of tba German empire. But tbe British
empire holds that tbe greater part of

mistakably belongs to France,
In tba Baikana, adjuatmeat of terri
torial boundaries la held by Oreat Brit-
kin to bo a problem tor decision -of the

of lines of nations to be drawn on tba

could never' come to an agreement
among themaeives.
