Peter ConsuIts His Big Cousin
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Who fears to ask what others know.
Will find the way to knowledge slow.
Peter Rabbit.
Peter Rabbit isn't one of that kind.
He learned long ago that no one per-
son knows everything or can find out
for himself all about any one thing.
He learned that knowledge is the total
of many truths discovered by many
people So Peter doesn't hesitate to
ask questions. He doesn't even mind
being laughed at for asking questions
when there is something he wants to
know and cannot find out for himself
So when Peter discovered that ap-
parently Buster Bear, asleep in his
den under the great windfalt deep IN
the Green Forest, was wearing
brown coat instead of the black coat
Peter always had seen him in he at
once wanted to know about 1t. He
never had heard that Buster wore
different colored coat in winter, out
he was wise enough to know that
the fact that he never had heard OF
it was no reason why it shouldn't be.
There were others who were better
acquainted with Buster and his habits
and one of these might know II BUS
ter was in the habit of changing MS
coat
Peter took one more good look to be
sure his eyes had not played him trick
That coat still looked brown. Then
Peter softly crept away to the edge OF
the great Windfall. where he felt per
fectly safe, and there he spent the
rest of the day, sleeping much of the
time and when he wasn't asleep Won
dering about Buster Bear. He wouldn't
leave that shelter until after Jolly,
round, red Mr.. Sun had gone to bed
behind the Purple Hills, for not until
then would he feel safe from Terror
the Goshawk.
Mistress Moon came up almost as
soon as Mr.. Sun had disappeared. Then
Peter hoped out from the great wind
fall and almost at once he saw the
one person he most wanted to see. 1t
was his big cousin, Jumper the Hare.
Jumper was, of course, wearing his
snowy white winter coat. In the
spring he would change it for brown
coat. Having this habit of changing
his coat he would be likely to know
about others with the same habit. Be-
sides, he lived in the Green Forest.
"Oh, Jumper, you are just the one
want to see!" cried Peter, hopping to-
Hello. Peter! What business have
YOU way over here in the Green For
est?" exclaimed Jumper the Hare.
You ought to be at home in the dear
Old Briar-patch where you belong"
Peter paid no attention to this.

PAINTS RUSSIA'S PLIGHT
AFTER SIX YEARS OF WAR
James r. Lake, in Letter to Wash
ington Y. M. C. A. Secretary, De-
scribes Sufferings of People.

James Richards Lake. representing
the American Baltic and Russian Inn
port Company. at Riga. Russia, for
merly captain in the United States
Army. in a letter to William Knowles
Cooper. general secretary of the
Washington Y. NJ. c. A, gives de-
scription of conditions which now
confront the Russian people. The
letter received by MIR. Cooper reads, lii
part:
through six years of the hardest time
that any nation has ever been called
upon to endure, not only through
the effects of the great war. but also
on account of bolsheVism and COM
munism We must not forget that al
people of Russia are not bolsheviks or
communists In fact, the unorganiZed
majority of Russia is controlled by an
organized minority of bolsheviks and
communists numbering from Zeo'V""
to 100000 people.
The majority of the people have
suffered terribly at the hands of these
fanatics When the Young Men :
Christian Association branch started
mn here it was looked upon with sus-
Dicion. as these people never had any
help of any kind, and they always
look at any help as something with
the string attached to it, something
to he paid for in some way later on.
but thanks to the hard work or the
men YOU have here. the Young Mems
Christian Association has become s"
popular that the present organization
cannot commence to handle one-tenth
of this work.
IF the people of the United States
could only realize the tremendously
good work that the Young Mems
Christian Association is doing here,
am sure that they would back this
work in a substantial and hearty
manner"

Politicians Want Union With

ian Dislike.

BELGRADE, Serbia. February 26.--
The Balkans belong to US" Is the
slogan of the Jugoslavs. BY "us"
they mean the southern Slavs from
Koritsa to Macedonia and from the
Adriatic to the Black sea. To make
this slogan come true. Bulgaria must
be brought within the Jugoslav king
dom. ard every move of the JugoslavS
is directed toward the final union of
all the Slavs.
However, such a union cannot oc-
cur today or tomorrow because the
Serbians still have lively recollec-
ton of the behavior of the Bulgarian
soldiers at the time of the occupation
The Serbs charge the BulgarianS
with killing or torturing men. wom-
en-. children and priests, and with de-
porting and interning thousands of
civilians under terrible conditions of
hunger and privation. The home of
war is in the Balkans, and here they
give no quarter. The political lead
ers here. with the ideal of "A greater
Jugoslavia in mind. have already pro-
posed union with Bulgaria. it is be-
lieved But if the politicians are
willing. the people are not yet ready
to forgive.
Serb leaders maintain that the
union is bound to come. Then JuGo-
Slavia will have an area greater than
that of Italy. will touch two seas and
have a population of 20,000,O00. The
Balkans then will belong to the Jugo-
Slavs Perhaps such a federation
would bring order out of half a CEN
tury of chaos and permit the devel-
opment of the wonderful natural
riches in the Balkan peninsula.

new CUT ON PENNSY.

PHILADELPHIA. February 26.-lt
is learned at the general offices of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company here
that the company is considering a
further curtailment in working forces
and operating expenses. to become et-
fective in March. Last December the
company made a 10 per cent cut in eN-
penses, followed by another 10 in Jan =
nary. These two cuts. it was said at
the company's offices, have not pro-
duced the necessary reductions 10
meet the reduced earnings. The eX-
tent of the next cut has not yet been
determined. 1t will affect. more or
less it WAS learned, the entire system.
