Money from America
Will Buy Goods for
Needy Jugo-Slavians

Belgrade, June 15-(By MaiD -
Plans are being formulated here 70
utilize the money sent home or
by natives of Jugo-Slavia to enable
this country to purchase goods in the
United States or elsewhere.
To accomplish this, steps are be-
ing taken to organize a General CO..
operative Federation. A convention
for that purpose soon will be held in
Belgrade. 1t is proposed to unite in
this federation IA cooperative unions
already existing in Serbia, Slovenia,
Croatia and Dalmatia. Each union
is composed of smaller units known
as "zadruga." or loan associations
which exist in all branches of indus
try.
The largest among the IA unions Is
the Federation Of the Serbian Farm
ers Cooperative Societies. Alto
gether the unions have a total mem
bership Of 100000 heads Of families.
corresponding to about 2,000,0 900 per-
sons.
If the general federation of the.,e
IA unions is accomplished, IL is p-o-

Belgrade. This Is considered the,
most practical effort yet made to re-
establish credit in Jugo- Slayi,
The new federation would sell
products and purchase for all its
members. introduce modern machin-
cry. gather the savings of emigrants
and aid the farmers to cultivate the
land. 1t is intended to be not poIiti-
cal but economic and might easily be
the most powerful institution of
Jugo-Slavia.

bone-dry conditions. At least, that's
what the proprietors of hotels and
restaurants in the big cities are now
sayi1gy They explain that a large
proportion of their patrons liked a
cocktail or a glass of beer with their
lobster. and because they cannot now
get them the demand for lobster has
fallen off. This may be so, but the
falling-off has not been sufficient to
bring about any noticeable reduction
in prices along the Maine coast,
where we have long been accustomed
to take our lobster without either
beer or cocktail.

Public Rights TrampIed

The agreement to leave the dispute

But that does not clear the strikers

The men who struck have been
getting their pay out Of the passen-
gers whom yesterday they left in the
lurch.
The Boston Elevated is a wonder
full scheme Of transportation. 1t is
essential to the continuance Of the
industrial and commercial existence
Of the metropolis. But it ought to
be abandoned if it cannot be made to
pay. The Elevated ought to be free
to make its own rates. and hire its
men at the best rates they can agree
a railroad or street railroad it
ought to be beyond the power of any
man or organization of men to hold
up the regular schedule of operation.
A strike should be as intolerable and
unpopular as Bo!shevism or pro- Ger

Ofacials of the War Department

ing to pass the buck" in placing re-
sponsibility for the departments
amazing delay in declaring a food
surplus until a large quantity of it
had deteriorated to such an extent
that it had to be sold at a great loss
to the government. Various wit
nesses appearing before the commit
tee on war expenditures have testi-
fed to the fact that it took the de-
partment half year after the sign
ing Of the armistice to declare that a
food surplus existed, but each wit
ness has placed the blame in a diff
ferent spot, and now comes General
March. chief Of staff Of the army,
who says that a surplus could have
been declared in February instead of
May, but that the attitude Of the Sec
rotary Of war, who desired that the
Gamers should be protected against
a flooded market, had doubtless pre-
vented the quartermaster corps from
announcing it at that time.
Chairman Ravis pointed out that
although rehabilitation Of troops
had commenced almost Immediately
upon the signing Of the armistice, it
had taken the administration six
months to commence a demobiliza-
ton Of food supplies.

market and consequent interference
with the profits Of the packers and

declared six months after the signing
of the armistice.

Has the old Paul Revere bell in the
belfry of City hall pealed it's notes for
IL the belfry is removed and the bell
taken away? asks the Bath Times. To
the old time residents of Bath this will
seem almost sacrilege and yet there IS
- poss bility that this may be done.
The weight of the belfry is estimated
at five tons and it was the settling of
the structure recently discovered that
led to the passage of an order that the
necessary repairs be made at once.
Upon close examination. however, it is
discovered that the roof where it ad-
joins the belfry has settled about 10
inches and in order to make the neces-
sary repairs and hold up the weight
strong supports would have to be put
IN that would reach TO the very founda-
ton of old City hall itself.
Some have advanced the idea that tire
removal of the belfry as means Of
eliminating this weight would be So
luton of the. difficulty and save the city
quite a bill of expense. Others, how
ever. feel that the helfry should be re-
tanned and there the matter hinges. TIE
matter of repairs is in the hands of tie
committee on public buildings and it IS
expected that meeting will soon De
called to consider the fate of the belfry
and the bell. The latter is said to have
been cast at Paul Revere's foundry and
weighs about half ton.
The collection of statues bequeathe
by the late famous sculptor, Franklin
Simmons. to the city Of Portland is now

of about $4,000 will be available for

when transportation conditions become
such that the statues may be brought
to this country. The present freight
rates are practically prohibitive, while
the storage charges in Rome are less
than 81 per day.
Mayor Clarke Of Portland has a highly
priced souvenir of the old Spanish
cruiser Viscaya. destroyed in the battle
of Santiago, in the shape of a desk.
formerly in the captains cabin. 1t IS
high. dark English walnut affair and
serves as desk and a bureau. A tag
says Built at Falmouth. England.
The desk was taken from the burning
Viscaya by the Corsair. the old j. P.
Morgan yacht converted into a cruiser.
and came into the possession Of Alfred
H. Morong of Portland. who last fall
presented it to Mayor Clarke.
An interesting incident occurred a few
years ago. when a young man, working
on Boston-P Portland steamer, entered
the room and stood. gazing in astonisn-
ment at the desk?" Asked what the
matter was. he exclaimed: Where did
you get that desk?" The man had been
a cabin boy on the viscaya and had
often seen and placed articles in desk.
He was wounded in the Santiago fght.
