Sofia seems to be alarmed lest the
Rumanians or the Russians come in
and do to it what the Bulgarians did
to the Serbs. 1t is quite a natural
fear under the circumstances. But
it is a possibility which they ought to
have thought of before they east in
their lot with the Germans. If they
had thought very far into the future
they might have foreseen that they
would be in very exposed position if
the Russian bear ever came back. or
if Greece should ever enter into the
war, or if Rumania should pour down
from the north while the entente allies
held the south. Bulgaria, the hoggish
nation of the Balkans, is just getting
what it deserves for its ruthless and
needless spoliatiOn of Serbia. 1t was
not patriotism that brought Bulgaria
into the war. She threw her fortunes
with the central powers from mercenary
motives.

OF the buyer, his temperature will drop
twenty degrees at once and the sale

There are something like 7S4 distinct
varieties of sundaes, ana new ones are

changes of administration in Mexico.
Some people prefer to make their
own ice-cream at home, 50 they can
see what goes into it. A sprv wife
can do this easily in half day, if the
baby does not fall down the cellar
stairs. After a healthy housewife has
turned the hide-bound crank of an lee
cream freezer for couple of hours and
then discovers that she left out the
vanilla extract, she will not want to
drag her husband out to some social
event until she has had time to recuper-
ate. This teaches US that there
should be an icecream freezer in every
home.
The ice-cream cone is an ingenious
device which consists of one part ice
cream and nine parts vacuum. Men
who could not be induced under any
circumstances to eat the crust of the
bread will devour five or six ice-cream
cones on circus day without a murnur,
although the cone by itself is about
rs appetizing as a red cedar shingle.
This shows rs how high man stands in
the scale of intelligence.

Recent press dispatches from Bangor
show how the prohibition law is en-
forced in one Maine city. Several liquor
dealers were prosecuted because "they
did not obey the police order to close
their bars when the electric ear strike
was on. - This sort of law enforcement
may suit the Snug complacency of
Maine, where the people are for the
law but "agin' its enforcement, but
said that there are few states in which
such a glaring farce would be tolerated.

The passage of the eight-hour legis-

issue between the railway brother
hoods and the railroads, but the presi-
dents of the roads claim that it will
not result in permanent settlement. of

court on the ground that the eight

claim that the supreme court has held

this is what the Adamson bill aims to
accomplish.

The United States navy is doing one
thing of which we may all be proud.
1t is building a chain of wireless sta
tions that will enable fleets and indi-
vidual warships in any part of the seven
seas to keep in touch with Washington
at all times. There are five links in the
chain, and the third of the five was
completed this week at San Diego. The
huge one at Arlington, Va, is number
one. Number two is situated in the
canal zone. The San Diego link has
three six hundred foot towers and cost
a quarter of a million. Plans are al
ready made for a big plant at Pearl
Harbor in the Hawaiian harbor. The
last link in the chain will be at Manila
in the Philippines.

Brattleboro is having Sunday base

Hinsdale, n. H., which removes it
from Vermont jurisdiction. Three
hundred people saw the first game.
and The Brattleboro Reformer states
the narrowing fact that many of them
were wOrkingmen who had had no 9th

witness a game of ball. How they have
been able to survive such a deprivation
is the wonder. 1t is real hardship 70

The author calls this an introducto-

European diplomacy, written from an
impartial standpoint, although he tells
us that he has a very definite fondness
for France, that his motherto tongue is
English, and that he has lived much
in Russia and in France; but if the
book helps the American reader to I'M
derstand the moves on the diplomatic
checker board after the war is over,
it will have served its purpose. The
book is divided into four sections; the
first gives a straightforward review of
European diplomacy since the Con
greSs of Berlin in 1873. The second
considers the new ideas which have
grown up about the functions of
diplomacy in the last generation. The
third suggests a solution which may
