Dalmatia, and some more. So far as Servia acquires territory here
Bulgaria may push farther south, recovering Adrianople and more sea
coast on the Aegean.

Roumania wants Transylvania just north in Hungary, occupied by
2,500,000 people, the majority Roumanians--this will make her
10,000,000 people--and Italy wants territory from Austria and naval
ports on the Adriatic sea.

Neither Italy nor Roumania has its full war supplies and equipments.
Servia, however, has been terribly pounded by Austria and but for her
good fortune in pushing Austria back out of Servia in December, the
Roumanians with their 450,000 well-organized troops might have had to
come to her assistance earlier than was prepared for. Indeed, it is
now expected that Italy and Roumania will move against Austria within a
few weeks. Russia and the Allies are making their agreements for this
intervention.

And what does America know about these movements on the European
chessboard, and upon what basis should she aspire to be arbiter or
peace adviser?
