Just Folks
BY EDGAR A. GUEST
REST TINE

Glad I'm living nowadays.
With the world with sun abiaZe'
Glad the Lord has favored ME
Once again to live to see
Tulips nodding at my feet
And to smell the clover sweet:
Glad that | can hear the blrds
Singing, without need of words,
Songs of joy on every hand
That the soul can understand.
Yesterday a robin hoped
To my window sill and stopped
And beside the crystal pane
Started up glad refrain;
Poured out all his melody
For the whole wide world and me;
Sang his gladdest repertoire,
Paused for breath and sang some
more,
And I stood and heard him through
And l thanked him for it, too.
Now the daisies are awake.
And the buds begin to break;
Now the ivy starts TO creep
And the roses from their sleep
Stir themselves. and likewise |
Stretch beneath the patch of sky,
And go forth TO find once more
Life as radiant as before:
Out with birds and shrubs and trees,
l can live my reverieS.
Winter hedged me in with care.
Kept me from the pathways fair.
Wore me down with burdens grim.
Like the elm trees branch arid limb
Meeting every wind that blows
/ was naked to my woes.
Now the robins sing once more,
l can wander from my door.
And with all earth'S loveliest
Find day of perfect rest.

SERBIAN PRISONERS
FLOCCED TO DEATH;
WOMEN NOT SPARED
British Officers Make Revolving
Charges Against Bulgarian.
Camp Chiefs.

London, Jan. S-Evidence has been
received from British officers who have
been prisoners of war in Bulgaria or
cruel treatment and tortures which they
saw the Bulgarians inflict upon Serbian
prisoners and interned civilians, Reuters
limited learns.
The evidence shows that the civilians
we're half dead from exhaustion, were
clothed in rags ard were almost bare
footed when they arrived in Bulgaria
The interned civilians used to visit the
British prison camp in order to collect
vegetable peelings to cat.
Buried Without cofflns.
Most Of the officers witnessed the
brutal flogging Of Serbian prisoners.
They particularly mentioned the com
andant Ivan Nikolov, who himself
ordered the floggings and personally
struck prisoners as they lay on the
ground Women were flogged until their
backs were lacerated. In several cases
the victims died from tie treatment
they received.
The British officers report that they
rrotested, but that the Bulgarians re-
plied that the victims were subjected to
srch treatment because they were
Serbians.
The mortality among the Serbians was
so great that they were buried without
coffins and with no religious services.
The treatment spoken of, it is de-
ciared. was continued even after the
signing Of the Bulgarian armistiee.

Conference to Deal With

WILSON AND PREM|ERs
WILL MEET THIS WEEK

Paris, Jan S.x-Many important qnes-

program for the peace conference which
have been in process of solution, prob
ably will soon be adjusted 'as a result
Of President Wilson's return to Paris.
The president now has personal knowl-
edge of the views of some of the pre-
miers on these subjects and he has sup
plemented it by observations during his
trip to Italy.
The president. during his trip to Eng
land and Italy, kept in close touch with
the members of the European peace dele
CATION in Paris, and it is evident from the
expressions of officials that the settle
ment Of various matters will progress
more rapidly from now on.
Representation Big Question.
The impending informal meetings be-
tween President Wilson and the entente
premiers will deal with subjects of
fundamental Importance. 1t will be Tor
these officials to arrange the program
which will govern the peace congress
itself, subject to approval when all the
delegates formally gather. The japanese
delegates already here have been partici-
mating in some phases of the discussions
between the groups. 1t is assumed that
they have been consulted in the prepa-
ration of the program and that they
have outlined the treatment of certain
issues in which they are particularly
interested.
Tt has been agreed that such matters
to be considered at the meeting OF Pres
ident Wilson and the premiers will be the
Representation to be accorded to powers
seeking participation in the peace con-
gress. =
league of nations, which is regarded as
the foundation under which must be
erected the whole structure of perman.
ent peace treaty and the adjustment OF
boundaries to meet conditions after the
war.
The next subject to engage attention,
as next in Importance is the neutrallza-
ton of international waterways. having
especially. in mind the Dardanelles and
perhaps the Scheldt and the Danube lit
toral.
It's "Use Of Seas" Now.
Probably next among the foremost sub
jects to receive attention will be use
of the high seas" 1t may be significant
that this phase now is being adopted
instead of the older freedom of the
seas" but it is not yet possible to ascer-
tain in what the distinction is to consist.
Vance Mccormick. chairman Of the
war trade board and other American
experts are now on their way to Paris
and they will be called in consultation
when the subjects on which they have
specialized are br0t into the delIbera-
