Sept. 4. (Correspon dence of the ASHodute I'resa.) If Ihe Turk I to leave Kurope. at the entente allies have required In their war terms, then there la a well-denned belief In the Italian that two result will occur of high Import ance to Greece and all Kurope: Flrat That the Greek Inevitably will succeed the Turk throughout Thrace and In the whole region down to the Dardenelles and the Boaphorul. Second That a new aone of ter ritory friendly to the entente will thus be stretched horlxontally straight across the Balkan aa a bar rier to the German dream of making the Balkan a German highroad to the Orient. ' 1 Profeaaor lAndreade of the Uni versity of Athena, one of the fore moat authorities on International af fairs relating to the Balkans, holds this view, and. In the' course of a talk today he explained how these two results' would naturally come about In the final peace adjustment. by reason of the principle of nation alities now accepted by the entente allies as a basis for territorial re adjustment. Professor Andreade who la a spe cialist on the extent of Greek cltl- xenahlp beyond the Oreek frontier In Macedonia and the other Bal kans, In Turkey, Syria nd Asia Minor pointed out the great pre dominance of the Greeks In the re gion to be evacuated by the Turks if they are to leave Europe. The whole vilayet, or province, of Adrlanople, extending from the Balkans down to Constantinople, he declared, la aa much Greek' aa It la Turk and with the Turk out It la practically all Greek. "Even Con stantinople," he said, "la a Greek city the Urgent of Greek cities with a popplatlon of 350,000 Greeks. That give an Idea of the extent of Greek cltltenshlp In all thla section down to the straits, which will have to be considered, on the basis of nationality and race, when the Turk leaves Europe. "That Is why I say. "added Prof. Andreade, "that If the Turk I to withdraw, the principle of national Itjr which recognises the racial con dition of a community, will lead to world aerlea of other year.

Thus far, the principle of nationality haa been Ignored and violated in all Balkan settlements, and force haa prevail ed. Austria and Bulgaria have not oorupled any of the territory an nexed In recent yeara by reason that their race or nationality prevailed In theae aectiona, but solely by rea son of thelf military force. That has' been the cause of the endless wars In the Balkan, for people are never satisfied when their ' race Is Ignored and they are attached to a foreign conqueror, by force." Professor Andreade, referring to the Balkan map, showed how the re adjustment of Balkan boundaries, based on nationalities, would Inter pose two barriers to Germanic ex pansion toward Asia Minor and the Orient, one, the Greek tone . across Thrace, and another the Sorb-Roumanian link of territory which lies as a dam between Hungary and Bul garia. Thla Serb-Roumanian link Is only 50 miles across, but with Roumanian getting. the Bannt re gion, to which Proreasor Andreade saya she is entitled by the principle of nationality, this entente link will be 150 miles across. "And thus entente Europe can accomplish what it chiefly seeks in the Balkans," said Professor 'An dreade, "friendly entente xones In tercepting the natural route of Ger manic expansion toward the Orient, and, this can ihe accomplished, not by force, but by the principle of na tionality 'now accepted by the en tente powers."
