Ardennes, the Meuse and Murthe-et-MoseM, Bel glum and Luxemburg, the Nether lands, Denmark. : the Russian Baltic provinces, which have already large German populations, and probably Rus- inn Poland. Vromlae SMllr Broken. The German government did. Indeed, say that It Intended to evacuate Bel glum as soon as the military situation made It possible, and Holland and Den mark have been merely alarmed with out actually being threatened. Judging, however, from what the fatherland's rifler and his advisors undoubtedly would consider the neces sities of their situation, observers of continental affairs were convinced that Belgium would remain a German prov ince, and that means would be found of Involving Holland and Denmark In the conflict before the time came for talk of a settlement. From France and Russia, as having fought the 'Teutons, the demand for territorial indemnity would be natural. What Austria Would XUce. In addition to this. It was taken for granted that Austria would get Ser vla, Montenegro, Albania, and possibly the Russian province of Bessarabia, and from Roumania, which while not yet In arms, has sympathized with Russia the Moldavian country. Just as Germany declared it had no thought of taking territory from Bel glum, Austria announced when it de clared hostilities, that it had no de signs against Servla's integrity. It was considered certain, however, that the general war would be regard ed as having wiped out these pledges. Bulgaria, being already pro-Austrian, It was thought might expect to re main unmolested. Turkey Hot to Be Disturbed. Turkey also, which, though it has thus far remained neutral, has pas sively i favored Germany, was also deemed likely to continue undisturbed. Greece, however, as a friend of the Brltlsh-French-Russlan-Servlan combi nation, was considered likely to lose to Austria, sooner or later, a part at least of the territories it wrested from the sultan. With Italy also, for having failed Jto join the Teutons in arms, though bound to them by a treaty alliance. It was believed there would also be a stern reckoning which probably would cost tt at least two or three northern provinces.-; ; After British Colonies. So fir as Great Britain Is concerned, 1 Germany was thought tocovet not so much a foothold on the British isles as a share of the nations' colonial pos sessions. Even in the event of a continental victory, it could not obtain this while the British retained control of the seas, MAYOR OF THE ROUND-UP? CITY IS VERY ILL 1?
