GIVES $4,000 TO THE POPE
Story Reveals characteristics Of the
Present Occupant Of the Pom
tlfical Throne.

An anecdote is being told about the
pope which shows his natural simplic-
ity OF manners. Since his childhood
his holiness has been great friend of
a Genoese nobleman who was in the
habit Of calling him by his Christian
name and used the diminutive of
James, "Giacomino," corresponding to
the English Jimmy" This nobleman
was recently received in audience by
the pope, who when he saw him kneel
down said mo, no; Jimmy won't al
low you to do that"
The pope and his friend had a long
talk and the nobleman, who is very
rich, asked the pope to allow him to
present him with some gift. 81 have
a splendid old silver service worthy of
pope and want to give it to YOU"
said the nobleman. mo, thank you,"
replied the, pope, 81 have no use for a
silver service; what l need is hard
cash, which is more useful for the
church" The nobleman asked per-
mission to sign a check there and then
and gave it to the pope. He drew it
for 100000, as that was what the sill
yer service was worth.

CUNNING FOR THE AIRsHIPs
Modern Warfare Has Developed New
Field That Calls for Scientific
Workmanship.

The advent of the aeroplane and the
airship has introduced hard prob
lem for the rifleman whose duty it is
to bring down hostile craft of this
kind, says Popular Mechanics. Even
with its enormous speed the bullet
discharged by modern rife is not
fast enough for the aeroplane, as has
been discovered in the European war,
but the expert riflemen who are con-
stantly on the watch for hostile air
craft are fast learning the require
ments for hitting these swiftly moving
targets. They no longer aim at an
aeroplane when trying to bring il
down, but at point about six lengths
ahead of the machine. The airman
running the hostile craft also knows
this and, when under fire, seldom flies
far in straight line if he can help it,
but follows zigzag course.
The Zeppelin is a much slower-mov-
ing craft and can be plugged" about
the center of the envelope if the rife.

Turn the Key to
Armageddon.

a wonderful fight, twice routed Austrian
armies. suffered from battle and from
typhus fever. To please Italy she had given
over her claim to Dalmatia north Of the
Narenta To please Rumania she had
been prepared to make sacrifices in Temes-
var. To satisfy Italy further, she hat
agreed to abide by the decision of the pow
ers as to Northern Albania. By what
right could they now ask her to surrender
Macedonia, conquered in 1912, now the
sole avenue open to her to draw supplies
from the outside world?
To this the Allies replied by appeals and
warnings, while the cannon of Germany
gave new warnings on the Danube From
tier. When these lines are written the
Serbian Parliament is meeting to consider
the question as to whether it will make
the all important sacrifice to Bulgaria.
But Bulgaria, like Rumania, was also
negotiating with the other side. From the
Turk she demanded Adrianope and the
part of Thrace assured her by the agree
ment Of London-that is, the region north
of the Enos- Mida line-as the price Of her
neutrality. The Turk has replied by vague
offers of railway concessions west Of Adj
rianople, mere trackage rights, to let Bull
garia reach her port of Dedeagatch. This,
too, is unsatisfactory. Finally Germany
is endeavoring by loans to keep Bulgaria
neutral and finds a powerful ally in the
Gar Ferdinand, who was born a petty
Austrian prince.

quite in the same fashion, was held by the
fear that if she attacked Austria and were
defeated Bulgaria would take her revenge.
But the Rumanian situation was still
more complex. In Austria the province OF
Bukovina, just across the Rumanian from
tier, is populated by Slavs and Ruma-
mans. In Hungary the majority OF the peo-
ple of Pennsylvania are Rumanians and
those of the Banat of Temesvar are Serb
and Rumanian. Finally the mass of the
people of the Russian province OF Bessa-
rabia are Rumanian and before the Russo
Turkish War much of Bessarabia had be-
longed to Rumania. Rumania, therefore,
began to make price for her services.
She would fight with the Germans If Aus
tria would give her Pennsylvania and
Bukovina. She would fight with Russia if
Russia would give her Bessarabia and
promise her Bukovina and both Transyl-
yania and the Banat of Temesvar after
the Teutonic alliance had been defeated.
Austria promptly rejected these terms;
they meant the instant rebellion of Hun
gary. Russia was not less prompt. Bes-
sarabia she would not give, nor the Slav
half of Bukovina. For Serbia she claimed
the Panscova portion of Temesvar, lying
opposite Belgrade and peopled by Serbs.
Here was deadlock. Meantime. Bulgaria
insisted that she would not refrain from
attacking Rumania unless Rumania gave
over her stealings of the Peace of Bucha-
rest. including Silistria.
Meantime, the Italian problem raised
new difficulties. Italy claimed Dalmatla
and Istria, but the mass of the people of
these Austrian provinces, apart from a
few coast towns, are Slavs, Croats, Serbs
and Slovenes. Serbia was willing to give
back Macedonia to Bulgaria if she were
assured her race brothers along the Adri-
attic and in addition Northern Albania,
of which Austria had deprived her. But
Italy insisted that she should have Dali
malta as far south as the Narenta River,
and demanded that the Kingdom of Al
bania should be maintained intact. This
left Serbia with a much reduced future
and with no readiness to surrender Mace
donia to Bulgaria.
