lem will be created, for the southern
Slavs are just as certain to pursue
their quest of complete unificatlon as
were the Italians, and Dalmatia will be-
come a Slavonic Trentino to trouble the
peace of the world for many decades.
To the Dalmatian problem is added
that OF Trieste and Istria. Here the
Italians are on firmer ground. Trieste
is an Italian city, two-thirds Of it's
population being Latin so is Gorilla,
inant portion of the population Of Is
tria is also Italian. But even in Istria
and the coastland the hinterland is
peopled by Slavs, and by reason of this
the Slavs claim all the httoral OF the
Adriatic from the mouth of the Isonzo
southwark, including Trieste and Pola,
This claim they intend to press at
upon the strictest Interpretation of the
principles of a and self -determina-
ton, but it can hardly prevail, given
Italian sacrifices for the possession of
the Italian city Of Trieste.
To me this Adriatic problem seems
n Of the most dangerous Of all that
will have to be decided at Versailles,
because there can be no settlement
satisfactory to both sides and any
wholly unjust and unfair decision will
open the way to an endless animosity
between Italy and the new and power
full Slav state which is destined to rise
on the eastern shores of the Adriatic.
But whatever the solution, there seems
certain to be a strong Jugo-Slavia be-
tween the sea and the Draw and ex-
tending from the Alps to the Rhode
plans, constituting one of the new
facts Of a totally new southeastern Eu-
rope.

some supposedly hitherto unheard of story. But letters from

somewhat mcongruous situation that permits a mar to say pub

busy now in organizing Thrift clubs
in all of the schools in the county.
Letters are being sent to the teach
elA o1 the various schools asking
them to start Thrift clubs in their
schools and have as many pupils as
possible become members.
Mr. Shepard is planning to visit
every school in the county in person
il possible to see that this work is
pursued with the proper vigilance
and in a patriotic spirit.
''nefore many weeks we expect to
have Thrift club organized in every
school nj the county. A child can do
nothing that will be of greater bene-
fit to himself and to his country at
this time than to become a member
OF one of these Thrift clubs and
hone that no parent will object to
their child becoming a member of
snt'h clubs, said Supt. Shepard.
ITO cultivate the habit of thrift
among children is a matter that the
school teacher and the parent can
cooperate in and is a lesson that
should be taught early in the life of
every child If a child should begin
by the time he or she is 21 years of

This would be a sufficient sum to
