Head Dies Suddenly Copenhagen, N&v. 10. Albert Ballin, general director 'of the Hamburg-American Steamship company, died suddenly Saturday, according to an announcement made in Ber lin. Albert Ballin, who was born in 1857, was somewhat celebrated be cause of his intimacy with the Ger man emperor. On all shipping mat ters he was the the emperor's trusted adviser, second only, on oc casion, to Grand Admiral Von Tirp itz. , There wa3 a report, widely circu lated, the resignation of Von Tirp itz was finally brought about by Bal lin, who declared himself opposed to many features of the submarine policy, .and, having the emperor's ear, was said to have warned .him of the serious consequences of the useless destruction of merchant ships. This was in 1916, but after the United States entered the war Herr BaUin fell into disfavor. There is a well authenticated story of a conference between the emperor, von Hindenburg, Luden dorff and Ballin, in which the ship ping man, after , listening to the glo ving account of the military sit uation given by the military leaders, told the emperor that every extra month of the war meant an addi tional year in getting out of the ruin after the war. He declared he did not expect to live to see Germany out of her difficulties.

It appears probable that no one in Germany knows, and that it is still to be . determined, which of the contending elements will gain the upper hand. New Problems Face Allies. Revolution is spreading rapidly, and from the fact that a socialist is now chancellor it may .be gathered that the object of the revolution is not merely the quick ending of the war, but the complete severance of political ties which still bind the nation with its past. ' For the allies , the problem has changed. The countries which fought Germany and her vassals for more than four years have emerged from it completely triumphant,, but within the borders of the countries which menaced the peace of the whole world stalks revolt, famine and anarchy. The world's next task may be to restore order in the deso lated central empires. It may be the lot of the forces who have suc cessfully contested Germany's greed for power to save her from the fate she imposed on Russia. Likewise, help will have to be given to Austria-Hungary,' Bulgaria and Turkey, whose ruin Germany wrought. Last of Great Autocracies. The German empire was the last of the great autocracies whose fall marks 'the real significance of the war. In Russia, Austria-Hungary and finally -in Germany irrespon sible oower gave way before the ir resistible forces of democracy. Ger many, holviing on to the last, kept up the hopeless struggle until field arshal von Hindenburg's prophetic words, early in the war, came true. The side with the strongest nerves, said he, would win. It was the crumbling of the home front which made- it impossible tor uermany, notwithstanding her great armies in the field, to 'carry on any longer.- The collapse of Germany brings the eclipse of the- German idea of the state, as opposed to the doctrine of individual. rights, to which the nation clung with hardly a dissent ing voice until recently. Under this regime there was developed a nation of which militarism was the embodi ment, which murdered and pfun dered, was heedless of the rights. of tl.j individual and made' terrorism a matter of studied policy. , Reign of Terrorism. ' This terrorism was directed against not only individuals, but against 1 nations, against not only hostile nations, but those with which Germany was officially at peace. Its system of espionage, corruption and violCncw extended over the wond. It was exemplified by the plots car ried out in this country under direc tion' of the government for the de struction of munition plants and ships before the United States en tered the war, ind by the effort -of the German government to em broil this country, then neutral, in war with Japan and Mexico. No capital of Europe was free from German secret-agents in the years preceiing the war,' and the nations lived in growing dread of the huge military" machine which Germany was building up, to the accompani ment of the. emperor's boastings of the "shining sword" -and German toasts to 7'Der Tag" in voices which echoed around the world. The virtual ending of this great est of conflicts has come with dra matic swiftness. Four months ago today the German military power apparently was at its height., T'-e unchecked forces of the enemy had battered their way through the French and British Unes until Paris was in danger and the British were fighting with their backs to the wall to- prevent themselves from being forced to the sea. Late in July the world was thrilled with the news of an allied counter-at tack between the Aisne and the Marne. The Germans were hurled back along the whjle sector and since that day the victorous prog ress of the allies has been ''main- tamed, f . ' s America Turns Scale. . Various causes . havfe contributed to this reversal.- The entrance of America into the struggle, with her vast resources ot men and materials, is conceded by the allies to have turned the scale. One of the most important effects of this country's acts was the heartening to an enor mous extent of the wearied allied nations and a corresponding deter ioration of -German morale. Ex haustion of 'German raw material and years of semi-starvation assist ed in the process of beatine down the enemy to a submissive frame of mind., it is also significant that the establishment of unquestioned allied suprtmacytin the field almost syn- DECLARATIONS OF WAR Austria against Belgium, August 28. 1914.

