DIPLOMATS WILL HAVE AWFUL TIME
IN REMAPPING EUROPE AFTER WAR
LONDON, .June 22.—Re-mapping
Kurpoe after the war is going to be
as colossal a diplmatic task as the
war has been a military undertaking.
European statesmen believe it will
take several years. Some say things
will begin to adjust themselves grad
ually while the lighting still pro
gresses and that the struggle will
subside by degrees as these readjust
ments are effected in spots.
To show how complicated the
situation will be, the following is a
summary, from good diplomatic au
thorities, of the changes the Allies
unquestionably will demand decis
ively over the central powers:
Belgium restored and possibly
given possession of Holland as far as
the river Waal: Holland, in this case,
being compensated by a gift of Ger
man territory to and including Old
enburg.
The French frontier extended to
the Rhine from the Swiss to the Bel
gian or Dutch frontier.
The Tyrol, Goritz and Istria, in
cluding Fiume, transferred from
Austria to Italy.
Voralberg possibly transferred
from Austria to Switzerland.
East Prussia transferred from Ger
many to Russia, and Russ.an, Ger
man and Austrian Poland re-estab- I
lished as a self-governing nation
under Russian domination.
Schleswig-Holstein returned by i
Germany to Denmark.
Hungary probably made a sepa- j
rate, independent kingdom.
Bukovina turned over to Russia.
Roumania made a present of
Transylvania and possibly a part
or even all of Bessarabia, as a free
gift from Russia. Another big slice
of Northern Bulgaria also trans
ferred to Roumania.
Serbia and Montenegro reunited, j
with all of conquered Serbia restored
and, in addition, Bosnia, Herzegov
ina, Dalmatia and part of European
Turkey ceded to the pair.
Another fraction of Turkey hand
ed to Greece, except in the now un
likely event that the Greeks should
join the central powers.
Turkey, according to the generally
accepted program, will be expelled
completely from Europe.
Some diplomats favor a partition
of the sultan's Asiatic possessions
also among the allies. Others are
disposed to leave Lira a remnant of
this territory, with his capital, pre
sumably, at Brussa.
There is no suggestion of any ter
ritorial allowance to Sweden or Nor
way, despite the fact that the former
is exceedingly anxious for Finland.
Her pro-German sympathies un
doubtedly will prevent this, but the
assumption is that the Finns will be
given the measure of self-govern
mest which they have claimed all
along.
Luxe nburg presumably will be
permitted to maintain a degree of
semi-independence under French
protection and domination.
Constantinople’s fate is hard to de
termine. Russia wants and seems
pretty likely to get it. This will give
the czar his long-desired warm
water port.
It is not much of a secret that
England is not very happy over this
prospect. The British would rather
see Constantinople international—a
neutral city. It will be hard, how
ever, to deny to their allies the one
thing they are most particularly
anxious to secure. The issue may
conceivably become the subject of
discord between the two big powers.
This, however, only disposes of
Europe.
Russia will get big chunk of Tur
key's Asiatic territory, perhaps as
far south as Bagdad. The czar will
dominate Northern Persia, also, if he
does not actually annex it.
England will hold a similar posi
tion in Southern Persia, and will get
Mesopotamia and the sultan's pos
sessions south from Bagdad to the
Persian gulf.
Greece, if she is good, will get
Smyrna, and a little territory sur
rounding the city.
In Africa, the Cameroons will go
to France, and Belgium will get a
part of German East Africa.
England will take the rest of the
kaiser's African possessions.
Germany’s islands will be kept by
the powers which have, taken them—
Japan, England, Australia and New
Zealand. Japan will retain Kiao
Chau.
Some allied diplomats hold that
war should continue until Germany
and Austria are broken up into their
original component states. Others
see no objection to a continued fed
eration, into which they predict Aus
tria will be drawn What will be the
outcome nobobdy knows.
All tills is taking it for granted
the allies will be victorious.
If the central powers should win
it is accepted as a foregone conclu
sion that:
j Germany will keep Belgium, per
i haps take enough of Holland to give
the kaiser control of the Scheldt,
gather in enough of northern France
to secure Calais, regain all lost Ger
man colonies, annex Courland from
Russia, wrest Singapore from Eng
! land, as the gateway to the Orient,
! seize lndo-China from the French,
and establish Poland as a nominally
self-governing kingdom under Ger
man domination.
It is taken for granted further
that Old Serbia and Montenegro will
' become Austrian, that Bulgaria will
J get Macedonia and a big mouthful
! of the territory Greece took from j
Turkey, that Germany will become
paramoust in Roumania. Albania and i
Persia, and that, through his over- i
lordship of Austria, Bulgaria and j
Turkey, the kaiser's rule will extend,
in effect, as far as the Persian gulf.
From Italy, Austria is expected to
get the province of Venice.
Earlier in the war there was much
talk of big money indemnities to be
paid by the losing to the winning
side. There isn't much of this talk
now. Each side is convinced that it
can't get what the other won't have
for a long time after peace is re
stored.
ST. PAUL, Minn., June 22.—
Pledges of prohibitionists to vote
against any presidential candidate
or party not pledged to the abolition
of the liquor traffic, rather than an
actual serious attempt to elect a na
tional ticket, seemed the possible
keynote today of the national con
vention to be held here July 19.
On July IS a preliminary meeting
will be held of the 5,000,000 voters'
league, which seeks to align 5,000,
000 voters on the platform of a pro
hibition pledge, rather than for the
prohibition ticket. It is claimed that
150,000 voters in Minnesota alone
will be secured.
Eugene N. Foss, former governor
of Massachusetts, and William Sul
zer, former governor of New York,
will be here during the convention,
opening July 19. College men from
the entire nation will hold an ora
torical contest, as a preliminary to
the convention, on July 17.

PLANK ADOPTED
CHICAGO, June 22.—An anti
militarism plank was drafted into
; the platform of the Socialist party
at the meeting of the national execu
tive committee here. The meet.ng
was attended by members of both
I the old and recently elected commlt
' tees. Practically the same platform
i as was adopted is 1912, with the
anti-militarism plank added, was
| adopted by the committee. It will
| be submitted at once to the 6,000
| local branches of the party for a
referendum vote.
In submitting the anti-militarism
plank Janies H. Maurer, of Reading,
Pa., said:
“The Socialist party of America
reaffirms its unalterable position
against war. More than a year ago i
this position was taken. In the pres,
ent crisis it sees no reason for doing i
anything that might plunge our
country into the ruin which is only j
too evident in the European nations.
Had President Wilson warned Amer
icans to keep off vessels of belliger
ents as Sweden has done and as Eng
land had done during the Japanese
Russo war, the crisis in our inter
national relations would never have
arisen."
Messages were received from Allen
Louis Benson, of Yonkers, N. Y., the
party’s candidate for president, and
from the vice presidential nominee,
George R. Kirkpatrick, of Newark,
N. J. They were nominated by a
referendum vote the latter part of
March. Both endorsed an anti-mili
tarism platform.
Among those who attended the
meeting today were: Victor L. Ber
ger, of Milwaukee; Morris Hillquist,
of New York; Walter Lanferiek,
Adolph Germer, Mount Olive, 111.; G.
H. Goebel, of Newark, N. J.; Emil
Seidel, of Milwaukee; Arthur Le
Setter, of Fort Scott, Kansas, and
James M. Maurer.
