by the National Geographic Society.
The primer reads as follows:
Dominating the southern part of

Uskup, situated 100 miles northwest
OF Saloniki, in a picturesque valley
at the foot of two mountain ranges,
the Shar Planina and the Kara Dagh

the north and east. Although a city
Of some size, possessing more than
10000 inhabitants and a number of
busy factories, 1t has more Of a rural
aspect than that OF a town compared
with Nish and Belgrade. with the
loss Of the northern Servian cities,
however. its strategic value becomes
more important than that OF any other
place in the small State.
The railways from Nish and Nit
rovitza meet here. whence they pro-
coed as trunk line TO the port of
Saloniki Among the thoroughfares
radiating from the city are a road
NORTHWEST TO fFf2Fen, one TO the West.
to the commercial center, Gostiyar.
and one east-northwest to Ku-
manoyo, which last-named takes Its
way through narrow valley to the
Bulgarian frontier. II is along this
road that the Bulgarians fought their
way. Another important road runs
south to Koprili. and. thence. south
west to Monastir, one OF the best
sheltered cities In the land under the
conditions Of the present war.
in normal years. uskup does a
considerable business. Of an average
value Of about &5,000.000. The staples
Of its commerce are opium. grain,
livestock. fruit and tobacco. It's
principal manufactures are leather
and dye-stuffs. Its industries include
also weaving. Woodworking. and the
production OF flour and wine. Cskup
continues the traditions of the an
cient city Of Scupi which was de-
stroyed by an earthquake in SIS.
Justinian rebuilt the city and gave 1t
the name OF Justiniana prima, and in
the early Middle Ages II served az
the capital Of Servian Tsars."

There are just two islands in the

pocket formed by Asia Minor and
Syria at the northeastern end of the
Mediterranean. being about equally
distant from the mainland to the
North and to the East 1t has an
area Of 1854 square miles, or is an

Rhode Island combined. Its greatest
length is l4l miles, and its greatest
width Is SO miles, while its average
width is more than 35 miles. A great
part OF the island is taken up by two
mountain ranges, one of which fills
much of the southern and central part
and the other of which stretches along
the northern coast.
Now Part Of British Empire.
The coast Of Asia Minor lies as
miles to the North. and that Of Syria
between so and So miles to the East.

"A wide valley runs East and West,
