CHANGES IN MAP
OF WORLD COMING
HOW BOUNDARIES WILL BE AD-
JUSTED BY WARS TERMINATION
NO MORE TERRITORY FOR THE
UNITED STATES.
BY CARL d. GRoAT,
United Press Staff Correspondent.

United Press Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, September 10.-Tc
offset the menacing possibilities in
the Russian situation and to force Ger
many into peace more rapidly, the al
lies probably will soon undertake a
new anti-Austrian campaign.
Strong pressure is being exerted on
this government to declare war against
Austria, and so aid in downing her, sc
that Germany would be without hel
help and cut off entirely from Turkey
and Bulgaria. Thus far, American off.
cials, including Secretary Lansing
have seen rather imminent possibility
Of war between Austria and the United
States, though they have been inclined
10 let Austria take the initiative.
Just what form the new anti-Aus
trian activities may take is shielded as
military secret, though apparently il
will come by way of Italy or through
more forceful tactics in the near
east.
Meanwhile, allied diplomats are look
ing forward to post -bellum territor-
ial lines. They decare that German
lutocracy must be wiped out, and thai
nations must be allowed to develop
along free lines, without the threat o.
t'rlssianism upon them.
This is how the allies propose to re
ADJUST the Eusopean map.
France to have Alsace-Lorraine a
part Of the German colonies and q
French protectorate over Syria.
England to retain most of the Ger
man colonies without paying for them
and TO control Mesopotamia and the
Sinai peninsula.
Russia to control Armenia under an
antogomous form OF government. In
eidcntally pressure is upon Russia tc
rnake her demand for possession of the
Turk capital. or at least naturalization
of the Dardanelles.
Germany to eyacuate Russian Pol
and and the Baltic provinces, as well
as Serbia, Belgium and northern
France.
Italy to have Trieste, the Istrian
peninsula, the Dalmatian islands and
the eastern coast of the Adriatic.
Serbia to have Bosnia and Herzego-
vina and a Jugo-Slav state to be form
el out Of the Judo-slav provinces OF
Austria.
Formation of free Poland and a
free Czecho-Slav state; liberation OF
Arabs from Ottoman rule.
The foreging has not been agreed to
the United States. which government
has indicated it will not interfere in
the settlement of questions purely Eu-
ropean.
Allied diplomats explained today that
the proposed liberation of subject ma
nationalities in Austria would not nee
essarily constitute dismemberment OF
tie Austrian-Hungarian empire, if il
still retains an outlet TO the sea
through such port of Fiume. How
the United States would view this point
however, is another question.
It is admitted that Austria-Hungary
is the greatest national incongruity in
the world and will offer, perhaps, the
hardest problem in the coming settle
ment. It is likely, however, that the
peoples of the subject nationalities
will be given an opportun-
ity to declare where they stand, in
which case territorial re-adjustments
in Europe, whatever their result may
be, Will be the direct reflex of the will
of the people themselves.

eventually forming the backbone of

+ in The light of German history the
plan shows how implicitly the kaiser
has followed out the blood and iron

MEN IN THE U. S. SUBJECT
TO SELECTIVE CONSUMPTION

Washington, D. c., May 21.-Ac-
cording to a statement issued today
by Director Sam L. Rogers, Of the
Bureau of the Census, Department Of
Commerce, there are estimated to be
in the United States at the present
time, in round numbers, 100000
men between the ages Of q and 80,
inclusive. This number represents
very nearly 10 per cent of the esti-
mated population Of the country
between 1O3,0eO,OO0 and 104,000,000.
The table below shows, for the
United States, for the States, and for
the leading cities, the numbers of
males between the ages of q and 80,
inclusive, on that date and on July
/, 1917. The figures in the latter col
umn are estimated on the assumption
that the annual numerical increase
since 1910 in each state and city has
been the same as the average annual
numerical increase between 1900 and
1910.

M. Tereschtenko in his statement Of
the policy of free Russia as outlined
in the declaration Of the provisional
government strongly emphasized the
need of an indissoluble union With the
allied democracies and the conscious
ness of the duty these ties impose
fupon her.
There are two new facts IN the
war" declared he, "the Russian rev.
olution and the entry Of the United
States. A new start must be made
from these facts and free Russia
