 OFF BULGAR'S LIST
Premier Says No Offensive Will Be Taken Against French

Berlin, via London, June 11.-Bul- saria has no intention of trying to carry the war into Greece, according p a statement made by the Bulgar- ian premier, M. Radsolavoff, in an in- terWew given to the Berlin newspa- pers on Saturday. The premier said the Bulgarians were in position to successfully assume the offensive against Gen. Sarrail's army but added :.
 It Is not in the diretion of our politics, however to carry the war into Greece. The violations of interria- tional law which the Entente has per- mitte9 itself in Greece arc no incen- tive for use to follow suit.
 Even without taking the offensive we are looking into the future on this nont with complete confidence. Things are going our way and the same holds good on the Russian front. We are fully informed of the state of affairs in Russia, where confusion is far. worse than admitted. No danger Is menacing us from this source"
 Asked regarding the Bulgarian at- titude toward Rumania, Premier Rad Oslavof answered:
 The Bulgarians are only claiming aterritory in which the Bulgarian lan- Sxuage is spoken. The Dobrudjas be- lungs to this area, as it was forcibly taken from us by the. treaty of Bu- scbarest. We are insisting that such Territories as are populated by Bull zEarian speaking people become again part of our country. If the principle pf the right of nationalities to deter mine their allegiance is recognized ythe Bulgarian speaking sections of Mecedonia and Dobrudja will be all latted to Bulgaria"
 The minister declared that the po- lttcal and economic situation in Bull GRria was wholly satisfactory.

and in whose behalf the industry to be
affected was created at all.
The only ethical doubt is rs TO how far
The public can go in this direction without
substantially emasculating the Legitimate
use of strikes. Just where TO draw the
line is a delicate question of civic moral
ity. Were the consumers of products and
the users OF public utilities industrally
organized, like labor and capital, it is con-
ceivable that that line would draw itself
Under such conditions the interplay of in
dustrial forces might automatically de-
termine the balance Of the scales of re-
spective moral rights in this great matter
But as things are to-day the moral re-
sponsibility is divided between the indus
trial combinations actually in evidence and
the conscience Of the public as expressed
i'm the acts Of its political representatives
The main thing is for both and all parties
to recognize the truth and justice OF the
.public's right to limit strikes, existent
to some, though not TO determined extent
as a basis for action and experiment

handsome tribute TO the memory Of a
great lover OF freedom and a gracious ac-
knowlcdgmcnt Of our debt 10 France is the
purchase b. prominent Americans of the
chateau in France where Lafayette was
born and its perpetuation as museum.
What was done TO the Washington home az
Mount Vernon will be done TO the Lafayette
chateau in France. The one will be the com
plement of the other.
There is one difference, however The emf
nent and publc-spirited Americans associ-
ated in the purchase Of the Lafayette chateau
rightly deem it fitting that their efforts 70
acknowledge this nations gratitude and re-
spect for the noble Frenchman should take
some form of active assistance to his sorely
pressed countrymen Of the present genera
ton. Hence the chateau is to be made a
home for orphans and disabled soldiers as
well as a memorial TO Lafayette. IL will be
restored 10 its oldtime splendor, and In II
will be preserved records of the present war
as well as those of Lsfsyettc's own time. A
fund for its perpetual maintenance has been
provided
One deed OF this sor. is worth thousand
protcstations of sympathy and esteem.

