stantinopie and Asiatic Turkey and seemingly resigned to the thought of losing all of European Turkey, gave utterance to thoughts of joining hands with Bulgaria or Greece.
 As a result of her conspicuousIy sue cessfuI war operations in the west cen tral portion of European Turkey Ser via wants the whole of northern AL banta, including a good portion of the Adriatic coast. In this she is opposed by Austria-HungaFy, which sees in the aspiration of Servia and Montenegro a menace to her supremacy in that part of the earth
 The contention of Servia is based on the treaty of alliance signed by the Balkan powers in March, 1912. The powers which made that treaty did not anticipate so rapid and overwhelm- ing victory over Turkey as the one they achieved. Not anticipating it, they agreed to give Bulgaria in the event of success a great portion of the territory to be conquered. Naturally enough Bulgaria now claims that share and accuses her erstwhile allies of bad faith in not being willing to live up to their agreement. They on their part

NEW JERSEY ANNAKES TO ITS
DUTIES TOWARD THE

A TIER a century or more of pass
 N ing on the other side of the A road with averted face the Al IA state of New Jersey is going to do something about the ~Pineys." 1t is high time, say investigators that something be done for and to colony of poor, ignorant, shack dwelling peo- pie whose mental and moral condition is a disgrace to the state.
 For hundred years the tide of civ
 fl1zation has swept past the "Pineys,'' leaving them stranded in backwaters. Originally of good colonial stock, they are now a shiftIess, weak minded, de- generate and immoral race. They dwell country which contains also Lakewood, the famous resort of the wealthy. Sometimes these "Pineys,'s whose ram shackle houses are passed by the rail- road trains and automobiles, are called "pine rats.'' The name bears testimony to the lack of esteem in which they are held by their respectable neighbors. Their number is estimated at 1,500.
 State officials say these neighbors ought to bear part of the blame for the condition of the +Pineys," since they have not done enough to improve the condition of their fellow citizens. You cannot leave a lot of people to live immoral lives by thenselves-poor, un- taught and neglected, often diseased, with little knowledge of or respect for
  thing horrible resulting. Besides, it has been too easy for the 'Pineys'' to obtain whisky and other strong drink
 The cost has fallen largely the state. In the tPfney'' country one per son in every 155 is a public charge, as against the ratio of one in 206 for the entire state. More of the men and wo- men ought to be in asyIuIns and refor- matories, say the investigators, in stead of being permitted to live to- gether, in and out of wedIock, and con- t1nuing to reproduce their own degen- crate kind.
 The trouble with the "Pineys" is not entirely their poverty. although that is one cause of the misery that is found in their cottages and shacl1s. The peo- pie of the "Pineys'' work sometimes at wood chopping, charcoal burning and berry and cranberry picking in season. 1 The money they get for their labor is | not enough to give them luxuries, but in connection with the corn and chick 1 ems and other simple products which they raise it would afford them 1VeIt- | hoods if it did not go for the whisky i that plays large part in their lives.
 Drink and tnbreeding and immoral living have made the 'Pineys'' a race l of moral and mental imbeciles. Many l of them are grown men and women | with the minds and lack of self control | of children. They know no higher law

counterba1anced the triple entente Great Britain, Russia and France-in the matter of presentation of bills for kindnesses rendered in keeping out of the mess. Everything seemed lovely and the Balkan goose hung high, when suddenly Bulgar and Serb disagreed about the division of the fox's carcass and drew knives on each other. Greece made common cause with Servia, all 1eging that the Bulgars were trying to edge them out of their just share of the spells. Montenegro stood aloof for the time. hoping to get in another whack at. Scutari. Roumania, silent and p1enacing as at the outset of the war, but ready to grab the rich territories near the mouth of the Danube, mobiI- ized her army and moved forward.

