POPULATION SHIFTING.

There has been a constant and in
teresting shifting, since the two re-
cent Balkan wars, of the population
of the various territories affected.
Most of European Turkey having
been partitioned among several diff
ferent Balkan states and new boun-
diaries made, the nationals of the va
riOus affected countries hastened-
some of their own free will and 9TH
ers through forced circumstance
to shelter within the confines of the
newly annexed territory. For in
stance, the Greeks are migrating
from Asia Minor and Thrace into
"New Greece" the Turks from what
was formerly European Turkey to
Constantinople and Asia Minor, and
the Bulgars to "New Bulgaria" from
contiguous Greek, Turkish or Ser
Wan territories.

GOLF BALL TURNS DOUBLE

Gol6ng stories threaten to become
as notorious in their lack Of veracity
as fishing steriRs. The truth of the
following narrative, which is pres

will not swear to, says the narrator
in the Glasgow News. A particular
ly jovial party visited one of the lo-
cal hotels one evening recently, say
ing that they would sample the links
on the following day. During the
evening they lived sumptuously,
looking long upon the wine when it
was red. In the morning, feeling
rather poorly, they resolved that they
would merely walk round the course,
and engage in a game in the after
noon. They returned from their
promenade feeling rather refreshed,
but, after dinner, again partook too
heartily of the charley bree." They,
however, sailed out afterwards to
engage in the game. The leader of
the party had his ball teed for him
at the first tee, and was just address
ing himself to strike, when suddenly.
he drew back with a look of utmost
CONSERVATION on his face. 'By

MADE USE or UNDERsTUDlEs
Both German Emperor and Russian
Gar Frequently Employed
Doubles.

In a land of distrust like Russia
it is only natural that the precau-
tions taken should be of the most
drastic order, hence the use Of the
royal understudy who has always
been conspicuous figure at that
court. Indeed, it was the under

Ia man named Komaroff-who was
murdered in Moscow some years ago,
when the murderer thought he had
covered himself with glory by assas-
sinating the car.
Nicholas, like his father before
him, has an understudy, and the
many state functions he is supposed
to have attended at the opening of
his reign, when the relations with
his people were more strained than
they are today, really were attended
for the most part by proxy.
No monarch, however, made such
frequent use Of his understudy as
the late Emperor William of Ger

twelve the emperor came out and

made known that the man who APP
peared daily on the balcony was the
royal understudy. And the person
who gave the secret away was the
great Bismarck.

A Comparison Of Ger
man and French Shells

TARLY in the war, at the first battle of
=, Muelhausen, German prisoners spoke Of
the frightful effect Of the French artillery.
After the battle of the Marine they told the same
story exaggerated, so it said, by descrp-
tons OF men slain without wounds, phyxiated
by the gas which came from the French projec-
tiles. French infantrymen told Of "rows of Ger
mans standing dead in the trenches, no wounds
upon them, as il frozen into death"
For some weeks these stories were attributed to
"the new French explosive, turpinite." After that
they were doubted altogether, flung into the scrap
heap Of discarded war tales, along with the Rus
SLAMS in Belgium" the early German defeats, etc.
But though the neutral was increduous. the
Germans, who should have known the most about
1t, were not. Their diaries, picked I'D on the
fields OF battle, the statements OF their prisoners
and wounded, showed the same dread OF the
French guns particularly of the "75"
The French were silent. Their censors passed
the reports OF the effect of their gunfre, but
passed no comment upon it; and neutral opinion,

