Turkey is sufficient to show the i'm
manse gulf separating them.


London, Dec. 16.-Concerning the
Austro-Servian controversy the Bal
kan delegates think it the result Of
Austrian blum, They say:
vienna, having seen her tradi-
tional program Of gradually extend
ing through the Balkan states to
Salonikl completely wrecked has
tried to counterbalance the bad Ell
feet it has had at home by clamor-
ing that Albania must be autono-
nous, according to the Austro-Ital-
ian agreement concluded in 1907
Therefore, neither Greece nor Ser
via can occupy the Albanian Adri-
actic coast, much less Servia, as
Servia means Russia"
"What does Montenegro repre-
sent?" asked one Of the delegates,
laughing with its ports at Antivari
and Duicigno, to which Scutari wi |
soon be added it being no mystery
to anybody that the small kingdom
can be considered almost as a Rus
sian province. and the Montenegro
army as a contingent of the Musco-
vite forces"
According to the Balkan dele
gates, Austria's increased arma-
ments and the practical mobiliza-
tion of her army are due less to the
probability of declaring war against
Servia than to the grave internal
situation in the monarchy, the I'M
rest in Hungary and the agitation
among Servians, especially in Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina, where even
those holding positions under the
Austrian government have openly
protested against the attitude of the
empire.
An additional cause for concern
is the threatening attitude of the
Slays generally througout Austrian
territory, which caused the dissolu-
ton of the municipal tiles of Sc
benco, Spalato and cara, on the
charge of being anti-Austrian.
Besides Germany, notwithstand-
ing her alliance, has exercised an
influence tending to moderate Aus
trian ardor,' say the Balkan dele
gates
Admitting, however, a coup d'etat
on the part of Austria, we certainly
know that neither Servia nor any
other of the Balkan states would be
left alone. as Russia would come to
their assistance, being today no
more the Russia of the war with
Japan, and indeed, anxious to show
what she can do in Europe.
cat the time Of the annexation Of
Bosnia and Herzegovina the Russian
Emperor himself was on the point
of sending an ultimatum to Austria,
which would have led to war, but
he was prevented from so doing
through the friendly intervention
Of King Edward. 1t will be retort-
ed that Germany would support Aus
tria against Russia, but in this case
France would be forced by the Rus
so-Frenah a lance to attack Ger
many.
This would mean general con-
flict which all have more interest toI
prevent than to hasten, and which
VIII not be brought about for a rela-
lively insignificant cause. such as
allowing Servia to have a strip Of,
land along the southern frontier Of
Montenegro and small stretch of
coast on the Adriatic."

Major Rogers Was Unfaithful to
u. S. and British.
Soldier Of Revolutionary Fame Given
Unfavorable Name by Friend and
Foe, According to Data of De-
troit Historian.

Detroit, Mich.-C. M. Burton, Off
cial historian of Detroit, has found
number of letters, written $50 years
ago, which prove conclusively that
Major Robert Rogers Of New Hanap-
shire, the first American soldier to
take possession of Detroit, companion
of Generals Putnam and Stark, of
Bunker Hill fame, was traitor both
to the British government, In the
French and Indian wars, and to the
colonial government, in the Revolu-
ton.
Major Robert Rogers was in CON-
nand Of body of provincial rangers
which were ordered to go west shortly
after the battle of the Plains of Abra-
ham, and take possession Of the
French posts here in the name of the
British king Putnam and Stark both
were with him on that expedition. The
| letters found by Historian Burton
| were written by Rogers when in COM
mand of the post here, to some one
named Robertson, in which plans for
selling the post 10 the French govern

Romance Of Life.

An entombed miner In an Arizona
camn was rescued from his living
grave after having been buried for
many hours He was only solitary
workman, but thousands Of persons
interested themselves in his rescue.
His story became the topic of many
newspapers during his long and per
ilous wait for the light to steal
through from the good warm sun. The
natural death Of many important citi-
zens In the same length Of time In
any one locality would not have at
tracted so much attention. Such in
stances give the imagination an OPP
portunity to play upon the common
fate of all humanity. The tragedy OF
death is inextricably interviewer with
the romance of life, and an individual
or an army in peril makes wide ap,
peal in which every unit of society
will ever participate. 1t Is only now
and then that few master builders
become SO world-weary through long
practice in dealing with generalfties
that the individual experience loses
the charm Of emphasis. 1t is thus
that theologians sometimes account
for the apparent Indifference Of Jesus
to the personal fate of John the Bap
list.

WHAT COOPERATION WILL DO
offers one of Greatest Possibilities
in Agriculture and Will Give
Farmer His Own.


Agriculture was never of so much
importance as it is today, says a
leading educational authority, and CO
operation among farmers offers one OF
the greatest possibilities of agricul-
ture. Cooperation will give the farm
ers that which they rightly earn. Den
mark has increased the well-being OF
its people wonderfully by cooperation.
1t can be done in this country. In
the last so years the food supply has
been doubled. But the yield Of every
acre has not been increased proper
tionally. The goal should be to ob-
tain the highest yield possible for
every acre without making peasants
of farm men and women.

Rogers was under suspicion when he
was transferred from Detroit to Mich
ilimackinac, but the proof of his trea-
son did not come to public light until
now. In 1776 Rogers was tried for
attempting to sell Michimilimackinac
to the Spaniards, who then controlled
the upper part of the old Louisiana
territory, but was acquitted.
He then went to the Barbary states
and enlisted under the hey of Algiers.
When the Revolution broke out he re-
turned to America with profession
of patriotism and was given a COM

General Washington lost faith in him.
Finally he became a colonel in the
