announced in words permitting of no

The first Bulgarian army is attacking
the Serbian frontier northeast of NishS

THE BEST SOLDIER.
(Seattle P.-I.O

3UR1hs
 If there has been any official justi- fication needed for the short man he has it in the recent reports of medical officers with the British army, who say that the little fellow is the best sol dier, in point of endurance in ability to move quickly in times of emergency. There is no distinction made between the tall and the short man as to cour- age or disposition to fight, but there is claimed a higher efficiency for the short man on account of his economic physical equipment.
 On the long marches, on short ra- tions, in emergency actions requiring celerity and dash, the little man has been found greatly superior as fight ing unit to his beefy brother and much less likely to be killed or wounded.
 Dr. Pembrey. of London, contends that while the chief differences in men are in the length of their legs, the weight of brain is relatively greater in the short man than in the tall man and the mental reaction is more rapid. The short man needs, relatively, "less steam" to maintain the human ma chine at it's highest efficiency and he is lighter and quicker on his feet.
 With this high official commendation, the little mans stock ought to rise in the market Certainly he has no cause to humble himself in the presence of his altitudinous brother. About the only place. according to official advices, where the tall man has any advantage Is in baseball. and the efforts of short men have not been entirely wasted there.

RUSSIA OPENING UP.
(Boston Record.)

Two items from Russia interest the world today. One is the prospect for an army of S,O00.000 men-of whom only portion could be armed and equipped; the other and more signi- fcant, is the report that the czar has pardoned all political prisoners, which means that about 100000 will be set free
 If it were not so we'll understood that freedom of speech and act in Russia Is what it is, this would be an amazing revelation of the last tyranny of that great country. But the political of Tenders has been the peculiar prey of Russian government; no other land has pursued this victim so viciously. lp is significant that the czar. pre- sumably under advice, sees the wisdom of this present move. Let's hope it has something of the nature of perm anency.
 It is worth note that since the war has been well under way there have been several indications of a broad ening policy in the Russian empire, particularly emphasized in the more liberal treatment of Jews. That Rus sia Is undergoing some processes of moral regeneration is believed. It is bound to come. Russia is great country of undeveloped resources, and the biggest resources of all is it's human population.
 A liberalization of the government may set free great and admirable forces-not military conquerors, but other powers better worthy of culti- vation and expansion. This release of 100000 political prisoners is one little indication of the inevitable change.

outlay. This type of conveyance will be. far less popular than the jitney because it will of necessity be slower and give less frequent service. And it is the frequent service of the jitney that has made them popular.
 Along the Pacific coast, where cli- mate conditions make all-the-year op- eration feasible, motor transportation has come to stay. Both in and outside the cities il will cntinue to be a boon to the travelling public. But the present day jitney craze will be short lived unless the touring car owners raise the fare to a level that will give them an adequate income.

DEEP FISHING.
(American Magazine.)

The Albatross fishes with line three miles long, often four miles long. sometimes six miles long or over, a line of slender cable, but wonderfully strong, rolled off deck winch by a sputtering steam engine, that will bring up from the ocean floor, three or four ton haul, of sponges, crinoids, jelly fish, sea urchins, giant crabs, long white worms that break in two if you touch them. phosphorescent trees (really an imals). sea cucumbers with hideous heads. star fish. devil fish, pelican fish, lantern fish sharks teeth, whales ear bones, sea cows ribs and scores of other extraordinary things.
 The Albatross follows no beaten paths of commerce. She goes where other vessels rarely go. She explores for gotten corners of the seven seas, drops her great nets by day and by night, takes hundreds of soundings in un charted waters and, after a cruise of months, brings home her trophies for final safe-keeping in jars filled with alcohol and labeled with Greek and Latin names. This sort of work she has been doing for thirty odd years, ever since George w. Baird designed her engines for the United States fish cries service in 1882.