~ recent issue of the Vienna "Neue Freie
Presse" Herr Roda Roda, of the most
u distinguished Of Austrias war correspond
ents has told the story of young Austrian sub
officer who was for nearly month a prisoner Of
the Cossacks Herr Roda Roda has had little sue
cess as a military writer; the Austrian censorship
rave him no chance. But he has collected indie
fatigably the experiences of individual soldiers
vivid contemporary records, out OF which the real
history of the war, from the viewpoint OF those
who participated in it, may some day be written
The story Of the man who was with the Cos
sacks has the sort Of verify which one looks for
In vain in the bulletins. 1t catches something
of the spirit Of the men who do the fghting--of
the real atmosphere in which they move. 1t reads
like a chapter from Tolstoy's "Cossacks" or from
the same writer's "Sevastopol." Indirectly, too,
IL helps to solve the chief riddle of the war-the
riddle Of Russian military efficiency
The Austrian public accepted the theory that in
war the Russians had learned nothing and Tor
gotten nothing-that they would fight as mechani-
cally and unintelligently as they had always
,ouobt. Herr Roda Roda and his colleagues have
been Obliged 70 confess that at most points that
theory has broken down. They have all spoken
with n certain wonderment Of the precision" OF
the Russian artillery FIRE. Such precision Is an
evidence OF high degree OF military organiza-
tionI They have noted another striking fact In
the winter battles In the Carpathians the Austro-
HUNGARIAN soldiers have suffered excessively from
frostbite and from various other foot ailments
But the Russians learned in Manchuria how TO
protect their feet and II Is the testimony OF all
thu war correspondents that Russian prisoners
rarely sufer from the foot maladies so prevalent
among the Austro-Hungarian soldiers
THE MAN WHO WAS WITH THE COSSACKS
DOES SOME MENTAL UNRAVELl,ING.
What the man who was with the Cossacks saw
also. as Herr Roda Roda admits clashes with
other Austro- Hungarian preconceptions as to the
laxity Of the Russian military system. But the
story speaks for itself. We In America, who have
been fed on similar misrepresentation about con-
ditions in the Russian armies, can profit by II as
we'll as the public Of Budapest and Vienna. Here
is the tale as Roda Rods tells It:
He vas a one-yesr volunteer, with the rank Of
corporal-in civil life forest engineer and with
a different name from the one | give him
Ukrainsh (the Ukraner). II was in the early
winter Our Carpathian front was not then closed
and a miniature war ragged in the mountain
rayines At that time General Baron Won Phanzer-
Baltin sent a Lsndsturm company to the Uzsok
Pass across the Carpathans
The Landsturm company got into stf fight
with the Cossacks. The commander, sixty-yesr-
old reserve lieutenant, fell, and the sergeant, an
elderly master carpenter from Siebenburgen, was
severely wounded. Thereupon the acting assistant
surgeon stripped OF his Geneva Cross band and
took command Of the company.

there were collected than twenty wounded
Cossacks and young Russian doctor was busy
over them. The urjadnk conducted the volunteer
in and introduced him, naturally, as doctor who
spoke Russian. and would consequently be well
come assistant
When the urjadnik was gone-before the doctor
could speak q word-the volunteer took the latter
aside and said to him in tone of excitement
which up TO now he had carefully suppressed;
Herr Doctor, I am physician. | am q prisoner,
and must go to Siberia II you betrsy me. You
have been a Russian student-are European;
you will not bring misfortune on me-" "Quiet
down, young mani" The doctor extended his hand.
"You remain my colleague, but to-day you do no
servce-because Of exhaustion, you understand.
shall look after the wounded alone. Come"
And the doctor led him into the living room OF
the foresters house.
Thus Ukrainsk spent evening among the
Cossacks They were the leaders of single de-
tached sotnia-a taciturn jessaul (coloneD, a
little fine spirited sotnik (captaln), handsome,
wild fellow from Hornushi, lieutenant, and three
or four under officers. They asked him little and
offered him tea As he drank IL hesitatngly, be-
cause it was not sweetened, the colonel called
out blusteringly: "what kind of Cossacks are
you? Is that the way you treat guest"
Immediately two orderles appeared with two
big dishes full Of corrections The Cossacks had
no sugar.
They brought in mutton and egg pancakes. The
colonel told with satisfaction how they had found
10000 eggs In Turka in q cellar and had carried
the boxes for weeks in ten requisitioned peasant
wagons.
"Such beautiful pancakes" cried the urjadnik,
will the Mother Czarina never bake for the Car
as bake for my people out of the 10000 eggs
from Turka. God be praised, there is wine, too"
BITS OF CONVERSATION AFTER VALIANT
ATTACKS ON THE CANTEEN.
They had drunk vsliantly; the bearded one led
the conversation. Look at our jessaul. Since
ten days he has not seen a woman. He seems to
me always sadder. say to my Cossacks: Run
and fetch pretty slippers, headcloths, coats
everything which the jessaul can give to women
But plant myself in & cellar and thus pick out
for him the prettiest girl in Turka. In Turka
they have no petroleum, no salt and no matches.
needed only TO call out In this cellar there are
salt and petroleum. and the women came In
swarms." He screamed it out and slapped him
self on the thighs. "You should have seen how
they streamed into the cellar"
The man from Hornushi sang He a very
handsome, tall, slender man. with eyes Of fire.
The others listened to him. The sotnik engaged
IN whispered conversation with the Austrian.
When would the war end? What they in the op-
posite camp thought Of the Russians? Whether
Austria was really completely beaten, whether the
Serbs were in Budapest and the Magyars now
wished to make separate peace with the Rus
SLAMS.
