"MAP TO BE REMADE'

Paris, Aug. A-The importance Of the
following statement by Former Foreign
Minister Theophile Delcasse, who Is per-
haps the ablest stateman In France,
made today to the London Times and the
Corriere Della Sierra, OF Rome, the latter
the leading paper in italy, is obvious;
There are those who think the neu-
trality of Italy is not enough. / think
the Italians themselves are the sole
judges Of that.
'ItaIy Has Much TO Gain"
"Italy's present attitude is one Of the
foremost elements In the situation. She
has much to gain by her refusal to join
with Germany and Austria. am GER
tain that neither France nor England
nor Russia would ever oppose the grant
ing OF Trent to Italy. As for Trieste,
the consent OF France and England have
already been obtained and believe that
Russia will not object
This war will be a terrible one II may
be long, but 1t will remake the map Of
Europe for a century to come.
AFTER it a congress of nations will
have to fulfill a graver and heavier task
than dcvolved upon the diplomatists who
met at Vienna after Waterloo
.In Proportion 10 Sacrifice
The distribution of the prizes will be
in proportion to the sacrifices made.
Each power will receive its share ac-
cording to its efforts. 1t is, therefore,
to the interest of each power to come
to that congress as one having played an
active part"
NJ. DeIcasse's authority. his long expe-
rience and his proverbial reticence give
great significance to the above formal
statement to which the London Times
gives great prominence.
