RESHAPlNG THE MAP.

Expectations reshaping of the map of Europe, on theories involving the success of one or the other parties to the present struggle, are now in order. Of course, the probability of any accurate forecast being made is remote, because there will be an i'm mense number of details and there is always the possibility of a lack of agreement between the prevailing states on the final details. Yet there is some slight interest attached to these forecasts.
 In the event of the success of the allies and their being in position to impose any terms which they might desire upon Germany and Aus. tria, the probability is that Prussia would suffer more severely than any other German state. Indeed, Prussia is the only Germanic state which has before it the probability of dismem- berment.
 The czar has already announced his intention to re-establish the ancient kingdom of Poland, under his own crown, however, suggesting that he will occupy toward the new Kingdom. the same relation that the emperor of Austria occupies toward Hungary. The re-establishment of Poland would deprive Prussia of 8 great share of territory which t has held since the partition of Poland between Prussia. Austria and Russia in the time of Frederick the Great.
 The allies may compel Prussia to surrender the province of Schlesw1g. IIolstein, which she took with the strong hand from Denmark gen. eration ago. This would deprive Ger many of the Kiel canal, of such great naval advantage to her, theoretically at least. That canal would probably be neutralized, but placed under Dan ish sovereignty. Alsace and Lorraine would probably go back to France; England would probably demand and take over Germany's foreign colon ies, and Servia would get Bosnia and Herzegovina. Italy, as the price ot
