 The eight-hour working day, so conn mon in the United States, is unknown in the rural districts of the Balkans. The peasant works from sunrise until after dark. He is so bent and weather scared that he looks twice his age after %. In some cases he belongs to mo- madic tribes and leads an existence un- known in the country districts of Ame- pica. At night one often passes whole wagon loads of them on the road going from town to town. Every man Is asleep on top of his load, and is not disturbed by thoughts of burglars or highwaymen.
 The peasant removes his hat to every- one better dressed than himself and gets his ox-cart off the road for every auto mobile that passes. He is simple, hon. est, home loving peron with much homely virtue. The peasant women have enormous families of children, about hair of whom ever survive the rigors of child life in the extreme conditions that pre- vail in the Balkans.
 The cottages of the peasants are crude structures with matched roofs and mud walls. But they contrive to adorn them with attractive exteriors and take great pains to produce the utmost decorative effect This establishment frequently takes the form of a porch with wall background bearing a border design

BALKANS A MYSTERY
Visitors Cannot Understand How the
 Peasants Survive on Food
By Associated Press


 Belgrade, Serbia, September 15.-To the American visitor, accustomed to the ordinary comforts of life, it is constant source of wonderment how the peasants and poor of the Balkans are able to ex- ist on the meagre food they have. Corn bread of poor quality supplemented with goats cheese or ordinary leek or onions, forms the diet of large part of the vll- lage population. This slender regimen produces robust bodies, strong muscles and rosy cheeks. The old adage that bread is the staff of life finds is best proof here.
 On the whole. the poor of the Balkan countries have an unusually hard lot in life. Their poverty Is practically per ranent. Their plight seems to excite little sympathy from those who are well off. There is a calioused indifference to the sufferings of the poor which strikes an American as almost heart- less. In few. if any, of the Balkan states. does the government make any provision for the care of the poor. This work in the past has been left largely to foreign relief agencies and private

J. P. Morgan & Co. will lose no time
providing the firm and many other
business men in the Wall Street section
with sufficient Office space even though
building costs a"e at the peak. They
plan to replace the Mills Building after
they get possession of it, AS a first

architects, Trowbridge & Livingston.

the site of the old ten-story red brick

Because of congestion in their build
ing and inability to obtain more space
IN satisfactory locations, the banking
firm found it necessary several months
ago to acquire the Mills property by
lease and to tell the bankers. brokers'
and lawyers in the old building thev
would have to find quarters elsewhere
until new structure could be put up.
The Mills Building tanks the Morgan
Building on two sides.
Trowbridge & Livingston estimate
the cost of the new structure at $4,000
600. Under the zoning law it will have
TO be erected with setbacks above the
twentieth story. Members Of the bank
ing firm said last night their plans do
not contemplate the addition of any
more stories to the banking house.

Bishop Of Detroit
Den0unces League
Says 1t Is Only an Anglo-
american Alliance TO
PreserUe British Empire

In a statement made public yester-
day by the Right Rev Michael J. Gal
lagher, Bishop Of Detroit, and newly
elected national president of the
Friends Of Irish Freedom, the Michigan
preate declares the League Of Nations
covenant to be an Anglo-Amcrican al
liance-with France, Italy and Japan
added-and its chief purpose, he says,
is the preservation OF the territorial
integrity of the British Empire as
increased by the late war.
Asserting that the Irish race con-
vcntion in Philadelphia in February
1919, was the first body in America
to warn the people Of the perils for
the United States in the League of
Nations, and that the fight must be
kept up until the proposed league is
set aside, the Bishop issues this chal-
lenge to Great Britain's Premier:
Lloyd George must be taught that
he cannot buy the votes of Irish
Americans by conceding dominion home
rule or any other 'concession,' big or
little, to Ireland. We are citizens of
the United States who stand for the
honor and interests of this Republic
above and before all other mundane
things, and we are irrevocably opposed
to having the blood and treasure of the
American people used to keep in sub
lection to England the hundreds Of
millions of the human race who are
equally entitled to freedom with US"

Spa Coal Agreement
Ratified by Commons
Lloyd George, Defending Plan.
SAYS Germans Are Ill Fed
and Must BE Helped

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Thc vote for an
advance OF f5,O0o,o00 to Germany in
connection with the Spa coal agree
ment came up tonight in the House of
Commons. 1t was not seriously chal-
lenged and was agreed to without re-
vision.
Labor members welcomed in the
proposition what they characterized q
sensible change in the government
policy toward Germany and practical
revision Of the unworkable Versailles
treaty"
In the course of his speech in de-
fense of the plan, Premier Lloyd
George said the proposal for procuring
coal was much better than sending a
large costly army for it. He argued
that Germany must pay her debts either
IN gold or goods. She had no gold, he
declared, but coal was the equivalent
of gold, or even more valuable.
"However,' added the Premier, Ger
many is unable to produce sufficient
coal while her population is unfit ana
ill-fed. Hence she must be helped
There is no doubt about the condi-
tion Of Germany. We have impartia
representatives. there who report the
people are not receiving within so or
10 per cent of the food they consumed
before the war"

Hylan To-day Will Review
Flivver Fleet of CITY
Event Will Open New Taxi Ser
vice for Officials Under
Supervision Of Whalen

A flivvery fleet Of taxicabs purchased
by the Department Of Plant and Struc-
lures, to provide automobile service
for city officials, will pass in review
this morning before Mayor Hylan at
the City Hall and will then go into
service. The new taxi service will be
supervised by Commissioner Grover A.
Whalen, who is expected to ride at the
head of the procession.
These taxcabs will take the place Of
cars hitherto assigned to city officials.
The municipal taxi stand viii be locat-
ed at the north end of the Municipal
Building, in charge of dispatcher,
who will receive calls from those au-
thorizcd to requisition service, assign
cars and check their time. Each taxi,
having given the service required, will
return to the stand and fall in line
for the next call, just as in a private
taxicab business.
Rules for the regulation Of the serv-
ice have been issued by Commissioner
Whalcn. These rules require the
strctest observance of speed and traf-
ic regulations and card reports as to
mileage, number Of passengers, stops
and locations visited. There will be
no more commi sSioners with big black
cigars in their mouths riding about the
city in touring cars. The service is
being introduced, according to Commits
sioncr Whalen, to provide increased
service at less cost, and it is expected
it will show a considerable net saving.
