NEW HIGHWAYS FOR
LOWER CALIFORNIA

SAN DIEGO, Cal. Aug Coon
tinuing his announced policy of pro-
viding Lower California as soon as
possible with a system of fine high
ways that will compare favorably
with those to be found anywhere in
the United States, Governor Estaban
Cantu of Lower California, Mexico.
is now engaged in the construction
of a new road from Tia Juana to
Ensenada.
The new highway, 1t is stated.
will be 81 miles in length against a
distance of 80 miles that has to be
travelled between the two cities over
the present highway. This shorten
ing of the distance has been ac-
complished by the elimination of
many Of the roundabout grades.
The type of road being constructed
is the same as the fine military
highways between Tia Juana and
Mexicali, and Mexicali and Ense-
NADIA.
Three forces of men, it is stated,
are now at work. One crew Is
working south from Tia Juana, an
other north from a point near En-
|senada and the third crew is en-
gagged about midway between tao
two cities. 1t is the governors N
|tention to complete and open the
highway for traffic by January !,
next.

four STATES
Continued From Page One)

ty, the creation Of a corridor between
Dantzig and Bromberg on the left
bank OF the Vistula, offered even
greater difficulties since it gave Po-
land an indefensible strip of territory
separating two masses of German
population and restored the conditions
which had led to the first partition.
After many long debates, the Allies
have, it appears, taken the bull by the
horns and accepted the only logical
solution. West Prussia and East Prus-
STA are to be Polish. The German
facade on the Baltic is to be abolished
and 100000 of Poles totally inside
this facade are to have the breathing
space essential to their national ex-
istence.
Includes Russian Poland.
Thus constituted, Poland will con-
sist of all of Russian Poland, practic-
ally all of the old Prussian provinces
of East and West Prussia and Posen,
a relatively small strip of Prussian
Silesia valuable because of its great
mineral wealth, and rather more than
half of the Austrian Province of Cali
cia. including Lemberg. 1t will also
include the old Wilma and Grodno.
Thus constituted, Poland will have a
population of between 25,000,000 and
30,000,000 of people, at least three
fourths of them Poles, and an area
Of between 100000 and $4,000 square
miles. In word, it will have an area
approximately equal to that of the
modern Italian kingdom with a popu-
lation in excess Of that of Italy at the
moment when the Savoy monarchy
achieved its unity in the nineteenth
century.
The second of the states to be re-
created, that of Czecho-Slovakia, pre-
sents less formidable problems. b.
hernia and Moravia with Austrian ST.
lesia, were a well defined area and
Bohemia as an Austrian province pre-
served the frontiers it had enjoyed
before the Thirty Years War deprived
it of it's independence. The single
serious question was as to German
populations inhabiting the frontier
districts. These populations would
naturally choose to be German rather
than Slav, but were they surrended
to Germany, the new state would be
deprived of all it's natural frontiers, all
the gateways to its territory would be
in enemy hands. In this situation
again the Conference of Paris has TAX
en- the logical course. 1t is resolved
to preserve the historic frontiers of
the Czechs. To these Austrian prov
inces 1t will add the Slovak countries
of Hungary lying in tangled mass Of
hills which constitute the south shore
of the Carpathians. echoSlovakia
thus constituted will be a state with
an area of rather more than 10000
square miles, that is about four times
the size of Belgium, with population
of between 100000 and 100000.
1t will be perhaps the most curious
state in Europe, extending from the
new Roumanian frontier into the very
heart of Germany, having the general
outline of the observation balloon
which the soldiers named sausage"

German masters, we shall have at
least four races, with their own insti-
tutions, their own organizations, only
looking to the western powers alike
for inspiration on the intellectual side,
assistance on the material side, and
and on the military side. II Germany
resumes her old course, millions Of
Poles, Czechs, Roumanians and South
ern Slavs will be, in the nature Of
things, allied with the Western Pow
ers and not form large fraction of
Germany's military resources in her
attacks.
Outlines Of New Europe,
A hundred years ago, when Europe
liquidated the Napoleonic wars, its
greatest concern was to erect substan-
tial barriers against return of
France. To do this, she put Prussia
on guard on the Rhine, transferred
Belgium to Holland, sacrificed all the
considerations Of humanity and JUS
tlce in the East to preserve an alli-
ance between Austria, Prussia and
Russia which should be capable of cop
ing with France. The result of this
policy was at last revealed in the re-
cent war. The subject nationalities
supplied Germany and Austria with
the capacity for attacking Western
civilization. The first problem today
must be to guard against Germany as
that of 1915 was to take measures
against France, and today the Confer
ence at Paris is seeking to combine
security with recognition of the
rights of the smaller races, and these
four nations represent the real and
practical results of nearly three
months work at Paris. Minor modi-
fications may still come, but on the
whole with these plans adopted the
outlines Of the new Europe which is
to come forth as a consequence Of the
recent war are now plain.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-04-05

