Montencgrin Youngsters Taught to

saria Racial Hatred Is Taught
In Public Schools.

Uzhitse, Servia.-One cannot help
wondering during wartime what the
children of the belligerent nations
think about it all. How 90 the panics,
the carnage, the firing Of guns appear
to their young minds?
1t is fairly easy to answer this Ques-
ton so far as Montenegro is concern
ed, for from the earliest age children
take the keenest interest in their ia
theirs collection Of weapons and the
dozen or so knives, pistols and other
knick-knacks he wears in his wide
belt.
A Montenegrin would be just as like
ly to go for stroll down the village
street without his entire arsenal as
Philadelphia dandy would be likely to
walk down Chestnut street without
his collar
In Spain | used to watch the chill
dren play, and here the game was in
variably bull-fghting, but in Monte
negro the only game for babies is war
to the death with the Turk
The Montenegrins are a stern race,
and the fathers, though devoted to
their children, do not believe in pam
pering them Indeed, discipline is
strictly maintained in the home.
But | shall not easily forget the face
of Prince Mirko, the second son of
King Nicholas, and the idol Of the ma

days OF each other.

Servian children are like pretty lit

summer day how they can stand the
heat.
Their manners are very pleasing
and they remind one of nice little
puppies or kittens. The Servians have
a certain regard for their offspring
without any wild devotion.
In Bulgaria one hears of horrible
massacres of babes. Only a day or
two ago Bulgarians near Rustchuk at
tackled q harmless Turkish settlement
and spared neither women nor chill
dren
But the Bulgarians set great store
by their schools, and in these schools
racial hatred Is encouraged, and even
the youngest leans that he will some
day has to struggle for mastery
with the Serb the Greek and the
Turk.
Unlike the babies Of other Slav ma
tions, the Bulgarians are not, as a
rule, beautiful. They are wooden-look-
ing, fiat faces, and are rather Mon
golian in type; but they are as hard
as nails.
Carmen Sylvia Of Roumania might
we'll be called the Children's Queen.
She adores children, and the grief Of
her life was when her little daughter
died
She has never really recovered from
losing her only child. but it has had
the effect Of making her as good as a
mother to all her young subjects.
No one will ever know the extent
Of her benevolence and charity, and
Roumanian mothers bless her name.
She interests herself especially in
the blind. and her home for blind chill
dren is perhaps the most excellent
charity of the country.

Brookings.-A legal battle will be
fought in the supreme court of the

MERLE HARRIS DIES
From Indirect Result of a
Grandstand Collapse.

Merle A. Harris, who died yesterday
afternoon at the home of his parents,
MIR. and Mrs. Moses Harris. COL West
Main street, was a victim of the col
lapse of the grand stand at the motor
cycle races on last Fourth of July. His
injuries received at that time are con-
sidered responsible for the fatal at
tack of tuberculosis.
Young Harris had always been in
perfect health up to the time of the
collapse of the grand stand. When
the grand stand fell his ankle was
broken. and his chest severely crush
ed. He never recovered from the ac-
cident, and his injured chest made him
easily susceptible to tuberculosis.
The funeral will be from the home,
200 p. m. Saturday. under the charge
of Rev. S. w. Traum. Burial will be
in Earlham cemetery. Friends may
call at the residence any time.

UNDERWOOD SPEAKER
In San Francisco Has Caused
a Great Sensation.
(Nat!onal News Association

(NatiOnal News AsSOclatlOn)
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23.-An elo-
quent eulogy of George Washington by
Representative Oscar w. Underwood,
Of Alabama, chairman of the Ways
and Democratic floor leader, formed
the chief address before the annual
banquet of the State society Of Gin
cinnati here last night.
While declaring Washington the
greatest example in history of a
"many-sided, well-balanced, noble
man." he laid special emphasis on the
conservatism which guided the Faith
err of His Country" throughout his pub
lie career.
AT a time when so many of us are
disposed to put upon the statute book
nostrums for relief from our industrial
and financial and economic evils" he
said. lit will be we'll for us to call to
mind the striking contrast between the
moderate volume and temperate char
acter of laws enacted during his presi-
dency and so much of our present
day legislation of the experimental
sort, rejecting often merely view
of today that is likely to be the here
say of tomorrow, and attempting to
deal with the Objectionable tendency
before it is seen that it will not be ar
rested of itself, or before we have suf
ficient understanding of it to be in a
position to know or apply the appro-
pirate remedy"
THE recommendations and legisla
ton of Washington's administration
were not along guess-work lines. He
assured men that they should gather
and be secure in the possession of the
harvest of their labor"
A slap at Ex-President Roosevelt
was seen by some in one of Represen-
tative Underwood's statements, which
warned against the possibility of a
dictatorship.
Conservation and reflection have
shown" he said, how treacherously
easy is the transition from centraliza-
ton of government-which those of
the Republican party set SO much
store by and which a good many of us
Democrats acQuiesce into a person
alization of government and then to
usurpation of government. Washing
ton in all his career uttered no great
er truth than when he declared that
constitutional government, under
such circumstances, becomes almost,
as a matter of course, a despotism."
