 Not far away towards the south is one of the most interesting of these ascetic communities the Russian con- vent of Panteleimon. It was found cd by St. Lazarus <nezes of Serbia, but rebuilt comparatively recently by the Empress Catherine I. of Rus Sia. For a long time it was kept only for Russians but many of those set up little individual hermitages for them selves or small colonies dedicated to special saints, and Russian convent now has two churches in one of which the service is celebrated in Greek instead of the ancient Slavonic which seems to be the common tongue among the Serbians the Bulgarians and the Russians on Mt Athos.

"BLUE BLOOD"

While we on this side of the At
1antic set no great store on birth or
breeding, and many of US get along
quite comfortably without and know1-
edge of the roots of our family tree,
we are forced to admit that the no
bility and gentry of Great Britain and
Ireland have not Jagged behind the
procession in the matter of sacrifices
on the altar of Mars. The recent edi-
ton of Debrett's Peerage contains
proof of this in the War Roll of
Honor which is a part of the volume.
AS direct result of the casualties of
in the normal descent have occurred
in more than a hundred cases One
tenth of the officers who have died in
the service of Great Britain since the
beginning of the war came of families
entitled to inclusion in the "Peerage.' -
The list is headed by Prince Maurice
of Battenberg, representing royalty S
sacrifice to Mars. Six peers, 16 baro-
nets, six knights, 1874 knights compan-
ion, So sons of peers, 81 sons of bar
onets, and "a sons of knights are on
the roll Of the dead. This list has been
increased by many names since the
publication of the peerage. The list of
peers, knights, and their sons, slain
on the field of battle or dead from
wounds or illness incurred in the ser
the 500 mark. No other class, proper
tionately to numbers, has suffered
anything approaching this total of
casualties. Hundreds of members of
noble and gentle families have been
more or less seriously wounded, and
every day of war adds to the grim list

CONCORD

The first inland settlement made in
the Massachusetts, colony was at Con-
cord, 10 miles from Boston, by the Rev.
Peter Buckley, who was born in Eng
land S31 years ago today. Jan. 81, 1885.
He founded Concord in 1885, on the
site of what the natives called Mus
ketaquid meaning "grassy-g .
This invasion of the western wilder
ness was considered quite daring
project by the Massachusetts, colonists.
The name of the town was given to it
because "of the Christian union and
concord among the first company.
Concord, although still a mere village,
has played a prominent part in Ameri-
can history It was one of the scenes
of the Iaibors of Eliot, the apostle of
the Indians, and in the wars with the
redskins the people of Concord played
/ a prominent role. To the English ex-
petition against Cuba. in 174O the vii
liage contributed Is men, of whom II
were slain. The townsmen also con-
tributed several soldiers to the con-
quest Of Canada AS early as 1867 the
Concord citizens were conspicuous as
rebels against English authority, and
the part the town and its people
played in the revolution is too well
known to need repetition. In later
years it has been the home of some
OF the foremost of American men of
letters Small as it is, Concord looms
larger in history than most of the
flar&e industrial cities which have
sprung up in eastern Massachusetts.

George w. Perkins,
Teddy's Aide de Camp,
Is 81 Years Old Today

George w. Perkins, multi million
aire financier and aide-de-camp of
Col Roosevelt in the Progressive
army, will be fifty-four years old to-
day. He received common school
education and started his business
agency of the New ork Life Insur-
ance Company. He became success
sively bookkeeper, cashier, inspector
of agencies, superintendent of the
western department., and third, sec
ond and first vice president. 1T was
in 1901 that he started on his real
career of high finance as a partner
in the firm of J. p. Morgan & Co. He
was a member of the original '"votin g
trust of the Bankers Trust Company
of New York. Later he retired from
the Morgan firm but became promi-
nent in the International Harvester
Company and other great Industrial
and railway corporations. AS chair
man of the Progressive or Bull
Moose party's executive committee
he has for several years taken prom
inent part in politics, and has been
the close associate of Col. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Perkins has been a staunch
advocate of preparedness for war on
the part of the United States, but
he also insists that it is equally nee
essary to prepare for peace. The
conclusion Of the European conflict,
he believes, will have a profound eff
feet on American commerce and in
dustry, and, if the end came suddenly,
it might result in disaster to Amer
lean interests. He advocated the Gre
alton of a non-partisan tariff com
mission as a means to combat the in
dustria1 invasin which he thinks will
follow the end of the war.
while Europe's war orders have
set the idle factories of America at
work. he said recently, this, of
course, must be temporary condi-
ton Some day the war must cease,
and our workers will no longer have
these jobs. Identically the same con-
dition will prevail that existed when
the war broke out, except that we
will have a very large amount OF Eu-
ropes gold. Europe, to get back the
gold, will find it easiest to sell us
manufactured goods at prices low
enough to win back what she has lost.
A non-partisan, scientific, permanent
tariff commission seems to me the
one way to stop Europe's industrial
invasion"

less for food, on account of some local
tradition against them. One genera
ton after another of boys will throw
these fish away, in accordance with
custom. The trouble may simply be
that the flesh is not quite as well
favored as other kinds. But as the
years go by and fish become scarce,
even the less savory varieties may be
seen to have good value.
The feeling against horseflesh can
hardly be based on any sanitary
grounds. A horse seems just as clean

Popular Prejudices
About Food,

A great deal of comment was caus-
ed by a recent order permitting the
sale of flesh of horses for meat in
New York city, which apparently will
also be allowed in many other places.
Horse meat is used as food all over
Europe. In time it will probably be
so used in this country.
This use of equine flesh runs up
against a certain popular repugnance
that is not quite easy to account for
There always are many prejudices in
