two Davidsons, who are brothers,
aged 20 and 30, living together on
the mountainside within mile of the
scene Of the Barham murder, when
they failed to join the man-hunt in
which practically every man for miles
about enlisted yesterday. Officers
sent to spy upon them determined tc
arrest them because Of their susupi-

Upon the approach of the officers,
one of the brothers is said to have

N the Adriatic. 1t was for such a
window that 1t joined Bulgaria,
Montenegro and Greece in fighting
turkey. The allies have won. Servia
(sill get its window unless Aus

There are two reasons why Austria
brefers to keep Servia's window
closed. First, Austria covets the
EASTERN coast OF the Adriatic for IT.
elf Secondly, and in the end per.
aps most important, Austria's south

he Seryian frontier, are peopled
mainly by Slavs, the Servians also

pleasure of power which, through pos
bession Of an Adriatic window" Il
eeems likely to attain, these south

ed certain to attempt secession from
Austria and union with their Serviar
