TO SEIZE DUKES IDLE LANDS
Spanish Peasants Say Luna's Anees-

Fertile Soil.

Huesca, Spain.-The provincial gov
ernor has been informed by delega'
ton representing local peasants that
they intend to seize the lands now
held by the duke of Luna, contending
that he is wrongfully in possession Of
them.
The delegates argued that the dukes
ancestors stole the lands, which he
now refuses them permission to Gull
tivate. They declared that the dukes
estate In the neighborhooc constituted
25,OOO acres Of fertile soil. the cult
walton of which would furnish liveli-
hood to several thousand persons, who.
not being allowed to cultivate the
land, were compelled to emigrate.
The governor, while recommending
prudence on the part Of the peasants
promised to remain neutral in the dis
pute.

LOT OF BALKAN
POOR UNHAPPY
Peasants Work From Dawn to
Dark and Have Little to Eat
Except Corn Bread.
HALF OF CHILDREN SURVIVE
Homes Are Made Attractive on the
Outside, Although They Are Bare
of Comforts-Peasants Are
Simple and Honest

Belgrade, Serbia.-To the American
visitor accustomed to the ordinary
comforts Of life it is a constant source
Of wonder how the peasants and poor
OF the Balkans can live on the meager
food they have. Poor cornbread, sup
plemented by goats cheese or ordinary
leek or onions, forms the diet of a
This slender regime produces robust
bodies, strong muscles and rosy cheeks.
The adage that bread is the stan Of
life finds Its best proof here.
On the whole, the poor Of the Bal
kan countries have an unusually hard
lot in life. Their poverty is practically
permanent. Their plight seems to e1-
cite little sympathy from those who
are well off. There is cGlloused In
difference to the sufferings of the poor
which strikes an American as almost
heartless. In few if any of the Bal
kan states does the government make
any provision for care of the poor.
This work in the past has been left
largely to foreign relief agencies and
private charitable organizations.
Eight Hour Day Unknown.
The eight-hour working day so COM
mon in the United States is unknown
in the Balkan rural districts. The
peasant works from sunrise until after
dark. He is so bent and weather
beaten that he looks twice his age aft
er thirty. Ia some cases he belongs
to one of the nomadic tribes and leads
an existence unknown in the country
districts of America. At night one
often passes whole wagon loads of
them on the road going from town to
town. Every man is asleep on his
load, and is not disturbed by thoughts
of burglars or highwaymen.
The peasant removes his hat to
everyone better dressed than himself
and gets his Ox-cart off the road for
every automobile. He is simple,
honest, home-loving person with
much homely virtue. The peasant
women have enormous families Of
children, only about half Of whom
survive the rigors of child-life in the
extreme conditions that prevail In the
Balkans.
Cottages Are Crude.
The peasants cottages 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 en-
Enlistment frequently takes the form
of a porch with a small background
bearing a border design whose con-
trasting colors and composition sug-
gest the patterns used by the Nava-
jos of the American Southwest In |
blankets and carpets.
But while the exterior of the home |
is attractive, peep into the lnte-
rior shows the economic stress IN |
der which these people live. There |
is seldom any kind of food except |
coarse cornmeal. The cooking uten-
sils are limited to a few homemade
pewter pots. The furniture consists
of table and a few rudely con-
structed benches. The beds usually |
are upon the floor or upon rough
hewn boards.

A ROMANCE OF
WAR TIME

THROUGHOUT the spring of 1918
L Arthur Draper said many pretty
things to Madeleine Letrone. He hae
been wounded in the fighting before
Scissors, and was convalescing In 6
little town far behind the lines. He
was half way between 25 and 80, blue
eyed, straight featured and pleasant
in talk-he had picked up French bet
ter than most of the soldiers-and
half the girls of the town had cast
dangerous eyes upon his pathetic
crutches and his lieutenant bars, es-
pecially Madeleine Letrone. She was
brown-eyed and pretty and of an af-
fectionate, fiery disposition. 1t was
not long before case of love had
grown up between Arthur Draper and
Madeleine Letrone, and in its first
words she had told him that she was
married.
Lieutenant Draper did not confide
that back in the states he had wife
and three children.
"Ah, if I only were free and we
could marry" she said dozen times.
eyes, it is a pity that you are al
ready married." he responded unfail-
ingly.
It was pleasant to be single there
away in France, after half dozen
years of married restraint back IN
his humdrum, respectable home town,
Arthur Draper said to himself. 1t
was a lark, with death to end it, may
be; lark to be employed with all lib
erty and gayety possible; and where
can married man with three children
find more liberty and gayety than a
return for a spell to singleblessed-
ness? Every married man will IN
derstand. He had lived domestic
life most correct and decorous this
merry young lieutenant in the war.
Portland, Ore, is no Latin quarter
of Paris, no gay careless town, where
the responsibilities are taken lightly.
And there was Draper pere. Henry
Giles Draper, a kind but firm father
who was a farmer and who was the
very breath of old-fashioned honor
and chivalry and a stern believer IN
honest dealing with every one-es
pecially women. But it was wartime
In France, and Arthur Draper found
it wild joy to play the single man
once more.
When summer came Lieutenant
Draper was recovered and back IN tn
trenches with his company. There
was hard fighting, but he was not
struck. After couple of months he
got an extended leave and hurried
back to see Madeleine Letrone.
One night as they strolled across
the fields she said:
"Would it not be beautiful if yon
could marry me and | could go back
to America with you? There are SO
many French girls who will follow
American husbands or frances to your
great country. How | wish | were
one of them"
ayes, it is too bad that you are
married." he replied. ;,
"No, 1 will not give you up" She
flung her arms around him: 81 will
follow you to America and become
your wife"
He looked worried and then anus
ed. These French women say mad

wifely gesture.
