GREATER GREECE ID BE RESULT
 OF WORLD WAR
All of Turkish Territory in Europe May Be Turned Over to This
 Country

Athens, October 1.-(Correspondence of
 to leave Europe, as the entente allies
 have required in their war terms, then
 there is well-defned belief in the Bal
 kans that two results will occur of
 high importance to Greece and all Eu-
 rope.
 First, That the Greek inevitably will
 succeed the Turk throughout Thrace and
 in thepwhole region down to the Darda-
 nelles and the Bosphorous.
 Second, That new zone of territory
 friendly to the entete will thus be
 stretcher horizontally across the Balkans
 as farrier to the German dream Of
 making the Balkans a German highroad
 to the orient
 Professor Andread of the University of Athens, one of the foremost authori- ties on international affairs relating to the Balkans, holds this view, and in the course of talk today he explained how these two results would naturally come about in the final peace adjustment by
 reason of the principle of nationaliues
 now accepted by the entente allies as basis for territorial readjustment Professor Andread who is a specialist on the extent of Greek citizenship be- yond the Greek fronuers-in Macedonia, and the other Balkans, in Turkey, Syria and Asia Minor-pointed out the great predominance of the Greeks in the re- gions to be evacuated by the Turks if they are to leave Europe.
 Hhe whole vilayet, or province, of Adrianople, extending from the Balkans down to Constantinople, he declared, is as much Greek as it is Turk, and with the Turks out it Is practically all Greek. Even Constantinople, he said, is a Greek city-the largest of Greek cities with a population of 350,000 Greeks. That gives an idea of the extent oi Greek citizenship in all this section down to the straits, which will have to be considered, on the basis of nationality and race, when the Turk leaves Eu- rope.
 That is why I say" added Professor Andreade, sthat if the Turk is to with draw, the principle of nationality which recognizes the racial condition of com- munity, will lead to the recognition ot ton. Thus far, the principle of nation ality has ben ignored and violated in all Balkan settlements, and force has 1 prevailed. Austria and Bulgaria have /, not occupied any of the territory annexed l in recent years by reason that their l race or nationality prevailed in these sections, but solely by reas son of their | l of the endless wars in the Balkans 1 for the people are never satisfied when l their race is ignored and they are at tached to a foreign conqueror by l force"
 1 Professor Andread, referring to the Balkan map, showed how the readjust- ment of Balkan boundaries, based on nationalities, would interpose two bar riers to Germanic expansion toward !, Asia Minor and the orient, one the Greek zone across Thrace, and another 1 the Serb-Rumanian link of territory | which lies as a dam between Hungary and Bulgaria. This Serb-Rumanian link l Is only 50 miles across, but with Ru- mania getting the Banat region, to which | Professor Andread says she is entitled I by the principle of nationality. this en- tente link will be 150 miles across.
 And thus entente Europe can ac complish what it chiefly seeks in the | Balkans said Professor Andreade Friendly entente zones intercepting ths natural route of Germanic expansion to ward the orient, and this can be accom- J plished, not by force, but by the princi- pie of nationality now accepted by th' l entente powers"
