London dispatch argues Germany seeks a world empire from Antwerp to the Persian Gulf. It contends a victorious war would create a Greater Germany ruling over 130 million Germans plus Austria Hungary Belgium and 30 million Turks, with Antwerp to Constantinople and across the Bosphorus to the Persian Gulf under German sway.
