"If by threats or by hostile action Germany should succeed in getting control of Denmark she would, among other things, put us to the necessity of seizing and holding Ice- land and the Faroe Islands, both places which might be a considerable to us, if nothing worse, should they come into the enemy's hands.

Munitions Man To Enter Cheap-Price Car Field. } Détreit, Mich,, Jan, 13.--Two wiz- ards of the 'automobile world are at swords points and before their bat- tle is' finshed it is estimated that mil- 'lions of dollars will be expended in competition. Henry Ford and Walter C. Durant are the principles fn a gigantie striig- gle that will stagger the financial and commercial world. This: was the statement Tuesday by men close to both magnates. The limes of the first skirmish are just being formed, but when the battle is on in earne its limits will reach to the national capital and will become international in scope The two men hold exactly oppos ite views on international affairs. Ford opposes war, and all plans for | war, while the Dupont Powder infer- | ests, are said to be behind Durant in a wide-reaching plan to monopolize the trade in munition supplies. .

Defeat of Central Powers at Might Be One of the Points in the War. : Athens, Jgqu. 12 --Saft officers here feel that the Germans have four possible campaigns in view, Salonika, Bukeowina, Egypt and India. Their theory starts with the assumption that Germans, having armed the the Bulgars and Turks, will require operations by them at the earliest practicable date. Turkey boasts of an army of 1,200,000 well armed men, and it is reasonable to Suppose that it will 'be impessible for Ger- DOUBT.

Twmkey must go to Egypt or India. The=Turks are nearly at the fanatical stage. because of the long-promised Egyptian campaign. A campaign against India is =aid to be a fantastic dream. Turkey continues to declare bold- 1¥ its determination to begin an Egyptian campaign, hoasting that within two months after it starts it will take the Suez Canal, a boast that evokes smiles from thé Entente strategists Certainly Gemal Pasha is working like a Trojan to concen- trate and train large contingents of troops of purely Tutkish blood. Hith- erto the actions in Egypt have been limited to small adfance post fights east of the canal and in the vicin- ity of Cyrenaica. In these affairs the British suffered: slightly, al- thcngh the Bedouins lost heavily, in spite of the fact that they were fur- nished with considerable modern German artillery. Last "Thursday three divisions of Turks passed Al- exandretta if the direction of Egypt. The Greeks say that the noise about the prospective campaign is no more bluff than were the Bulgar-German boasts preceding the Serbian drive. It is known that many Italian critics believe that the Germans have se- lected Egypt -a8 the place for their projected 2reat blow against the British emmive. A Thred-German campaign against Lgypt is extremely doubtful of suc- cess, and the defeat of the Central powers there might be one of the ding points in the war ded WHITMAN ADVOCATES HUGHES As Republican Candidate For Presi. dent Of 1. 8.