than their own desires, despite the fact that most of them live within easy neighboring distance of farmer folk and village residents who live decent civilized lives.
 Some of the pine rats" combine with their mental and moral degeneracy a certain shrewdness which teaches them how far they can go in indiffer- ence to the law. For instance, they know that the proposed measures for segregating them will be difficult to enforce, in view of the fact that they are not convicted of crime. The men have votes, and their votes have often been manipulated by shrewd and un- scrupulous politicians, a factor which complicates the "Piney'' problem.

counter with the reply that an fnds- pendent Albania such as is now pro- posed was not dreamed of when the war began, and, the territory to be df- vided among the allies being reduced by Albania, Bulgaria is not entitled to as much as she would have received had Albania been thrown Into the heap.
 The American Review of ReWiswH put the situation thus:
 At the time of the agreement be- tween the allies the formation of an independent Albania was not expected. It had been assumed that Servia and Montenegro would get the northern part of that country. that Bulgaria would take western Thrace and Greece southern Albania and that Macedonia would be given autonomy. But now Servia is barred out of Albania by the will of the great powers.
 Naturally enough, she seeks com pensation elsewhere and also naturally enough she objects to seeing all the Macedonian territory she won from Turkey handed over to Bulgaria Ac- cording, to the treaty between the d. lies, Bulgaria says she is entitled to e number of important. places, Including Monastir, where the Servians wrought their greatest deeds of arms.%
 On paper the Servians and Greelcs, e they maintain their alliance asaingt Bulgaria, seem to have a decided a.d- vantage over the latter country Each side is credited with organization and vaIor. the two qualities which win modern warfare and each side fs also debited with lack of cash, the deficiency which loses more battles than want o1 guns OF money.

latest Cand may it be the last!) un- pleasantness with Great Britain. In the morning. you remember. the flag was '.stiu there"
 Now it's in the National museum in Washington with about a million other most interesting relics of American history, such as President Lincoln's dress suit, George Washington's bap-
 tismal robe and the gold medals won by Peary for finding the north pole. But to get back to the flag. It is 27 feet inches wide by 32 feet 10 | inches long and has fifteen stripes and
 fifteen stars. No. you needn't rub your
 glasses and look again. fifteen stripes'' ] is correct and not a mtsprint. When
 the American flag was first designed the patriotic great-granddaddies in tended to add 8. star and stripe for each new state. After awhile, how ever, their sons and grandsons realized | that adding stripes meant either malz- ing the flag too large or reducing the
 width of each stripe so that at a dis tance the stripes would be invisible. So they decided to reduce the stripes ! to the original number, thirteen, sym bolizing the original thirteen states, and add star for each newcomer. Let's get back again to the original Star Spangled Banner. The com mandant of the fort when the British fired shot and shell at it seemingly had a realization that Americans of future O6yS WOulO WS%AI 10 inspect ms well defended banner, so he kept it. His name was George Armistead. and he
 held the rank of colonel.
 After his death the flag remained in his family, going eventually to his grandson, Eben Appleton of New York.
 Some years ago MT. Appleton lent the flag to the National museum, where they put it in a glass case in one of the big exhibition halls. It is pretty safe to say that every visitor to the museum takes at least two good square looks at the flag and reads carefully the label describing it.
 There are holes in the old flag due to good British aim and to bad American moths. But 'Ethe colors are still there," as one recent newspaper man put it. With the good care that will be given to the flag in the repository of national relics it will last at least century or two more, to be a living inspiration to patriotism and an object of veneration to visitors to Washington,
 Lossing's "FieId Book of the War of 1812," which is filled chock full of cu- rious and interesting little bits of his- tory, says of this original Star Span gled Banner:
 %tThe Star Spangled Banner itself, the old garrison flag that waved over Fort McHenry during that bombardment, is still iIs existence. (This was written in 1s67.) I saw it at the house of Chris topher Hughes Armistead, a son of the gallant defender of the fort in Balti- more during the late civil war. It had eleven holes in it, made there by the shot of the British during the bonn. bardment."
