The ad joining country of the Slovaks has also been detached. . The Bohemians are , Czechs and with the "Slovaks form the new tfeecho-Slovak nation, both parts being detached from Hungary. The Ruthemans form the wedge next to the Slovaks and this territory has also been taken from Hungary. . Next to the Ruthenians comes Transylvania, which likewise has been detached from old Hungary and given to Rumania. Next to Transylvania comes the Banat region, which has been detached from Austria and given to Rumania nearly to the Temes river, the remainder of Banat going to Ser- Dia. Further west the new Jugo-Slav state receives that cart of old Hun gary up to the River Drave. These changes form an almost complete cir cle, leaving new Hungary only a com pact center occupying the rich Danu- bian plain. - .
