THE SENSELESS BALKAN STRUG
GLE
(New York SUM-

The outcome of such a struggle as
the allies appear to have embarked on
1 one that no man can foresee. All that
is Immediately apparent is the in
sensate folly of the thing. Bulgaria al
ready has more territory than she will
be able to absorb in a decade, and
without the good will of Europe be-
hind her difficulties will be increased
fourfol Meanwhile, in the background
is the figure of Dual Monarchy chuckl-
ing over the disappearance of the me-
mace of Slav confederacy and ready
to appropriate to itself and slice Of
territory that it may be possible to
grab in the general scramble. If the
allies persist in their fractricidal war
the result to themselves is likely to
prove the best argument for arbitra-
ton ever made.

REMARKS ON RED HAIR
Boston GIobe.)


Salute no red-haired man nearer
than 80 feet off, runs an old French
proyerb, and even so, hold three
stones in the fist wherewith to defend
| thyself"
From Biblical times to the present
day can be traced the prejudice against
red hair. Never lodge at red-haired
peoples houses runs a precept in the
fifteenth century "Boke of Curtasye. -
for these be folke that are to drede.
According to one tradition this dis
trust of red-haired people dates from
the time of Judas, who, himself red
haired, caused treachery to BE- ever
afterward connected with hair of that
color
Shakespeare alludes to this belief.
Says Rasalind, complaining of he 10y
er, His very hair is Of the dissemH,iL g
color Whereupon Celia answers her.
Something browner than Judas. =
Marston, in The Insatiate Countess,
makes one of his characters rema~ls:
| ever thought by his red beard he
prove a Judas
In Sweden prejudice against red
hair was very strong; here its con-
nection with treachery was twofold,
for the traitor Ashjorn, who betrayed
Caunte, possessed red hair In Germ
any, also, red hair met with scant re-
gard. The short in statute" says a
German proverb, are naturally proud,
and the red-haired untrustworthy.
Nor is this latter belief by any means
extinct at the present time.
Red hair, however unjustly, is still
, associated with deceit and, in ireland
and Scotland, with ill-luck as we'll In
the Highlands, he who meets a red
haired woman when starting on a jour
ey will be we'll advised, says the wise
aces, to return home and start the
journey afresh; and in Ireland red
haired people are supposed to exercise
the same baleful influence upon any
undertaking.
The writer, staying in Western Con-
nemara not long ago for brown trout
! fishing, complained one day that sport
had been unusually poor The landlord
smoothed his chin and pondered for
some little time upon the reason for
this lack of fish Then, suddenly. his
face lightened-the lakes, after all, it
seemed, were not in fault. Sure" he
said, yell have met Red Maggie Muir
ply on the way to the lake? Twas her
self that passed by the minute after!'

IAN ENGLISH VIEW OF MR.. BRYAN
North American Review

Among all classes and all parties
there has grown up feeling toward
Mr.. Bryan which, in its kindness and
| its desire to be just amounts for those
who remember the passion and de-
mentia OF 1896, to a veritable revolu-
ton. His bitterest opponents today
would net deny that he believes all he
says, though they might add that the
more wrong-headed it is the more
pretty we'll universal acknowledge
ment that he is no self-seeker, that his
politics spring from his convictions
and that he fights for them with unim,
ipeachable dignity and fairness. Mr.
Bryan has proved himself, and for that
| honor him, an effective voice of pro-
test against social and economical in
equities and injustices. But has he
proved himself anything more? asks
Sidney Brooks. He can at times dag
nose general conditions with a rough
and-ready accuracy that is due to the
/ keenness of his sympathies and not to
the keenness of his perception He has
stirred up many questions, but he has
never yet found the right or anything
! approaching the right answer to any
| CT them. He has sensitiveness, a gen
erous heart, a great fund of idealism
| and creed that looks kindly on the
under dog But balance, knowledge,
perspective, a sense of the feasible, a
distrust of empiricism-in all these
qualities which are the very stuff Of
craftsmanship flattery itself would
have to admit his deficiency. He be-
long to the type of men whom Nature
| in her perversity has framed to ruin
countries from the best of motives and
with the highest intentions. He is a
stimulating and even now and then
I captivating orator, and the sheer sim
cerity of the man always holds the au-
dience. All the Englishmen
whom he encountered during his visits
abroad were at one in pronouncing
him shallow and vapid thinker, inca
pable of seeing deeply into anything.
What determined their estimate
of him was the discovery that he lack
ed almost all the gifts and qualities
that go to form the political instinct.

hunger's on me;

CHURCHMEN IN CONGRESS-
(LeSlie'S Weekly

|
Out of the 165 senators and repre-
sentative who have responded to the
query, rs churchgoing out of fash
| ion?" only lis have responded NO. -
Forty-one have expressed the opinion
that the church is not keeping pace
with the times Senator Clapp of
! Minnesota believes the real broad
spirit of Christianity was never so
strong as it is to-day Senator Fletch-
er of Florida declared that newer and
better churches are being built all the
while Senator Jones of Washington
says the bad is advertised more to-
day than it used to be but the good is
with us both out of the church and in
| it. Il believe the automobile has had
something to do with the decreasing
church attendance" Senator Kenyon of
Iowa tells us. 1T is pretty hard on a
beautiful Sunday to get away from
the lure of the country if a person has
an automobile and there is much to be
said of the religion of the country
! OF the 1919 members of the House Of
! Representatives heard from twenty
seven expressed the opinion that the
church is not keeping pace with the
times About the same number declare
that the present system of Sunday
school teaching is not what it should
be. Almost all of the number heard
from attended Sunday-school and
agreed that the training had served
them we'll in after life. Twenty-siX are
not members of any church.
Well worth bordering is the thought
advanced by Speaker Clark. He is a
member of the Christian Church some
times referred to as the Campbell
ties"
without religion the world would
be a bedlam in twelve months" Mr.
Clark told me. The history of all
times and countries proves that" Com
menting on the numerous vacant
churches of the country, those which
have been converted into automobile
garages, manufacturing establishments
and other offices, Congressman Lloyd
Of Missouri voiced the opinion of many
of his colleagues: I'm the recent past
the contest between the various
churches was such as to produce dis
cord and strife and as a result of it
there were necessarily constructed
more churches in small towns and in
country places than were needed. Some
! of these have been abandoned very
properly and the congregations have
combined, much to the profit of Chris
/ tianity."
| Representative Ripley Of Pennsyl-
vania believes that Sunday-schools and
affiliated organizations are accomplish
ing as much good in a religious wa
as the preacher in the pulpit. while
at times intolerance good bigotry have
been responsible for great suffering,
nevertheless the general effect has
been good" writes Representatives
