CHANGING THE MAP OF EUROPE
How Col. Watterson Believes That il
May Be Done

War has many times changed the
map of Europe. This war OF the
kaisers will surely change it again.
1t will change it radically. Pan.
Ge-manism is mainly a Prussian IDEA
and growth. In way Bismarck be-
gan it. He coazed, cozened and com
PEELED what he called united Germany
But Bavaria Saxony and Wuerttcm-
berg-and especially Bavaria-were
more or less reluctant. They WINGED
under the Pussian ascendancy. Tn
doubleday Munich, Dresden and Slut
gardt will be glad to be detached
from Berlin, and again to become
recognized capitals. Assuredly the
detachment will not make against
German civilization and culture On
the contrary, it may promote both by
stimulating domestic pride anew and
building up local rivalry somewhat
killed by overshadowing paterLalism
and imperial Capitalization.
In no event can Wilhelm OF Prus-
STA be allowed to continue his medic
val domination. That would leave
him. and the system he embodias,
free to bide their time and come
again ut some future moment which.
rightly or wrongly they might think,
as they wrongly thought OF this, to
be opportune. There will never be
lasting peace In Europe until SUCH a
balance OF powers is struck as viii

another. holding war as Prussia has
In the hollow of its hand.
The ideal map which the war of
the kaisers is to recreate would show

ms Kossuth contemplated-and a re-
crganization of Poland. fulfilling the
dreams of Sobieski and K9sciusko.
