The Invasion Of Serbia.

From the New York Sun.
With an Austro-G German army
breaking over the northern and
western border Of Serbia, a Bull
garian force menacing her east
ern frontier and an Anglo
French expedition advancing up
the Vardar valley to her aid, the
war returns to it's original
scenes. Serbia's most vulnerable
border is the northern, the low
level valleys of the Save and
Danube. The steep, rugged de-
files of the Drina furnish a nat
ural defense on the west. On
the east, with an evident mis-
trust of Bulgaria, she has
strongly fortified Prot, on the
Orient railroad a few miles from
the Bulgarian frontier, and she
has built Notifications COM
manding all of the passes. The
more recently acquired frontier,
to the south, running along
mountains and the edge of high
cliffs, is in a measure a natural
defense against invasion of the
Vardar valley. Here the Ser
bans won their victory over the
Turks at Kumanova and Koprili
in the first Balkan war and in the
second defeated the Bulgarians
in the desperate encounter at
Bregalnitza.
The Orient railway, the only
important overland route from
Western Europe to C~onstanti-
nople, is the great objective of
the Teutonic invaders. The Ser
bians have announced that they
will make their defense in the
mountains of the interior. This
appears the only tactics for their
army Of not more than 100000.
against a northern invasion. It
proved effective in the former
advance 0. the Austrians when.
after Serbians had been driven
into the heart of their country,
they turned upon their foe and
drove him with great loss be-
yond the Danube. In order to
protect the rear of this defensive
force it devolves upon the Anglo
French troops to guard against
Bulgarian attack on the railway
through the Vardar valley, for
upon this depend all Serbia's
supplies as well as the arrival of
any forces that the Allies may
send to her aid.
Serbia, alone, although her
army is said to be in excellent
condition, and the small expedi-
tionary force sent by the Allies
could hardly be expected to de-
feat the Teutonic and Bulgarian
forces. Constantine, according
to report, has refused to be
bound by the treaty with Serbia.
But it remains a problem if he
can overcome the evident pro-
Ally sympathy of his people.
Rumania, it has been announced,
would remain neutral, but at the
same time reports indicate that
she is modelling her troops on
the Bulgarian frontier. Again,
there remains a doubt as to the
enthusiasm with which the
Bulgars will take part in a war
against Russia, which many of
them consider their natural ally.
, Greece or Rumania could in the
present crisis do much to decide
the success or failure of the leu
ton drive, but that either will
participate in the war is mere
speculation.
The movement is one of the
most important of the war be-
cause of its possible effect. Upon
it hangs not only the fate of Tur-
key and Constantinople, but Teu-
tonic success would open the way
across Asia Minor to Bagdad and
India and imperil the French,

Progress in Agricultural Clubs
For BOYS and Girls.
Bulletin U. S. Dept. Of Agriculture

For Boys and Girls.
Bulletin U. S, Dept. of Agriculture
Washington, D. c., Oct. a.
There has been an increase Of
more than 41,OOO in the mem
bership Of various boys and
girls agricultural clubs conduct
ed by the State Agricultural Col
leges and the Department of Ag-
riculture in the northern and
western. states. At the close Of
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1914, there were 110,O77 mem
bers in the various club projects
in the 33 states covered by this
work. At the close Of the pres
ent fiscal year, June 30, 1915,
the membership was 151,194,
exclusive of the enrolment in
the mother-daughter canning
clubs.
This work is being carried on
comparatively in 26 of the 33
states in the northern, central,
and western territory by the
Department Of Agriculture and
the extension departments Of
the State colleges and agricul-
ture. In practically every state
short courses for boys and girls
and special demonstration
schools have been held at the
colleges and in the field. During
past year 1857 club members at
tended the mid-winter courses at
the colleges, 668 of these having
their expenses paid by local con-
tributions as a recognition of
their achievements in club work.
Of the 38 club members who, as
champions in their states, dis
tricts, or counties for 1914, have
become recognized as National
All-Star Club members, 81 are
now attending high schools, ag-
ricultural, or other colleges, 8 of
the remaining 4 have already
graduated from high school, and
] will go to an agricultural COL
lege this fall.
Experience has shown that the
work in the boys and girls
clubs can be carried on with
even greater success without the
aid of large cash prizes and
awards. The net profits from
the work itself have been found
to be the best possible incentive.
The members have their atten-
ton directed to problems of
farm and home management,
crop rotation, soil building, etc,
and in practically every state in
which the work is being carried
on a large number of club mem
bers are now working out three
and four-year rotations of crops.
The profits which they derive
from club work they are spend
ing on getting an education, OF
for purchase Of pure bred stock
and labor-saving machinery.
Many are even buying land and
thus acquiring an Invaluable
sense of dignity and indepen.
dence.
IN the canning work 938 public
demonstrations were held dur.
ing the year, with a total atten.
dance Of 118,367. These demon.
strations were held primarily
for the club members, but par.
ents were always invited and, as
a matter of fact, more than halt

