Atrocities 0f q Former Day
 Recalled by St0ry 0f Doiran

Washington, D. C., Sept. 1.--Doiran, the town at which the Franco-Brit- ish forces from Salonika began their ong-expected drive recently, is de- scribed in the following war geogra- phy bulletin issued by the National Geographic society from it's Washing ton headquarters:
 "Situated on the frontier between Serbia and Greece, and only about ten miles south of the Bulgarian boun- diary, DOiran, also known as Polianino, is 40 miles northwest of Salonika on the southern shores of the almost cir cular lake of the same name. Ii was doubtless chosen as the point of first attack by the allies because it is con- nected by rail with Salonika, the road from the Greek port to Constantinople here making a great loop to the northwest and then returning east town about 45 miles northeast of the Salonika base of operations
 Lake DOiran, nestling under the southern declivities of the BeIasitza mountain range, is probably the Lake Prasias mentioned by Herodotus whose description of the Paeonians, living In houses built over the edge of the water its in a measure the mod ern f1sherfolk living in huts in this vicinity. The women of present-day Doiran are not as famous for their industry, however, as were their noted forerunners of whom the Greek historian relates a typical story to the effect that Darius, seeing a beautiful Paeonian girl carrying a pitcher of water on her head leading a horse to drink, and at the same time spinning flax, immediately ordered his Thracian general to send two tribes of these Paeonians into Asia in order that they might instill a similar spirit of thrift among the Persians.
 Flight miles west of Doiran is the Vardar river, which rises in the Shar mountains, flows through the Usl1up plain and enters the Gulf of Salonika, thus constituting for hundreds of years the principal route from Central Flu rope to the Aegean sea. Between the Vardar and the Struma river (to the east) extend the Relasitza mountains, a range some 50 miles in length form ing part of the southern boundary of Bulgaria. always be associated with one of the most narrowing episodes of the Middle Ages, for it was at the battle of Bel asitza that Samuel, the Bulgarian czar who had conquered practically all of the Balkan peninsula and whose sway extended from the Danube to Morea, met defeat at the hands of the re- doubtable Byzantine emperor, Basil II, surnamed Bulgaroktonos (Slayer of Bulgarians) Basil had laid the foundation for his success a quarter of a century previously when he rode out in front of his troops at Abydos and challenged his rebel general, Bar

He had not touched once on the so-
 called hyphen issue. What the candi-
 date left unsaid was to be told last
 night by the Colonel. '"r. R. will take
 care of that end of it, said one uaen-
 Der of the committee to the reporters.
 T. R. did attempt to say some of
 the things which MT. Hughes left un-
 said He got after the hyphenates right
 and left. But the people of the nation
 will not count that a. stroke in favor
 of MT. Hughes. They know already
 what the Colonel thinks about the hy-
 phenates. They also know wherever
 disloyalty is operating in this country 1t has fastened itself to the Hughes
 campaign wagon. But MT. Hughes
 has manifested a supreme silence on that score. He has said nothing yet
 to show where he stands on the issue, to let the people know if he Is against the proposition that President of the United States can be punished because of his dealings with a foreign nation. No, the 100. per cent candidate" has ducked and lodged that issue. Colonel Roosevelt cannot answer 1t for Hughes because the people before they cast their votes for a candidate for the presidency want to know just where that candidate stands. No one knows yet what MT. Hughes would have done in the diplomatic contro- versy with Germany. We all know that Theodore Roosevelt would have plunged the country into war He practically admitted this last night when he deplored the action of this country in the case of Belgium.
 If there Is any life to be injected Into the Hughes campaign undoubted- |y 1t must come from the Colonel. He Is the possessor of all the action there s on that side. MT. Hughes has proven himself a veritabIe failure. He has lone nothing since his speech of ac- ,eptanee that warrants the thinking people of the nation following his eadersfdp. He has not pointed the way out. He has remained stationary. Every speech he delivered In the past 1 our weeks was patterned after his | initial offering in Carnegie Hall on the light of July 31 last. And, for that natter, with the exception of that por- lon which attacks the hyphens the beech of Roosevelt last night was lothing more or less than a re-write f the Hughes speech of acceptance t Is time to call a doctor.

A Modern Hannibal.
(PhiladeIphia Public Ledger

(Fh1I6O@lpn1h ISdBST.D
 Gen. Carlo Giordana, the brave Italian mountain leader recently killed near the Austrian lines. was the man chiefly responsible for the extraordin- ary success of the soldiers in man. euvering at prodigious heights. His men were young, athletic, willing; but he knew that 8 prudent adaptation to wind and weather was the better part of valor In Alpine battle and he saw to it that his troops had warm soup and thick clothes and well-greased shoes. He followed the example of the Arctic hares defensive coloring and clad his men in white apparel. He was a philosopher. The mountains are like the sea-" he declared Be fore you can win a battle upon them you must first have conquered them" Too often the impetuous, intrepid off, ficer impatient of the obstacles that beset his path, relies on human en- durance and zeal to meet the foe, in stead of preparing in cool blood the things a soldier must have to do his work well. Thus we sent our troops to the Mexican border, even as we sent them to the Spanish war, trusting to their own patriotism to feed them and teach them how to handle a rifle . Kitchener's way was different, and so was that of Giordana. In modern warfare victory generally goes to those who see to it that straps and buckles are right, that boxes do not split open, that horses are properly broken, that machine guns do nots jam, that shoe leather is durable.

