When a Duck Is a Deer

TNHOSE Englismmen who are finding
i American sentiment reflected in the comic
papers have neglected to study the chief
humorous publication Of the country, edited
by W. G. McAdoo. Perhaps they have failed
to take note of 1t on account of its misIead-
ing name, but Treasury Decisions connotes
the idea of humor as perfectly as either Life,
or Judge or Puck.
In the latest issue of Mr.. McAdoo's relax
Ing Journal we find that the Board of Cen
eral Appraisers has been solemnly consider
ing whether game bird, with its head, feet
and feathers on, and undrawn, can be classi-
ned as dressed game. It has decided that
when game bird has its clothes on, IL is
not dressed, and when 1t has been plucked
and drawn, II is dressed, and that It Is en-
titled to lower rate of duty when dressed
that is, undressed, than when undressed
that is, dressed. The situation becomes even
more interesting when we are told, in the
formal language of a judicial decision that
the feathered bird is venlson within the
meaning OF the distinction drawn by Con-
gress So a duck is not a duck when IL
passes through the custom house. but a deer
Not less interesting is the decision handed
down little while ago that spoons and
ladies' are not hollow but fiat. If this pro-
nouncement could change the physical char
aeteristics Of spoons that man who planned
70 raise square peas would find a ready
market for his crop. unless some teacher OF
etiquette should persuade every one that
peas should be eaten with a. fork.

and purpose-of a greater Serbia when
the Drang mach Osten' of Pan -Germanism
found concrete geographical expression on
the map in 1908, by Austrias absorption of
Bosnia and Herzegovina"-I have quoted
Leon Dominian, the geographer-then it
seemed that the cream of the Serbs was
definitely slain. They had conquered the
Turk and set themselves free-only to pass
under another yoke.
Under the Austrian seizure lay the seed of
the present Austro- Serbian War Bosnia is
a portion, at once national and geographic,
of Servia It's seizure by Austria was part
of the Pan-Germanic drive toward the east
and south, of which so much has been writ
ten and little is understood. A definite
part of the same plan was the attempt
which ended in blood and derision-to create
a new Balkan nation: Albania.
This war will decide the destiny of the
little shattered Slavic nations, whose age-old
homes lie along the great Balkan highway
which binds the East to the West In that
sense it is a war for the liberation of all the
subjugated races Indeed, France has almost
officially declared: This is a war for the
liberation of the shackled nationaltes of
Europe-for all nations, great or small
strong or feeble, old or young; we shall
strike the shackes off the wrists OF Pole and
Serb and Slovak and Alsatian, and not will
ingly will we see them fastened on the Bel
gian."
Foreseeing such an end, the governments
have set their ethnographic mapmaSers to
work. POSSIBLY Mr.. Wilson has not over
looked the matter) It seems to be public
opinion that no peace settlement will endure
for year If it is not based upon freedom
and enfranchisement for the subjugated
races. that the new frontiers must be lin
guistic and racial And when peace comes
when the soldier gives way to the statesman
the great Powers will have exact and def
mite information as to Just where these
eternal frontiers run.

Gloom DispeIlers of the Right Kind

VIZ HoEVER can read the reports of busl-
w ness booms and keep the corners of his
mouth drawn down is an incorrigible pessi-
mist. Take for example, the summary of
orders for railroad material which have been
given to American manufacturers since the
beginning of the year. Read it and then
look glum, II you can.
The American railroads have arranged
within 80 days to buy about $50 OOO0OO worth
of cars, rails and locomotives. The Penn
sylvania Railroad will spend large part
of this amount for 5000 new cars. The
Southern Pacific, the Erie, the Chicago. Bur-
lngton and Quincy, the Illinois Central and
the Chicago and Northwestern are buying
new rails and new locomotives and freight
cars, and Swift & Co. find the prospect for
the distribution of meat so bright that they
have arranged to build 500 new cars The
whole continent Is covered by these railroads
They find themselves in a condition to get
the new equipment which they long have
needed
The French, Russian and Chlian Govern
ments have come here for new equipment.
The Russian order Is for s120OO.OOO worth of
light cars from Pacific coast company.
More than s4O00O,OOO is thus to be distributed
in America without taking any account of
the orders which were brought here the other
day for 100000 900 worth of war supplies of
various kinds. This is the sort of thing that

They never will subdue him,
The Flemish Lion proud:
Think they by savage onslaught,
To find his spirit cowed?
No, never will they crush him,
So long as Right is Right;
So long as Flemish honor,
Unstained shall live and bright.
Old Time consumeth cities,
And thrones may pass away;
But the strength of Belgic manhood
Shall die not in a day:
Let Caesar bring his armies,
We've laughed their rage to scorn;
AS ever from wild carnage,
A nation new Is born.
We've met the Roman Caesar,
And legion was their name;
Led on 10 dire destruction,
Who fell when Caesar came.
The ancient Belgic honor
Hath stood two thousand years.
It's youth and strength renewing
At sight OF blood and tears.
''Might is RightP' No, never,
That lie hath cursed the past;
But "Rlght is Right forever,
And Man shall rise at last;
In lowly toll unceasing,
We live in peace and plod
Nor ask a sweeter portion,
But man is not a elod.
The cry Of little peoples"
Shall rise to pierce the sky;
And God shall keep our nation,
And reckless Might shall die;
Too long hath slaYish terror
Kept down the souls OF men;
Up springs the Flemish lion
When bearded in his den.
We fight for home and homeland,
For freedoms holy sod;
Fer honor, virtue, infancy,
For justice, and for God;
The noble Flanders Lion,
With hre-lght in his eyes,
Springs forth to certain conquest,
And low the bloodhound lies.
The hand OF God is mighty.
Is strong TO guard and smite;
Prevalent not injustice.
The peoples prayer for right
Shall rise, like hallowed incense
Before His holy sight.
Purgation must we suffer.
Awhile in pain and strife;
Whence we shall rise triumphant,
To new and endless Life.
Then han, the Flanders Lion,
Let covert Zoe beware;
For thrones are not mistaken.
A nation proud and fair
Shall issue forth in spiendor,
Surviving pain and loss;
For Flanders lives forever.
And trlumphs on the Cross.
