Greece Sees Big Future If Turk
 Is Eliminated

ATHENS-(By Associated Press )-If the Turk is to leave Europe, as the entente allies have required in their war terms, then there is a welLdefined belief in the Balkans that two results will oc- cur of high importance to Greece and all Europe:
 First-That the Greek will inevita- bly succeed the Turk through out Thrace and in the whole region down to the Dardanelles and the Bos- phorus.
 Second-That a new zone of terri tory friendly to the entente will thus be stretched horizontally straight across the Balkans as a barrier to the German dream of making the Balkans a German highroad to the Orient.
 Professor Andreade. of the Universi- ty of Athens, one of the foremost au- thorities on international affairs re lating to the Balkans, holds this view and in the course of a talk today he explained how these two results would naturally come about in the final peace adjustment, by reason of the principle of nationalities now ac- cepted by the entente as a basis for territorial readjustment
 Professor Andreade, who is a spe- cialist on the extent of Greek citi- zenship beyond the Greek frontiers in Macedonia and the other Balkans, in Turkey. Syria and Asia Minor pointed out the great predominance of the Greeks in the regions to be. evacuated by the Turks if they arc to leave Europe.
 The whole vilayet, or province OfI Adrianople, extending from the Bal kans down to Constantinople, he de clared, is as much Greek as it IS Turk and with the Turks out it isI practically all Greek. Even Constan- tinople," he said, ''is a Greek city the largest of Greek cities-with a population of S5O,OOO Greeks. That gives an idea of the extent of Greek citizenship in all this section down to the Straits, which will have to be considered, on the basis of nationali ty and race. when the Turk leaves Europe.
 That is why say" added Profes- sor Andreade, that if the Turk is to withdraw, the principle of nationality which recognizes the racial condition of a community, will lead to the rec 0r mt frf1 l ence in that section. Thus far, the principle of nationality has been ig- nored and violated in all Balkan set dement's, and force has prevailed ! Austria and Bulgaria have not oucu- pied any of the territory annexed 5n recent years by reason that their race or nationality prevailed in these sec ! tions, but solely by reason of their military force. That has been the cause of the endless wars in the Bal kans, for people are never satisfied when their race is ignored and they are attached to a foreign conquerer by force"
 Professor Andreade, referring to the Balkan map, showed how the !  readiustment of Balkan boundaries, | based on nationalities, would inter pose two barriers to Germanic ex- pansion, toward Asia Minor and the | Orient, one, the Greek zone across Thrace. and another, the Serb-Ruman- ian link of territory which lies as a dam between Hungary and Bulgaria. | This Serb-Rumanian link is only 50 miles across, but with Rumania get ting the Banat region, to which Pre- ! lessor Andresde says she is entitled | by the principle of nationality, this | entente 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 the natural route of Germanic expan- sion toward the Orient, and this can be accomplished, not by force, but by the principle of nationality now ac ceptsd by the entente powers"
