few Of the necessary facts at hand ro,
glrding the latest German-American
submorine situation, the cabinet con

The heart is an organ situated in the upper left-hand section of the hu= man trunk, sometimes called chest It's duties correspond to the duties of the managing editor of a metrop olitan daily in that circulation comes first.
 It also is responsible for many in telligent individuals quitting high speech showing what naughty, naughty (mamma spankD world we live Tn, as even the busiest bean in town finds it difficult to retain cere- bric balance while going through the course of the blood:

The king and his three children were captured and taken to Rome to grace the occasion O the victorious generals trium- hant entry. Because of his achieve ment in adding Macedonia to the empire Paulus received the surnamo Macedonicus
 For more than fourteen centu -a after the Paulus- -Perseus ihcid~44 Seres played a waiting role in worlI history, but in 1345 the great states man, soldier and lawgiver Stephen, afsectionately called Dushan, in this city assumed the title of Emperor of the Serbs and Romanians (Romans), If the Bulgars and the Albanians.' Tor a time Seres was the capital of the new empire created by Stephen as s bUlwark state between the aggres- sive Turks and Christian countries of Europe. As the Byzantine empire was slowly disintegrating the forceful Servian emperor met with great suc- cess in his effort to weld Serbs, Bull gars, Greeks and Albanians into a strong Slavic power. Macedonia and Albania were taken from Greece. and an army was recruited from these provinces as well as from Serbia for an expedition against Constantinople While on the march toward the city on the Bosphorus the emperor was seized with sudden illness and died in great agony, probably the victim of a treacherous poisoner His son and successor, Urosh, a boy of nine teen when called upon to assume command had not inherited the genius of his father, and the Serb Greek em- pire was soon disrupted.
 "Seres remained a Serbian city, however, for nearly a hundred years. It was captured in the middle of the fifteenth century by Sultan Mural H. and remained under Turkish do- minion until quite recently, when as one of the spells of the war waged by Balkan nations against the Turks in Europe it fell to Greece
 One half of the population of Seres is Bulgar, one fourth is Greek. one seventh is Turkish and most of the remainder is Jewish"

AT WORK ON TIT.

Yesterday the first meeting of the
 joint commission to consider the
 Mexican question was held at New London. From now on the three Mexican citizens and the men appointed by President Wilson to look
 after the American side will try to settle by logical methods some of the harrassing issues presented for consid- eration. The men sent from Mexico represent the highest type of Mexican intellect. The chairman. Luis Cabrera, is an eminent jur1st of Mexico City, lawyer known throughout Mexico as one of the leading legal lights of the country. Another member from Mexico Is Albert Pani, who was min ister of education under the late President Madero. With these two is Ygnacio Bonillas an engineer known to many Americans who have sought man of great technical training and common sense.
 These three Mexicans meeting with the American commission led by Franklin Lane may find a way out of the difficulties presented to the two nations. They may fail; but at least they will have the satisfaction of knowing that the matter was gone over. in 8 calm and dr9iberate man. ner and without the ~gtemplation of bloodshed as so many desire. The Mexican problem Is of long standing. It grew from a little revolution more than one hundred years ago to a con- stant menace on our southern border. It has passed through many admin istrations and has not been settled. It was @ sore spot on the Roosevelt ad- ministration. The Taft administration suffered from it's annoyance and at last found relief in turning it over to MT. Wilson. The past two months, or since the American troops went to the border, have witnessed more quiet and serenity that any other time during the past four or five years. Now that the disturbances have been held in check, there is every reason to hope that the commissions from America and Mexico will find a way out of a perplexing situation.

The New Petrograd.
(New Haven UniOn).

Those who knew the old St. Peters, burg would not know the new Petro- grad. When the Russians changed the name they were in the act of all most completely changing the place.
 The population of the Russian capi- tai has increased nearly 40 per cent. since July, 1915. This is partly due to the arrival of hundreds of thou sands of fugitives from Poland, the Baltic provinces and Volhynia, partly to the erection of numerous new fac tories and the enlargement of old ones. The industrial establishments in Petrograd and the surrounding towns now employ six hundred thou sand men and women. X Many of the workers have been brought from the interior of the empire.
 Within a radius of 30 miles of Pet rograd every existing factory produces war material and nothing else. The Russian industries after some delay have been as completely mobilized for the war as those of Germany. Under the direction of Russian, English and French experts the factories turn out enormous quantities of shells of all sizes and cartridges for machine guns and rifles. The Putiloff Works now make nearly as many big guns as the world famous Krupp Works in Essen and it is asserted that more machine guns are finished every week in Rus sia than in Germany.
 One of the most serious questions the auth critics of the capital have to wrestle with is the housing of the fugitives and the large army of work CTS brought from other cities and the rural districts. Rent in the sections inhabited by the laboring~ classes is 150 to 200 per cent. higher than be- fore the war. Thousands of families and single persons are not able to ob- tain quarters and have to be housed in barns, storage houses and wooden barracks erected near the factories
 Although food is plenty in the in terior provinces and in Serbia 1t can not be brought to Petrograd because the railway rolling stock is used for military purposes. Food in the city is almost prohibitively dear and there are many starving, thousands of crip- pied soldiers roam the streets beg ging, and yet wages are better than ever before in the history of Russia and never was there such a demand for labor, both skilled and crude
 In spite of all this travellers report that strange to say the people are en- thustastio for the war, are in com paratfvely good humor and are ,con- fdent of victory and better times breast as it does in the western world.

