THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

"The Vardar river valley, where the Bulgarians and French have been dead-blocked now in a desperate cliff -and-canyon struggle of weeks presents a battle-ground almost as unfavorable as that along which the Austrians and Italians are contend ing" says a war primer given out to- day by the National Geographic So- ciety. Below Uskup this valley is formed by the attenuation of wild gorges and small mountain-r1bbed plateau. It is dominated by one bare rocky peak or mountain shoulder aft CT another. and along it's entire course is protected by countless natural strongholds. Here cutting deep grooves through the cliffs and there plain whose bowl may be dominated by mountain placed artillery on ev- cry hand, the problem of forcing their way down the Vardar's course is, likely the most severe physical prob lem confronting the Bulgarians.
 The Vardar rises in two branches near the Albanian boundary, which flow north and unite just before the river reaches Uskup. Here it sweeps east and southeast through its chaos eastern corner of Servia and the Greecian frontier. It empties into the Gulf of Saloniki 12 miles south west of Salonih port. From Uskup, it Is a Macedonian river.
 The French hold this valley from point some miles below Koprili. The roads along this old section of the valley, which forms the second most noted Balkan route, that of Nish -Saloniki are very bad The rail- way parallels the rivers course and, since it's building has carried most all of the Servian traffic that has flowed toward the Aegean Sea This railway is noted as being one of the slowest in the Balkans. The Mace donian peasant pays for his travel by the hour. and. in order to give him his moneys worth, the Uskup-Salon- iki railroad hardly out-distances the OK team, and the hours and the price of the cart and the train bear a strong relationship to one another.

BIackIistinu JutIanders,

Remarkable reports are in circula- tion at the Danish capital regarding the treatment of the Danish popula- ton in the north of Schleswig- -Hol- borders on Denmark and which was formerly Danish territory. There are still over a hundred thousand inhab- itants of Danish extraction and of Danish tongue, commonly known as South Jutlanders in this German territory and ever since they came under PTussian rule there have been charges that the Danes suffered per- secution, although for some years be- fore the outbreak of the European war the trouble had nearly ceased. It is now charged that the Danes are meeting with new affronts, which are bitterly resented since a great num- Der of the Danes have fought with great bravery and distinction as part of the German army in the present war. It is said that German com manders have been drawing up cer- tain blacklists of the Danish Jutland- CTS, and that these persons are be- ing punished with a severity out of proportion to the offences commit ted
 the North of: the province of Sches- wig -Holstein, was placed under a military rule which superseded the authority of the high bailiff. One of the first measures taken by this mill itary command was to- send 300 South Jutlanders to prison. It is charged that many of these persons were awakened in the middle of the night and rushed off to the jail scantily clad. It is declared that the arrests were made on tenious and imagina- tive evidence. such as the fact that a large number of fishermen who were arrested were put in prison because they possessed boats in which it was thought that men eligible for mili- tary service would try to escape. Many of these fishermen were over 70 years old. and one of these old men, who has four sons and three sons-in- law serving in the German army complains that he was kept for six days in a prison cell on most meagre prison fare. Most of the prisoners taken at this time were kept in Jail for a month.
 Danish newspapers in the province are subjected to the most rigid cen sorship and one of these papers, "Heindaf' was suppressed for eight days because 1t failed to mention the birthday of the German Empress, ac- cording to the editors, who added that their protests that the Empress had expressed the desire to pass the day quietly did not serve to. move the

SHE LIKES PLANTS

'aThe open season for house plants has begun" mournfully said the man who had got on at Hyde Park. ''I'd feel better about 1t if my wife had a fad for mushrooms or silkworms or baby rhinoceroses. As it is, my home life is uncomfortable from October till May!"
 "Don't you care for fowers?" There was some surprise in the tone of the man who had got on before.

 Innumerable reports of such cur tailment of privileges are current in Copenhagen. some of them well au- thenticated and otherA mere rumor. In the latter category perhaps is the report here that practically all per- sons formerly rejected by the German army authorities on account of physi- cal inforInity have been accepted for military scervice, even, the rumor goes, men with club feet, others who are lame. crippled, and suffering from chronic illness of various sorts.

A eRouNpLEss STORY.

