mapping Europe after war Is going to
be as colossal a diplomatic task az the
war has been military undertaking..
European statesmen believe II will
take several years Some say things
viii begin TO adjust themselves grad.
ually while the fighting still progress
es and that the struggle WIN subside
by degrees as these readjustments arc
affected in spots.
TO show how complicated the situa-
tion viii be. the following is sum
mary, from good diplomatic authori-
ties, Of the changes the allies unques-
tionably will demand II they win de-
cisively over the central powers:
Belgium restored and possibly CIV
en- possession Of Holland as far as tho
river Waal; Holland. In this case, be-
ing compensated by gift OF German
territory to and including Oldenburg.
The French frontier extended to the
Rhine from the Swiss 20 the Belgian
or Dutch frontier
The Tyrol, coritz and Istria, includ-
ing Fiume, transferred from Austria
to Italy.
yorarlberg possibly transferred
from Austria to Switzerland.
East Prussia transferred from Ger
many to Russia. and Russian, German
and Austrian Poland re-established AZ
selfgoverning nation under Russian
domination
schleswig Holstein returned by Ger
many to Denmark.
Hungary probably made separate,
Independent klagdom.
Bukovina turned over to Russia.
Roumania made present Of Tran
sylvania and possibly OF part or even
all Of Bessarabia, as a free gift from

mania.
Serbia and Montenegro united. with
all OF conquered Serbia restored and.
in addition. Bosnia. Herzegovina. Dali

Another fraction Of Turkey handed
to Greece. except in the now unlikely
event that the Greeks should join tho
central powers.
Turkey. according to the generally
accepted program, will be expelled
completely from Europe.
Some diplomats favor partition Of
the sultans Asiatic possessions also
among the allies. Others are disposed
to leave him remnant Of this terri
tory, with his capital. presumably. at
Brussa.
There is Es suggestion Of any teru-
torial allowance to Sweden or Nor
way. despite the fact that the former
is exceedingly anxious for Finland.
Her prorGerman sympDthies undoubt-
edly will prevent this but the assump-
tion is that the Firms viii be given
the measure OF self-government which
they have claimed all along
Luxemburg presumably will be per-
mitted to maintain degree OF semi
independence under French protection
and domination.
Constantinople's fate is hard to de-
termine. Russia wants and seems
pretty likely 10 get il This viii give
the czar his long-desired warm water
port.
It is not much OF a secret that Eng
