POWERS MUST EXERCISE WISDOM

Unless the European powers act wisely and
in honest harmony the Balkan allies will be
but at the beginning OF their troubles when the
conquest Of Turkey is completed. Already jeal-
ousies and mutual suspicious appear. Bulgarians
and Greeks have approached perilously near an
open clash. Before the territory supposed to
have been conquered is in possession angry dis
pute has arisen over its division. We have
glimpses of intrigues, plots and combinations
within the alliance, Evidently beneath the sur
face fierce quarrels are brewing
These conditions tend to division and 1nefi-
cheney in and threaten strife among the
allies after peace with the sultan. 1t seems to
be within the possibilities that much of the
advantage hardly won viii be thrown away;
that the parties to the Balkan alliance will seek
to make separate treaties. to secure special terms
We need not be surprised to see the tide turn
and some Turkish successe.- When forces in
the field lose confidence In each other disaster
IN likely The little countries may become so
intent on fighting and swindling one another
that the effort against the common foe will be
cnfeebled Even If Turkey finally surrenders

larger powers, we may see a long succession of
petty but bloody wars among the little States
over the distribution of spoil While such strife
continues the danger of general and serious EN-.
broilment of all Europe will continue. Russia.
Germany, Austria and France are nervous as 50
many cats, watching intently all ready to spring

The situation is disgusting and disturbing IT
would be ludicrous to us here in America If
the threatened consequences were less horrible.
We, unaccustomed to dread of intrusion or in.
vaeion, and having no purpose to despoil any,
body else. find it hard TO realize why neighbor
countries cannot live in peace and security.
Yet 1t Is a fact which observing people must
recognize that the peril OF conflagration involv-
ing directly and indirectly, the entire world
remains. If the Balkan alliance is broken and
the States composing 1t begin to fight among
themselves, the spark may reach the finder and
cause explosion at any moment
Wisdom and honesty among the big powers
in making peace and experimenting the division
of honors and territory will avert the danger
in which the world stands. Nothing else can
do it,

HENRY NJ. FLAGLER
RECOVERING HEALTH

PALM BEACH. FLA, March co.
Henry NJ. Flagler's condition following
the fall he had three weeks ago is not
alarming. Me sat up today and has
for several days been attending to all
his business. He will probably be
about IN wheel chair before the end
of the week. In an authorized state
ment made tonight by j. c. Batter, Mr..
tlagler's secretary and confidential
man, for twenty years, he said:
ut is evident from the kilograms
and letters the family continue to re-
ceive that an erroneous impression of
Mr.. Flaglers condition has gone out.
Some papers said he had broken his
hip. This is an unjustified statement,
There was only slight fracture in the
Joint which required no setting. and
only rest. Mr.. Fiagler has been able
to move his injured leg now for sew
eral days and I think he will be out
in a wheel chair before the end of the
week. He feels well, and all of his
functions are and have heen normal"

afternoon and night DR.. Wheeler will
give his lectures.
DIR. Wheeler is probably the most
eminent hygienist of this country. and
the people of Richmond will be very
fortunate to have an opportunity to
hear him speak on this very important
subject
DIR. Chandler expresses himself as
delighted at the idea Of having his
teachers enlightened on this great
subject of oral hygiene. which is the
science of keeping the mouth and
teeth in healthy and clean condi-

pointing out that the uneouivocai
statement of the physician that he
would take the friedman treatment
himself If he had tuberculosis. rs the
strongest kind of testimony in favor
of the efficiency OF the cure.
The gentleman's interest in the
friedman treatment comes as a re-
suit of close relative suffering from
tuberculosis and as a result of the eye
change of kilograms with DR. Landes-
man, il is highly probable that the
Roanoke man will shortly make a
trip to New York with the object Of
endeavoring to obtain some of the
priceless serum. Owing TO the strict
manner in which the United States
government has hedged in DR.. Fried
mann ana prevented the German ,spe-
cialist from administering his treat
ment to The public at large, the Roam
oker is not at all certain that he win
be able ~ obtain the desired serum.
But. being a man of resolute per-
sistence n all he undertakes, it is not
likely that he will be easily baffied
and, indeed. he has indicated a will
ingness to follow Dr. Friedman over
The border into Canada to accomplish
his desire. Like thousands of others,
he is awaiting the result of the gov
eminent test now in progress with
keen anxiety.

arrive at many reforms and changes, we need

the present instance are that Mr.. White has the
temerity to come into public life again after the
whitening sarcasms. the fercely incisive assaults
the dreadful battering. to which he and those
who voted with him on the tax commission issue
were subjected but eleven months ago. While
we marvel, we find in the mild and comparative

the general assembly and the members thereof

dent of Roanoke and DIR. Max Landes-

Memphis, Tenn, which is one of the largest
cities in the country blessed with the commission
form of government had a tax rate in 1886 Of
$3.50. That was under the old system of council
alderman government. In 1912 the tax rate of
Memphis was $158, a decrease in that period of
II cents. Even more striking, however. is the
decrease shown in the tax rate since the com
mission government was inaugurated-18 cents
in less than three years. It must be admitted
that Richmond's system is not SO complete and
is yet in the experimental stage. but the facts
snd figures displayed by Memphis. which is in
Richmonds class, form absolutely convincing ar.
gument of the advantages of the new over the
Obsolete system.
