axic new map 01 iLuiope, contain
lng alignments made within the
last year, has Just been distributed
to members of the National Geo
graphic Society as a supplement to
the magazine.
Czecho-Slovakia. bom of the Peace
of Versailles in 1918, is missing from
the 1939 map. The National Geo
graphic Magazine says:
"It has gone to join Montenegro
and other ghost countries of the
past, its four provinces administered
now by three governments. Two of
these provinces. Bohemia and Mo
ravia, are a protectorate of the Ger
man Reich; Slovakia is an independ
ent state, and Ruthenia. renamed
Carpatho-Ukraine, has been incor
porated into the territory of Hun
gry.”
The article adds:
"The boundary changes entail
changes in place names. In Bohemia
gnd Moravia the old German names
are again in vogue. Plzen once more
Is Pllsen, and Ceske Bejovice reverts
to Budweis and Ceske Slavok again
becomes Austerlitz, as it was known
when Napoleon won his greatest
Victory there.
xii oiuvHMti. urtituac ui its auton
omy, places remain the same, but in
the CRrpatho-Ukraine they become
Hungarian. Chust, for instance, is
replaced by Huszt.
"In March, 1939. Lithuania restored
the territory of Memel to Germany
and that 1,100-square-mile area is
snown on the new map with its new
political coloring.
"Albania now wearing the map
yellow of Italy, reflects its new po- j
litical status in the renaming of j
Santi Quaranta, changed to Porto
Edda. in honor of the daughter of
Premier Mussolini.
"The ceding of the Hatay Repub
lic by France to Turkey in June.
1939, increased the area of that
country by nearly 2.000 square miles
This republic, formerly part of the
Levant States, was administered by
France under a League of Nations
mandate.
"The change from French to
Turkish administration also made
necessary new place names. An
tioch. scene of St Paul's first minis
try. is now Ant aka. and Alexand
retta becomes Iskenderon.
"Many new place names appear
in Libia as the result of Italian
colonization. Marconi and D'An
nunzio are among them.
"That part of the U. S. S. R.
shown on the map . represents an
entirely new selection of place names
based on the new Soviet atlas and
recent Soviet official maps. In the
much discussed Ukraine, in the
neighborhood of Stalino, appear in
large type such new and important
names as Makeevka. Ordzhonikidze
Gorlovka and Sergo.”
The magazine points out that 173
names of towns and regions have
been changed officially since last
October.

Berlin A. P. Men
Nearly Lose Car
To German Army
By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Sept. 1.—Two crisis
tired A. P. men nearly lost their
automobile today in the German
mobilization of trucks, motorcycles
and private cars.
After an hour at the Kroll Opera
House session of the Reichstag they
found their parked car had been
stenciled front and back with the
large white letters, "W. L.”—initial
designation of the air force.
By accident they had parked in a
line of vehicles waiting to be driven
off into government service. It took
a policeman's aid and a dab of gaso
line to clean off the stencils and
set everything right.
