One . fraction or the subject races will seek to join with the major portions; of their respective races out side thedual monarchy f the other will seek absolute Independence based upon the complete unification of their race, which is now a portion of, the Austro Hungarian empire. - . Many Baee Seek Liberation The races which desire to -join their kinsmen outside the . Hapeburg empire are the Poles of Galtcla, the Roumanians of the Bukovina, the Banat and TransyL vanta, the Jugo-Slavs of Camlola, Dal matia, Croatia. -Slavonla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Italians of the Tren tlno, Trieste and the coast landa These desire, respectively, to unite with Poland, Roumania, Serbia and Italy. Any other solution will be out of accord with the desires of the people and in conflict with the principles affirmed by all the allied nations and the wise policy for the future, which must look to the erection of strong states across Germany's path way of aggression. " In addition, the Czecho-Slovaks of Bohemia, Moravia and the highlands of northern Hungary have already de clared their independence and seek to erect a new state. Their legitimate am bition has' already been approved both by our allies and by ourselves. Equally unqualified approval has been bestowed upon the -Polish aspirations, both with respect of the Poles of Austria and Russia, and also those of Germany. Dual Monarchy May Disappear Such a transformation will leave two well-defined groups of subjects of the Emperor Charles, who should also be permitted to follow- their own desires. These are some 1,000,000 of German and 10,000.000 of Hungarians, It the Hungarians persist' in their demand for Independence, then they naturally will be permitted to erect a new Magyar state, which will include all the prop erly , Hungarian - districts .of the dual Monarchy. Almost inevitably the Aus trian Germans will : thereafter " rravl- tate to ; the German empire, in which they logically would constitute one more state, like Bavaria and Wurtemberg. Germany would thus acquire consider able new territory, and add S.000.000 of Germans to her population, which would more, than compensate for any sacrifices made In Alsace-Lorraine or- Prussian Poland.- - .: . On the . other hand, before this hap pens, a desperate fight-will be made both by the Austrian Germans and the Magyars to preserve some fraction .of their ' old control over subject traces. hitherto treated and regarded by them A Williams avenue car collided with the ".rear of an Irvingtott -car ' near the east approach of the Steel bridge early this morning.
