UPRISING AGAINST GERMANY
IMMINENT IN RUMANIA

Paris, Oct. 2.--There is a steadily
growing belief in Rumania that If the
German domination and oppression
continue, there may be an uprising
among the people, particularly IL the
food and clothing famine is not re-
lieved, There are many who feel.
says a prominent Rumanian who has
just returned here from Jassy, that
1t may not be impossible that the Ru-
manian army will again take up arms
against the Central Powers. This con-
viction, said he, is the stronger since
the recent decisive victories Of the
Allies on the western front.
Already there is gravest unrest
among the peasants, who are forced
by the German agents to work long
and laboriously on farm and in fac.
tory, with scarcely sufficient wages to
buy their daily bread. The GeAmans

YOUTH AND OLD AGE
MERELY A STATE OF MIND

The Evening Telegram.
Dear Editor:-How often we near
the old saying that We are as young
as we feel, and l know the truth OF It
in my own personal case and al
though | am now living on borrowed
time, I still try to feel young as pos
sible under my circumstances and
environment and If I am still on deck
until the 14th of January next I'll
have to pass one more old moss
covered mile stone, marked plainly
| 70 years, and while my former years
at sea spending seasons on the
great fishing banks among the fogs
and ice bergs and most of that time
right where the Titanic lies resting.
Qt's no mystery to me why that great
steam ship went to her grave so sud
denly. Afterwards my Al years on
the coal docks at New Haven, Conn,
IS years of that time in charge of all
the docks and having not very much
to look after and show results every
day. was for % years of that idle
time the harbor master of the port
carrying always my commission, ap-
pointed and signed by the Governor
of the State of Connecticut and so
while | did not have always bed Of
roses to lay on, | did try to have a
good time of the life and to keep
young noticed that here in Lake
land like | am glad to see the young
folks are having a good and the aged
ones as well resting in your beautiful
park and now as | bark back to those
hard days of toll and strife can still
see that | really did have much of
the job of living and now having
seen about everything north while
in 81 States and the eastern pro-
vinces and Lakeland, think perhaps
my wanderlusting is we'll over.
Yes, indeed, | really believe that l
myself have had a pretty good time
and looking back see wherein have
much to be thankful for and hope
am grateful one. Yes, I've had q
good time, for life came to me with
rosy cheek and ardent song across
the morning fields to play with me
and oh how happy we were as we
romped along and laughed and kissed
each other by the SEQ. Then Love
came and met me half way down the
road-then Love went away, but left
me little dream to help me bear
my load-a something more to wait
and watch for by the sea. Yes, I've
have had good time. Nobody knows
now good a time but me. With days
and night of rythm and of rhyme,
and live and linving by the sea.
Sincerely yours,
w. s. B.

THE BuLGARIANs: WHO
THEY ARE AND SOMETHING
OF THEIR HISTORY

Who are the Bulgarians and what
is their history?
The Balkans peninsula is divided
racially into five groups: Slavs, Al
banians, Greeks, Turks and Ruma'
mans.
The Slavs in the Balkans consti,
tute the southern branch of the Slav-
onic race, and are themselves divid.
ed into Jugo-Slavs (Serb-Croats and
Slovenes) and Bulgarians, who are
not pure Slav.
The Bulgars are first mentioned in
the history as having lived in the
steppes to the north Of the Black
sea in 4S2 A. D.
In the sixth and seventh centuries
they expanded from eastern Russia
and settled along the Danube.
Gradually the Bulgars became
fused with the Slavs, and so com
pletely were they submerged that
beyond a few personal names nc
traces of the language of the Bulgars
have survived.
From the ninth century to the four
teenth, except for periods when il
was under Greek rule, Bulgaria
maintained its independence as an
empire. In 1893 the Turks con
quered the country, and Bulgaria
was the last of the Balkan states to
emancipate itself from the power Of
Constantinople.
In 1870 began the series of insur
rections, some of them having a re
iigous basis, which finally led to the
independence of Bulgaria. In 1878 Z
principality of Bulgaria was created
comprising the northern portion OIL
the present nation, with Prince Alex
ander of Battenberg as ruler. II
1885 the inhabitants of Rumelia, OIL
southern Bulgaria, proclaimed theil
union with Bulgaria.
The present ruler, who was Prince
Ferdinand of Saxe-C oburg, was elect
ed in 1886, He is largely responsible
for the economic and material devel
opment of the country in recent
years. Taking advantage of the
Young Turks revolution in 1908,
Ferdinand proclaimed the complete
independence of Bulgaria and easter
Rumelia under him as king or car
Immediately Ferdinand cast about
him for other worlds to conquer, anC
found Greece and Serbia sympathetic
toward the organization of a Balkan
league for joint campaign to wres
Macedonia and Albania from the
Turks. This league was organized
III 1911 by Bulgaria, Greece, Serbi;
and Montenegro, and it wasn't Ions
before their armies were at thu
doors of Constantinople and the sui
tan was crying for peace, which was
signed at London, May 30, 1918.
Serbia and Bulgaria had agreed tt
divide Macedonia between them, bu
the peace conference created an in
dependent Albania, which altered
matters and shut out Serbia from thu
sea, The division of the spoils wa!
left to the car of Russian for arbi
tration, but while he was consider
ing 1t Bulgaria, without warning, at

kan war of 1918 was on. Greece ant

First Fiction Known

The Oldest work of fiction eXtant
IS thought to be the "Tale of Two Broth
ers," written 5000 years ago by the
Thehan scribe Ennana, librarian of the
palace Of King Menepthah. the sup
posed Pharaoh of the Exodus. The
tale, 1t appears, was written for the
entertainment of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti II.
His name appears in two places in the
manuscript, probably the only surviv-
ing autograph signature Of an Egypt
ian king. This piece of antique fiction,
written on nineteen sheets of papyrus
in bold hieratic hand, was purchased
n Italy by Nine. dOrbiney, who sold
Il in 1857 to the authorities of the
British museum. where it is now
known as the D'Orbiney papyrus.

MEXICAN MATCH A CURIOSITY
Is Made of Short Piece of Cotton
String, With Head at
Each End.

The Mexican friction match, from
our point of view, is a curiosity. For
one thing, it is not made Of wood, but
is a short piece of cotton string. Sec
ondly, it has two heads.
There is an undeniable advantage
about a match with two heads. If one
fails to light there is another in re-
serve. But the Mexican matches, to
do them justice, rarely go out. One
can strike them successfully In a fair
breeze.
This is because the cotton string is
coated with wax. In Mexico there are
factories in which such matches are
turned out by ingenious machines, but
billions of them are made by hand in
laborious fashion, the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys whose wages are a
few cents a day
One match in Mexico is really two
matches. Thus, when the native starts
fire or lights a cigarette with a fresh
one, he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use next time.

Alfalfa in New Zealand.

The raising Of lucerne or alfalfa In
New Zealand is receiving much atten-
ton of late, and the different varie-
ties are being tested, with the result
that there was cut during 1917 three
crops of Turkestan lucerne with n
total of 6 10 long tons per acre of the
green lueerne, weighing shortly after
cutting / y tons of Peruvian per acre,
12% tons of Potion, liz tons of Rus
sian, T. tons Of Spanish, l. 13 tons
of Hungarian, IA tons OF Patagonian,
and 14A tons Of Marlborough lucerne.
II is estimated that the Patagonian and
Marlborough ucerne, when converted
into hay would give an approximate
yield of 31a tons each, which at $19.46
per ton gives a total value of $6S.l3
per acre.
