Marion and Sumter. The ssbuck and
ball" cartridge bullet and four
lbuckshot-was part of the regula-
| ton ammunition of the United States
army until the breech-loading rifle
replaced the muzzle-loading musket.
They were considerably used in the
Confederate army also. Buckshot in
small arm is the same as shrapnef
in cannon, so why it is any more in
human than any other weapon of war
lit would be difficult to prove.

The Star hopes the Entente will
give the Bulgars terms that will
change them from enemies to allies.
It will be not only policy but justice
to do SO. No matter what it has done
in this war. Bulgaria was badly treat
led before. The Bulgars bore the
brunt of the first Balkan war. The
Vaccinations of Germany and Aus
tria brought on the second war, in
which the Bulgars lost not only terri
tory which belonged to Greece and
Serbia, but that which they had taken
from Turkey. Then Rumania most
|unjustifiably came in on their rear
and took from them the Dobrudja.
Bulgaria should be compelled to give
up Greek and Serbian territory, but
the Dobrudja should be restored to it,
and the Bulgars should be encouraged
and aided by the Allies to take Euro
pean territory down to the Chatalja
line. Then Greece should be given
Asia Minor from the Aegean to the
Black Sea, Constantinople be made a
FIRE port, Pennsylvania should go to
Rumania and Jugo-Slav territories
concentrated in Serbia, and the Bal
kan question would be settled

better schoolhouses than homes, more
education than eats and more books
than bread.
