on land applies to the whole world, but only the war-disturbed area 
is specifically considered here and that only briefly. 
1. The most central world-way of the proposed north-south group 
of Middle Europe is made to start from terminals at Saloniki on the 
Aegean Sea and to end in terminals near Memel at the mouth of the 
' Niemen on the Baltic Sea, as shown on the accompanying map. It 
follows the valleys of the Vardar and the Morava, the eastern bor- 
der of the Theiss plains, crosses the Carpathians through the Ungvar 
Pass, and follows the eastern border of the land inhabited dom- 
inantly by the Poles to its northeastern angle, beyond which it 
lies,on the border between the Lithuanians and East Prussians and 
has its terminals near Memel at the mouth of the Niemen. It is 
a nearly north-south line, well suited to furnish an avenue of egress 
and ingress for the peoples of Serbia, Bulgaria, Rumania, Hungary, 
Czecho-Slovakia, Ruthenia, Poland, White Russia, East Germany, 
and Lithuania. Just how, as a world-owned tract under control of 
a world-force and protected against threatening fortifications, this 
world-way should serve as a barrier between peoples recently in 
conflict may best be seen by consulting the map. 
2. The easternmost of the proposed north-south world-highways 
starts from terminals on the Bosphorus, runs through terminals on 
the Black Sea—whose western shore it skirts—and, following the 
valley of the Dniester, joins the preceding thoroughfare near the 
junction of what is now Galicia, Poland, and Russia. Thence 
northward it unites with the preceding to form a common trunk 
line to the Baltic. It is designed to give an avenue of egress and 
ingress for the peoples of Thrace, Bulgaria, Rumania, Ukrania, 
Ruthenia, Poland, White Russia, East Prussia, and Lithuania. 
Just how it should serve as a barrier between peoples recently at 
strife may be seen by consulting the map. 
3. The west-central line of the north-south group starts from 
Fiume and Trieste at the head of the Adriatic and runs northeasterly 
to the junction of Croatia-Slavonia, Austria, and Hungary; thence 
turning northerly it runs near the border between Hungary and 
Austria to Presburg, at the mouth of the March valley, which it 
follows northward across the land of the Czecho-Slovaks to Oppeln 
on the Oder, from which point it is made to run within the border
