THE BALKAN EXPRESS
Noted Train Operating Between Ber-
lin and COnstantinople-Sce In
Serbia and Other Countries.

London, Aug. 21-(C Correspondence
TO The Associated Press AN Ameri-
can who recently made the journey
from Berlin to Constantinople on the
celebrated Balkans express writes the
following letter OF the trip 70 the Lon
don Times:
Twice a week a train Of seven cars
pulls into Berlin. 1t is labeled in
foot-high letters throughout all its
length 'Balkanzug.' This is the much
lauded Berlin Constantinople express,
which conveys military officers and
officials TO and from the Turkish cap
ital
The obtaining Of a permit to travel
on the Balkan express is a matter of
extreme difficulty. Every passenger,
after a thorough examination, is pro-
vided with a train ticket like a pass
port, which in fact it really is. 1t
bears the portrait of the traveller and
all particulars of use to the police and
the military. These particulars are
written in German and Turkish. The
train is a Turkish train when it is in
Ottoman territory, but Immediately 1T
leaves il becomes a German train. All
the train attendants are German.
with characteristic thoroughness
the Teuton has effaced all the notices
that were printed in English. or
French. For instance, the notices as
to hot air for the heaters which hith-
erto were printed in English, French
and German, have been altered, the
English and French being BACKED out
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1916-09-06

and a Turkish translation added. All
through the train there are notices
warning the travellers as to talking of
military matters and suggesting that
spies are everywhere.
las the train passes through the
various countries along the route the
populace is immensely interested.
The stops are short, none longer than
20 minutes. at Dresden only seven
minutes are allowed. Passengers may
not leave the station, but are expected
TO keep to the platform. For the most
part the travellers are German and
Austrian officers and officials, but
few Turks use the train for Journeys
as far even as Berlin, where now the
tarbush may be seen in the streets.
Running through Serbia the most
impressive signs of the German oc-
cupation were the encampments of
the troops alongside the permanent
way. There are huge notices up at
all stations warning the inhabitants to
keep away from the railway. No one
is allowed on the platforms because
the whole country is still infected
with typhus, and there has to be the
most rigorous supervision for this rea-
son. All along the line may be seen
the trenches and the rusty barbed
wire entanglements that tell of the
fighting months ago. At each little
fortified encampment German soldiers
have planted vegetable gardens over
which may be read the legend, 'Krieg-
sacker' (War Garden). There were
no signs of their having planted any
wheat or grain.
Through Serbia nearly all the
bridges of any size had been destroy
ed, at least partially. Aften whole
spans had been blown out. In many
cases the Germans had replaced these,
moving them bodily to their old posi-
tons. In some of the other bridges,
where the girders and way were so
badly damaged as to defy repair tenn
porary bridges on wooden trestles had
been built. These structures may
serve during the summer season, but
they could not stand ever a moderate
flood. The work, therefore. still goes
on, and in time the old bridges will
be reconstructed.
"A whole day is spent in the jour
ney through Bulgaria.
along the whole line from Berlin
to Constantinople and even down into
Syria there are thousands of Belgian
railway cars These are easily recog-
nizable, for they still have the Bel
gian marks on them. To these the
Imperial cipher and the eagle have
been added. Troops are on the move
in Bulgaria, as elsewhere, but they
seem to be mostly away from the line
of the Balkanzug. There is not the
briskness that is evident Immediately
one enters Turkish territory. AT Ad-
rianople there are signs of great ac-
tivity."

FOREIGN FOOT WEAR.
An Exhibit From Many Countries
Mt tho Nuca1rr11

Shown at the Museum.
One of the very important consid-
erations of those who are trying to
develop the greatest efficiency of
workers is the comfort of the feet.
robably no organ of the body has
been so much abused by the fashion
of its dress as has the foot. All
through history of civilization, almost
the entire human race have squeezed
their feet into an unyielding case of
hard leather never as large as the
foot itself when resting on the
ground, and with a high appendage
called the heel. from which have
come corns and bunions and all sorts
of discomforts. Happily orthopedic
shoes and other makes with broad
toes and low, common sense heels are
finding favor with our educated
classes and those who desire to do
good work.
An interesting exhibit is now open
at the Fairbanks Museum of the foot
wear of foreign nations, collected
from the various cases. In the
warmer countries, sandals and slip
pers are very commonly used. These
are made of a variety of materials, as
wood, leather, felt, cloth and straw.
Chinese shoes are made of cloth and
are always very porous, absorbing
water readily. When the weather is
cold these are not comfortable as
they keep the feet chilled all the time.
A kind of oiled boots are designed to
keep out the dampness, but on ac-
count of the expense, their use is re-
stricted to a very few. The heavy
sole and broad, blunt toe are charac-
teristic of the Chinese shoes.
The Japanese and Chinese are fast
giving up the custom of binding the
feet with cruel torture when young, to
enable the high-class women to wear
the tiny shoes, formerly a mark of
aristocracy. The working classes of
Japanese wear a straw sandal, or
'Uwa zari," with a short cloth sock,
the "tabi," having a divided toe tc
allow the more secure fastening of
the sandal.
Most dainty are the red kid slip
pers worn by Brazilian woman, and
the exquisitely embroidered slippers
of the high class Turkish and Egyp-
tan women.
One of the most striking types in
the collection is the high boots of the
sheik's or chiefs. They are of bright
red leather and have a much-curved
sole and very tapering, pointed tone.
Among the unique kinds of sandals
are the curious "guaraches'' of the
people of Cuadalajaha, Mexico. They
have broad, fiat soles and are laced
across the body of the foot with
white leather thong.
The wooden "sabots'' of the Dutch
and French peasants always attract
attention and arouse interest in the
wearers. Both sexes and even thu
little children wear these heavy clogs
Their one recommendation is they are
durable. They are often made by
their wearers.
Every traveller knows how the diff
ferences in footwear tells of the in
dividuality Of the foreign peoples who
wear them.

ment Of stations IL The heart of the
affected region and with the spirit
that the Sulu Constabulary has inva-
riably displayed, every officer and
man regardless of hardship and priv
alton, regardless of danger and
death, did his full duty toward the
government, without malice toward
the misguided creatures who with
their progenitors had made the name
of Sulu a by-word in the annals Of
these islands.
I'm the short space of 21 months
Alb outlaws were killed, captured or
forced to surrender, 1877 firearms
were captured or surrendered and
500 blade weapons were captured or
surrendered. This was not accom-
plished without loss to our brave
men, of whom 10 were killed or died
Of wounds and II were wounded and
recovered. The greatest accomplish
ment of ALL however, is that these
things were done with a minimum Of
hatred and heart burn on the part of
the population, which in gradually
increasing numbers came to help us
in our work of roofing out the law
less who were preying on the law
abiding, until now all the people. re-
alizing the motives that actuate us in
our work, are heart and soul with us.
1t remains for the Sulu Constabulary
so to conduct themselves that conf
dence in their motives will keep on
increasing and so that the various
departments of government-health,
education, public works and other ac-
tivities-will find the preparation Of
the soil by the Constabulary fruitful
in their future endeavors for the
benefit of the people,"