Among the individual leaders, aside from Foch, whose names stand out most 'prominently, are Marshal Joffre, who saved France in her 'darkest days' of the summer of 1914; Field Marshal Haig, the British-commander; General Petain, at the head of the French forces; General Diaz, who, on the Italian front, beat bick last summer's Aus trian 'offensive nd later tore the. Austrian armies to pieces in a few weeks, and General Pershing. On the German side are Field Marshal ven Hindenburg, a compar tively obscure officer who leaped into world-wide fame by his defeat of the Russians in 1914, and subse quently became the idol of Germany, and General Ludendorff, who, al though frequently credited with be ing the 'abler of the two, never touched popular imagination as did his colleague. When Von Hinden berg was at the height of his fame, a great wooden image of the German hero was set up, a.monument to the power which, now is broken. It stands today in Berlin, unless the new masters of Germany have torn it down. N Origin of Conflict. It was late in June, 1914, that the world was stirred bv the murder in Sarajevo, Bosnia, of the Aruchduke Francis Ferdinand, the Austrian heir-apparent, and his wife, Austria, backed by Germany, accused Serbia of instigating the crime and made demands which Serbia accepted in part. Austria would not agree to arbitrate the demands not accepted by Serbia and the foreign offices in London, Paris and Petrograd failed to swerve Austria from her course. Austria-Hungary began hostilities on July 27, 1914, by attacking Ser bia, and within a week Germany had joined her, while France, Great Britain and Prussia had thrown their forces against Germany and Austria. As the war went on the number of nations involved in creased until the conflict became the greatest in the history of the world. Declaring War on France, Ger many on August 1, 1914, threw her armies toward France by -way ,of Belgium. Fighting for the main tenance of their neutrality, the Bel gians checked the on-coming horde for a time but within two months the Prussian armies were within a few miles of Paris from which the French government had fled'. One of the vital moments of the war had arrived. In a battle of dramatic changes, the "nemy hordes were hurled back at the -Marne. U. S. Entered War April 0, 1917. Turkey soon entered the war on the side of Germany . and Italy .'joined-the allies. Bulgaria came in t.i. . . j , . r witn uermany, ana serpia ana Mon tenegrovwere overrrun. On-April 6, 1817, the United States, unable to force Germany by peaceful means to conduct her ruthless submarine warfare in keeping with interna tional law, threw her forces into the struggle. , At that time the, imperial govern ment of Russia had been overthrown and a provisional democratic gov ernment instituted. In Italy, the armies of King Victor Emmanuel were driving back the Austrians in the Trentino and on the Isbnzo. In France, the ' French and British were hammering at the German lines with little apparent results. The autumn of 1917 witnessed the defeat ofvthe Italian armies . and their retreat to the Piave line. Al most simultaneously American troops appeared on the western front for the-first time, while the French and British . armies were holding positions of strategic im- protance from 'the North Sa tH Switzerland. jDuifng the winter of 1917-18, American aid became more effective and Russia dropped out be cause of the bolsheviki coup, Germany, at the bengining t. '918, announced her purpose -to end the war by an offensive in France. It was her last mighty effort, and for wteks the w6rld wondered when the enemy hordes' would be stopped. The turn in the fighting came on July 18 when Marshal Foch launched the Americans and French in an attack. Since that fateful day for Germany, the allied armies on all f. 'its have met with continued success. I CVrnrny's ultimate defeat iiecatne "more' certain "as" the" sumrer ad- vanced. The first break in the ranks of the central powers came with the defection of Bulgaria late in Sep tember. Turkey signed armistice terms the last of October and Austria-Hungary tendered the white flag to Italy on November 4, when hos tilities ceased on all Austrian fronts. Germany attempted to bring about a negotiated peace, but how great was her failure is shown by the fact that her emissaries are now at Marshal Foch's headquarters for the last scene of the world's greatest tragedy.
