What Others Say.
nHE ORIENTAT, TROURI1E

T)ElE ORIENTAL TROUBLE.
If the Oriental troubles does moth
ing else 1t may be the means of our
brushing up a Llittle geography and
lhistory-two of the most interesting
subjects IN the world. It is hard to
imagine anything more interesting
than how many lives and the nature
of the country in which he lives.
The easiest way TO understand for
eign geography is to compare it with
our own country-with objects with
(which we are familiar. China, for
instance, is about the size of the Unit
ed States and Mexico and Central
America, Siberia, which belongs to
Russia lies along the northern bound
ary OF China just as Canada does
ialong the northern border of the
United States.
Corea occupies a position relative
TO China about like Florida and Ala
hama do to the rest of the United
states. 1t shuts or much of the rest
ision, call Corea, Alabama and Flor
ida-which arc together about the
should be understood, is sort of in
dependent nation, with Japan in con-
troll OF 1t just as we are now in
control in Cuba.
Manchuria Is part of China. 1t
Is about the size of and occupies the
same relative position as Georgia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir-
sinia, Maryland Pennsylvania, New
York and all of the New England
states. I shuts off much OF the rest
of China from the sea, and Is there
fore very important part of China.
Japan Is about the size OF Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and West
Virginia. 1t is long and narrow, and
extends In sort of half moon shape
from, say the southern point OF Flor
| ida up to Maine. At what would be
the Florida or southern end 1t is on
| ly couple of hundred miles from
lCorea, but up toward the north II Is
some five or six hundred miles from
the mainland Of Manchuria.
Now, the most southern point OF
Siberia is at Vladivostok, where 1t
is so cold that the port is frozen al
most half OF the year. At this time
1t is the only seaport outlet for the
vast territory of Siberia, and owing
10 the ice for so long part OF the
year, it is not a desirable port. Russia
wants port that is Ice free the year
lround and years ago she began figur-
ling upon getting a foothold in Man

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.
(By Herbert j. lIapgood.)

Don't wait to be told. Act on
your own initiative, and make

it. Don't wait for the next man,
but you yourself perform the act.

the credit.
to carry out the orders of Others,
and it is only when the unexpected
happens that they are forced to
be Independent and made to stand
on their own originality 81 attri-
butte my start in life to one day
when my boss went to the circus"
said a successful merchant. ''He
left explicit instructions regarding
every detail of the business. My
opportunity arrived, however, when
the building next door caught fire,
and had to direct the work OF
protecting our goods. The boss had
never told me what to do in case
OF fire. and for the first time I'm
my life had to act on the initia-
tiye.'
II takes a good man TO execute
another'S plans, but the nran who
makes his own plans is a genius.
BE original If envy is ignorance,
then initiation IL suicide. and the
man who waits to be told what to
do next will never be in a position
to direct the work of Others.
Depend neither on your employer
nor on your fellow employee to
IsClYe the problems arising in ev-
Iery day business. Better make a
break than not TO make anything,
Trust yourself and don't he a
coward, pinched in the corner of

The Kaiser is also Che Sultan's
'apologist in the matter of the charter
for the Novibazar Railway. Austrian
writers have not always concealed
that in their view the Sorajevo-Vise-
lgrad line, which is to be built
through Novibazar, was aimed at the
military control of Salonica. No
American railroad man need be told
that a narrow guage, high-gradient
line of single track will not powerful
ly compete with water transportation
of through freight. 1t was to pro-
test against this great coup by its
rival in the Near East that Russia
for time talked OF war. But war
agetngt both Turkey and Austria
with Germany in sympathy was out
of the question, unless aid could be
obtained. Warlike talk has now been
stopped for the moment by the report
i'm st. Petersburg that Germany has
accepted as reasonable the counter
proposition of Russia for railroad

If Macedonia were Slavic the task
