And Conditions There Are Not
Particularly Good for the
Fighting Of Battles.

KRIvOLAK, Serbia, Jan. s.
Kriyolak is the debarkation point OF
the French armies in the field in the
Balkan campaign-as village, 1t is
small and unclean with more the
character Of Turkish or Bulgar-
ian than Serbian town. There are
no accommodations for anyone. The
railway station with its chimney
knocked down by Bulgarian shell.
is the most imposing building. To
the east is the Vardar, still swollen
with rains, shifting, uncertain, mar
row, deep. To the north, where the
vardar bends in a westerly direction,
is what the French call "The English
bridge''-a pontoon structure for the
building of which the British army
lent the men and the materials. To
the southeast is hill, commanding
as an artillery position every nook
and corner Of the curve of the river
To the north beyond the Vtrdar is
the key of the whole French position
the mountain of Kara Hodzali.
Strong as the point is naturally
and the French Balkan campaign sc
far has almost confined itself to the
tactics of occupying and holding II
possible, the maximum number Of
strong natural positions-it Is open
to hostile bombardment from the hills
on the opposite shore of the river. A
few moments ago half dozen large
calibre shells fell in the river neal
the English bridge. Just now one has
fallen on the hillside to the southeast
of the station. Constantly the bridge
the station and the railroad are the
mark Of Bulgarian long range artll'
lery. But the mark is too distant
The Bulgarian artillery fire generally
is excellent, but 1t lacks the scientific
accuracy of the French, and as vel
the Bulgarians have no aeroplane!
to verify their fire, as the French
have. So Krivolak remains un'
harmed. Shortly the hills to the cas-
are to be cleaned Of their batteries
Then Krivolak will be tranquil.
Journey from Salonill.
The journey from Salonih tc
Krivolak, by the single track rail
road seems interminable. Fifteen
hours to do seventy-fve miles. The
French complain bitterly that the de-
lay is in the Greek end Of the line
Already French engineers are dou'
ble-tracking the railroad from the

evidently Is richly endowed. 1t is
magniacently organized. 1t Is splend-
idly equipped! This is also apparent
evidence Of guilt, for the lobby has
money and to have money, for some
people, Is In itself q crime. Then the
Commoner proceeds to give some adj
vice to President Wilson, the editor
thereof now being in a position to give
advice to Mr.. Wilson: 1.-THE president
might well turn his attention to this
lobby. The one driven by him from
Washington two years ago was praise
worthy by comparison"
1t is a very disingcnuous argument
to attribute improper notice to the
advocates Of armament because they
happen to DO supplied with funds, II
such is the case. The so-called peace
propaganda, Of which Mr.. Bryan is at
least a shining exponent, has behind
some OF the largest fortunes in the
United tSates. Mr.. Carnegie has con-
tributed a by no means inconsnlerable
sum to the cause Of international
peace, and his propaganda, whetner
so intended or not, has subtly tainted
American thought. Thus also with he
efforts of Mr.. Ford, a prominent auto
mobile manufacturer OF Detroit, who
1t was rumored contributed the enor-
nous sum of one million dollars to The
causeof disarmament The Commoner
makes no remarks about this lobby,
because forsooth, It agrees with the
opinions OF Mr.. Bryan.
There Is much cant in current talk
about the evils of Hobbies. This Is sup
posed to be representative govern
ment, and the people or organized
units OF the people certainly have a
right TO present their views to men,
beers Of Congress provided no improper
influence Is brought to bear on mem
bers to make them change their opin-
ions. Labor unions have been doing
this for years, manufacturers attempt
ed 1t and were impugned with improp-
err motives, and now the patriotic adj
vocates Of national military prepared

