BULCARIANS IN
 TRANQUIL STATE

GENEVA Switzerland, Sept 28.- Bulgaria is one of the most tran quil states in Europe today says Ivan s. Guichof, formerly Bulgarian Min ister of foreign affairs and now min ister to Switzerland.
 Instead of resorting to revolution the Bulgarians have returned to their farms and peace-time pursuits, be- leving this to be the only way of cur ing the ills caused by two successive wars, the minister adds.
 NJ. GiuchOf ascribes this peaceful internal condition and the opposition in Bulgaria to anarchistic or commun- ist propaganada to the fact that the majority of the Bulgarian people, 85 precent, are peasants, owners of their own land and homes. This is sutli- cient, he says, to show that the people so constituted as the Bulgarians are will always be averse to communistlc tendencies.
 Another reason for internal peace is the fact that crops in Bulgaria have been good.

REVIVES UNEAsINESS

Saturdays depatches relating to the Presidents conditions revive to some ex- tent the uneasiness which greeted the first bulletins of Mr. Wilson s illness. It is easi- ly understandable how a physical collapse would result on a man of siXty-tWo years, which is his age. And apparently his col lapse has been both physical and nervous.
 Undoubtedly he has labored under great difficulties, surmounting many of them by the greatest of efforts and others by compromises which probably told as heavily on him as did his hardest work. As the exponent of a new idea, he was forced to do most of the work connected with both its development and application. His reward came in its adoption by the rep resentatives of the several nations partici- pating in the peace conference.
 He was entitled to a well earned rest when he came home last July, but when he arrived he found that he must fight to pre- vent everything he had gained in Europe from being defeated by his personal oppon- ents at home. This fight he carried before the people, and in so doing brot about his present condition.
 In view of the statement issued Satur- day in Washington by his physicians, it seems apparent that he can take no more active interest in the treaty discussions. In fact there seems to be some doubt as to his being able to perform any of the executive duties devolving on him. In fact discussion is already being made as to the expediency of his place being taken by Vice-President Marshall. But no one seems to be certain of who shall declare such a step to be nee essary.
 Section of Article II, of the Constitu- tion makes provision for such cases saying: "In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall de- vOlve on the Vice-President, and congress may by law provide for the case of remov- al by death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice-President, de- claring what officer shall then act as Presi- dent and such officer shall act accordingly, uI1I1l CIt uISdD1uUy Ut IClllONcu UT ct ItSl- dent shall be elected"
 Congress apparently has never provid- ed a case for removal for disability. There is no precedent in the matter Of course, should a disability be declared and he be removed there seems to be no question that a recovery would remove the bar and his executive authority retransferred to him. It would be a serious blow to all humanity if MT. Wilson's condition should force his removal It is to be hoped that it will not be necessary, but there is much work of considerable importance connected with the office of chief executive at this time and more just ahead which may make such a step expedient. If such is the case now, he himself would be the last man to raise an objection.

given permission by the German officer il 'harge of the executions to turn his camcr: )n the scene.
 The resultant film may OF may not bC m argument for the independence of Let via, but there can be no doubt of it's power as an argument against bIoOdshed. Accord ing to the Sun:
 number of women who had been
 sitting thru the hearing had to leave
 the darkcned chamber after the first
 group of three had been killed. The
 horror was so utterly unlike the stage
 production of like affairs. so SduaIid
 and inhuman, so lacking in heroic eIe-
 ment of spectacle that men and women
 alike groaned as with fascinated eyes
 they watched the German soldiers
 mere boys, all of them-ining up the 1
 condemned men Ill position, stepping
 back ten paces in brisk, busincsslike
 fashion, and delivering the deadly vol
 ley. But the crowning horror was
 when the film, after the execution was
 ended, presented view of the mass
 of bleeding, quivering, shapeIess bodies
 in the trench, breath still coming and
 going in some of them
 It may be, as the philosophers have said that human life is rather unimportant But there are other things besides the loss of life involved in such an incident ThOsC who must witness the executions, or ever those who merely hear of them, have def lnitely lost some capacity for faith, hayC lost something of the courage that enables the race to struggle ahead And the mc1 who make up the firing squads must de- scend, in the end, to an order lower than the brute's to creatures hardened and de- based. And much of every war is like this The stage has not told us the truth about war ''The Better Ole" is the latest mili- tary fairy tale, the fighting in such pro ductiOns as "The Clansman' is heroicaIly posed. But the real thing is plain anC 5qualid butchery. Barbusse was rather op- timiStic than otherwise; Andrcas LatSkc came near the truth; DuhameI said as mucl as a mortal could put on paper. But the truth is worse than we have words to de- scribe And the tragedy for humanity i> that it can so soon forget, that it can "suf fill of horrors" and then, almost overnight turn again to the rule of force and the voice of cannon as final arbiters between na- riOns.

WEALTH IN THE HILLS
(DaWSOn News. )

Consider the hills. Therein lies oppor- tunity The winter offers the time The man without occupation needs to do little figuring with the lead pencil to determine whether he will profit more on the streets of Dawson this winter or in the hills.
 A life on the streets and in the cabin in the town may mean eight months of cozy existence. That's all. At the end of the winter, where are you?
 To the miner-and this is essentially the land of the miner-the course to take is the one that will get you somewhere. The same may be said of any walk of life. But to the man who maps out no course, devises no plan, exerts no initiative, there is no future
