GEOGRAPHIC LINES
OF EUROPE CHANGE
TENTATIVE PLANS TAKE FROM
THE HUNS THE IRON, STEEL
AND COAL MINES.
FRANCE IS The BIG GAMER
Will Get AIsace-Lorraine and Part of
Brey and Saar vaIleys-West
Bank of Rhine Made Impo-
tent for Military Use.

Paris.-A new map of Europe is
rapidly taking form and within week
the frontiers of the old states will
largely be defined as they appear in
the peace treaty and the successive
documents fixing territorial limits.
First in Importance is Germany's
western frontier bordering on France
which assumes international slgnifi-
canoe as a barrier against renewal of
the present war.
Owing to the issues involved final
determination of this question is left
to the council of the great powers,
but in the meantime the tentative
plans have been well advanced by the
commission, which coordinates re-
ports on all frontier questions.
AS it now stands the western from
tier comes under three main heads
first, Alsace-Lorraine; second, the
great iron and coal regions of Briey
and the Saar valley, and, third, the
extensive strip of German territory
lying on the west bank of the Rhine
France to Get AIsace-Lorraine.
With respect to Alsace Lorraine the
present tendency is to make recess
sion of this section to France without
any condition of a plebiscite or other
wise.
The Briey and Saar valley sections
are chiefly important as furnishing
iron, steel and coal, on which Ger
many's military power was based, and
it is believed the new line will def
nitely put an end to any further use
of these sources of German power
Part of the Briey and Saar sections
will become French by the return of
Lorraine.
The main difficulty has been over a
large section of the Saar coal fields
lying beyond Lorraine and within Ger
man territory. The present idea seems
to be somewhat between annexation

Saar region would be neither French
nor German, but would occupy pc
sition somewhat similar to the Dis
trict of Columbia among the American
states. It's productive capacity would
doubtless go to France, but politically
its 100000 inhabitants would not be
subject to CONSUMPTION or military
service either to France or Germany
and would not elect delegates to the
legislative body of either country.
Concerning the region along the
west bank of the Rhine the present
tendency is toward some form O.
sterilization which would render
this impotent for German militar.
uses without giving ii definite pc
litical status toward either side. Thi;
probably would be accomplished b.
the same means as in the Saar re
gion.
This, on broad lines, is the presen
plan, which, however, is only tenta
tive, pending final action by the coun
Gil of the great powers.
