Might Follow Peace.

London, Oct. 3.-After the war,
then what? Englishmen to a. man ex-
pect, Germany to be crushed in the
present contest and are busiIy engag-
! ed in discussing events which might
follow declaration of peace.
In a recent recruiting speech Win
ston Churchill, First Lord of the Ad-
nn1ra1ty, warned England against MAX
ing the error Germany made in 1870
when she had France lying PROSTATE
at her feet. He said: Let us what
ever we do, fight for and work to-
wards great and sound principles for
the European system. And the first of
those principles which we should keep
before US is the principle of nation
aHties-that is to say, not the con-
quest or subjugation or any great cam
munity or Of any strong race of men,
but the setting free of those races
which have been subjugated and con-
quered; and if doubt arises about dis
puted areas of territory we should
try to settle their ultimate destination
in the reconstruction of Europe which
must follow from this war with a fair
regard to the wishes and feelings of
the peoples who live in them"
Mr.. ChurchilPs expression of the
opinion that Europe's map will be
thoroughly remade is merely an echo
Of the talk of men or all classes In
the windows of many shops are signs
Keep trade in the usual channels
while the map Of Europe is being re-
made" Lecturers, preachers and edi-
tiers are constantly discussing 4 the
probable redistribution Of European
territory.
Doubtless Germans and Austrians
are also planning for the division Of
territory that they expect to acquire
through the war and are arranging
a wholly different apportionment from
that contemplated by the allies. Fol-
lowing the suggestion Of Winston
Churchill many Englishmen, public
lists and journalists are already turn
ing Alsace-Lorraine back to France,
and Sch1eswig- Holstein to Denmark,
while German Poland is regarded as
territory which should have It's own
government. But the English are not
taking Russian Poland away from Rus
STA and joining 1t with the section
of Germany from which it was di-
vorced SO unwillingly.
WILL REWARD ITALY.
Some difference of opinion exists
among Englishment as to what might
be done with Trieste and the terri
mere neutrality of Italy is regarded
by some Britons as action which
should be well rewarded, considering
Ita1y's membership in the Triple AL
lance with which it refused to act.
Bosnia would be turned over to Ser
via in reward of it's stand with the
allies. Herzegovina would be given
to Montenegro and Transy1vania to
Roumania.
The possible entrance Of Turkey in
to the struggle adds much interest
to the work Of the mapmakers Threats
from other Balkan states that they
would fight Turkey in case it lent
support to Germany and Austria give
variety to the complications. Greece,
Bulgaria and Roumania would doubt
less come in for generous slices Of
Mohammedan territory were The Porte
to cast its lot with Germany, acord-
ing to the British view. And Rus
STA might come in for liberal helping
of Asiatic Turkey, extending the
change in maps we'll beyond the Eu
ropean lines, and probably giving Rus
STA much freer outlet to the Medl-
terranean.
Discussing the establishment Of
old nations further, Winston Churchill
said: That is the aim which, If 1t
is achieved, will justify the exertions
of the war and will make amends
to the world for the loss and suffer
ing, the agony of suffering, which it
has wrought and entailed, and which
will give to those who come after Us
not only the pride which we hope they
will feel in remembering the martial
achievements Of the present age Of
Britain, but which will give them also
a better and fairer worla to live in and
2. Europe free from the causes OF ha-
tired and unrest which have poisoned
the comfy of nations and ruptured
the peace of Christendom."
