~ EELIN. Germany, Oct 14.-Press
and public here are both discuss
~ ing what territories Germany
shall annex when she has won the

Prof Hans Delbrueck. after Maxi
milan Harden is Germany's most promi-
nent publicist. says IN Der Tag, that
if it came 10 the worst Germany might
have to offer "a favorable peace TO one
OF her great enemies in order to crush
the others, and if things really should
come 10 such a pass. there was not the
slightest doubt in his mind that Ger
many should come TO terms With

STA, annex Poland and the Baltic
provinces. - o.
Against this idea a protest is made
by Ludwig Won HoIdwitt in the Rhine
Westphalian Gazette. one OF the group
OF papers owned BY the Krupps.
Speaking in the name Of Pan-Ger-
nianian. Herr Won Haldwitt says that
to annex Poland and the Baltic pro-
vinces would be detrimental to the In
terests Of the German empire.
Would DePOpuiate French Territory
He says Germany would find a
Censely populated country in which
Germans would find il difficult 10
settle. while II territories were an
neXed from France the people would
leave their homes IN mass rather than
live under German rule French land
Ould therefore make an excellent
German European colony in which
Germany's surplus population might
settle down comfortably.
He continues
IF Germany can lay her hands per-

far more effectively than she has done

Would Extend Eastern Frontiers.
