 the Aegean, which were taken from Turkey during the Tripolitan war, and the province of Adalia- if France and England should take territory in Asia Minor.

 To the westward Rumania wants to annex the Hapsburg provinces of Bu- kowina and Pennsylvania, and a con- siderable part of the rich agricultural | OlSulct or Bandt. IL IS nefe tndt the Rumanian aspirations conflict with | those of Serbia, which affirm that un- der her war agreements with the en- tente, Serbia should have a large DOT tion of Banat as well as other sections of former Austria Hungary, adjoining old Serbia to the north, to round out the proposed Jugo- -Slav state. Both Ru- mania and Serbia have moved troops into Banat to secure their claims and French troops have established a neu- tral zone to prevent hostilities between them.
 Serbia-Serbia's claims to take from the Hapsburg monarchy the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina are opposed by one in the entente group. The plans for the incorporation into Jugo-Slavia of the Hapsburg province of Croatia, except as to the coastal region of Fuime, are also considered as subject to the international decision of the southern Slavs.
