stantinople. They have a way of say
ing in the camps that the Servian
army comes from the backwoods Of
Europe. Perhaps so. Perhaps it is
made up of peasants who have hardly
put off their soldier clothes for the
past three years. But the Servian
army is giving a good account of itself.
No army can do this without lead
er. Who heads the little force of Ser
via?
1t is a resourceful, brainy, asthmatic
little man with fire in his eye, General
Putnik. of whom the world has heard
little. He is one of those geniuses
whom the war is bringing forth as in
a trial by fire, while the drOss is disap-
pearing and the lesser leaders are sink
ing into their obscurity.
This is the little mamie is sixty
eight years old now-who, they say,
went through the Turkish war in his
slippers. For asthma racks his frail,
slight body. His infirmities require
him to live always in a warm room.
But the radiations from that mind Of
his cannot be confined. They flash
over the rocky spaces of Servia. 1t
were better to have Putnik in dressing
gown and slippers in a warm room
miles from the front than a stupid
blunderer right behind the firing line.
For it is by sheer power of brains that
the little Servian army is deployed
most effectively against the superior
enemy.
1t is losing fight. No one knows it
better than the Servians themselves.
That is what makes it share in the
qualities of the Spartan defense at
Thermopylae. Putnik is making 1t as
expensive as he can for the others.
And what of the Servian soldiers?
They are men Of iron. splendid fighters
who fight on, although semistarvation
has become to them almost the normal
condition. 1t is hard to realize the ex-
tent Of their privations and the loss of
life by war and disease that Servia
has suffered during this dreadful con-
test II the death Of brave little ma
ton is indeed at hand, If Servia is to
be wiped Off the map, it will leave at
least a splendid memory behind of
heroes who stubbornly defended every
inch Of their territory and who yielded
only to overwhelming numbers and to
the ravages Of disease. The sins Of
Servia win be forgiven and forgotten,
but its virtues will live long in the
memories OF men.

Saloniki is one of the first ports of

SaIoniki lies only about 40 miles from
Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, and for

PITH AND POINT.

If wishes were peace no nation would
be at war.
Peace and the end Of the world have
still got the prophets guessing.
1t may sound paradoxical, but the
apple Of a mans eye is usually a
peach.
Some men are as agreeable as they
look, while others just wear a smile in
public.
The line between the rest cure and
pure laziness is frequently indistin-
guishable.
Spending a dollar before it is earned
is like eating an egg that is to be laid
tomorrow.
Conscience in some people is that
which tells them when their neighbors
are doing wrong.
Even after the war is ended it may
take some years to wind up the diplo-
matte correspondence.
Reading. about Europe's war begins
to be exhausting, but it must be worse
to have to fight the war.
Anyway, let's prayerfully hope that
the war will not be prolonged until the
rights of neutrals are definitely estab-
liShed.

DEATH STRUGGLE

Fight TO a Finish Against
Overwhelming Odds.

"ThTHEN am killed you can flee

Like true soldier and king, Peter Is
in the trenches, dressed as a private
and counting death, as we are told some
of the warriors Of old courted it on the
field Of battle.
1t is not the first time that King
Peter joined his soldiers in the present
war. When the Austrians rolled back
the Servians late last fall and all but
overcame the plucky peasants it was
the appearance Of Peter among his men
that SO inspired them that the Aus

them, for she is pressed by Austrians,
Germans and Bulgars. Literally the
little nation is fighting for its life. If
it fails in its resistance it will be the
