Big Shift in Colonial Possessions Expected to Follow 7 . When the war clouds of Europe are dispelled and the last shot in the' conflict now raging has been fired the rearrangement of boundaries boundaries and frontier lines will not be confined to the continent of Europe. Europe. With the exception of Austria-Hungary Austria-Hungary and the Russian Empire, Empire, all of the principal nations .involved .involved in the great struggle have colonial possessions, protectorates and dependencies, which are scattered scattered all over both hemispheres. The redistribution of many of these possessions consequent upon the success of the arms of either the Triple Alliance of Powers or those of the Triple Entente will entail great changes in the map of the world. The most radical changes will probably be* made in Africa, whose map presents a remarkable picture of the juxita position of protectorates protectorates and colonies belonging to Great Britain, France, - Italy, Belgium, and Germany. Great Britain's colonies and protectorates protectorates encircle the globe. France has possessions in Africa, India, China, South America, tre West Indies, the North Atlantic, the Pacific, and tht Indian oceans. Germany has colonies in Africa. China, and the Pacific Ocean. While several of the foreign holdings holdings of the powers engaged in war are without adequate _ military strength, few of the principal possessions possessions of Great Britain and France are unprotected. In Africa British interests are paramount in Egypt by agreement- with* France at the beginning of the entente. France has a protectorate protectorate over Morocco by agreement with England. Her Algerian, possessions possessions facing the Mediterranean are bounded on the east by Tripoli, an Italian dependency. On the Red Sea and contiguous to Egypt is the Italian dependency of Eritrea.

The light cruiser Amphion, which was blown up by a floating mine in the North" Sea on August 6th, was the second of that name to be blown up, and' on each occasion the loss of life was considerable. considerable. . ■ The first Amphion was a frigate of thirty-two guns, and she became quite famous in the wars of the end of the eighteenth century. She was in command of Captain Israel Pel- lew, and on September 22nd, 1796, while plying in' Plymouth harbor, she caught fire and blew up. The .cause of the accident was never placed. Captain Pellew and ten out of 312 officers, men and visitors on board were lost. It has always been customary in the British navy to perpetuate the names of vessels that win distinction, distinction, and so another Amphion was built.

When on the way to the Mediterranean Mediterranean to command the British fleet there, in 1803, Nelson shifted his flag from the Victory to the Amphion in order to save time. When he transferred again to the Victory he took Captain Hardy with him. Captain William Hoste had charge of the Amphion after that, and took part in several engagements, engagements, the most important of which was the battle off Lissa, in the Adriatic, Adriatic, when a British squadron of four vessels, the largest of only thirty-eight guns, gave battle to a fleet of ten French and Venetians. The British vessels carried in all 124 guns, against- 280 on the opposing opposing fleet. In Oa.pt. Hoste'a squadron were 886 men, against 2,500. The British were victorious, and the battle was made the subject of a famous painting, while Capt. Hoste and other officers received gold medals. medals. Before the British had an Am- phion there was a vessel, of that name in the French navy, which was captured in the battle off Osk- ant on July 27, 1778. After the second Amphion had finished her career of usefulness there was no Amphion until the cruiser was built in 1912. She could make twenty-five mile an hour, but had little opportunity to distinguish herself after she sank the.

The entire southern part of the African continent comprises the British South African union, which embraces Rhodesia, tihe Transvaal, the Orange River Colony, Natal, and "Cape Colony. On the west coast from British South A frica there are German Southwest Africa Africa Portuguese West Africa, the Belgian Congo State, French Congo Congo German Kamerun, the Nigei Territories, British protectorate ; French West Africa, German Togo- land British Gold Coast, and Ivory Coast, a French possession. It is in Africa that the most radical radical boundary changes are likely to be made after the war. Concerning the armed ■strengfcn of the colonial possession of Great Britain outside of Canada, m the union of South Africa there are about ten thousand regular troops and 75,000 auxiliary troops, including including the burghers of the Transvaal and the Orange Biver Colony. In the Empire of India there are about eighty thousand English and 165,- 000 native troops. The Commonwealth Commonwealth of Australia has a military force of 175,000 men. The French army m northern Africa Africa is about 95,000 strong, of which force 18,000 are natives. In Algeria she has. about- 25,000 men and 1/,- 1 500 in Tunis. the is Among the many engineering improvements improvements which will be seriously delayed because of the great war now in progress on the Continent, says the Electric Railway Journal, are the electrification of steam railroads railroads in Germany, France and other countries. The greatest delay may be expected in Germany, partly because because of the diversion of govern- ment funds to war purposes, and partly because of the fact that the latest electrification, that in Silesia, is close to the Russian border. In any event-, the railroads will be so overcrowded because of troop arid provendBr transportation that no such interruptions as are incident incident to a change from steam to electricity would be permitted. It is doubtful also whether the Stadt- bahn electrification will be fuithei ed in a time of such financial stress. In France, where the private-ly owned Midi Railway has taken the lead in electrification, less delay may be experienced because there is no dependence on government funds "for the change, and the lines arc at a great distance from the war zone. It is questionable, however, whether the suburban electrification electrification of Paris will be continued at this time. Russia also was reported reported to have in hand- great elecviifi- cait-ion projects which will now have to be postponed. Even if Italy, Spain, Sweden and Norway -succeed in maintaining their neutrality, the electrifications planned in those countries.will, be held up for two reasons--diversion of government funds and assignment assignment to army duty of the most- vigorous vigorous and technically trained men in the country. In general, the Continental countries give preference preference to retired soldiers for railway workers, therefore the men who would build and operate the elect-rifled elect-rifled roads are among the first re-, servi'&ts to be called back to the ~ ors.
