Two Minutes of

IT'S funny" he said after some
moments. about the shirkcr. The
shirker docs all he can 70 keep out Of
work and to discourage others from
working. Everything is too much for
him. He is in perpetual state OF de-
pressed fatigue. nervous irritability
from the idea that he may have to exert
himself. and imminent collapse at the
thought that he may have to so out to
his way. His attitude reminds me Of
conversation that took place between
two colored men In town where ] used
to live. You may have heard the story.
These two men met on the street
one day and one of them said TO the
other:
Sam. do you know. am pcst"rel

money all the time. It's dollar today,
and two dollars tomorrow and two
dollars and q hale the next day. She

do something that is perhaps jus, the
least bit unexpected. un"omforta bl" or
out Of his regular routine, why it just
posters the life out Of him. It's work,
work all the time, nothing but work.
And then, after it n all over. if you
check up and find out just how much

World Travels.

LONDON. Aug. 19.-In the famous
oak paneled banqueting hall at 10
Downing street the Prince of Wales
recently made his first public speech
since he returned from his eight
months tour in the Far East.
He was entertained at dinner by
the prime minister. the seventy
guests invited to meet him includ-
ing cabinet minister's, representa-
tives Of the overseas dominions. and
departmental under secretaries.
All the guests sat at a single horse
shoe shaped table.
The princes reply to the prime
minister's speech OF welcome was
devoted largely to India. He saI0
he left that country an optimist.
although the new era there calls
as much as ever before for the ge-
MUS of British officers and officials.
The Prince of Wales replied In
the following terms:
Mr.. Prime Minister: l sincerely

dressed to me this evening. and 1

Three Bulgaro.Macedonian revolu-

the famous Bulgarian Gen. Proto-

banilan border.
In the last few weeks the out
RACES have become progressively
more numerous. so that the three
Balkan countries interested in
Macedonia-namely Jugo-Slavia,
Greece and Rumania-have sent a
joint ultimatum to Bulgaria, in
which they demand that the Bul-

against these demands. but shows
willingness to Investigate the mat
ter through a joint Serbo- Bulgarian
commission.
Against charges of completely
with bandits the Bulgarian govern
ment protests energetically. and
contends that a more effective

sion of Bulgarian bands into Serb
ian and Greek territory Is made
impossible through the disarma-
ment of Bulgaria. which possesses
no more than 10000 soldiers and
police. The Bulgarian government
further asserts that most of the
comitadjis are Jugo-Slav and Greek
subjects, and appeals against occu-
patton of Bulgarian territory. No
government can tolerate armed for
eign occupation in order to effect
search for reyolutionaries. argues
the Bulgarian premier. But as Bull
garia Is defenseless against the
powerfully equipped combination of
Jugo-Slavia, Rumania and Greece

sky, has appealed for the help and