Many are the stories which have been circulated in this country since the opening of the war, which though they do no particular harm are really groundfess as to facts. It is a condi- ton, however which exists regardless of the war, though that has furnished an added opportunity for their manu- fracture and that appears to be the situation concerning a New York re- port to the effect that plans are being made by number of those who owe allegiance to the central powers~to go aboard the German liners which are laid up in that harbor, cast off the hawsers and steal away to the father land.
 However alarming this might ap- pear to be the fact is that this coun- try has no objection to any such plan If it exists. The German merchant

THE KAIsElR's CONFERENCE.

Although the announcement was quickly forthcoming following the re- cent conference of Kaiser Wilhelm and. Kaiser Francis Joseph in Austria, the second which they have held since the opening of the war, that it has no special significance, it is impossible to believe that it does not mean some thing more than friendly social call.
 Close upon 1t comes word to the ef- feet that Austria is seeking a. separate peace with Italy and while this is not the first time such a report has been circulated, the increased activity which has been displayed by the Italian forces resulting in the impending fall of Gorizia, the key to Trieste, and the slow but steady drawing of the net around Tolmino and Doberdo which means that Italy is gradually driving the Austrians out of that territory which it covets, furnishes grounds for the belief that such may be the case.
 Certainly the central powers would be elated if they could eliminate Italy from the opposition, for while it has not required any great portion of the Austrian troops thus far to hold it back, and Austria is the only one of the two countries against which Italy has actually declared war, it is in- dicated that it will soon be in a po- sition to be a much more serious men ace to the dual monarchy. Italy like wise is about to enter the Balkan fight with the troops which have been land ed in Albania, while it's navy is CO., operating with the ships of the other allies in the Aegean sea.
 Italy spurned peace offerings at the start and 1t has repeatedly declared that it will not negotiate separate peace, but time will tell whether that was the object of. the recent confer ence of the monarchs.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Recalls British Acts of the Past.
 Mir Editor: In your editorial of to- day you mention the case of the British steamship Barulos and the humane conduct of the submarine commander in the saving of lives of people who had thrown themselves into the water as the result of a needless panic, and in allowing the ship to proceed later.
 While Britain is allowed to play the role of an angel, through the aid of the censor and press, while she is in reality playing the role of a liar, bully and braggart, have the people of this country forgotten the Revolution, the war of 1872, and the attitude of Great Britain in our Civil war, when for no reason at all she despatched 5000 British troops to Canada. with the idea of terrorizing the union, the fitting out of privateers in English ports to prey upon our commerce, which has never recovered, and which English capital intends shall not?
 Who hired Indians in our early wars to prey upon our defenSeleSS women and children? Have the people of this country forgotten the terrible Indian massacres instigated by English gold? If the peoples sympathy is with Great Britain in this war. wait till English troops get upon German soil and then we may form our opinion, but they say history repeats itself and I am sure it will in the present war. I am a Yan- kee whose forefathers have fought and died for the good old Stars and Stripes against English tyranny, and it makes my blood boil to read the lies of the English press, but my heart goes out to the brave French troops, for have the people of the good old union for gotten the dashing young F'renchman, Lafayette, who was one of the greatest aids in securing the help of France, and last, but not least, Baron von Steubenf the Prussian drillmaster who instilled discipline into the raw re- cruits of Washington's army? To the memory of these two men and their people we owe a debt we never can repay, but to England we owe nothing but the memory of defenseless pioneer women and children slain Nby English gold.

We cannot refrain from wondering what help Helen Keller will be to Henry Ford in his deadhead excur- sion to Europe to tell the folks over there to quit fighting.

It is announced that the Daily News of Bridgeport has suspended publication It had a brief existence. Its first number appeared during the recent municipal campaign, and the purpose of its appearance was to as- sist in the election of sthe republican ticket. Was the success of the ticket dependent on the assistance which it rendered? We guess not. Practical sympathy of leading democrats in Bridgeport made the assistance un- necessary. The paper sold for one cent. Its early death was helped by it's small price. Publishers of news papers in Bridgeport have had an ex- perience with one cent papers which should have convinced MT. King and his friends that at that price it was difficult to meet the obligations of the counting room.-Hartford Times.
