Germany must surrender her dreams
of complete domination of the Danube

there during the period of occupa-
ton. Austria must give up such ter
ritory as was wrested from Rumania
in the treaty of Bucharest. The
Dobrudja never will be permitted to
remain in the hands of Bulgaria, as
was arranged by the same treaty.
Poor little Serbia. the oppressed, the
overrun, will be restored, but to limits
approximating the dreams of centu..
ries. Serbia the old will be created
and millions Of Serbian peoples who
long have fretted under the CALLING
yoke of Austria will be united once
more about their own national hearth
stone. Again Austria will be forced
to surrender territories of vast dimen-
sion that Serbia may be rejuvenated
and nationalistic dreams of all SERB
peoples realized. Undoubtedly allied
representatives will ask the central
powers to pay in cash for their depre-

Montenegro must be restored to full
powers. There must be no entangling
influences and always Austria will be

territory in order to make way for the
organization of the Jugo-Slav nation.
Austria likewise will lose dominions
when the separate and Independent
Czecho-Slovak government is estab-

committed.
AS to Turkey This power will bs
