Austria's Errors In the Balkans.

Sir Edward Pears, in the Yale Review.
Three years ago., Austrians and Hun
garians We're of opinion that Servia
was a negligible factor n could at
any time be annexed. Austria coveted
Salonica and considered that the cas-
lest way for an Austrian army to reach
that port was throug Servia. The wal
between Turkey n the Balkan states
has dlspelled this Illusion; its results
upon Austrian influence are disastrous
all around. Servia has doubled her
territory. Her success at Kumanovo
marked n of the decisive battles of
1912. Her army broke up the Turkish
offensive designed to threaten Sofia on
the rear of the Bulgarian army, and
greatly increased Serbian reputation
among the Serbian subject of Austria.
Austria's diplomatic action succeeded
unfortunately in preventing Servia
from obtaining a port on the Adriatic,
and this was the prime cause of the
war between the victorious allies.
Austria played fast and loose With Bull
garia. King Ferdinand has always had
Austrian leanings, and the Austriana
might have made of Bulgaria a valu-
able friend. The Red Book of the en-
pire published last April. confirmed
the impression that Austria's policy is
as vacillating as it was when Gladstone
declared that whoever trusted to it was
leaning upon a broken reed. At one
time she was supporting Bulgaria: at
another Tumania. Her minister, Berch-
told, finished by deserving and alienat-
ing the Bulgars, making the Serbs
more hostile than ever, and giving final
aid to R~ulnania, for which she re-
ceived no thanks. Judging by the rules
laid down by Machiavelli, and remem-
boring that her most dangerous enc
mics are those within her own bor-
ders, Austria's policy was to have made
friends with the Bulgars so as to have
used them in case of need against the
Serbs or Rumanians. Russia'.; policy
has been more successful.

Limit to High Buildings.
Erom the Indiananolis Star

IN oS~
Metropolitans in the United States
have been wont to deal in pleasant Jest
with the restrictions on the height OF
buildings imposed in European cap
itals. and have pointed vauntingly TO
architectural and structural limitations
as the only pounds on the lOftlness OF
skyscrapers in this country. The Wool
worth building, New York city, shoots
starward to an altitude almost Teallz-
ing the predictions of earlier days that
the country would see inhabited struc-
lures quite as high as Eiffel tower.
Its $50 feet are proof that architects
and structural engineers have not
reached the limit. But a practical rea-
son interposes Il bar in the United
States, whore neither the law nor mans
deficiency steps in. The Wall Street
Journal informs us that extremely high
buildings are going out of style, except
perhaps as advertising novelties. for
the very sufficient cause that people
don't want to occupy their upp
stories. There is as much detachment
and remoteness from the zone of activ-
ity on the 45th floor of a skyscraper. 1t
would appear, is in a location miles
away from the heart of the congested
district. Long elevator Journeys, isola-
ton, and dread of attitudes all play a
part in the growing unpopularity of
high buildings in the American metrop-
oils, the Wall street Journal says:
1T is declared on competent authority
that few buildings of more thar 81
stories in New York city pay a credit
able dividend. One building of more
than 30 stories, that armed Ia per cent
for the first few years. hardly makes
expenses now. The same authority re-
lates that in another high building it is
difficult to rent space above the 10th
story. The conclusion Of those who
have observed the distaste of the rent
er for upper floors is that the ideal
skyscraper will be from Is to 20 stories
nigh. In a very few districts of the
most populous cities the effect of a re-
striction of this kim will be to increase
rents, or to cduce office space and
make quarters more compact, or on
still another hand, to perfect interior
planning so that there will be much
less unutilized space thar there is to-
lay. The econoIny of interior space in
modern buildings is Interesting. Long
corridor vistas and much waste space
marked the Older buildings before the
era of steel structures, and in the
earlier steel framed lofts there was an
unnecessary devotion of space to cor
r1dors. Today the distribution of ele-
Vators and the evolution of wings min
imlze the need of Corridors, either for
passage or for lighting. 1t is not i'm
probablc however, in view of the con-
fusion concerning the inutility of very
tau buildings, that further economies Of
space VIII be obtained.

GERS the actual means of business admin

straw with which bricks are made. There
cannot be business administration when
the heads of important administrative di-
visions are given no assurance of tenure

are paid salaries of far lower scale than
private business affairs. The citizens
should insist that both these faults OF
system-which practically count for so
much-shall be among the first to be cor
Tected. Government will not run on law
alone. Without men equipped with the
ability and with the will rightly to inter-
pref and rightly to enforce laws. the
scheme is bound to fail or falter. And the
c~ities-great business and industrial insti-
buttons as they ought to be-should COM
mand the services of the men who are
best equipped. You cannot tempt an able
and efficient administrator from his sue

offer of a tenure of two or four years and
