The Southern Slavs.

There is an even more grandicse future
for the Southern Slavs, if Austria per-
sists 10 utter ruin. To Bosnia and Here
govina there may be added Croatia, the
Slovene districts north Of Fiume and east
cf Trieste, and there may thus be created
new state, nearly as large as all Of
italy and having a population Of between
II 100000 and 10000 600. Indeed, what
ever the immediate outcome Of the present
conflict, it is difficult to believe that this
will not be the eventual destiny Of the
Serbs and the Croats, together with the
Slovenes. The murdered Archduke Francis
Ferdinand was credited with having cher
ished the hope Of achieving this union Of
the Southern Slavs, but to make this a
union under Austrian sovereignty.
Should this dream be some time realized,
and it is far less fantastic than Rumanlan
aspirations seemed three years ago, italy
might regret bitterly the policy which
raised up a Slav foe on her own shores.

Putting aside the remoter possibilities
however, it is plain to see how great are
the immediate dangers for Austria and
Hungary. A little more than two wears

divided among themselves the millions OF
Poles, who had no deeper desire than
to continue a Polish nation. And after
century and half the Polish purpose and
hope have survived and become anew a
problem for Europe.
No Austrian Race.
But there is no Austrian race. The Ru-
nranians. who make up the major portion
of the population Of Pennsylvania, have
had to submit TO every kind Of stupid and
vicious regulation imposed upon them by
their Hungarian masters. The Italians IN
Trieste have seen the full weight Of Aus
trian influence directed to transforming
Trieste into a Slav town by colonies or
Slovenes invited down from the hills and
favored by Austrian laws and ordinances.

never concealed their longing to be Italian

Italy and Dalmstis.
One detail of the partition is patiently
iniquitous. The Italian purpose TO possess
Dalmatia can be supported only upon his
torical grounds. This region was once
Roman and later Venetian. Its cities bear
Italian names and contain some Of the
most famous of Roman ruins and Of Vene-
tan palaces and churches; but the popula-
ton is overwhelmingly Slav, and its ambi-
ton is to become Serb, not Italian.
Against this Italian psrpose Russia pro-
tested. but in vain. Italian entrance into
the war was conditioned upon the posses
sion Of practically all of Dalmatia, and
there is small hope, now that Italy has
fought so long, that she will forego her
price. But it has been an expensive ambi-
ton. for most Of the fighting against the
Italians has been done by the Slavs, by the
Serbs and the Slovenes of the Adriatic dis
trict who showed no stomach for fighting

Serb or Russian armies, but have fought
with very great loyalty and efficiency
against the Italian armies.
Travellers returning from Serbia just
before the disasters Of last year recount
that the Serb, hearing that the Italian had
announced his purpose TO take Dalmatia,
sadly commented that there must, then, be
another war, war between Serbia and
Italy. Nor can it be doubted that if Italy
proves false to all that her own history has
proven and takes Slav lands she will be
compelled some day to relinquish them as
Austria was compelled to leave Venetia
and seems now to be destined to leave the
Trentino and Trieste.

Rumanian Ambitions.

Even greater are Rumanian ambitions.
Before she entered the Second Balkan War
Rumania was a nation Of 100000 and her
area was nearly $4,000 square miles, about
that of England or of New York State
The Balkan War gave her 5000 square
miles and 100000 people taken from Bull
garia. If she gets her prize in the Aus
TRAN campaign she will get over $4,000
square miles and become kingdom with
an area equal to that Of the mainland Of
Italy. Her total population will be close
to 100000, and more than half Of the
new citizens will be Rumanian by race.
In Pennsylvania, too, she will acquire
the coal mines necessary to her industrial
expansion. Shaped now like ascrescent
moon, Rumania will then become a solid
block, no longer threatened with dissection
by any attack coming from Austria.
Sentimentally, Pennsylvania has always
exercised a great influence upon Ruma-
mans, because it Is really the home Of many
Of the most famous of the members Of the
Rumanian race, just as Bosnia is really
more potent than Serbia itself in the cult

Russia's the Real Prize.
The real prize will naturally fall to Rus
STA. Galicia is one of the richest agricult-
ural lands in all Europe and its oil wells
are unsurpassed on the Continent. By
bringing her frontiers to the Carpathians
Russia will abolish the open frontier that
has so long weakened her position on the
west and has proved so disastrous in the
campaigns of the present war. Lemberg,
the capital of Galicia, is a city Of nearly

Command of the Adriatic.

In addition, in taking Trieste and the
coastland down to the end of the Istrian
peninsula she will get the great modern
city Of Trieste, one of the first commercial
ports of the Mediterranean basin, and Pola,
the chief naval station of Austria. Along
the Dalmatian coast she will acquire other
splendid harbors and such famous cities
as lara, Spalatro, Sebenico. Possession of
Dalmatia and of the islands Of the Adriatic
will give her command of the Adriatic and
she will abolish the rivalry of Austria,
even if Fiume remains to Hungary and
Austria and Hungary continue united
But there is no certainty that Italy does
not expect to take Fiume also, the only
ether considerable commercial city of the
Adriatic and Hungary's unique seaport.
Proportionately, Serbia's gains will be
greater. Bosnia, Dalmatia, the fraction

what the proposed changes will mean. For
Italy the change will carry the boundary
to the natural frontiers at the SUBMITS of
the Alps. The long peninsula which Aus
tria has stretched far down into the Italian
territory will be abolished. Italy will not
only regain her ancient frontier of the Ma
poleonic Kingdom of 1910, but she will also
take many German speaking communities
about the celebrated resorts of Meran.
The headwaters of the Adige, the summit
of the Bremen Pass, the Pusterthal, with
the headwaters of the brave, will come to
her. Some Of the fairest bits Of the Alps,
some of the best known places Of tourism,
will fall to her share.

"AMERICA's FOREIGN RELATIONS" !"

Dr. Willis Fletcher Johnson's history
of American diplomacy, a preliminary
announcement of which has already
been made in these columns, will be
published by the Century Company in
April. Beginning with the relations
which existed among the various Euro
pean powers originally in possession
Of our soil and which remained as a
legacy of good or evil when the Repub-
lie was established, DR.. Johnson traces
the developments produced by our
early wars. our share in the opening
of the Orient, the position Of Europe
toward our Civil War, our colonial de-
velopments, our difficulties with Brit
ish America, the war with Spain,
our various dealings with Latin
America and every other aspect of our
international relationships TO the be-
ginning of the world war. He believes
that the foreign relations of this coun-
try are the least generally known
phase Of its history, and that this ig-
norance is part Of a somewhat bigoted
national egotism from which many Of
our ills have sprung and will continue
20 spring. His object Is 10 inspire the
American people, most cosmopolitan IN
actual composition but least cosmopol-
itan in sympathy and genius, with a
more adequate conception Of their real
place in the world. His work is cast
in the form of non-technical, though
studiously accurate, narrative designed
to give the average lay citizen a clear
understanding Of topics which are
among the most important and the
most neglected in all our national an
mails.
