she was worried almost crazy and she
hunted awhile. and then he got some
other men to hunt for me. because he
had to go home.
They hunted all night. Along to-
ward morning the hunters who were
hunting for me ran into the hunters
who were hunting for DR.. Miller. They
had Swatty with them. because Mrs.
Miller mad said Swatty had, come to
away with him. They We're trying TO

like he was crying and said he didn't

Well. the hunters who were hunting
because Mrs. Miller hadn't got worried
until toward morning. because she
thought he was attending to his busi-
ness. But toward morning my father
and Bony's father came to his house,
and 1t was at their houses Mrs. Miller
frightened and got some men to hunt
him.

tried II a while, and then he said, but
not SO gay:
well. we'll have to dig out"
"Then, Jake, let us dig" said the
doctor. And they dug. / dug. too, but
mostly i only pretended to dig. 1t
was dark in there and you couldn't
see, and clay isn't anything to dig
with your fingers. Jake and the doc
tor had pocket knives. but you know
how much you can dig with pocket
knife, But they had the right idea.
They didn't try to dig through the
tunnel like me and Swatty thought
they would. They dug around the
door.
Well. when Swatty and Bony had
locked us In they went and sat on the
bank across the creek to see what
would happen. Nothing happened.
Then Swatty got to thinking. He
didn't worry about Jake, because Jake
was O hired man and nobody ever
knew when he would get home: but
he knew my aunt would want to
know where I was. That made him
think of Mrs. Miller. and she would
want to know where the doctor was.
He was mighty worried. We had
thought that maybe we could keep the
doctor in the cave couple of weeks
until everything was all right. but he
knew right away that me and Jake
and the doctor couldn't live on the
food l had put in the cave, and he
knew my aunt would start out to find
where i was. and Mrs. Miller to find
out where DR.. Miller was. He was

ply actual separation from Austria]
WAR events have changed this mod
Grafton. The recognition of the
Czecho- -Slovak nation by England.
France and Italy, and possibly later
by the United States.! does mean the
dismemberment Of the Austro-Hun-
garian empire. SO does the recogni-
ton Of the enlarged Jugo-Slav state.
This development probably also
means rapprochement between the
Hungarian Magyars and the Austrian
Teutons. The Czecho- Slovak nation
subtracts from Hungarian as we'll as
from Austrian territory. The Jugo-
Slav state subtracts principally from
Hungarian territory. Hungary al
ways has contended strenuously for
the right to oppress these national
ties and she will fight the moro
strenuously now. that she is in dam
ger of losing all control Of them.
But even a genuine rapprochement
between Austria sand Hungary can
not change the meaning Of an allied
victory, Whatever It might have
meant, a year ago in the way of en-
larged autonomy for Bohemia, Mon
rovia, Croatia and other parts OF the
dual empire 1t now can only mean
their complete separation, and this
means the end Of the house Of Haps-

It may frankly be admitted that

probably OF the more recent policy
Of the United States. British states

pose the Jugo-Slav state. Terri
torially. this is expected to comprise
Serbia. Montenegro. Bosnia. Herzego-
vina, Croatia. Dalmatia and part Of
eastern Istria back of Trieste. These
are the territorial areas that were
proposed at what was known as the.
Corfu conference.
Corfu is the Greek port which the
allies occupied and to which the gov
ernment Of Serbia was transferred
after the armies of the Huns sue
section of Serbia. 1t was there that
the representatives of the peoples Of
all these regions met and formulated
their plan of union. In one sense this
Jugo-Slav state was q greater Serbia.
but 1t was more than that: The gen.
eral plan was a sort Of federated
nation with three distinct states based
largely on racial and territorial homo
geneity.
prised In the Jugo-Slav area are Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes. Because Of the
similarity Of names, the latter are
sometimes confounded with the Slo-
vaks of the north. but they are en-
tirely distinct.
X g.,
Tht Jugo -Slav state has within its
prospective boundaries 10000, 900 peo-
pie. Many of these have been fighting
right along against the central pow
ers. The larger part attached them
selves to the Serbian army and have
been fighting on the eastern front, or
have formed part of the allied forces
at Saloniki. Many of the Croats and
Slovenes were forced into the Aus
trian army. Like the northern Slavs.
hundreds of their leaders were exc
cuted, and all sorts of atrocities were
visited on the people. This element
In the Austrian army has not had
the same opportunity as the Czecho-
Slovaks to free itself. but 1t is al
ways under suspicion. and properly SO,
since there can be no real loyalty of
the Croats and Slovenes to Austria.
lined at the Corfu conference there
was one serious obstacle. This was
Italy's nationalistic aspirations and
her plans to control the Dalmatian
and other territory which was peo-
pied mostly by Slavs. Following the
military reverses of last October and
the development of new policy, this
situation was recognized by the Ital-
ian leaders. A rapprochement was
sought and obtained with the JugoA
Slavs, and the danger of friction was
avoided.
Great Britain. France and Italy. in
their attitude toward the Jugo-Slav
state, were not compelled to meet a
new question. as they were In regard
to the Czecho -Slovak nation. For
them Serbia and Montenegro still ex-
