Serbs Are Returning.

Great numbers of Serbians who fled before the advancing armies of the central powers last fall and winter are returning to their former homes. Most of the returning fugitives come from districts along the Montenegrin and Albanian frontiers, over which they found it impossible to accompany the retreating army, and most of them also are of the urban class, as the rural Serbian population for the most part remained at home.
 Several carloads of the returning Serbs pass northward every day, large- ly destined for Belgrade, and they seem cheerful enough at the prospect of getting back to their old homes. Ow- ing to the lack of rolling stock, they are obliged to travel in freight cars but with the warmer weather the dis comfort of this is mitigated. So fa1 comparatively few young men have returned. The armies of occupation are doing what they can to assist ir the repatriation.
 The Serbian farms, which have been badly neglected since the outbreak o. the war, are no wbeing cultivated n. Germans and Austro- -Hungarians have brought numbers of steam blows into the country. and the soldiers are ev-

EEDERAIL TAxEs

It makes 1itle difference whether it Is local, state or federal taxation, the question is always one which deep- " interests the people. They are the ones affected by it and therefore there ia reason that they should be con- cefned. It would be well if there was e greater interest taken in this mat Nr
 When Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department sends word to Congressman Kitchin, administration lender in the lower house, that in his judgment congress need not be asked to devise any new forms of taxation, because the retention of the duty on sugar. the stamp tax, the income tax and the surtax on incomes, the in- iheritance taxes and other devices will in his opinion produce sufficient reve- nue to provide for the expenses of the government without additional levies, it is of course a statement which commando much attention.
 There have been some unexpected results in connection with the taxes already existing. There has been a greater revenue than was anticipated such as a gain in income taxes oi about $35 100000 and an unexpected AAINA EaAN1o AAQ4AA @AAc AeAA OA AAQAOA6 dAAN tobacco to the extent of $30, ,000, ,00t more ko help out the condition of tht treasury which was considerably ovel <loo .0o00 in ehe hole at the clost of tho last fiscal year and which wal ntiH showing deficit up to the frs of the present month of S28,000,000.
 That the secretary of the treasurs sres way of making up this amoun without demanding more of the peo. nle is of course gratifying. but it doei npE blind the people to the fact tha they are meeting the taxation whicl has been imposed by the admlnistra tIpn because Of it's insistence upol ths treatment of the tariff.

anywhere at work, blowing and sow ing. Notwithstanding their efforts, much land remains fallow. Some of this has been so long uncultivated that vigorous stand of scrub oak has con- quered it.
 The Serbian women are doing their part in agricultural work. The mili- tary commanders have effected a re- distribution of the country's livestock by acquisitions in those parts not af- fected by the war. and most of the households again have cow, some pigs and chickens. Milk and eggs can be bought everywhere. At Nish milk costs about ten cents a liter and eggs eighteen cents dozen Meat is scarce but bread may be obtained in any quantity and without bread cards. The women and children look well fed, but most of them are poorly dressed.
 Several women with whom The As sociated Press correspondent talked said that they were glad the war had passed beyond Serbia's borders. They wanted to know when their men would return. None had any news of them, It was immaterial to them, they said who governed Serbia in the future provided there was no more war. One young woman in city dress, however held different views and expressed them in fairly good French.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
There Are Sheep Raisers and Sheep
 Raisers2

Mir. Editor: The nice letter by James B. Palmer, who is not only one of the greatest stock and sheep breeders in America, but a humane citizen also does not in any way refute my claims of Dogs and Dogs. should have added that there are sheep rais- CTS like MT. Palmer, (who by the way takes care of his sheep and don't lose them), and sheep raisers who have done just as I said for nearly half a century. that is. turn a lot of sheep on waste land that can hardly supp port mosquitoes.
 It has become a standing joke here, to look at once at the killed by dogs' page of the town report to see how many hundred dollars a certain individual has received. I am not referring to one town where the town reports for nearly 50 years show an annual payment to one name, but to several towns where one name aI- ways appears in the "dog kills sheep column. In one town not dozen miles from l Lisbon one man has received more than $16.000 for sheep killed by dogs and the entire lot of sheep were killed on a gravel plain unfit to feed goats In speaking of the value of certain dogs, I probably should have exempt 1 ed MT. Palmer and his valuable sheep l but the fact still remains and MT Palmer makes it more clear that tC raise sheep you must take care O l them.
 It's only a few years ago our cam paign orators were bowling about des troying the sheep industry. Tn, sheep industry of the west that the. referred to was usually handled a the rate of 1 greaser with six bits day, one sheep dog worth ten dol lars and four bits, and 1000 sheer Some industry for the poor workinl
 man. The same orators howle
 about removing the tax on hides, kill ing the hide industry. Those fellow never stopped to think that hides ar
 not product. but By-product. N
 one raises an OK for the sake of hi ] hide
 The farmer who loves dogs ''ha
 evidentally studied the question ( sheep about as thoroughly as M Palmer, and we may hear from hiI z again.
 I have no feeling akin with him o the love dog question, but do thin that men like Hon. James B. Paine
 of Lisbon, who are known almost th
 world over for their judgment on stoc raising of all kinds should be in th front rank of men to look up the les
 than human beings who turn a k
 of sheep adrift to starve or be cate
 up by dogs. Humane treatment { 5 animals demands such reforms eve } though the sheep referred to do m 3 roam gravel banks Of Lisbon.

