to disband her entire army The nations which had
been TO great trouble terrific loss to stop

Later the conference agreed to permit her TO have
a standing army of $4,000 men for her own defence

months of frantic appeals has been able to Sc

Bulgaria knows the futility O war. Her men are
tired Of fighting Her women want husbands, not

Most significant is his endorsement of the cooper

There IS always question whether it is love

The fixing OF definite restrictions against

course has been a favorite method of many men to
rroject their egotism beyond the Of their own
lives.
such provisions are generally a confession Of
sense Of failure. Tor who has felt that he
