VOCATIONAL TRAINING
PLEASES EX-SOLDIERS
Statistic Show Discharged Men
Who Suffer From Tuberculosis
Take Greatest Interest.

Records of the federal board for vo-
cational education show that dis
charged soldiers suffering with tuber-
culosis are taking keen. interest in
the educational courses offered. Dur
ing the war Army statistics indicated,
it is declared. that such soldiers were
the most interested in the codrses.
The board tells the following
Recently three men, discharged
from the service with this disease,
came to the federal board for train
ing. their compensation having been
established by the bureau of war risk
insurance. Possessing a college edu-
cation in addition to practical ex-
perience, they were able to take short,
intensive courses, preparing them
selves for instructors in light arts
and crafts.
AS special advisers and instructors
they have been sent to widely sepa-
rated fields; one has gone to a sana-
torium in North Carolina. another to
Massachusetts and the third to Tex
as. They carry with them to these
far distant corners of our land the
encouragement that must come to the
tuberculosis in these hospitals from
contact with men, who. having over
come handicaps similar to their own,
are now leading lives of usefulness.

SAYS GERMANY BROUGHT
BLOCKADE ON HERSELF
Macmillan Harden Points to Re-
lection of British Plan IN
1907 at The Hague.

PARIS, Wednesday. May IA (French
Wireless Service).-Germany's block
ade troubles were primarily brought
upon her by herself. writes Maximil-
ian Harden, the German free lance, in
the latest number of.his periodical,
Die Zukunft
Both Bismarck and Caprivi had pre-
dicted such a measure against Ger
many if she went to war. the writer
points out but he argues that it
would have been impossible for the
blockade to have been imposed if Ger
many had not refused at The Hague
in 1907 to accept the British PROPOSE
ton tending to the abolition of the
right of capture and that of prohib-
tied zones on the sea.
The men who at that time were di-
recting German foreign policy, Herr
Harden continues. were convinced
that in case of the outbreak of an
Anglo German war the British people,
no longer devoted to agriculture
would suffer from famine much be-
fore Germany. a country highly de-
veloped agriculturally and adjoining
Russia, Holland and Denmark
In these circumstances, therefore, in
Herr Harden's opinion, the Germans
have no right to complain about the
blockade imposed upon them.

Hohenzollern

For many years old Kaiser
Bill accomplished fine things
for his state; we must admit,
already still, that as a hustler he
was great. He helped the state
in every way, by every fair and
unfair means; and now his
thankless people say, "'Twas
Kaiser Bill who spilled the
BEANS" Now who remembers
how he wrought to upbuild
German industries, and how he
gave his midnight thought to
finding marts for German
cheese? Forgotten are his coal
tar dyes; men think but of his
submarines, and daunt his spirit
with their cries, "Iou are the
guy who spilled the beans!"
II Bill had dreamed no war lord
stuff he would have honored
throne and crown; for he had
done big things enough to earn
a fair and fine renown; but now
he humbly saws his wood, and
humblvho his patch OF greens,
while peasants say, "He is no
good-he is the jay who spilled
the beans!" How it must gall
the exiled, Hun to know that
busy men forget the saner
things that he has done, to talk
about his one fool bet! How he
must weary of the game when
on his windowsill he leans, and
hears the passersby exclaim;
There is the skate who spilled
the beans!"

year of the war hated Germany with
true hatred.
when Mr.. Murphy arrived in Sofia
in 1915 he found the Germans jim pos
session of everything. owning many
buildings of their own, with their own
spy system organized. AS the war
progressed the Germans began to
send the food out of the country, and
living became a hard matter for the
Bulgars. Even during the heaviest
days of fighting against Russia, Mr..
Murphy asserted, the Bulgarians
placed wreaths on the statue of Alex
ander II of Russia, the Gear lib
orator"
Shoes Sell for 500.
The population of Sofia has grown
during the war as the result of peo-
pie in the outlying districts seeking
the city, in the belief that living con-
ditions would be better there. until
today food prices are extremely high.
Other commodities are selling at
great prices. A pair of shoes. for in
stance, costs about 500.
Mr.. Murphy, who is the first United
States consul general to Bulgaria, was
allowed by the government to buy
supplies in Sofia for the upkeep of
Roberts College and the American
College for Girls at Constantfnople.
Flour. rice. beans and cheese were
purchased by him for the colleges and
sent there in cars sealed with the
seal of Rumania. Mr.. Murphy pointed
to this action as showing the friend
ship CT the Bulgars for the United
States.
Relating the circumstances under
which he accompanied the officials of
the Bulgarian government who went
to the front to ask for an armsitice,
the granting of which marked the
beginning of the end for Germany,
Mr.. Murphy told how the officials
asked an audience with him.
They then explained what their po-
sition was, and how they desired him
to accompany them to the front. In
this request he acceded. and took a
wild ride by automobile through the
mountains. arriving at the front the
rext morning. While there he was
forced to seek shelter in a bomb
proof five times. owing to the in
tensity Of the British fire.
Mr.. Murphy is now on leave of alb
sence. having arrived in this country
week ago. He has served in the
consular service for the past fifteen
years. having been consul general to
France, Switzerland. Holland. Eng
land and Bulgaria during that time.
He was commissioner of pensions at

Firm in his faith of the Bulgars as a
people and as a nation, Mr.. Murphy de-
clares that Bulgaria now needs every
thing, from a locomotive to pin," and

branding the Bulgars as "a wild and