Pride and Thrift.

people well prepared to profit by
his words, he had in mind more
than the accumulation of money,
more than the building up of
comfort and prosperity. He
knew better than most men that
the driving power of thrift is
wholesome pride, that the
shrinking of the sensitive soul
from pauperism in any shape is
the only influence strong enough
to support hardship and self
denial. And he also knew that
this independence of character
lis the backbone Of national san
ity and self-respect.
Prudence is an unlovely quail
ity. The saints of the Eastern
and of the Western world have
been alike disposed to contemn
it. But pagan Rome ranked it
with justice; and Christian the
ology, borrowing from Rome,
gave it place with the cardinal
virtues. IF il asks much il Oives
more. The careful husbandry
of early Puritan and Quaker laid
the foundations of wealth, and
made possible education and self
development. A race Of men and
women, reared in robust simplic-
ity, looked the world in the face,
feared no frugalities, and whined
for no favors. They did not like
to economic any more than we
like it now. They wanted what
they could not afford just as
much as we want it now. But
they we're a prouder people than
we are now. Genteel mendican-
'cy was as distasteful to their
spirits as holding out a hat on
the street corner.
We have grown kinder since
those stern days. Service is
now our watchword. In our
anxiety to smooth our neigh
boris path, we have pressed the
state, the city, the church, the
club, the college into work. We
have made the world a better
and softer place to live in; but
the pride that promoted thrift
and fostered independence is
waning visibly An immigrant
family for whose sore needs a
charitable association had APP
propriated six dollars spent half
that money in having their pic
lures taken. They said truth
fully and touchingly that as long
as they lived they might never
again have a chance to be pho
tographed, and that eff anything
happened to them" the pictures
would be a consolation. They
were simple, kindly people, but
they belonged to a recognized
type. They would go on asking
and receiving aims while they
lived.
Three years ago a famous
prima donna gave a concert in a
small town in the Middle West.
The tickets were two dollars and
a half; and a certain minister
and his wife-music lovers liv-
ing frugally on a small salary
determined to give themselves
the rare delight of going. It was
a great deal of money to spend
on a nights entertainment, but
such temptation seldom came
their way. When the point was
happily settled, they heard that
a friend and parishioner had
been thrown out of work. He was
in great distress, and there were
little children to consider. The
minister's wife had a hard half
hour of remuneration. Then she
sent the five dollars with a pref
ty note to her neighbor, and tried
not very successfully to forget
the pleasure she had forgone.
Two days later she received a
Irapturous note of thanks The

MINERS RESCUED WILL LIVE
Were Entombed Six Days-Miners
Buried by Fall of Roof Still Alive
When Rescued.

Coaldale, Pa.-Nine mine workers
trapped in a coal mine tunnel here at
noon on Sept. 27 were taken out alive
late Oct. 3. Physicians said all had a
chance to recover. The men were
caught behind the fall of a roof.
The rescue was accomplished after
200 workers had battled for six days
against discouraging conditions in the
choked up gangway. The workers
blasted and tore away more than 300
feet of solid rock, coal and timbers
that had been wedged tightly into the
gangway by the fall of the roof.
Rescuers found the nine men curled
up into compact mass to retain the
warmth of their bodies. All were ter.
ribly weakened.

BANDIT CHIEF IS KILLED
Report Says De la Rosa, Mexican Bor.
der Marauder, Was Led Into Am
bush and Killed.

Brownsville, Texas.-A report that
Luis De la Rosa, chief of the Texas
bandits, had been led into trap on
the Texas side of the river and killed
has been received here from Mission.
Some Mexicans supposed to be bandits
were led into ambush near Mission and
in the fight two or three Of them were
killed. In the absence of confirma-
'tion of the identity, officers here and
at Mission were inclined to doubt that
the one killed was De la Rosa Amer
leans in the fight were out of reach of
telephone communication.
Luis De la Rosa was the leader OF
a band of so Mexicans which on the
night of Aug. attacked Norias ranch
mouse, about so miles north Of Browns
vile. Fifteen Americans, including
seven ranchmen, drove De la Rosa off
with the loss of five killed after q
fight of an hour and half.
Col Robert L. Bullard, in command
Of infantry patrol, said the situation
is improving in the northern part Of
this country, where the outbreaks
originated, to such extent that two
more troop guards were withdrawn
from settlements near Lyford, where
farmers said they feel safe without
the presence of soldiers.
Raiding bands Of Zapata troops have
intermittently occupied the power
house for some time, and in the last
few days have been in complete con-
troll. Lack of fuel in the city inter
rupted the service of the plant long
ago and emergency stations have been
relied upon by the city for its lights
and power.
Reports from Vera Cruz, dated Sept.
30, announced that the Carranza gov
ernment had promulgated a decree
giving banks of issue As days to com
ply with the banking law.
