PREDICTIONS OF
 WHAT WILL HAPPEN
 IN BALKAN STATES
Speculation is Keen As To
 Whether Entente Allies Will Carry Out Threat

ATHENS, Correspondence of the Associated Press)-If the Turk is to leave Europe, as the Entente allies have required in their wa rtrems, then ther eis a well-defined belief in the Beliians that two results will oc- cur of high importance to Greece and all Europe.
 First-That the Greek inevitably will succeed the Turk throughout Thrace and in the whole region down to the Dardenelles and the Bosphorus,
 Second-That a new zone of terri tory friendly to the Entente will thus be strotcl' Horizontally straight across the Balkans as barrier to the German dream of making the Balkans a German highroad to the Orient.
 Professor Aadreqde of the Univer- sity of Athens, one of the foremost authorities on international affairs re- lating to the Balkans, holds this view and in the course of talk today he explained hof these two results would naturally come about in the final peace adjustment, by reason of the principle of nationalities now accept ed ythe Entente allies as basis for territorial readjustment.
 Professor Andreade who is a spec ialist on the extent of Greek citizen ship beyond the Greek. frontiers-in acedonia and the other Balkans, in Turkey, Syria and Asia Minor-point- ed out the great predominance of the Greeks in the regions to be evacuated by the Turks if they are to leave Eu- rope
 The whole vilayet, or province, of Adrianople, extending from the Bal kans down to Constantinople, he de- Turk and with the Turks out it is practically all Greek. Even Constan- tinople," he said lis a Greek city tie largest of Greek cities-with
 'alation of 35O,O00 Greeks. That gives an idea of tn eextent of Greek citizenship in all this section down to the Straits, which will have to be onsiderod, on the basis of national ity and race, when the Turk leaves Flu rope.
 "That is why I say" added Prof. Andreade that if the Turk is to with draw, the principle of nationality which recognizes the racial condition of a community, will lead to the rec ognition of Greek paramount influence in taht section. Thus far, the principle of nationality has been ignored and violated in all Balkan settlements, and force has prevailed. Austria and Bulgaria have not occupied any of the territory annexed in recent years by reason that their race or nationality prevailed in these sections, but sole ly by reason of their military force. That has been the cause of the end less wars in the Balkans, for people are never satisfied when their race is ignored and they are attached to foreign conqueror by force"
 Professor Andreade, referring to the Balkan map, showed ho wthe re- adjustment of Balkan boundaries. based on nationalities, would inter- pose two barriers to Germanic expan- sion, toward Asia inor and the Orient, one the Greek zone across Thrace, and another the Serb-Rumanian link of territory which lies as a dam between Hungary and Bulgaria This Serb Rumanian link is only fifty miles across, but with Rumania getting the Banat region, to which Professor An dreade says she is entitled by the prin- ciple 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- cepted by the Entente powers
