 Balkan BatfIe Theatey

nowned for it's defensive qualities, and rated high for it's strategic values among the many natural strongholds found among the almost inaccessible Balkan mountain systems
 ''The region is watered by the Linn, which flows northward into Bosnia, and by numerous small tributaries to the river Ibar. In it's broadest val ley, which bisects it, lies it's one inn portant town, Novibazar, which dom mates the way between Servia and Montenegro, and between Servia and Austrian Bosnia. Many of the inn portant points in this area were strongly fortified by the Turks, and these Turkish works may have been put to use by the Servian army of the north The Sanjak was acquired by Servia as one of the fruits of the war of the Balkan League against Turkey in 1912"

Washington, D. C., Dec. 27.-Withln the Sanjak of NovibaZar lies the scene of the last determined effort of the Servians to resist the occupation or the northern half of their country. The characteristics of this interesting, isolated battle-theater are given in war primer just issued by the National Geographic Society. It reads:
 Ancient Russia, or that part Of modern Serva included in the dis trict of Novibazar, formed the ker- mel of the territories in the Balkans, Of which the migratory Serbs took possession; and it was within this area that Servian independence died hard est. Generations passed after the field of Kossove on which the Ot- toman hordes smashed the Servian Empire, and beGueathcd to the gener- a4ions that followed the merciless, un- equal and intending struggle, which was fought out between the conquer ors an dthc fugitives in the hills of Novibazar.
 "The area of the Sanjak is noun tainous. gashed with small, irregu~ lar canyons, made difficult with great, broken piles of rock, and clothed with forests. From the days of the Byzan- tine writers, this area has been re-

 in, re1nindingi the United States that old 1915 has been somewhat of a good year, if though at times it has slipped down, but that young 1916 will come in with a breeze, a blush of
 energy, a bounteous sprinkling of joy
 There must needs be joy if more than
 two million men and women go on strike at the outset,-depending of
 course, on whether the strike lasts
 long enough. Two million persons
 laying aside their tools and giving up
 their work show signs of prosperity. There has been enough money made in 1915 by all hands concerned, so why worry about working during 1916? Let everybody go on strike. Shut down the bakery,-why make bread? Close up the butcher shops who wants meat? Put the For Rent sign on the coal mines,-every body go South. That is the prosperity we want. As we approach the bedside of a dying year and hear the death mum blings of a wicked old master who made Us work during the entire length of his three hundred and sixty five days may we not be forgiven if we turn aside from this gloom scene and hail with joy a youngster in the next room who on his birthday shouts: Success!

A Complicated Problem.
(New Haven Register.)

(NeW Haven ReglSter.)
 Those who have studied it a very little, and those who have studied it not at all, agree in opinion that the problem of how to regulate public entertainment is very simple one On the one hand, they are sure that if producers would give the people what they ought to have, the matter would be solved. On the other, they are equally sure that if the people would demand good and only good shows, they would get them. The latter opininists are near right than the former, but neither party has seen more than one side of the prob lem.
 It is easy to say that the New Ha- ven public ought to be ashamed of itself for failing to fill the theater at the production of a Shaw comedy It is true and it isn't. Granville Barker is worthy of respect, even when he sends us a second company. Mrs Patrick Campbell and her company are artists not to be missed. But if New Haven deems the merits of both producer and actress largely neutral ized by the defects of Bernard Shaw, i that is not wholly a condemnation of New Haven's judgment. And when two Shaw productions are centered within ten days, the reason they fail 1 of overwhelming support is not far ! to seek.
 But did New Haven desert the classic Shaw wholly for the movies ?'' 1 Not at all. That same week almost 1 the largest thea,ter in town was crow l ded to standing room at two perfor- mances daily of Denman Thompson's simple, ancient "Old Homestead'' '' ] Here was as clean a theatrical pro- 1 duction as any community ever had, : honestly and appreciativcly acted, i and it got response from tho people. No. they arc rot all given over to t!2e graven i'~'ages Of the filra. And a manager who puts on what is good for the people does not always fail of response. The fact is. suggestive,
 but it does not unqualifedly sustain l the criticisms of the investigators.

Is Chamberlain to Be Sacrificed?
 .. (Hartford Times.)

The republican politicians who are ton of a Hartford county candidate for governor on their party ticket next year are confronted with a diff culty-the locality question. An at
 tempt is being made to solve the
 trouble, but it is much more trouble
 some than they expected.
 The general opinion is to renomi-
 nate the ticket of 1914, the exception
 being the attorney general who was
 elected for four years and who has
 still two years to run. That plan it is
 claimed, would have the merit of
 being logical. When. a proposition conforms to logic it is easy to con- vince of it's reasonableness. If, how ever, change is made in the head of the ticket by the substitution of Hartford county man for the present incumbent of the office of governor who is also a resident of this county the logical reason is destroyed and it will be hard to find another which
 will justify the nominations with the
 same convincing force
 The ticket, unsupported by the
 reason which might reconcile repub-
 
 mated ticket, will contain the names of three candidates from Hartford county, namely those for governor, treasurer, and United States senator. , There will be no opposition to the re-
 nomination of Senator Mclean for United States senator Nothing but his refusal to be again a candidate can prevent his renomination. The
 other Hartford county candidates are treasurer and governor
 This will mean that fifty per cent. of the names on the ticket will be those of Hartford county residents, leaving but three positions to be given to the other seven counties in the state. That would be very unequal distribution of the offices and and would bring out an emphat tic expression of the locality sentiment that would make it easier for the
 democratic ticket to win. It is said that Treasurer Chamberlain is to be sacrificed and that he is to be a will ing victim. That would make the. in- equality of the distribution less strik- | ing, still unequal.
 The discussion of the matter brings ! to mind the situation that existed in 1906 when Marcus H. Holcomb l was nominated for attorney general. i He was the choice of Hartford county, , every town in the county being
 strongly in his favor. Everett J. i Lake entered the race for the
 nomination for lieutenant gover- i nor Objection was at once raised to
 his candidacy on the ground that it
 would imperil the nomination of ! Judge Holcomb and, if both were
 nominated, the election of the repub- 1 Ucan ticket would be endangered. 1 Judgo Holcomb took no part in the
 controversy from a feeling of deli- cacy. He was asked one day if he i thcught tho placing of another Hart
 ford county man on tn ticket would
 irjure his selection for attorney | general.
 'I don't sec how it could help me-" replied Judge Holcomb

Public opinion was not enthusiast
ically in favor of Raphael when he
ame to live in East Kemp. Raphael
vas an Armenian, and his color was
hat of the lining of ham sandwich.
IF course his nationality was not so
much against him as the fact that he
lad foreign ways.
He had peddled cheap jewelry in
he district for several years when he
surprised everybody by buying the
Drew cottage and establishing him
self there with his wife and son, a
anky, ham-colored lad of Is. Appar-
entity he had amassed all the money
ne needed in the peddling line, for he
set to work to raise poultry and vege-
tables, which he sold to Hiram Smith,
the grocer.
The chief objection to Raphael lay
in the fact that he had had the fore
sight to buy decent house in a good
neighborhood just before any one else
snapped it up. The house itself was
tiny; it was one of those cheap homes
that can be found just before the
boom comes, in half-fashionable
parts of a town. If Raphael had
camped across the river among the
Italians nobody would have thought
anything about it.
Raphael blossomed out. His wife
wore some brilliant clothing, and,
what complicated matters, he decided
that the Episcopal church came near
est to the Armenian. The family
went there, and of course one can't
be unfriendly to fellow churchman.
But the town knew how to cold
shoulder the Raphaels- have men
