At dinner l met two deaconesses
and a volunteer worker from Maco 1,
Ca, but didn't have time to ask them
much ABOUT the work. However, they
said their work was doing finely and
sent a message to all women Of tie

Don't fail us. We can not carry j.
on without your prayers and help"
At $3.50 we had a patriotic address
by Rev. George Stewart, pastor of
the First Methodist church in Birm-
ingham, who has summer home at
Lake Junaluska. He is wonder, and
although he has been preaching and
lecturing at the Lake six years, yet
the crowd to hear him was almost as
large as the morning.
After his address was concert by
brass band taught by Prof. Shaw Of
New York, who hcs been teaching all
kinds of music there. I left this to at
tend the children story hour, and We
old folks enjoyed this as much as the
children. One Of the stories was Of
children in Korea, told by fair-hair-
ed. sweet-faced girl who looked about
21 but who has been a missionary in
Korea for twelve years, and is over
here for rest.
This closed my day, for doctor came
after me, and though I was tired out
yet I was glad I went.

The campaign going on in North

that the wool famine, not to mention
the meat situation, is much more seri-
Gus than the people can possibly con-

"Suptuary laws originating in the
notion that luxury is opposed to pub

the establishment Of Robert College and the
American Missions in Bulgaria created a
nucleus of friendly interest here; but in
England also Bulgaria has somehow sue
cecded in attaching to herself little group
of sympathizers, despite the fact that not
single public act of hers can be adduced
ground for such sympathy.
The years 1912 and 1918 saw Bulgaria
breaking her own black records IN the be-
trayal of her friends. Even at this late
date, when there has been time for the
events of the Balkan wars to the sifted, and
the blame and credit fairly apportioned,
there are still people who, thanks to the
clever Bulgar propaganda, believe that Bull
garla bore the brunt Of that war, and who
do not realize yet the black dishonesty,

nand of Coburg and his satellites were
guilty over and over again. 1t was not only

which showed the Bulgarian attitude in
1912-13
Bulgaria's repeated acts Of dsloyaty to
her agreement with the other Balkan allies
proved her utter inability to keep faith, and
her final attack Serbia simply made it
clear to all who had eyes to see that not
only was she bent on policy of the most
selfish aggression, but that she was once
more working in collision with Austria
Hungary for the suffocation of Serbia.
There is, indeed, need to bring outside
accusations against Bulgaria for that piece
of perfidy; she is quite willing to acknowl-
edge it herself. Here is a statement made
by the mir" April %, 1879 as to her
motives in allying herself with Serbia and
then betraying her:

end; to conquer our common enemy
