FATHER OF JUGO-SLAVIA,

Like Masaryk Of CZcchs. Serbian Pre-
mier Leads Balkan States to Path
of Freedom.
N. +. A. Special to The Tribune
PARIS, France.
Serbia is the hub of the new Jugo-
Slav state.
Nicholas Pasitch is to the Jugo-Slav
state as Masaryk is to the CZecho-
Slovak nation.
Masaryk, first president of the
Czecho-S Slovak republic, crystalized
the national consciousness of the
Czechs of Bohemia and brought about
their recognition by the allies.
Pasitch conceived the Jugo-Slav
state as it is now being organized. AS
prime minister of Serbia he has fur
thered the movement of Balkan ma
tions for single state of southern
Slavs.
Now Pasitch is at Versailles as rep
resentative of Serbia-and of Jugo-
Slavia.
If he can bring into being a har-
monious nation, he is greater than
Masaryk. Fo rhe has more turbulent
and varied forces to deal with and he
will have solved the Balkan problem
which has worried the world so long.
He will have seen created nation
of 100000 people hitherto oppress-
ed-Serbs, Croats, Slovenes.
Pasitch is 72 years old. He served
as an engineer in the Turkish war Of
1876. He founded the Serbian radical
party in 1881. For seven years he
was in exile under sentence of death
for plotting against King Milan.
He was repatriated under an am
nesty and several tmies held the post
of prime minister, was foreign min
lister and served the government in
other positions.
Then in 1896 he was condemned to
five years in prison for high treason
and almost Immediately pardoned.
Nine: Pasitch has been a power in
the relief work of the Belgian nation,
having visited England to study the
methods employed by the western al
lies.
An English governess has trained
the daughter Of the Serbian leader.

WOMEN IN UNIFORM.

New York, March 21.-Women
canteen workers in the Young Mems
Christian Association huts in France
will have for pew Easter Clothes this
year what has been declared the
official uniform for them. Work in
the canteens over there is much too
hard to permit of frills and flounces,
or even the ordinary garb of civilian
life.
The new uniform for women can
teen workers consists of the follow
ing:
l gray whipcord coat and skirt.
l hat, blue or gray cloth
2 Shirtwaists, blue orr white flan-
mel
l blue necktie
/ blue wooden muffler
l brazzard
canteen overall aprons
2 caps.
The cost of the new uniform is as
follows;
Suit-275 francs. (There are 5
francs in one dollar
Hat-24 to 40 francs
Coat-135 francs
Or if preferred
Cape 140 francs
Scarf-10 francs
Tie--5 francs
Aprons-15 francs each
by General Pershing's order, the
entire canteen work for the army
in France has been taken over by
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. This will mean that hundreds
of new canteens will be opened there
before fall Scores of American
women will be at work in them, pay
ing their own expenses, working
without pay, and dispensing with
many of the simplest comforts of
life in order to be of aid to the men
of the army.

The soldiers have availed them
selves of the comforts and conven-
fences of the club in great numbers.
AS an index of the number that
write letters there, our bill for print
ed letter heads and envelopes for
February, amounted to more than
$4,000, and it was distributed judi
ciously and economically by our jani-
tor. All these letterheads however,
carry the name of our town, wnion
is in itself an advertisement for
Marietta that is worth while.
Their every want is supplied at the
club. Good soap, and clean towels
always on hand, a warm and well
lighted room, plenty of papers, mag
azines, books and musical instru-
ments.
An organ, a grafonola and other
instruments have been loaned us, and
we bought good secondhand piano,
and the men certainly enjoy the use
of all of them.
Our people have been very gener-
Gus in sending in magazines, and
we want them to continue to send
them, as they are very necessary.
We believe our soldiers club, more
than anything else, has made the
men like so we'll to stay in Marietta,
and so reluctant to leave.
A number of Entertainments have
been given by the ladies at the club
room, all of which have been greatly
appreciated and enjoyed by the
men.
The cost of operating the place
is approximately $125.0O per month,
and every economy is practiced, con-
sistent with proper service.

THIEVES, LIQUOR DEALERS
AND VACRANTS, WILL GET
CHAIN GANG SENTENCES

Judge N. A. Morris in charging
the grand jury at this term OF court
stated that there were three classes
of criminals, thieves, manufacturers
of liquor and those selling it or haul
ing it for sale, and vagrants were 60
ing to get straight chain gang sem
tences without the right to pay a
fine when convicted before him.
He urged the grand jury 30 make
thorough investigation of this class
of violations of the law. He stated
that he had been sending criminals
of this class to the chain gang
straight regardless of who they were
and he was going to continue to do
so. He stated that every man could
get employment with reasonable COM
pensation for the work either on
farms or in the manufacturing in
dustries, and that labor was in great
demand and those that persisted in
stealing instead of working would go
to the chain gang when convicted be-
fore him, and vagrants without
means of support had to get living
from some source-evidently getting
it honestly-and that they either had
to go to work and make an honest
living or, if convicted before him,
they would have to work on the pub
lie roads of the county.
AS to the violations of the liquor
laws he stated that thousands of
pounds of sugar and meal, and large
quantities of syrup were being made
up into whiskey and sold, that all of
this was need to feed the American
soldiers and the allies and would be
needed in his opinion before the war
is over to feed the women and chill
dren at home, and every one regard
less of who he was, that persisted
in making, or hauling for sale, OR
selling whiskey would be given a
straight chain gang sentence when
convicted before him. He stated that
he had recently sent a number of
men to the chain gang for the viola
ton of this law and was going to
continue to do so, that fines wouldn't
prevent it, and nothing short of chain
gang sentences would stop it.
