that, cat all events, the Board have
very properly resolved to apply the

should not fear to encounter if his ac-
counts are sans reproche." The suit
instituted against Mr.. Weber is civil
one, based upon the simple ground
OF his failure to turn over to his sue
cessor In Office vouchers for the school
funds which have passed through his
hands. Admitting, for argument, that
Mr.. Weber's accounts are not correct
what better or more equitable adjust
ment. thereof could be made by the
court before which the action ia
brought than by a committee of arbi-
traitors with, say, Mr.. Lusher as UNI

trary, the preference should, we be-
iieve, lie with the committee. The.
School Board claims money from Mr..

ton OF competent parsons represent

and to acept their decision as final.

THE RUSSO-TURKIsH WAR.
Continued from Aris No. 46.)

In our last article, continuing the oue-
line of events which have led to the war,
we left the Government of the new Sultan,
Murad ", demanding explanations from
Servia, and off ring six weeks suspension
of hostillties to the insurgents and we
stated that while the insurgents declined
to accept the armistice, the Servian govern
ment answered the Turkish demand in
a conciliatory manner. 1t soon became
evident that this mill reply on the part
of ServiA WAS merely meant to gain time f;
for on the 1st Of July Prince Mia" dcolOr
ed war against Turkey, alleging that be
was compelled to assist the oppressed
kinsmen CT his subjects. On the following
day Prince Nitika of Montenegro also
declared war, stating that he could no
longer bear the oppression OF the Herze-
goyinians, that it was vain to hope for any
reforms on the part OF the Porte, and that
he did not feel called upon to resist any
longer the wishes of his people. At the
same time the difficulties of the Ottoman
government were increased by the rising
of the Christians Of Albania.
The whole population of Servia does
not amount to d million and a half, while
that of Montenegro is not more than the
eighth of that number; but it must be
borne in mind that their troops fought
with the advantage Of important foreign
help ia the Russian volunteers and officers;
and that their cause was aided by large
money contributions from their friends oil
over Europe. Notwithstanding these adj
vantages, the war, on the part OF Servia
at least, was a failure. Ia the first dash
of enthusiasm all went we'll but soon the
tide turned, and the Turkish army follow
ed the retreati9g Servians down the valley
Of the Morava river which runs through
the heart of the country from south to
north and enters the Danube. That the
Turks did not follow up their advantages
SO promptly as might have been expect
ed was probably owing to the threatening
attitude Of Russia. Whether from this
or some other cause, the war fingered
on till the end of October. Let US
review the attitude of the European
Powers during the contest. The Emperors
of Austria aud Russia had met personally
at the very beginning of the war ION the
sth of JULY and it was generally under
stood that they had agreed to let the
combatants fight it out. Further on.
when it became evident that Servia could
not succeed, Great Britain proposed that
peace should be restored on the UNDER
standing of returning to the state of things
before the war; but the proposal was
not acceptable to either party. In the
meantime another revolution took place IN