das Phocas, to single combat. Phocas, wheeling his horse preparatory to accepting the challenge, fell from his charger and when picked up by his soldiers was found to be dead.
 During the battle of Belasitza in 1O14 Basil captured 1000 Bulgarians. He blinded the whole number, leaving but one eye to every hundredth man, spared to this extent in order that he might act as a guide for the pitiable host of warriors thus returned to their czar When Samuel beheld this helpless army of his mutilated subjects march ing toward him he tainted and two days later died of grief. With him died the Slavonic empire of the Balkans and for a century and a half there after the Bulgarians were subject to the Byzantine rulers.'

TIME TO CALL DOCTOR.

Colonel Roosevelt. had a great time a St night in Lewiston, Maine. He was z9 to his old tricks again, haying res:dent Wilson. Just how far his beech will reverberate remains to be en. It is feared, however, that the |oloneI cannot do very much for EnarIes Evans Hughes inasmuch as be t100 per cent candidate" has about
 ooked his own goose. Just before the .oloneI arrived in Lewiston the advis-
 1y committee of the Republican na- ional campaign committee had met n New York and discussed plans for injecting new life in the Hughes camp. The candidates swing around the

TaCher generous to the men. Even to the point of issuing passes on the railroads the man receive big con- slderations. In the o1den days a con- ouotor got a pass to ride on the road. The pass was issued in his name and he only could use it. Now he is given a pass for his entire family. If he has @ wife and eleven children they can travel on any part of the road and it does not cost him a cent for transportation. By the courtesy existing between railroads certain passes are easily secured 50 that a railroad man can travel from one end Of the country to the other without paying a cent for travelling expenses. Tn addition all Pullman rates are materially lessened for the railroad mans benefit These arc the good things that are little known. The old time conductors who work on passen- ger trains seldom have much comR plaint to offer on their lot in life The men who work in the freight end of the railroad business are not so we'll off as those in the passenger de-. partment: but it seems their condition;
 
 could be bettered without throwing the entire nation into panic. The big railroad men on both sides of the fence should consider this phase of the question,

THIE BRIGHTER SIDE.

When a man has been in the em- ploy of a concern for any length of time he should know something about the existing conditions in his sphere of activity. He should know, first of all, if he Is being treated properly He may not believe he Is getting from his employers all in the way of monetary issue he thinks he Is en- titled to, for few believe they are properly recompensed no matter what their work. There are some who would willingly take the entire pay roll of any corporation each and every week; but they are forced to accept tho idea that someone else must be raid. Either that, or no one will work So, happily, the pay roll Is made go around, and every man who contributes his share in the produc- ton gets part of the earnings It may not be, and probably is not, the largest part; but it is somewhere near a just part.
 The oldest conductor on the New Haven railroad has spoken. He brands the railroad strike that may go into effect on Monday morning as a foolish piece of bus1- ness when considered from the stand point of the passenger conductors. working more than eight hours @ day. Some of the runs do not require more than three and half hours work Others are completed in five, men who make these runs get paid the same wage as If they had worked eight hours a day. This man him. self has the longest run on the His Is a twelve hour run of 125 miles and every day he makes this journey the company pays him the neat little sum of $540, which, as. wages go, is not bad at all. There is many a man doing more difficult and dangerous work than collecting fares on rail- road train and who gets less than five
 
 dollars a day.
 No one will blame the brotherhoods of railroad engineers, or firemen, or freight conductors for trying to get all the money they can reasonably l expect from their employers Nor will they be blamed for seeking 1 shorter hours. But if in doing SO | they are the least bit unjust in their | demands their action will rebound to the harm of all other laboring men | in the country. This is the day of ] labor It's champions in the land are l many. Men outside the ranks have l come to the help of those who 1 struggle in the harness of york;, Pro- 1 fessors and students in colleges are
 ever delving into the study of

superstitious" that every president for whom he has voted since 1888 has been elected.
 Professor Fisher sees in the stress put upon the Lusitania incident, and
 upon the Mexican situation by, Hughes merely "red herring across the trail" The real business of the
 republican leaders is to return to the
 days of the Payne-Aldrich tariff. Tho
 other talk is to distract attention
 from this purpose.
 The other reasons are that the re- election of MT. Wilson means tariffs by commission, and the tariff out or politics; that we have the duty to Mexico to see that Mexicans are not systematically robbed by American investors; that we should have stood firmly for American rights, but re- publicans were willing to keep Ameri- cans off the seas; that the demo- cratic platform is more progressive and effective than the republican; that the Wilson administration has passed more progressive legislation than any recent administration, including the federal reserve act, the Underwood act and the child labor act; that it is more in the interest of efficiency to have an administration Of eight years. than a change with a renewal of the ' policy of turn the rascals out"
 These in the main are reasons which represent the views of ordinary who are not professors of political economy, nor much versed in the art of government.
 It looks as if Professor Fisher is going to keep unbroken his record of voting for winning presidents.