Stories of the War
RuIsarians Have Learned Much.


 The closing at Sofia recently of three of the largest military hospitals is an indication of how far removed Bull garia is from the European war The Saloniki front has been quiet for weeks and the attack on AvIona is a mater concerning only the Austro- Hungarians The Bulgarian army is resting on its arms. In a few days several other hospitals will be closed and that in charge of the Austro- Hun garian mission will be converted into an electro therapeutic institute for the recovery of damaged limbs.
 Nevertheless the Bulgarian govern ment is calling to the colors the young men due to serve in the army. A great deal of reorganization is in progress, cooperation with the German and Austro- Hungarian troops having re- suited in many a good lesson to the Bulgarian officers and general staff. Reequopment has also been under taken; to what extent is indicated by the fact that the acquisition of Ger ] man and Austro- Hungarian motor l trucks has enabled the Bulgarian gov ernment to furlougtl 60,000 army driv- CTS and their OK teams and wagons. I These men and animals are now back in their villages, tilling the soil for the 1 spring sowing.
 Bulgarian officers readily admit that l they have learned a great deal from the Germans and HAustro -Hungarians Not a few of them show in appear l ance and bearing. Thougk~always ac- ] eepted as a good soldier, the Bulgar- ian has hardly had the opportunity to brothers in arms. At present there fore there is a general tendency to be as much like the German and Austrian as possible. This has influenced the cut of the Bulgarian officers uniform and especially the shape of his cap af,aIaf tendency.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

CoIonia DubIan, which has suddenly loomed large on the Mexican horizon, is the subject of today's war geog- raphy bulletin, issued by the National Geographic Society from it's Washing ton headquarters, which says:
 '"The proposed new base camp for General Pershing's punitive expedi- tionary force in Mexico is one of sev- eral prosperous Mormon settlements in the Casas Grandes valley, some 15O Grande, Sierra Madre 6 Pacific Rail- road. The colomists from Utah have made the land blossom to such an ex- tent during their four decades of oc- cupation that the Indians believe the prosperity of the strangers to be due to the discovery of secret gold mines worked at night.
 "All the territory in the Colonia Dublan region is a mine of inexhausti- ble wealth to the archaeologist, for a prehistoric race. Among the most interesting of these are the ruins of houses built in the numerous caves which dot the cliffs of the CaSas Grandes River. Not only were these caves used as places of residence. but, like the ancient Egyptians, the aborig- ines often set aside places for the | dead. Beneath the concrete floor of | the latter scientists have discovered
 many mummies at depth of a few feet. Among the pecuiarities of these remains have been noted the fact that the bodies lie on their left sides, the knees drawn up and the faces turned | toward the setting sum-, WhiIe no | artificial means of embalming were | employed, the bodies in some of these caves are in a remarkable state o1 l preservation, thanks to the saltpetre in the dust. The hair of these people

 "In the Sierra Madres, whtSh lool

 most inexperienced hunter who starti II out from Casas Grandes accompanie( by a mounted Mexican guide. Thii

ABANDON THE PORK aARREL

It ought to have been understood by the members of congress long ago that this is no time for the filling of the pork barrel Yhere is serious need for the federal funds in many ways which ought not to be neglected and the money which should be used for such purposes ought not to be turned into channels which may mean waste or for objects which can wait just as well as not.
 Attention has been called to this on numerous occasions and every effort to devote government money to pat ronage building has met with strong opposition but none more surprising Iy, however. than that which came from Senator Tillman the other day when he came out fatfooted against the big appropriation for rivers and harbors. The senator recognized that his state was receiving nearly third of a million for such use but it did not deter him from declaring that appropriations should be justified be- fore made.
 National interests must have been uppermost in his mind when he said T am not panic stricken or fright ened, but when consider the possi- Dle dangers that may confront us as people when the European war is over with millions of trained soldiers, veterans and bankrupt treasuries throughout Europe and defenseless America, the richest nation now on the globe with accumulated millions brought to our shores by this war, l tremble at the thought of what could happen. Armies are not created in day. It takes six months or a year to drill men and familiarize them with the use of arms so that they know how to fight and defend them selves. Otherwise they can be slaugh- tered like so many sheep"
 Between pork barrel appropriations and the national defense there can be no question where he stands. It is the attitude of a statesman and 2 patriot. It is the position that every member of congress ought to take ana it is not improbable that every sucl utterance will direct the proper at. ! tention to this weakness which hai 1 prevailed in the past and put a prope, check upon it.

