Servia which has the proud distinction of having started the greatest that the world has ever is about large, comparatively. the match which fires the powder keg. It has 19000 square miles, and it has been prancng about vigorously in history for the last 1900 years.
 Servia. located in the southeast of the Balkan volcano across the river Save from Aus tria and 100000 miles from universal peace. is little smaller than West Virginia, looks much like that state-being plentifuly speckled with low mountains-and acts considerably like West Virginia during coal strike. It has 2,500,000 people, each of whom is armed with name which drives American telegraph editor into unnatural gloom when he tries to decipher it.
 The principal occupations of the SerVanS are farming, cattle raising fighting and emigrating to America. This country will be the greatest Servian nation earth if the population of Servia itself continues to stroll into the cannons mouth much longer.
 The Servian is the first cousin of the Russian and belongs the Slav family. There is a vast difference between Slav and the word with "e' the end of it. far the Servian is concerned He takes interest in slavery what ever and is as easy to govern by a hostile power

if Paris Surrenders

If, correspondent from Dieppe states, the French even considering the surrender of Paris without a struggle it will doubtless be surrendered. It would be loss not only to France but the world, if the treasures of that city should be posed the fire of the great siege of the Ger mans There is only one Louvre in the world rich in art treasures and in history; there is only Notre Dame there are other treasures whose loss would be as great disaster to mankind as the destruction of the Alexandrian library
 If the allies cannot prevent the bombardment of Paris they cannot prevent the running of France by the Germans While the city is the most strongly fortified in the world and might withstand assault indefinitely it would engage the attention of only comparatively small part of the German strength the of which would sweep over north- ern, western and southern France whose defenses

 The Servans moved into their country in the seventh century, after the Romans, Huns, OStro goths and others had infested it for centuries. In the fourteenth century Stephen Dushan, who is big to Servans Napoleon is to the French, ragged exceedingly throughout the neghborhood and annexed Albania Bulgaria, Thrace and most of Greece. Later Turkey conquered Serva, but succeeded in 171S in working it off Austria, who held it until her fingers were severely burned and then passed it back to Turkey. Serva reVolted against Turkey and it's rulers with glad cry in 1S13 1915, and bienniay thereafter until 1873, when it got full independence and permission to accumulate it's national debt, which it has done with great diligence since being considerably behind in interest, but otherwise cheerful.
