 HO" iHquiFI StdTlcu.
 The inquiry, the geographical so- l ciety's statement said. grew out of | conference between President Wilson | and Colonel House in September, 1917. | It was soon evident that the scope of | the investigation would demand not | only a personnel of size and quality hitherto unknown in any such work, but headquarters from safety from | enemy activity for secret documents must be assured. This problem was solved when the American Geographi- cal society placed its building and part of its staff, including it's director, at the disposal of the inquiry without cost.
 The cartographic force of the Amer ican Geographical society, augmented \ by government aid, began map making program hitherto without precedent in this country, all work being carefully drawn from the latest and best sources. Maps were made to visualize not only all manner of territorial boundaries. but distribution of peoples. number and local densities of populations, religions, economic ac- tivities, distribution of material re- sources. trade routes, both historic and potential, strategic points, etc.
 Most Complete Maps.
 A series of base maps and block diagrams, the most nearly accurate in existence was prepared by the society, bearing upon all the geographical problems of the war and peace.
 Upon these base maps the peace ..r may immediately have a map showing new state lines, ethnic boundaries, a rectified frontier, or a distribution of any sort; and at the signing of the treaty of peace complete record of the new map of Europe.
 Information grouped by the inquiry has been so carefully classified, di- vided, and sub-divided, the society state, that it will be instantly avail. able. It includes political history, emphasizing the rights of minority peoples in cosmopolitan populations; international law, with a groundwork for bringing this subject up to date; diplomatic history, including that of the present war. economies, geo. graphy. economic and political; phys iography with special attention to strategic frontiers and topographic barriers; cartography (map-making from all viewpoints), education and irrigation.
 Transport Huge Library.
 In addition to this library the peace commissioners will have at their com mand hundreds of books and maps from the American Geographical so- ciety. Harvard and Princeton uni versailles. Haverford college, the library of congress and the New York public library, which have been trans ported overseas. Similar inquiries. it was stated, | have been progress abroad, notably in France and England. and there ! have been frequent conferences be- tween these and the American investi- gators for delivery of material and Z interchange of views.
