ALONG THE AERIATIC.

By no means Q simple problem is that which is faced by the peace con- ference in dealing with the situation along the 'Adriatic. There has been no rupture over the matter but there are complications there which more than those directly involved cannot fail to recognize. Thjs is due to large extent to the fact that a new control of territorK along national lines is underway in that region and 1t is the overlapping of such lines which makes the problem rather com piicated.
 Italy's ambition has been to regain the territory from the dual monarchy which was taken from it hack in 1866 at the time of Italy's betrayal by Prussia. With Austria Hungary to deal with there would be TO question but what Italy's plan would encounter no difficult obstacle, but the dual monarchy as it used to be has little to say today The Juso -Slavs have laid claim to southern portions of Austria and they are. anxious to in elude within their boundaries territory which is wanted by Italy. while Italy in addition to laying claim to the Austrian territory is seeking vantage points along the east coast of the Adri- atic which will give it control of that sea.
 Whether the Jugo -Slavs unite with Serbia as Montenegro has announced that it will OF whether Jugoslavia will set up a senarate government Is bit uncertain but there certainly seems to be no reason why the con- flictiRg claims in that region should not be adjusted if there is proper disposition manifested on each side 10 come to a reasonable decision. Ger tainly there ought not 10 be any thought of friendly people fighting amongst themselves as So often hap pens in the Balkans when it comes tl dividing the spells.

ATTRACTIVE ANNABEL

T don't sec" begun the girl with the purple knitting pag. why disa- gFeeaele people are so attractive"
 "Attractipe!" exclaimed her com ranien, whose bag was green. "well. I can't say that I ever thought they were. Quite the opposite!"
 "Oh, l don't mean pleasantly attrac- tive in the ordinary sense of the word. l mean attractive-like a magnet, I was thinking of Annabel. You see, when I was up in Michigan 1 stayed at the same hotel, the kind where ev- cry one is friendly with every one else, and the women give one another their pet recipes sor hair tonics and freekle cream. So, of course, people tried to be nice to Annabel. too, a; first. But she was in an unusually bad frame of mind. I think she feels that the war is a personal grievance because it has deprived her of brother to henpeek. She speEt most of her time on the veranda sulking.
 Now, Annabel wasn't the only one who liked that veranda. The women all assembled there every morning for 8 knitting bee. The first morning some one asked Annabel why she didn't knit, and you should have heard Annabel's answerl It was something about one knitting machine worknrs faster than forty women and how pa triotism was not just a matter of clothing, any way. After she got through speaking and retired into her book with don't disturb me aid there was change like storm threatening. Every one was glad when the luncheon bell rang.
 "Next morning the women all gath cred in a far end and spoke in low tones as if out of respect to Annabel. And it was queer, but everybody kert glancing at her now and then to see if she looked disapprovirg. Not [n.. any one cared if she did. but it was just sort of instinct. She enjnyed it, too. I think disagreeable people like to make uncomfortable atmos- pheres, just as pleasant people enjoy spreading good cheer. If you said good morning to Annabel she let out a sort of gloomy gruut in return. I rather liked to hear her do it. it just suited her.
 Well, it happened that there was an attractive young girl up there

TIE SILVER lcHEvRoNs.

Alth0Hgh it may not Nave been an- tlcipated at the time, it has doubtless been made evident since that the per mission given to men in the service, who did not get a chance to go over seas to wear silver chevrons has not met with the cordial reception that may have been expected.
 All kinds of designations have been placed upon the uniforms for the pur- pose of telling the rank of and service performed by the individual. They are understood for the most part by those in the service but not many out side. unless they have made a study of them or carry a chart about with item. can make anything out of a large portion of the decorations.
 The latest thing is the silver chev- ron and 1t is chiefly because it calls attention to the fact that those wear ing such did not go out of the coun- try and therefore may seem not to have done their bit as fully as oth- CTS that the designation has been criticised.
 The men who were in the service oNerSeae were gwen SOlu cheVrons. That started the ball rolling. It didn't please those on this side to be left out without any and to meet the result- ing situation 1t was decided that those in the service in this country. though it was no fault of theirs that they did not go across. should have silvcf chevrons That, likewise. has failed to set we'll for it discriminates ard there ls no little weight to the claim that many who went across did no more than those who remained at home since they were not concerned in the actual fighting. Thus the effort tC settle the ehevron privilege can hard iy be considered a success, and cer. tainly there is no reason for belittlins the patriotic and efficient service rep. dered on this side of the water.

But Annahel took violent dislike to him, and when she talked at all she always took pains to say some herrid thing about him.

STATE MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS

According to the decision which has been rendered by the judge advocate general and supported by the secretary Of war. the national guard units upon their return and discharge will go out Of existence. This is because they lost their identity when they were taken into the federal service and it is fully undeFstood that they have been SO greatly changed since that time that there Is little left of the original units. whether through transfers or losses.
 The decision. however does not stand in the way of the reorganization of the national guard bodies under state control and receiving federal aid even as prevailed before the opening of the war, Many of these organiza- tions had attained an enviable record in state service and have gloriously maintained # during the war. The military companies of this state have shown the benefits of their training. Because of their rating they were se- Aected for much of the hard service

 It has been urged that whatever is done in the future regarding the maintenance of an army should be re- stricted solely to federal action, but t can be appreciated that there will be a desire upon the part of a great many of the returning soldiers that there should be g reorganization of their old organizations. and in such a stand they are bound to get strong support not only from those who were associated with such state units be- fore the war but from the people in general.
