Thomas Nelson Page opened his
eyes in old Virginia on April 20,
1853. He was a rather precocious
boy. Many a beating did he receive
at school for stealing time from his
lessons to write short stories on his
slate for the amusement of his COM
panions. He entered Washington and
Lee University when he was only
sixteen years old. He remained there
three years, and then after spending
little time in Kentucky decided to
enter the law department of the Uni
versity of Virginia in 1873. He fin
ished the work there in about half
the time usually required, and began
practicing in Richmond, where he re-
manned until 1893
Page had always felt the charm of
times gone by. He tried to follow the
law faithfully; but more and more
strongly came the call to picture ar
tistically ga civilization which, once
having sweetened the South, has
since we'll night persisted from the
EARTH" He yearned for the old plan
tation life,-the stately mansions of
his forefathers, the grandeur to
which those men and women of
other days attained, and the over
grown fencerows and fields of his
own country home.
Finally he decided to write.
"Marse Chan" was published in
1884, and won the author immediate
recognition. People of both the
North and South were enthusiastic
about it. The author himself tells how
he came to write this tale: =
"Just then friend showed me a
letter which had been written by a
young girl to her sweetheart in a
Georgia regiment, telling him that
she had discovered that she loved
him, after all, and that if he would
get furlough and come home she
would marry him; that she had loved
him ever since they had gone to
school together in the little school
house in the woods. Then, as if she
feared such a temptation might be
too strong for him, she added a post
script in these words: Don't come
without furlough: for if you don't
come honorable won't marry you

The American Doctrine.

According to Senator Lewis this
nation has progressed to a point
where she can no longer consistently
forbid European aggression in Cen
trail and South America while tho
United States herself has become an
aggressor in these countries. This
aggression, too, is inevitable FOR the
protection of the Panama Canal, the
proposed Nicaraugan treaty, in
which the United States assumes a
protectorate over the smaller nation
indicating the trend of American ad-
vancemept.
When the Monroe Doctrine was
promulgated there was no thought
that the United States would ever in
terfere in Latin American politics,
and we therefore demanded that no
European nation be permitted to CO.
lonize on this continent. The logical
inference is, thinks Mr.. Lewis, that
having departed from our former at
titude we can no longer forbid the
countries of Europe from entering
Pan-America. Senator Lewis be-
lieves that the Monroe Doctrine will
be superseded by new policy-the
American Doctrine, which will
mean: ANY course by America any
where necessary for the maintenance
OF American ideals and the just pro-
lection of American citizenship"
"America has broken into South
America" said Senator Lewis, ''selz-
I'd Panama, divided Colombia, and
for the object of contracting the
Panama Canal now finds it necessary
to take possession of Central Ameri-
ca, or to arrange a protectorate which
will give us control of these widening
banks Of our new stream.
''Clearly it is impossible for us to
invade South and Central America to
the extent necessary to protect the
Canal without having either the CO.
operation of the European countries
interested in South or Central Ameri-
ca, or, if not their cooperation, their
silent acquiescence in the form of
non-resistence. Equally clear is it
that to have either, some form of
reciprocity with these countries in
South or Central America is at once
necessary. 1t is apparent that these
European countries in trun for the CO.
operation which we must seek from
them will demand Of us that they be
permitted to preserve their own in
lACSIS III I1cSS SGtuAc SpASISS Ill duy
manner they may find necessary.
"That those countries now will de.
mand the privilege in Mexico, South
and Central America to protect their
rights in the same form as they are
maintained by Italy in Abyssinia, by
France in Algeria, by England in
Egypt and China, and by Germany in
China and Central Africa, is all too
apparent-and that these features Of
government will now be advanced
and entrenched upon the American
continent in Central and South Am
erica.

TURKEYS POSITION

While the possibility of the settle ment of the difficulties in European Turkey is again receiving considera- tion the losses of the Turkish forces continue to add to the pitiful rosition of the Ottoman empire. The magni- fcent victory by the Greek army at Janina for the downfall of which they fhave been laying plans for months past, is the cause for great satisfaction by Greece Little has been prev1ously accomplished by this portion of the allies fighting al the south in com parison with the brilliant victories of the Bulgarians, but they have been quietly leading mp to this important victory This means the Greeks have retaliated for the outcome of the war a few years ago and at the same time reclaimed commanding fortress which has been in Turkish power for centuries.
 From all the allies Turkey has re- ceiVed severe repulses and the longer the opposition which she is able to offer Greece has regained valuable possessions which unouestiOnabIy will be retained and the other countries opposing Turkey are gradually se- curing vantage points which they have desired. It grows plainer every day that Turkey caused the resumption of the war to the great detriment of herself Her logical course was to have secured peace. regardless of the price and she cannot hasten that day any too soon for the welfare of the country and her treasury. Delay has already 1essened her possessions and increased the demands.

I (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) ) March has arrived, and we are all saying, How short the winter has seemed. Time goes so quickly that 1t seems but a shert time since we were told of long, hard winter te be expected, and weful predictions were in circulation of all manner of signs of long and pretracted cold. What the goose bone revealed, the squirrels, the moss grown trees, the husks on the corn, even the sl<unks were called
 upon to give the coming season an
 unsavory reputation. But now it is
 March and bluebirds, and robins, and
 pheebs and biackbirds are denying all
 reports of the other wood folk and
 wood lore of the autumn. March
 comes in like a Hon. we are told, but
 the only roar we heard on his first
 day was that of thtinder. The winds
 have roared somewhat since. to be
 sure, but we need them to clear the
 air of all the unhealthy germs that
 have accumulated during the win
 ter, and we should be thankful for
 them as for a blessing in disguise
 We do not always appreciate our
 blessings, l fear
 l wonder why this month of all the year is called March We all know it
 is named from the god of war. but which is cause and which effect? Is it called March because of it's charac- ter, or has this name wrought upon the month to produce the customary weather of the season? Who can tell ! They say, Give a dog a bad name and hang him. Does anyone suppose the weather would be milder if the month had been named Silvia instead of March? Meantime the strong winds must be met with what cour- age we have. and a month hence we shall probably find ourselves saying 1 on the first of April that March was l not so bad as we feared it would be. l
 How many different meanings arc given to this word March war i like thought is woven into most of 1 them to remind us, I suppose, of it's l origin. We connect it with the ad- l vance of troops and the order for 1 such advance. Some of us remember l watching the troops start for the seat l of war and many a woman's heart l was sore1y tried when the order to 1 march was heard. brave smile and | cheery word of farewell concealed 1 sisters. and sweethearts could have 1 revealed a world of sorrow nobly | kept back as the parting kiss and l blessing were bestowed. for the de ] parting hero must have only smiles 1 tc remember as his last look was gIV- | en to his loved ones
