his heroic death on the return jour-

WAR CHANGES FASHIONS.

Was there ever a war that did not
exert an influence on fashions? Bo-
hemian fez-makers. 1t is said. are de-
ploring the prospective waning OF
their once profitable branch OF manu-
facture. AS result of the decline OF
Islamic religion and the rise of Chris
tian prestige in southeastern Europe
the use of the fez in Thrace and Mac
edonia already has declined. recent
writer says that apart from the In
huence of defamation of the Mahome-
tan population by the war, the Turks
who remain in Europe as subjects or
the Christian states will soon, as for
mer examples have shown, exchange
the fez for the lambskin cap worn by
the Christian peasantry. The fez, 1t Is
remarked. is merely an adaptation OF
the ancient turban. and the only thing
that matters to the Mahometan is that
his headgear should have no brim. or
even shade. SO that he may sit on the
floor of the mosque as prescribed by
the Koran with a covered head. and
yet. when saying his prapers. touch
the ground with his bare forehead. For
this ceremonial the lambskin cap

ORD HALDANE'S Montreal ad

IT ORD HALDANE'S Montreal ad IL dress may be accepted as a to-
 ken of the tremendous influence in the affairs of the world that the ad ministration of American foreign mat ters by Wilson and Bryan is destined to weild. These men more than any that have been at the head of the Ma | ton in modern times have set them selves about the task of conducting Ia Nation along Christian lines. They have discarded the Dollar Diplomacy" that served for so long a time as a method of procedeure in the conduct of Nations, and in it's stead they have adopted the precept of the golden rule for their country. The influence of the United States with them at it's head will be on the side of peace and right American promoters cannot use the strength of the Nation as a club to assist them to drive hard bar gains with impecunious countries, nor will that strength be exercised by the government in territorial or other classes of aggrandizement for itself The element of selfshness has been it. liminated from our diplomacy, but the full strength of the Nation will be utilized in behalf of higher ciyii- zatiOn. the uplift of the masses, and broader liberty for mankind The country will expect greater results from it's moral influence than from it's wealth and military strength.
 The indications are abundant. that the American standard of diplomacy is meeting with the favor of the Nations of the world, and, if it is true that Lord Haldane's address may be taken as a declaration that it is to become the settled policy of Great Britain, it's general acceptance throughout civili- zatiOn will follow. Then can the pro- cess of disarmament and the reduction of the great military expenditure be- gin.

NEW NATIONALIST Is A MENACE
 TO PROGRESS.

THE battle for progressive govern
 ment in the United States must
 not be fought under the banner of New Nationalism. It must be waged for government by the masses. Those matters requiring governmental control must be brought close to the people. and not be removed far from them, and placed in the hands of alien bureaus and special agents. The pow CTS of government must be distributed more generally rather than be more restricted. Those that are fighting for more direct legislation are serving the cause of progress, but those that are battling for National control of everything are reactionary. If the pub ho good requires public ownership and operation Of any public utility. let the ownership and control rest in the public corporation within the limits of which the people most concerned re- side and exercise their citizenship. Any other policy leads away from self-sov ernment. and toward bureau cracy If statesmen of great ability would give more attention to munich pal and State matters it would count wonderfully in the struggle for pro- SrtSS in government.

Ser via's national ballads, commemorating the glories of the Servian Emperor Dushan, the fatal battle of KossOvo and the legendary exploits of the hero Marko Kralyevich and his horse Sha- rats, are of Homeric proportions and
 sung to the accompaniment of guitar with cords of horsehair tails, have kept national feeling warm for cen turies. In recent years the Servian government published a popular edi
 tion. In Macedonia Sir Charles Eliot heard schoolboy recite Bulgarian poem which took an hour and quar- ter, with a simple but significant plot.

Floral Death Leqends.

By the MeXicans marigolds are known as death flowers from an exceedingly appropriate legend that they sprang up on the ground stained by the life blood of those who fell victims to the love of gold and cruelty of the early Spanish settlers. Among the Virginian tribes, too, red clover was supposed to have sprung from and to be colored by the blood of the red man slain in battle with the white invaders. In s similar manner the red peoples which followed the blowing of the field of Waterloo were said to have sprung from the blood of the killed and wounded in that famous battle. According to tradition, the Danish invasion is the cause of the daneweed, a coarse, asteraceOus plant common ill England, as it sprang from the blood of Danes slain in battle, and if cut on certain day in the year 1t bleeds.
