The statement Is as follows: Teuton Wedge Into Asia. "Some years sgo there was devel- oped In Berlin a plan looking to the construction of a railroad from the capital of tiio Teuton emplro to the Persian gulf. ' this road was planned to pass through Asia Minor, thence across the Euphrates to tiie Tigris, pass Nlniveh and Bagdad to the Per Mian gu'f at. Baesorah. This road was to form an all-rail routo from the Dal tic sea to the Persian arm of the In- dian' ocean. It was to open up South eastern Asia for Germany as India had long before been opened up b> England and Northern Asia by Russia. Diplomatic Difficulties. "When the Germans entered upon their stupendous scheme, which wm fiie first effort over made to open up this rast territory, they Immediately found themaelves running counter to the wishes and purposes of other na tions, and, the result was a long series of diplomatic Interchanges which Anally led the Germans to sbandon their purpose of building through to the Gulf of Persia and to accept Bag- dad as the Asiatic terminus of the German road. Concession From Tur«ey. % "The first steps in the evolution of the German Bagdad railway were taken in ikss, when a group of Ger- man financiers, backed by the Deutsche Bank, sought and obtained a concession from Turkey for the construction of a railway from Is- mldt to Angora, Ismldt a port on Marmora Sea and Angora a trade cen tor in the heart of Asia Minor. This was to be the first link in the great railway system which was to open the riches of the East to Industrial Ger- many. German diplomacy in the years following this first concession was suc- cessful in establishing the most cor- dial relations between Wlrhelmstrasse and the Sublime Porte. The "Bafldadbahn." The railway to Angora wm n«t*t •tended by a branch to Konla, in southeastern Asia Minor, which stretch was to become a trunk line in the Bagdad railway. In 1303. fol- lowing a second visit of the Raiser to Constantinople, Germany obtained the concession for extending the rail- way from Konla to the Persian gulf. This waa the year of the official birth of the 'Bagdadbahn,' and the begin- ning of an Intensified British-German struggle of diplomacy in the Near East The firman constituting the Bagdad Railway company was ob- tained in 1903. Immediately negotia- tions were begun by other interested nations for a share In the construc- tion of the line through Mesopotamia. Germany made no strong effort to withstand international participation. England Playa An Acs. »u 1911, the original concession m modified by a series of negotia- tions. British diplomacy succeeded In blocking the Gorman railway from the Persian gulf by persuading Sheik Mo> barek, practically independent ruler <»ver his small domain, to refuse the Bsgdad railway a terminus at Ko welt. So. in the 1911 agreements, the com- pany renounced its right to build be- yond Bagdad, stipulating solely that it should have an equal share in any future extension to the gulf. Some other cessions of its original rights were made, and, in return, the com* pany waa given the right to build a branch line to Alexandretta. a rising Asia Minor Mediterranean port.
