The Ocean museum at Monaco sends

By carefully batting his hook, he

same day, a fish that he threw back
into the water each time.
Then a bit of colored paper was
fastened to the line few inches above

In the towns the very poorest peo-
pie are giving al the clothes they
can spare for the use Of the soldiers.
Those families which have been left
without means of livelihood, because
the men have gone to the front. are
being amply provided for by commit
tees of women and the Weather ciu
gems. In varna, the business men
raised a fund of 10000 francs for this
purpose alone, and the relief work
will be carried on until the country
is once more under normal conditions.
Nor is only money given. In Pleyen
one citizens gave 1000 francs worth
of tobacco and cognac. The Jews In
Dupnitza, very small town. gave
twenty completely equipped beds to
the Red Cross society, in addition TO
four dozen suits of underwear and
stockings. All this Is aside from
what the municipalities are doing for
the same end. IN Rustchuk the mu-
nicipal council appropriated 100000
francs for distribution among the fam
lilies of soldiers, while Jambol. q
much smaller town, could give only
10000 francs. Special committees
have been appointed to administer
these funds.
In the outlying villages. beyond the
reach of the activities Of the munich
pal committees. the peasants are
showing themselves equally capable
of handling the situation. The peas

and the other necessities of life.
which they store away for their own
consumption during the winter. II
would be useless to send out subscrip-
ton lists, for there is little ready
cash above that which has been laid
aside to pay the heavy taxes. The
village authorities follow no rule,
and in many places the relief work
is carried on entirely with donations
in kind. But this is not the most Inn
portant work of the village commit
tees
| The lives of the peasants depend
on their crops. II these fail poverty,

men were going to war just as the
winter crops of wheat should have
been sown, but village committees
are undertaking to SOW the fields OF
their fellows who have enlisted. In
one village, Novo Selo, the committee
worked so theoretically that 1t has
almost finished its task. The rich
peasants contributed the seed; one
man alone gave LOO kilos, over one
ton, Of wheat. Behind much of this
activity are the cooperative banks;
they are advancing much money and
quantities Of seeds to the families o.
those of their members who have
gone to the war. and they are super

Young Boys Volunteer.
Our arsenal is three kilometers
from the barracks. and the authorities
were puzzled how to transport the
Mannlicher rifles for the new recruits
over to the barracks. The soldiers
were all on duty or drilling. and every
wagon in town was in use for carry
ing supplies. Help came to them
from an unexpected quarter. A com
mittee of three boys appeared and
asked that they be allowed to solve
the problem. All the small boys of
the town-they ran IN age from eight
to fourteen-marched out to the ar
senal, organized into large companies,
and, each company under the direc.
ton of an old man, the little fellows
solemnly shouldered the guns and
trudged those three kilometers over
plowed fields to the barracks, re
tracing their steps many times until
every Mannlicher had been carried
over to the barracks"
This is a war that the people have
wanted and have been expecting for
many years, so they gladly have come
TO the financial assistance of the gov
eminent. In every town citizens
formed committees to raise the nee
essary funds. In LON, one of the
smaller provincial towns, such a com
mittee collected 400 francs the frs
day the subscription was opened. 4,S0(
francs on the second day, and at the
end of the fourth day 1t had 1900
francs in hand. In this particular
