The Problem of Fiume
"a Geographic in The Review.)

Geographic conditions have made Fiume
situated at the head of sea which brings CHEAP
water transportation into the very heart OF Eu'
rope and opposite the nalrowest part OF the
mountain barrier. the inevitable economic out
let for all the northern portion OF the Balkan
peninsula.
The power which holds Fiume holds the
life OF whole nation at its mercy.
But it is not only Jugoslaya which has a
vital interest in the fate of Fume. whole
vast hinterland to the north and east, including
Austria and Hungary, and to. some extent
Czechoslovakia and parts OF the newly en-
larged Rumania, finds in this port most inn
portant outlet to the sea. And all the outside
world which desires to trade, with central and
southeastern Europe via the Mediterranean
route is vitally concerned in the solution OF
the Fiume dispute If the frontier between
Italy and Jugoslava be drawn as described
in the presidents famous public statement OF
last April, the two great Adfiatic ports are as
Italian port, Trieste, could then supply the him
terland (Austria, Southern Germany, Czecho-
slovakia, Hungary by line of rail which does
not have to cross the territory of Jugoslavia;
and the Jugoslav port, Fiume could supply
that same great hinterland by a line of fail
which does not touch on Italian territory. In
other words there would be absolute freedom
of commerce resulting naturally from choice
or ports served by a choice of routes, both
ports and routes being secure from possible in
reference or the annoying restrictions OF a
jealous neighbor It would be to the interest
of each country to improve its port and railway
facilities, to establish the most convenient train
service, and to charge the lowest tariffs COM
patible with reasonable profit, in order to at
tract to its port the largest possible volume Of
business Not only Europe. but all of the
world would profit enormously from such an
equitable distribution OF economic advantages.
Conversely, not only Europe, but all the world,
must suffer enormously if the Adriatic settle
ment leaves both these ports in the hands Of a
single power, or establishes conditions which
must ultimately result in such one-power con-
troll or gives to single power the control of
both railways leading northward from the two
ports. .

Population SUinQs East

Unscientific observers may be inclined to
fix center of population of the United States
at Forty-second street and Broadway on Satur-
day night or at Broad and Chestnut streets on
a parade day or at a trolley entrance door in the
rush hour.
But the census experts are not fooled by the
superficial. They have the facts, the latest
accumulation/of which is said to forecast that
our population radiates, so to speak, from a
point in Indiana.
This does not mean that the state of Charles
Warren Fairbanks Thomas R. Marshall, James
Whtcomb Riley and Booth Harrington is con-
gested with humanity, celebrated or otherwise.
The little game which the satisticians play every
10 years is based on hypothesis that every in
dvidual in the nation has the same weight and
that the center of population is the point about
which American continental territory, conceived
as plane balances perfectly.
In 1870 this gravity mark was fixed in Mary
land, % miles east of Baltimore Progression
westward was steady. at the rate of about five
miles a year, until spot near Bloomington,
Ind, was attained in 1910. An eastward swing is
now said to be disccrnble for the first time in
our records.
Whether this is the result of the war in
dustries on the Atlantic seaboard, or Of any
check in western development, due to immigra-
ton conditions or to other consequences of the
general conflict is yet to be explained.
In any event the census bureau has nov
city to exploit and mild sensation to examine,
even if the public does remain comparatively
calm.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

A Dangerous Assumption.

The president is not constitutionally direct
representative of the people, although chosen
by the act Of electors instructed by the peoples
vote. When an attempt was made in 1884 to
magnify the presidential office Daniel Webster
said.
"The Constitution denominates the
President simply the President Of the
United States; It defines his powers and
duties and imposes limits and restraints on
on this official character. thus cautiously
created, limited and defined, he is to ensfaft
another and very imposing character.
viz. the character OF the direct representa-
tive Of the American peopiei hold this,
cir. to Be mere assumption and dangerous
assumption
The peace conference delegates, who ae-
eepted Mr.. Wilson's assumption Of the eharae-
ter of direct representative Of the American
people, in view of events since will incline to
Webster's sound conclusion.
Apropos of the presidents foreign policies
and attempts to overthrow all restraints on his
authority are the following remarks by the
commander of the Grand Army OF the Republia
in New York.
Both Washington and Lincoln were
wise above all others Of their day and gen.
Grafton, and to each, as far as human wis .
dom can determine, we. are indebted for our
national existence today.
The principles for which they con-
tended are never free from assault.
They are being assailed in these, days

Self-Determination Success

While less dramatic than the return of AL
saee-Lorraine to France and exciting less pop
uiar interest than the restoration of independ-
ence to several Central European nations upon
the breakup of the empires, the return Of the
Province OF Schleswig TO Denmark as a. result
of the recent plebiscite is no less vindication
Of the presidents principle of self-determina-
ton for peoples.
Schleswig was stolen by Prussia from DEN
mark in 1854. The motive was the same that
prompted Prussia to acquire every other
province it could-simply self-aggrandizement
With characteristic Prussiaa methods the at
tempt was made to Germanize the Danish
people, but the failure in the northern zone,
which has just voted, is emphasized by the fact
that the present generation voted at the ratio OF
three to one to return to Danish sovereignty.
The inability of the Germans to assmatc
other peoples is shown in this vote, which rights
an old wrong.
Perhaps the application Of this principle OF
self-determination Of peoples cannot be made
in some other states in Europe owing to the
mixture of the population inhabiting them. aut
il is the only principle upon which Europe is
going to secure lasting peSce.-Houston Post.

Early Birds.

BY ADELIA BELLE BEARD.
There are always wideawake boys
and girls who see the first robin as
early as the last week in February,
but in our northern states this is no.,
apt to happen and there is some
doubt about a February robin hav-
ing just arrived because he may
have been here all winter. You
never can tell.
A few robins do stay with US
through the winter and they will
show themselves the first, warm,
sunny day though snow may be on
the ground. But they surely begin
to come up from the south the first
weeks in March.
The bluezirds come, too, close in
the wake of the robins and are
sometimes given cold welcome by
a March snowstorm and wintry
winds. 1t is we'll to put out food
for them, for they often starve be-
cause everything is snow and ice
bound and they can find nothing to
eat.
After the bluebird the bronzed
grackle makes his appearance and
in the south the purple grackle. The
purple grackles are found in some
places in the north, too. They are
plentiful on Long Island and appear