her share of Dalmatia for the wholly
Italian town of Fiume, which was not
included in the regions guaranteed to
her by the Allies, but constitutes an
unmistakable fraction of Italian IRE
denta.
Population SIavonic.
The new Jugo Slavic state will
then have an area approximately as
great as that of Poland and of Italy
herself, with a population of between
100000 and 100000. This popu-
lation will be almost without excep-
ton Slavonic, made up of three
branches of the Southern Slav family,
the Slovins in the north, the Croats in
the center, and the Serbs in the south.
1t will offer an opportunity for COM
mercial advancement and there is ev-
cry reason to look forward to the
rapid development of still another
considerable nation in Europe if only
the present jealouSies between the
Slav and the Italian can be removed.
Less formidable than the task of
creating a new Jugo Slavia and new
Poland or even a new Czecho- Slavonia,
is the task of extending Roumania to
include the Roumanians dwelling in
Russia, Austria and Hungary. These
Roumanians made a solid block of
something like 100000 of people
Today the frontiers have been re-
drawn to include all but minor frac-
ton.
AS it has been rebuilt, Roumania
will consist in addition to the old
kingdom of the Russian province of
complete, and more than
two-thirds of the Hungarian province
of the Banat, one county of which aft
er some dispute has been allotted to
Servia as well as corner about the
city of Szegedin, which has been al
lotted to Hungary. In addition, it is
probable that many minor divisions of
Hungary, inhabited by Roumanians,
will be included within the new from
tiers. AS it is delimited, the new Rou-
mania will have an area of 1885, 900 to
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-04-05

but despite this strange confguration
it's population will be almost solidly
Slav.
Difficulty Yet UnsoIved.
The third of the states to be created
is that of the Jugo Slavs. Here sin
gle difficulty had to be faced, and has
not yet been fully resolved. From the
Alps to the Danube, the brave river
constituted natural frontier which
substantially divided the Germans
from the Slovins in the West and the
Hungarians from the Serbs in the
East. Minor notifications to take in
outlying Serb fractions beyond the
brave, the Danube and the Thesis
have been made, but substantially the
northern frontiers of Jugo Slavia will
be the Brave and the Danube from the
new Italian frontiers at Trieste and
the old Bulgarian frontiers at Widin.
On the east, the old Serbian frontier
will be maintained. Along the Adriat-
ic, with two exceptions, the sea sup
plies the natural frontier, but in Dali
malta and about Fiume and Trieste,
Italian and Jugo-Slavic aspirations
clashed and this clash has supplied
one of the most difficult questions of
the whole conference.
The difficulties were enhanced by
the fact that the moment when Italy
entered the war, the French and Brit
ish government had guaranteed to
Italy not only the possession of Tries
tie with the Slav Hinterland, but also
the possession of the northern half
of Dalmatia, and most of the Adriatic
islands. Whatyer may be the justice
of the Italian claims as to Istria, there
is no mistaking the fact that the great
mass of the people of Dalmatia are
not merely Slav, but determined to
become part of the new Jugo Slavic
state. At the present moment the
problems remains to be settled, but
there is growing belief that a COM
promise will be reached by which
Italy while retaining the Adriatic isl
ands will exchange most if not all of

SMITH ASKS new
CONTRACT TO Be.
LET FOR BRIDGE.
Contractor Asks Relief From
Present Terms Charging
Potential Loss of $27, 1000.

Isaac E. Smith, contractor for the
Main street bridge, is facing a poten-
tial loss of $4,000 on the bridge I'M
less he is given relief under a law just
passed by the state legislature, by
which contractors and builders may
be reimbursed for increased cost of
building due to the war, he says in
petition which will be presented to the
county commissioners Monday.
Smith asks that he be paid for the
work already done at the contract
price, released from the present con-
tract and bids asked for the compile
ton of the bridge II this is done, he
said, the work can be speeded up and
the bridge completed this summer
Labor has advanced, lumber once
worth SIS per thousand feet is S45 per
thousand, freight rates have almost
doubled, cement costs s cents barrel
more, hardware and tools are worth
rs percent more, says the petition, and
insurance has also gone up.
Building Held Up.
The building of the bridge was held
up by shortage OF labor, inefficiency
of the labor secured, and embargoes
on materials by the government. 1t
was impossible, says Smith, to COM
plete the bridge when specified, and
to have attempted to do so would
have bankrupted him, or he would
have had to turn the contract back to
the county.
Smith filed a petition in the office of
the auditor today asking that he be
given relief from his present contract,
and that new contract be let by the
county commissioners on the basis of
the increased cost of labor and mate
rails.
The petition will be presented to
the commissioners at their meeting
Monday when a date will be fixed for
hearing the petition. County Auditor
Brooks thought the date of hearing
would be Saturday, April 26.

10000 square miles, which is approx
imately the same as that of Poland
and Jugo Slavia, with population of
between 100000 and 15,000,00O, a
population which, given the Rouma-
MAN capacity for increase, will doubt
less pass the 100000 mark within a
generation.
Restore Power Balance.
1t remains to glance at the new
Hungary, which will be left after the
outlying regions inhabited by Slovaks
and Southern Slavs and Roumanians
have been subtracted. This state will
have between $4,000 and $4,000 square
miles of area, and poplation of be-
tween 100000 and 100000, which
will be purely Magyar and include by
far the greater number Of the Mag
vars.
Such, in sum, is the new map of
Europe as it has been made up to the
present moment. The Conference of
Paris has decided to create four COM
paratively considerable states, three
of them large as modern Italy, out Of
territories acquired by Germany, Rus
STA and Austria, in past centuries by
suppressing the liberties of the races
inhabiting these lands. In the new
European system and in the League
of Nations these four powers will play
a considerable part. In measure
they will restore the balance of power
in Europe destroyed when Russia col
lapesed under German attack. Com
bined, they will constitute a perma-
nent and formidable obstacle to the
German conception of Mittel Europa.