FIRE DESTROYS
 AMERICAN SCHOOL French and Enslish Soldiers Help Fight the Flames at saleniki.

One of the most promising institu- tions of the American Boards work in the Near East is the Agricultural and Industrial Institute in Salonigi, the city which since the last Balkan wars Is iD Greece. With it's usual success in adopting it's work to new conditions the Board met the changed nationality of its site and Greek boys are enrolled among its students, while government officials have been very kind to its head, Dr. J. H. House.
 The board has just learned that on April 18th the main building of this schoc1 with most of it's contents. was destrosed by fire. Rev. w. c. Cooper. one ogs the school staff says:
 "A workman from the city went up on tee ro6 to mend the eavestrough, taking witk him charcoal burner to heat his irons. A high wind was blow ing and spark seems to have blown 1 undeC' or between the tiles. The roof | ldndled and the fire spread with light ming rapidity. One of the men saw 1t l and ran for Dr. House, who called the boys to carry water. Before they could get there it was impossible to reach ] the. head of the staircase even, so all | tried to carry out things"
 Soldiers from a nearby French av- 1 iation camp ran over and helped very much but it was impossible to save l half the equipment and furnishings to l gay AO1AAl5 OA pS1SOueA eIA1eCIS. 4Ae
 boys are now sleeping in the hay nov 1 and the others are camping in out l buildings.

NO ONE BUT HIMSELF TO BLAME


 After having penetrated into Mexi- co almost 200 miles the United States troops who were sent in pursuit of the bandits following the raid upon Glenn Springs have been recalled. There Is plenty for them to do along the bor- der, and it is probable that they were not equipped for extensive operations across the border, but it is neverthe- less an interesting statement which is made by General Obregon when he de- clares that no permission was given by the Carranza government for the crossing of the boundary by these troops.
 This Is a typical Mexican attitude and illustrates just how anxious the Carranza government is to put an end to the operations of such border out laws. Not only has Carranza failed to cooperate with this government ir l seeking out Villa, but it has actually put stumbling block in the way of the punitive expedition, and yet wher other Mexicans cross into this coun- try and murder citizens and soldiers without any effort on the part of the de facto government to prevent it, il boldly tells this country that it should not have sent troops in pursuit, that l 1t should have left the punishment tC Carranza and that there should have been no crossing of the Rio Grande until Carranza had given his consent From the experience this country has had with Carranza and his effort to suppress the raiders, which hal | amounted to nothing whatever. it i: plain that little or no attention should l be paid to any such statement Car. l laon border He has failed in this and 1T breaking up the enemies of his gov, ernment.

rEAcAINa pUPELs To swIM.

When the number of deaths which occur each year from drowning is realized, and 1t is understood how great a contribution is made to the list by the fact that people do not know how to swim, it can be appre- ciated that Supt. Beede Of the New Haven schools has taken most com mendable action by requiring the boys in the public school to take a course of instruction in the tank of the r. M. C. A.
 The proportion of schoolboys who cannot swim in the New Haven schools is large when it is shown up- on inquiry that three-ffths of them are unable to take care of themselves i'm the water should they happen to get out beyond their depth, while in bathing or be forced to rely upon their own resources as the result of amy one of the many accidents which are likely to occur on the water.
 Because as the result of the instruc- tionB which are being given they will at some future time know how to swim does not mean a guarantee that they win not be drowned. Such thing is impossible, but it does mean that they will be the better prepared ana that if they do happen to figure in an accident on the water, be throwr from a canoe or by accident fall over board they will be able to do some thing for themselves.
 It Is not too much for the protection 1f human life that every school. chile should know how to swim. It teache. self reliance and control and beside. lts other value 1t Is an excellent ex. ercise and there is nothing about i which any child ought not to be abl, t0 master if in good health. Severa colleges have made it necessary tha swimming must be mastered before ; diploma Is issued and the exampl, which the New Haven superintendent has set is bound to be watched b! other communities with much interest
