CROPS
(By United Press)
Washington, Aug. 6. The Allies
hare come to full agreement as to
the remodeling of Europe's wr map
after the war.
Taking territory here and straight
ening lines there, they intend to have
such restorations as will tend toward
International peace.
While Germany dreams of "Mlt
teleurope" Middle Europe running
Irom the North Sea to Bagdad under
Teuton dominion the Allies have
:agreed that war shall continue until
this dream vanishes.
The first of the Allies proposals
s to restore stricken Belgium. Then
France is to have Alsace-Lorraine.
Constafctinople is to be International
ized. Turkey is to be ousted from Eu
rope the Grecian boundary is to be
shoved northward while Greece wilt
also get some islands near her in the
Mediterranean. Italy wiil have Trent
and Trieste, some straightening of
her northern border and a small slice,
of territory across tno Adriatic. Cre
tla and Bohemia will be made inde
pendent states, while roland will be
established as an independant terri
tory as a buffer between Germany
and Russia.
It is further proposed to divide
Austria Hungary into two states.
These readjustments are not based
on conquest but on the determination
that the peoples shall live in states
of their own nationality and not un
der an unwelcome yoke.
The Allies will not return the German-African
colonies on account of
the tyrranny there.
