Ran policy than the serbians.

trian policy than the Serbians.
These were in fact the same tao
tics adopted by Austria before the
war to win over to Austrian domina-
ton the Jugo-Slay provinces OF Sla-
yonia, Dalmatia and Croatia. In these
provinces by construction OF schools
and colleges and by comforting physi-
cal benefits far beyond what Austria
was doing for other already subJu-
gated provinces, the Dual Monarchy
hoped to curry favor Of the Jugo-
Slay population to a point where u
would accept willingly Austrian DOM
nation and forget its ideals and in
stincts for national and racial liber-
ty. The failure of this propaganda
is apparent in the present demand Of
the Jugo-Slay residents Of these prov
dent Jugo-Slay state.
Would Win Serbs Over.
That Austria has not given up her
former dreams of complete domino
ton in the Balkins with an outlet to
the Mediterranean at Salonika Is in
dictated also by other forms OF propa-
ganda which are to win Serbia over
to Austria.
Throughout the portion of Serbia
occupied by the Austrians the mill
tary authorities have limited the
requisition for food, livestock and
produce to the minimum quantity,
leaving the great bulk wit hthe Ser
bian peasants.
Simultaneously, Austrian agents
through Serbia have begun a propa-
ganda in favor of plebescite by
means of which Austria hopes to get
an apparent consent Of the Serbian
population for Austrian domination.
The suggestion is even made that
in the reorganization Of Austria into
q confederation Of states Serbia
would be allowed the same important
role as all Of the other members or
the confederation.
While all this propaganda unques-
tionably meets with some success, yet
from information that constantly
finds it's way out Of Serbia there Is
every indication that the Serbian
population has been schooled too long
in Austrian duplicity to be caught
in the net.

The war has affected number OF
things, and among others the supply,

linen dealers declare that virtually
no pure linen will be available next
year and advise thrifty housewives to
lay In as large a reserve supply as
possible. This some Of them are al

do, owing to the well-nigh prohibitive
price to which household linens Of all
sorts have already risen. The thing
to do then is to discover and use q

The substitute which has proved
the most practical and popular is per-

cheap, but on the other hand, It Is ex-

tyred Serbia is now being made the
victim Of one of the most diabolical
and insidious forms OF propaganda
the Austrians have yet devised.
At Salonika, Corfu, Rome, Paris,

FREEDOM EoR AL sLAvs.

"All branches of the Slav race
should be completely freed from Ger
man and Austrian rule" This en-
phatic , eaffirmation by Secretary Lam
sing of the position taken by the
United States government is of espe-
cial Importance at this time, when the
Slav problem has become one that in,
wolves the very existence of the Aus
tro-Hungarian empire, says Philadel-
phia Ledger. 1t e that we are
to stand squarely behind the national
aspirations, not only of Poland, but
of Bohemia and the Jugoslav provinces
that seek incorporation with Serbia.
The late Archduke Franz Ferdinand
was a strong advocate of the right of
the Bohemians to an equal voice with
the Germans and Hungarians in the
imperial government, and this fact
aroused the suspicion at the time OF
his assassination that the event was
not displeasing to Germany. Had he
lived to succeed to the throne, he
might have imposed his ideas upon
the ruling classes of the empire.
Charles has not been bold or intelli-
gent enough to do that. And nothing
is more certain than hat the Bohe-
mians will never submit now to any
arrangement which keeps them under

burg. Meanwhile the complete under
standing which has been reached be-
tween the Jugoslavs and the Italians
will make the demand for independ-
ence from that quarter equally ire
siStible.

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.

Mrs. Solomon Mason announces the
engagement of Miss Sarah Jones, an
accomplished and popular young lady
Of Pl%easantville, to Mrs. Mason's bro
Their, John w. Hewitt, of New York.
Mr.. Hewitt arrived home from France
a few days ago. When the war started
he tried several times to join the navy,
but was rejected; he decided there
fore to make himself as useful as pos
sible to his own line of work, and pre-
pared himself and went to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, taking the
course of national astronomy. He
graduated August Is, 1917. Since then
he has crossed the ocean six different
times as navigating officer on differ
ent steamers. Word has been received
that he has started across sea again
on the steamer Silver Shell, for
France. His many friends wish him
a safe return.

England is beginning to recognize
the Importance of intellectual train
ing for a growing democracy, says
New Republic. A new law will abol-
ish all exemptions from school attend
ance until the completion of the four
teenth year, with power granted to
local authorities to raise the age to
fifteen. Pupils will only be permitted
to enter or leave at stated periods in
the year. A rigorous system of school
attendance will be accomplished by
street limitations on the labor of chill
dren during their attendance in the
elementary school. The elementary
school curriculum of the future will
be less bookish and more practical
than hitherto and will be better articu-
lated with the higher schools. For
those pupils who cannot pass OF to a
secondary school, more advanced
courses will be provided in the last
two years of the elementary school
period.

NEW POTENTIAL IN WEST.

Some ~far-reaching plans are being
laid at Washington for the rehabilita-
ton of wounded and sick soldiers. but
the plans of some eDterprising West
erners go much further, says Phila-
delphia Bulletin. THEY propose to de-
yelop irrigation to an extent never be-
fore even contemplated, and, by i'm
pounding practically all the water in
the far West, make it do duty in
agriculture and at the same time fur
nish light, heat and power to COM
munities as yet unborn. Taking only
the actual surveys. it is declared that
millions of acres of waste land can
be redeemed on which returning sol
diers are expected to settle. Realizing
that many young men from the cities
will have had u taste of %open-air
life which will lead them to farm, it
is proposed to have the country ready
made for the returning battalions. The
sums proposed are not large compared
with attainable results already demon
strated. We have become so used to
thinking in billions that a few hun
dred millions now seem of no conse-
quence, although formerly We stood
ashast at such suggestion. The far
Western people declare that with ma
tional aid they can make all the deserts
blossom, can ecure light, heat, and
featuring, and can help pay the war
debt.

ever repay the debt we owe? The
time has come for us, the commercial
men of this country, to relieve our
French and British Allies overseas of
their appalling burden. Their soldiers
are now u soldiers, as truly as if
they wore u uniform; and our boys
are theirs. Business over there, too,
is American business. 1t is fighting
the battle that will save us, along with
the people of England and France,
from destruction. A British or French

lean merchant marine whose vessels
ply the high seas will be generally

A few days ago a contributor to
the New York Sun spoke of the
double-headed eagle of Prussia" and
the error was permitted to go uncor-
rected. Now it is misleading editors,
who ought to "know what they are
talking about" but sometimes don't.
The heraldic aviary contains no such
bird. Austria has a double eagle, and
so has Russia-or had, if it has not
persisted under the rule of the bolshe-
Wiki. The Prussian eagle is a fierce
and ugly-looking fowl, but it has one
head and no more.

Reports of industrial revolts in Ger

Reports of industrial revoltS in Ger
many and of bread riots in Austria
continue to get past the censors into
neutral countries. Is there any rea-
son for doubling them? Some observ-
ers suspect that they are sent out with
the idea of causing the allies to weak
en- their effort and become careless.
This seems absurd. If the outbreaks
had not occurred the truth would soon
er or later become known, says Bing-
hamton Press. Their seriousness may
be exaggerated. We cannot tell what
effect they are likely to have.
But we can recognize them as symp-
toms of a disease, and we know that
the disease is eating out the vitality
of the central empires. The disease
is economic and moral bankruptcy.
And, since it cannot be secured by
German victory, we may be assured
that in time it is bound to prove fatal.
