lin, th.t the poor "ramshacklp V.m. pire" (Austria-Hungary) would soon fall to pit -,. that the ,,.'. rnuin and iion-Magyar tlcmciit 01 this A t .

The poct goes further still; he saw the final cessation of the destructive jealousy of commercial privilege-monopoly, and the triumvh of national and populär interests over that ever-present canker gnaw- ig at the roots of the international brotherhood which was the essence of Our Saviour s teaching: That the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realin in awe. And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal Jaw. Is it to be mcrely a vision? Peoole of Great Britain, it depends on you! uemand tne truth, the whole truth. and nothing bnt the truth." The rest will be plam sailing. Arthur B. Yolland. (The Continental Times.) . :, . ' t 4i I i M . yi i i" t't i",'' ' i i I'" ''!' 1 t t,'t f ä !

Von der Jfonzo-Front wird be- richtet: Der Leiter de: Laibacher Erdbebenwarte, Landesichulinsvektor Belar, hat durch einen Erdbeben messer die Erschütterungen aufzeich nen lassen, die durch , das Artillerie- euer in den letzten Taaen der Gör- zer Schlacht hervorgerufen wurden. Es ergaben sich deutlich große Un terschiede nach dem Kaliber. So soll es im Bereich der Möglichkeit lie gen, die Kalibergröße und auch die Geschützanznhl der feindlichen Ättlllerie zu messen. Der seismo- graphische Beobachter nniß sich der feindlichen Artillerie aus 15 bis 20 Kilometer nähern und mit der eioe- nen Artillerie telephonisch verbunden ein, damit er die Auszeichnunaen des Erdbebenmessers kontrolliert. Einen olchen, für denFelddimft geeigneten 'Apparat hat Professor Belar herstel- len lafien, und d Nati? der Fron: wird es ermöglichen, zunächst ein reiches Material an Diagrammen zu gewinnen, deren Vergletchuna praktische Verwendung des seismo graphischen Beobachters bei der Feld- und Festungsartiller ermög- Iichen soll. Belar beschäftigt sich auch mit dem Problem eines Unterwasser , Bewa- chungsmelders, der, bei einer Hafen einfahrt angebracht, ein unbemerk- es Einschklchen von Unterseebooten verhindern könnte, da deren Propel lerwirkung den Seismographen in stürmische Bewegung versetzen wür- de.

Auch auf anderen Berufsgebieten können sich die Kriegs, blinden mit Erfolg betätiaen: so be reiten sich hier zwei Schüler höherer Lehranstalten, die im Kriege das Au- genlicht verloren haben, auf das Ab solutorium vor. um sich dann dem UniversitatZstudium widmen zu kön nen. Für manche Kriegsblinde dürf te sich die Ausbildung zum Masseur empfehlen, andere werden als Sprach lehrer Erfolg haben. Eine wichtige Frage ist die. ob alle Kriegsblinden, die im Felde den Willen zum Sieg hatten, nunmehr auch den Willen zur Arbeit, zum Um lernen, zu neuem Lebenskampf ha ben. Dazu ist ein gewaltiges Maß von Willensstärke und Ausdauer not wendig. Schädlich wirkt, wie Di rektor Schaidler im Jahresbericht der Landesblindenansialt ausführt, die oftmals zu weitgehende Verwöhnung der Kriegsblinden in den Lazaretten, wodurch siezu einer Unbeholfenhcit und Abhängigkeit erzogen werden, die für sie und ihre Umgebung unerträg lich wird. Nicht die Blindbeit an sich, sondern die große Unbeholfenheit, Hilflosigkeit und Abhängigkeit von anderen macht unglücklich. Auch niebt in der Enge von Asylen oder Verlor- gungsanftalten sollen die Kriegsblin den ihr Leben zubringen; in der Hei- mar, in oem rei e ihrer Lieben mö gen sie mit neuem Lebensmut an die Arbeit gehen und wieder zufriedene Menschen werden.

Von Abd el Wahab gegen Mitte dcS achtzehnten Jahrhunderts gegründet, eroberten ik. die sich von dem Koran loöae sagt hatten (nur Mohammed wurde als höchster Prophet verehrt) einen großen Teil Arabiens, wo sie. mit Al Ryad als Hauptstadt, ein eigenes Reich bildeten. Selbst Mekka und Medina waren durch die Wahabis den Türken, eine Zeit lang entrissen, bis diese, 1817, Arabien von den Eindringlingen gänzlich frei machten. 5ü:n zogen die Wahabis nach In dien; hier gelangten sie unter Füh rung eines merkwürdigen Schwär mers. Seid-Ahmad. bald zu großer Macht, und bereits 1823 gewannen sie zu Patga eine bedeutende Schlacht. In Indien sahen die Wahabis als Hauptaufgabe den Kampf gegen alle Andersgläubigen an. Namentlich die Herrschaft Großbritanniens erschien ihnen als der größte Feind des Islams. Als 1857 Bombay. Bengalen und Madras zu ei nem indischen Reiche untere bri tischer Herrschaft zusammenaefant werden sollten, begann das erbitterte dampfen der Wahabis yeaen Ena land, das eine Zeit lang noch von den Sikhs eine Unterstützung fand. Als am 8. Februar 1872 der Vize- konig von Indien. Graf Rickard S. B. Mayo der frühere konservative englische Minister von einem Wa habi ermordet wurde, nachdem die selte kurz vorher den Oberrichter Norman in Kalkutta aetötet Kalte. versuchte die Regierung den offenen Kampf gegen ihre schärfsten Feinde aus oriliWem oben. Im Laufe der letzten vierzig Jahre sind von England über 20 blutiae ??eldzLae gegen die Wahabis geführt worden. Ohne Erfolg. Kenner der indischen Verhältnisse versichern, daß die At tentate der letzten Jahre lediglich auf das Konto dieser Sekte zu setzen sind, und fg dürfte in der aeaenwärtiaen Zeit der heilige Krieg auf Indiens Boden nicht zum wenigsten durch die sanaliichen Wahabis eine Untnitüt. zung erfahren. Drahtlose TBrlegraphie im Kriege. Godtrey Jsaaks. der Direktor h,r Gesellschaft für drahtlose Telegra phie Marconi" in Lonon hat in der Jahresversammluna dieser Ke- sellschaft u. a. erklärt, da Deutsch- land als erste von allen Mächten die Wichtigkeit der drahtlosen Tele graphie erfaßt und mit unVergleich licher Tüchtigkeit Telefunken-Sta- tioncn in allen Kolonien errichtet habe. So habe Teuilchland am 4. Augu,l, am Tage der englischen Kriegserklärung an Deutschland, nachmittags gegen 5 Uhr, an alle inne orayttosen Stationen eine Depesche folgenden Inhalts ge sandt: England hat uns den Krieg erklärt. Versucht so schnell wie möglich, in einen- neutralen Hafen zu kommen." Dieser Funkfpruch wurde sofort von allen Stationen in den Kolonien ausgefandt mit der Absicht, die Handelsflötte Deutsch lands zu warnen. Der ganze Vor gang nahm nur wenige Minuten in Anspruch. 153 gelang aber Deut,ch- land dadurch, den allergrößten Teil seiner Handelsschiffe vor der Ver nichtung zu reiten.
