in a striking manner to Bulgarians
by the recent Developments. The
same feeling is expected to prevail
among the young Turks, who pre-
ferred to trust Germany rather than
Great Britain and France although
it is said. these powers and Russia
gave to the Porte a formal declara-
ton guaranteeing the integrity OF
Turkey if she would. remain neutral
in the war.
The great mass OF the Turks, as
well as all other nationaiities in
Turkey are said to be overjoyed tc
witness the termination of the rule
of the governing clique in that coun.
try and the success Of the entente
powers. They now realize. it is said
that Germany cared nothing for the
condition of the Turks but. was sole
1y concerned with her own CONNER
cial and industrial schemes affect
ing Turkey.
The general feeling of tranquility
has succeeded the recent troublous
times and all political parties replace
confidence in the ability OF the
present democratic ministry OF
Bulgaria to extricate the country
from its present condition.
The organization OF a society il
Sofia to promote the idea of a Balkan
confederation is criticized here or
the grouGd that it is premature.

COURT TEST OF
AMENDMENTS Due
Likely That Action Will Be
Instituted In North Da-
keta Supreme Court

A contest very likely win be
launched in the supreme court OF
! North Dakota against the action of
the state canvassing board in declar-
ing PASSED the group Of five consti-
tutional amendments initiated by the
Nonpartisan league that failed to
obtain "a majority Of all votes cast
!. in the election" as provided by the
constitution, but which were declar-
ed passed because they had a. majority
of the votes cast on each individual
amendment
The exact form the action viii
take on has not been definitely an
! nounced. according to. Information
that became available in Fargo to-
day..
Ever since the canvassing board
declared the amendments passed, on
the strength Of an opinion signed by
Attorney General LANCER, who held
that the clause in the constitution
requiring that an initiated amend
ment to pass must have a majority
of all the votes cast in the election,
meant a, majority OF votes cast for
and against the amendment, 1t has
been regarded as certain that a test
would be started.
There are four Nonpartisan league
members Of the state supreme court,
one Of whom has already publicly
announced that the canvasslng
boards action was unlawful. One
member OF the court was elected De
fore the judiciary was thrown INTO
the politics of the Nonpartlsan
league.

Sofia. Bulgaria. Dec. 10.-(Corres-
pondence Of the Associated Press.l-
Bulgarian political leaders profess
to be gratified by the entrance of the
entente fleet into Constantinopie
and express the belief that it assures
an equitable and reasonable solution
of the interminable question OF who
shall control the straits OF the Dard-
enelles. This problem has been the
constant nightmare OF most of the
Balkan states, particularly Of Bull
garia, Runania and Greece. These
countries always have considered the
possibility of Prussian occupation
of Constantinople to be a serious
menace to their own national exis-
teuce.
This fear was one OF the causes
which led Bulgaria to take sides with
the central powers in the war. Later
when Russia abandoned her exclusive
claim to Constantinople. Russia's en-
try into the war on the side Of the
entente was facilitated.
Political circles in Bulgaria are
profoundly impressed by the giddy
rapidity with which events of far
reaching international Importance
now are transpiring. The folly of
the policy pursued by the former
King Ferdinand and his government
in Bulgaria has been brought homo

What Is Simple Life?

From the Humanitarian.
Most of US are inclined to hold to
the opinion that man leading
1 simple life is a creature who neces-
sarfly has to walk barefooted or with
out the full outfit Of modern clothes
and that It is only the country folk
who can lead that sort of life. by
virtue of their contact with nature.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. A millionaire occupying a
mansion on 5th avenue can lead the
simple life, If in his discharge OF
daily duties he looks upon hts fellow
man as his brother and does not en-
large In his own eyes his importance;
due to his palatial residence or his
expensive clothes. On the other h4nd,
the farmer or the man who walks
around barefooted from necessity. or
who wears the simplest kind Of
clothes because he cannot ahord
others, and goes about with envy In
his heart toward every being who
possesses more than he does. is Tar
from living the simple life in thought
or dress or IN any other matter.
To lead q simple life one has but
60 realize that It Is the spirit in which
things are done, and the spirit In
which life is lived. That Is the es-
sential thing. This Is applicable to
dress. to work. to education, thoughts
and pleasures and I might say last.
that which I should have said first.
to material dealings between a man
and his fellow beings.

The first sergeant always has been

The first sergeant is the buffet Be-
tween the enlisted men and the conf

listed man. but often appropriates an
atitocratic authority that even the CAP.

Sharp Opposition to Salary Tar.

Representatives Montague of Vir-

sharp but futile opposition to the
clause subjecting salaries Of federal
and state off1ceholders to income
taxes. A motion by the former ITO
exempt state, county and municipal
officials. whom, he declared, Congress
has now power to tax, was defeated
70 to 32,while Representative Walshs
motion to exempt salaries Of the
President and federal judiciary was
voted down, II to II.
Opponents of the sections taxing
salaries of federal and state officials
and bonds of states ana their po-
1itical subdivisions said Congress has
no power to levy such taxes be-
ereignty and are in violation Of the
Constitution. Those supporting the
committees draft upheld both. the
policy and legality of the provisions.