SERBIAN TOPOGRAPHY
is NOT VERY INVITING

Greek Serbian frontier, north.
There are no fixed train lines. Ey-
erything is subserviated to the trans
port of troops, munitions, supplies.
On the return journey, 1t is the trans
port of the wounded-of armies
needing repair, of empty rolling stock
of which officers charged with the
communications fthe various arm
les engaged-for the telegraph wires
are also uncertain-with the sanitary
officers, medical officers, commissary
staff and a few civilians, bound for
Greek villages between Saloniki and
the frontier. The station at Salon
Xxi is a military one, couple of
miles from the town, in the midst Of
fields Towering with the tents Of the
British, finally beginning to move to-
ward the front.
The train is long-all freight cars
save the one reserved for the more
distinguished. But almost all of the
freight cars have their human loads
as we'll. The men sleep on straw
on the floor throughout the weari-
some journey.
At Strumitsa station Serbian off,
Ger comes quietly down the corridor.
"All lights out" he ordered. From
here on the railway is within range
Of the enemy. They generally drop
few passing trains If they see
them" The order seems superf1uous
in view of the fact that the car is
improvided with any lighting system
or at least any that works. But a
few Of the men have provided them
selves with candles and 1t Is these
that must be extinguished.
Poor River Bridge.
Slowly the train approaches kilo-
meter Lightweight, where the rail-
way crosses the yardar to the side of
the Bulgarians. The bridge was de-
stroyed three years ago in the last
Balkan wars-and has not been prop
erly rebuilt since. The train creeps
across it. The swirling waters Of the
vardar are white in the moonlight.
Against sand bar the current has
washed three black objects. Logs?
AS the trains pass close to them,
those who have looked out Of the
train windows see that one OF the
black objects ends in white oval
face upturned to the moon. The
eyes are black-shadowed holes. The
mouth is wide open. A mat of hair
alternately covers and reveals the
wet glittering forehead in time with
the little backwaters Of the river

We Can Probably Improve Rivers.


There are many rivers in this coun-
try which can be probably improved
and they should not be neglected nor
prejudlced because Of the mistakes
which have been made in the past.
Many of these are what might be
termed tidal streams connecting large
cities with the ocean. They boast an
enormous traffic and their channels
can be widened or deeped at COM
paratively small expense. Money in
vested In them has paid excellent divi-
dends and has added to our national
wealth and our commercial prestige.
We can also profitably improve many
OF our rivers which flow through COM
paratively level country, where the
soil is not alluvial in character, and
where there exists a respectable
amount of commerce which is likely
to be maintained or increased. To
these rivers. may be added other rivers
where the main object is protection
from foods or from erosion and the
expenditures Of the government are
limited to the actual promotion Of
navigation.
The people OF the United States have
been so aroused to the extravagances
Of many of our river and harbor ex-
penditures that unless the present and
past mistakes are corrected 1t will be
impossible to secure popular consent
or approval for any kind Of appropria-
lions for these purposes. have no
sympathy with that sweeping denun-
citation which characterizes every r1v-
er and harbor bill as pork barrel.
Money judiciously expended is not
wasted. We should Immediately take
UP this whole question and introduce
into our river and harbor bills a bust
ness-like and orderly policy. The
whole country will endorse appropria-
tions for improving rivers and har-
bors which are national in their scope
and which benefit navigation when 1t
can be shown that the benefits con-
ferred upon the country are somewhat
commensurate with the cost. We must,
however, view tn ematter Of river and
harbor appropriations as business
proposition tested by the same econ
omic rules which any successful bust
ness house would apply to Its enter
prises and investments. For yield to
no man in my interest in the problem
Of waterway navigation and in my de-
sire to see the rivers Of our country the
avenues of a prosperous and profitable
commerce.

More "Insidiousness.'

,
T. The Commoner, Lincoln, Neb., OF
which William Jennings Bryan, erst-
while secretary of state, is editor and
proprietor, heralds to the world the
startling intelligence that another Elm
sidious lobby" is at work in Washing
ton. OF course there are Hobbies and
lobbies-those which are for us and
those which are against MS. These
Hobbies are good or bad as the case
may be; they are nefarious, "insid-
ious,' wicked, or they are benign, vir-
estuous, and patriotic, according as we
may favor or disagree with the pur-
rposes for which they exist.
h OF course the lobby whihc is con-
q demned In the Commoner, over the
name OF w. W. Baily, is not the lobby
maintained by the American Fedora
ation Of Labor for the purpose Of writ
ling on the statute books anti-injunc-
Elton laws, lacking exemption riders
I on appropriation bills, and increasing
y the wages Of unionized workers en-
I, ployed in government shops.
Nor is 1t the lobby which found
great favor with the administration
, when the ship purchase bill was being
considered in Congress. The lobby
1against which the Commoner urges
..citizens to protest is "a lobby which
is In deadly fear Of some imaginary
foe, lobby that thinks in terms OF
lair ships, submarines, dreadnaughts,
sfsixteen-inch guns, torpedoes, shells, a