GRANDMOTHER

Those to whom the sporting grand.
mother Of the present generation has beer
the cause Of much anguish will doubtless
believe it was the hand of Providence
which threw the Bersinger wrench into
the happy whirl of elderly gayeties. Toe
much, they groan, has been seen of our
grandmothers at skating Kinks and SUI
frage parades. Eternal justice has swung
the balance the other way and is teach
ing grandmother what she ought to have
learned long ago, that life Of pleasure
is abhorreRt to the scheme of this sad
world; grandmothers must bear their bur
dens just like anybody else.
Mrs. Bersinger did not accept this rea-
soning, and neither do her contemporaries.
Because Jack has deserted his wife, why
does that make his mother responsible
for the children? She has worked hard
all her life. Must she at the end pay out
her savings on infant food and gingham
rompers? millions for teddy bears, but
not one cent for rompers," says grand
mother, and the rebellion is on.
This state of affairs will shock only
those who still cling TO the tradition Of
the freside grandmother. Doubtless there
are some Of them left-grandmothers to
whom the pressure of tiny, tousled head
is greater than any thrill Of the movies,
and who would rather hear Edward Oba-
diah (named for his grandfather in his
great scene from Jack and Jill than Ca
russo at his best. There are such grand
mothers. We have heard of one who
ducks about the house in secret, carrying
doughnuts and Vermont maple syrup to
the elevator boy, and another from whom
it has to be kept at any cost when Ethel
has been smoking cigarettes again, lest
the dear thing cry her poor old eyes out.
Sweet souls, these, but they sit apart,
not Of this world. 1t is the grandmother
whose habitat is the subway and the
Sunset Club on whom public attention is
focused, and it is to be hoped that the
powers Of government will yield grace
fully. Any attempt to teach grandmother
her place would be i'll advised and doomed
TO failure. After all these years Of knit
ting and mustard plastering, grand
mother is having her fling, and her mood
is inclined to combat, if crossed.
Her demand is simple. Enforce the
law against wife deserters. Let the state
support Jennie and the children if it isn't
smart enough to catch Jack
Wise men will see at once where this
argument leads, straight into the blind
alley of motherhood pensions and eco
nomic independence Of women. Better
were it for judge that he go and enlist
at once than that he stir up the grand
mothers on these subjects.

Henry James and the British Week End

Life in an English country house is one
OF the heavens to which all good Americans
know they will not 90 when they die. They
.will not deserve such delectable Nirvana
for the principal reason. Both their man
ners and their perceptions are hopelessly
inadequate. Also they do not love pea
cocks, have the greatest difficulty in re-
membering what q pleached walk is and
are actually more irritated than elevated
by swards and vistas.
1t was therefore one Of the distinctive
achievements Of Henry Jamcs's life that
from being little American boy, born in
Jur own noisy New York, he came ulti-
mately to thrive on English country house
life. While he yet stood poised upon the
Atlantic, writing as an American interna-
tionalist upon Europe and the Europeans,
he kept somewhat aloOf from the yaStness
and grandeur of English country life. In
The Awkward Age" he could even make
rather sharp comments upon the ease with
when 50 much vastness and grandeur,
specifically constituting ono of the great
estates, could be rented out for the "sea-
son'-lihe dress suit or a box at the
opera, We might put it. But later. when he
had become thoroughly accimated, and
/ knew the Atlantic 10 more, save as a
source Of British fog, he was quite won
over. He invited his soul to English coun-
try houses and let it loaf at will. The
change marked his final conversion to his
adopted land 1t was as If an Englshman,
after years Of alien habitation in New
York, should suddenly discover charm in
/ the subway.
Did this devotion TO Englsnd's yastest
pleasure cross the bounds Of devotion and
become idolatry? That is the question
which Miss Rebecca West has raised in her
thin. little, very red volume on Henry
James. Writing quite as a woman, and q
very young woman at that, Miss West
ans wers yes. In The Sacred Fount' she
finds "a respect for the mere gross large
ness and expensiveness Of the country
house which almost makes one write the
author Mr.. Jeames." This is momentary
jeer in the midst of the most stirring and
Illuminating account Of Henry James that
has yet been written, be il said II Miss
West had been man her mind would
have, Of course, refused to make this ex-
ception. She would have kept her eyes
fixed on the face Of the idol and would

Solitude

IRON The Westminster Gazette
When you have tidied all things FOR The
night,
And while your thoughts are fading 10 their
sleep,
You'll pause a moment in the late hrelight
Too sorrowful to weep.
The large and gentle furniture has stood
In sympathetic silence all the day
With that old kindness Of domestic wood;
Nevertheless the haunted room will say;
"Some one must be away
The little dog rolls over half-awake,
Stretches his paws, yawns, looking up at you
Ways his tail very slightly for your sake,
That you may feel he is unhappy, too.
A distant engine whistles, or the floor
Creaks, or the wandering night-wind bang
a door.
Silence is scattered like broken glass.
The minutes prick their ears and run about,
Then one by one subside sgain and pass
Sedatcly in, monotonously out
You bend your head and wipe away tear.
Solitude walks one heavy step more near.
