Washington, D. G., Jan. 12-"Se- n,andria. where the shells from Aus tro-German batteries fell in prepara- +ion for the Teutonic drive toward inc Golden Horn, is one of the first commercial towns of Serbia,' says a war primer issued by the National Caooranhic society. Serbia is an agricultural 2 country. Pigs and grains are it's ranking exports, and the great CT part of the Serbian export in pigs, and almost all of it's export in cer- calls, passed through Semendria in neace times. It's trade has ben. done chiefly with Vienna and Budapest. Among it's exports are superior white grape and a delicious wine.
 ."There is an interesting tradition connected with the grapes of Semen dria. It is told that the Serbian Prince George Brankovich brought cuttings of the grape vines of Semen dria and planted them upon his sum- nv estates in Hungary, when he be- came the lord of Tokay there. This transplanting of the Serbian grapes took place in the fifteenth century, and it is from these imported vines that Hungary's famous. spicy white wine Tokey, came. Thus, the Httla Serbian city is the great ancestor Of the Magyars' best known product, the fiery aromatic glass from Hun gary which is Drized by connoisseul's the world over.
 "Semendria lies upon the Danube. between Belgrade and the Iron Gates. II is distant about 30 miles southeast from the Serbian capital. It is said to stand upon the site of the Roman town Mons Aureus. and legend has it that it's famous grape vines were planted by the Roman emperor Pro- bus Therefrom it may be seen that the royal wine had an imperial be- ginning, and the perfect product of today can boast a long and glorious past.
 At one time, q powerful fortress guarded the approach to the city. It was a thick-walled, triangular structure, said to have been built iii 143O, and for long time it was the distinguishing feature of the small place and the river crossing which it guarded. Semendria has

SOPHISTICATED POLITICS.

t begins to look. now as if the real only fight on the administrations S 1paredness plan will be centered in present Congress around the &nocrats. the men of President &son's own party, and not, as was Iic1pated, by the hostile political bonents of the President. Some hundred men of the democracy 'Fe banded themselves together with avowed intention of defeating 5thing that looks like the carrying of the Army and Navy programs, 1ns that are considered by experts being not over militaristic if in Ed they might be called that. For most part these men who oppose ything like the country being pre- red hail from the inland states, the .ces that are least susceptible to at
 k from outside forces.
 There must be a peculiar brand of Eriotism wrapped in a Representa- e or a Senator who will let sec halism run away with him, who II place any one state over and pve the other forty-seven. Tn truth ph a man is not a patriot, he is a ltry politician. And yet, in the hl outcome, if the Democrats are Ing to defeat any manner or means
 strengthening our Army and our
 Ivy, they are playing the poorest litics ever. For the Republicans } just waiting for a chance to take 3 advantages that now lie with the

Ambulance Volunteers Wanted.

To the Editor of the Herald,
 Dear Sir:-My brother, Richard Norton, the commander of the Amer ican Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps, has cabled me that the Corps is in need of 10 volunteers. This Corps began work at the start of the war and has been doing for the last months the regular ambulance service for one of the French Army Divisions. It is accordingly held i'll high esteem and both the methods of conducting it and the merits of it's volunteers have been highly con- mended by the French Army and Medical Authorities.
 The essential requirements for volunteers are that they should be good Americans, in sound health ca pablo of withstanding hardships and doing hard and trying work in con- nectlOn with wounded men with kind ness and without complaint Volun- teers should also be good tempered and capable of getting on well with other men of all kinds and conditions In addition they must be able to drive motor and talk some French The men attached to the Corps have been principally American College graduates from 25 to 50 years old and are a fine and agreeable set of men to be associated with in a very interesting and splendid work, ln- volved in the most stupendous event of the Worlds History.
 My brother has asked me to pass upon the qualifications of any men who want to volunteer and I shall accordingly be glad to hear from any who wish to do so
 I am, Sir,
 Very respectfully yours,

Ignorance and Bliss.
(NeW York Tribune.)

Mans primary impulse, of course, is to condole with the husband who has forgotten his Wife's maiden name, on the assumption that such a mis- fortune is due wholly to an alarming failure of his mental processes. But what if the explanation should lie with her side of the house? It would imply would it not, an unobtrusive- hess of relatives-in -law$swhich argued well for his comfort of soul and @ domestic harmony unbroken by re- minders that she stopped in conquer ing? Immediately, then, will come the inclination to congratulate MT ]. F.. McQuade, of Kansas City, who was permitted always to know his wife simply as Ruby
 And yet MT. McQuade finds himself in an excessively awkward position.

PASS TT ALONG.

There is much truth in the precept, DO unto others as you would have them do unto you. Treat a man squarcly and he a natural out come treats you the same. Speak evil of him and he does the same to you. Knock and you get knocked. Be peevish and everybody around you in cluding your own family, will be peev- ish toward you. Smile and watch the smiles grow on faces that peer into yours. FroWn and be drowned upon. Everything in life, is beautiful to the man who looks on things through eyes not muddied with ugliness. Generos- ity breeds generosity. Give Hberally and you get everything in the world worth having. Be a miser and every body Withholds things from you. Be others the same. Humanity is but a big mirror reflecting the things be- fore it. If the landscape is made up Of brushwood and weeds you see them there in the mirror. If there are roses and flowers you see those, too. Environment makes it all. Aim high, help others, smile often, and dispense cheer as you pass along the road of life. Remember you go this way once only. There is nc round trip. Have a good will toward everybody, and DaSS it along.

She Knew Her Job.

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.)
 Things were getting desperate with a certain servantless lady. She was, therefore, quite excited when the reg istry office people sent her a possible maid.
 Are you cook?" she asked the gaily dressed applicant No, I don't cook" was the reply. Are you accustomed to washing and ironing?"
 I'm afraid I couldn't do either; they're too bad for the hands,
 Can you sweep and turn out a room?"
 "Certainly not!' This was quite decided. "Pm not strong enough" Well, then,' asked the exasperat- ed lady of the house, what do you do,''

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

From current reports it would seem as if the United States has more trouble on it's hands with the killing of seventeen Americans in Mexico shot by the King of all Bandits. Gen. Francisco Villa The main purpose of this latest atrocity is ostensibly for the purpose of showing the incapacity of the recognized Carranza govern ment to restore peace and order in the war-ridden country to the south. If Villa is laboring under the belief that the best way he can embarrass the Carranzistas is to murder Ameri- can citizens it is time d good detaCh- ment of United States cavalry was sent over the line to get him: and get him in short order. We have recognized the .CarranZa government and we must stand back of it. + Villa is out to commit outrageS on our men and women this is no time to take ''siesta.'' The time has come for action. If Carranza cannot punish the murderers who held forth in Chihuahua Uncle sam can, and there should be no delay. We have had enough of Mexico.