What Is Time For?
Waterbury Republican,


 A Japanese visitor was being shown around New York city by an American friend. They were boarding a subway local when the American exclaimed: 'Wait-here's an express coming. Let's take that"
 The Jap obedient1y followed his host out of the local and into the ex- press train, and then, being curious about all things American, inquired why they had done it.
 "Because we save three minutes on the express" replied the American with finality.
 The Jap was silent for a long time. Then he asked quietly:
 But what do you do with the three minutes?"
 To the American, a Typical New Yorker" that question was the height of absurdity. He hardly considered it worthy of an answer. But to a really philosophic mind the Jap's question was pregnant with meaning In fact, it might be taken as an unusually keen comment on American life
 People save time in this country, oceans of it. But what do they do with the time? Do they use it for purposes really worth while? Do they turn it into genuine, lasting human values? Do they use it to enrich their lives? Or are they like Kipling's ban darlog-the monkey people-getting through with everything quickly in or der to take up something else as in- consequential, and so on and on in an aimless circle?

Just when the people made this mo- mentous decision the Senator does not disclose. They must have so de- cided or the Senator would not have said so.
 We have a sneaking suspicion, how ever, that the Senator is talking out of his turn. He is the first man in this country to make an unqualified prediction on the forthcoming elec- tions. He may be right and he may be wrong. The returns alone will show the truth or falsity of his prog nostications. Probably the Senator was merely talking for expediency and felt that whatever he said in New Haven on the night of September 5 would be long forgotten before the night of November 7. In that he is undoubtedly correct. It will be for gotten even before then. But he should know he spells 8 lot of fun of the moment by coming out flat footed and saying that the people have decided to place Charles Evans Hughes in the White House. If the Senator has such information he should keep it to himself and not take the joy out of so many lives, out of so many hearts who feel the other way round. There are lot of people in this country and not all have decided for Hughes. There are those who have decided upon Wilson as the man to retain in the White House. Novem- Der and not Brandegee will tell just how the real people have decided.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 7.-The suddenly developed Bulgarian coun- ter-offensive in northeastern Mace donia brings the important town of Seres once more into the limelight of world history: This ancient city, Takhino, forty miles west of the Aegean port of Kavala, and forty three miles by rail northeast of salonika, is the subject of today's war geography bulletin, issued by the National Geographic society from it's Washington headquarters, which says:
 with a history dating back to the days of Xerxes' memorable retreat from Greece after the disastrous battle of SaAamis, the town of Seres was. until the recent partitioning of Ottoman possessions in the Balkan peninsula, the chief city of the Turkish district of Salonika and was noted as the center of the Turkish woolen industry as well as an impor- tant cotton, tobacco and carrot trade post. According to the latest avail able statistics 1t Is place of 30,O00 inhabitants and is situated in the midst of one of the most fertile regions in the world. In fact, Golden Plain iAltin Ovassi) is the name given the district by the Turks For many miles in every direction from the shores of Lake Takhino there is a suc- Cession of prosperous, gleaming white hamlets in settings of luXurant green.

Tokio, Sept. 7, 11:45 a. m.-Expres- sions of satisfaction and appreciation regarding the speech of Ebert H Gary last Tuesday night are voiced by the press. It is evident here that Japan is deeply interested in tho na- ture of the United States general pol icy toward China, more particularly whether the government would SUD- port the participation of American capitalists in the five powers reorgani- zation loan.
 Tokio has the impression that Washington in undecided. The Times hopes that the fair and impartial view that MT.

The newspaper fears the existence of efforts to convince Amer jeans that the United States has an enemy in Japan regarding China, with Japan determined to thwart American enterprises.

There is no reason why both nations cannot cooperate" the Times asserts
