Messrs. Edward Stanford's new Peace Conference Atlas (3s.) is the

very thing that is needed to elucidate the boundary questions which are being debated so vigorously in Paris. It contains twenty-four maps, including an index map of Europe, and .deals With Europe, Asia, and the ex-German colonies. The territories

in dispute are clearly markdd, and the racial preponderance—. of Poles in Weat Prussia, for example, or Southern Slays east of the Adriatic—is indicated by patches of colour. The map of Western Asia Minor shows that M. Venizelos claimed for Greece a good deal more than the territory in which the population is mainly Greek; but of course race is not the only criterion to be considered in fixing a frontier.
