The boundaries which those chronic
dlsturbers of the peace, the Balkan
states, had before the recent world
war were established to them by the
treaty Of Bucharest signed at the
Roumanian capital on August 6, 1913,
by representatives of the said states
and Greece. That treaty closed two
wars, practically, n in which the Bal
kan states were united In fighting Tur-
key and one in which they were fight
Ing among themselves. By 1910 the
Bulgar and Greek bands in Macedonia,
which had been quite as likely to mas
sacre each other as to massacre the
Turks, had got together for the pur-
pose Of devoting all their efforts
against the common enemy. Then
trouble broke out in Albania and the
Serbians sent their irregulars to help
the Albanians against the Turks.
1t was the same old story of the Bal
kans being "afiame" again. In March
Of 1912 Greece, Bulgaria, Montenegro
and Serbia came to an understanding,
agreeing to bury their mutual animosi-
ties temporarily and combine against
the Turk. Roumania stood aloof. The
Porte, alarmed, promised reforms in Al
bania and Macedonia. Turkey also IN
nounced that she would hold army ma
neuvers near Adrianople.

The great powers began to "diplo-
matize," to prevent a war. Germany
and Austria declared that the status
quo in the Balkans must be main
tanned, and Austria modified her
army. But the wild nations Of the
Balkans had got out Of hand, and
little Montenegro, on October s, 1912,
declared a against Turkey. On Oc-
tober II Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia
issued a joint declaration to the same
effect. A Bulgarian army of 100000
men occupied Mustapha Pasha on Oc-
tober 10, Kirk-Kilisseh on the Oath and
invested Adrianople on the 9th. Two
days later vas fought the s%anguinary
battle of Lule Burgas, the chief battle
of the war, with a front of % miles.
In this battle the Turks lost $4,000
killed and wounded and 5000 prison
ers, while the Bulgarians lost $4,000
killed and wounded. The Turks now
fell back upon the Tchatalja forts, the
last line of defense for Constantinople.
Meantime the Serbians had swept
into Macedonia and were driving the
Turks before them with heavy losses,
while one part of their army was sent
to join the Greeks at Saloniki and an
other detachment to help the Montene-
grins. The Greeks, coming up from
the south, routed the Turks in several
engagements and finally captured Salo-
niki. Turkey asked the powers to me-

WHAT THE PUBLISHER WANTS.

MOT many years ago there was tortoise shell
Y trimmed, tea table talk that the novel was an
obsolescent Form. The world no longer had leisure
for it. Its devotees were Yictorians misplaced. To
be sure certain quantity of book length fiction
would probably exude from the presses now and
then; but the really significant expression would
take the short, intensifying forms If the tea was
Drama League affair the play was to be the thing.
Those tea leaves astrologers may have been right.
No one can prove that they weren't. Just as they
had the poor old novel gasping its last gasp and
nicely measured for its shroud, came the war and
upset all calculations about the Trend Of Art. In
1914 we Americans, whose thoughts might have
been better occupied took to interviewing one an
other on the probable effects Of the war on art and
letters. We knew more about them then than any
one seems to know to-day.
But for the time being, as well as be dis
cerned the forms Of creative writing are all start
ing afresh from scratch and the novel, instead OF
being moribund is in quite as lusty condition as
any other 1t has its full proportion of such sig
nifcant'' new work as there is, and more than its
full proportion of popular interest.
In America it seems easily promising as the
theatre and ahead of the short story. 1b England
witness Mr. WALPoIE's London letter of last
week-it seems to be ruling the hour with the vigor
if not the distinction of the time when CHARLOTTE,
BRoNTE was CURRER BELL, and when those who did
not prefer DICKENS with CRUIKsHANK's lllustra-
tons were awaiting next month yellow covered in
stament of a story called Vanity Fair, with the
author own Mr.. WALPoLE did not prophesy that
this ascendency will last and you do not catch us

in the first place have too much prescience to pre-
diet anything. In the second, we never thought the
novel in America was as desperately close to the
grave and the need Of rebirth as the tea leaves
averred.
Now for Originality.
However, he who has rum as have, through
this spring book output has seen for himself that
novels are getting published and apparently being
read, and that some of the offerings of highest
quality are some of the biggest successes. He has
also observed that no particular type of novel DOM
mates the postbellum trade yet-that the pub
fishers are sailing by dead reckoning they have not
been able to make up their minds what kind of long
fiction the public wants to read, except that it
doesn't want any more stories-and that sew
eral publishers in the mood to try almost any
thing once.
So here is a state of affairs to beginning novel;
ists advantage. No doubt there have been better
markets, both for manuscripts and for books. But

and Mrs. C. NJ, Hooper of this city,
who returned to Pullman last week
after two years of service in Uncle
Sans navy, had the rare privilege
of witnessing the surrender of the
great German high seas fleet on No
vember 81, 1918. a sight which, he
says, compensated him for All the
hardships and privations which ac-
companied his naval career. Hooper
enlisted as an apprentice seaman at
Spokane, December 10, 1917, ana re-
ceiyed his training at the United
States naval training station at San
Francisco and the naval radio school
at Cambridge, Mass. He served on

Nebraska, sailing for overseas Au-
gust II, 1918. A few days before

returned from overseas service De-
cember 26, 1918. and on September

the work of his brother, p. F. Gaiser,
until the latter is able to return to

from Whitman College in 1917. He
entered the service almost immedi-
ately and was with the Goth division
of the seth field artillery in South
Carolina when the armistice was
signed. He received his discharge
last December. The high school is
very fortunate in securing his serv-
ices at this time.

the high school began this week
under the direction of Mr., Gaiser.
This training of 80 minutes a week
is required by new state law passed
