sacrifice Guns will boom the waters and rifles will crack
the cemeteries holiday will be declared and to
many it will be but merry making time.
But the echoes of the Great War have not yet died
the horrors escaped had devoted country alb
sorbed by the Hunnish dynasty still impressed
bran the of the boys who crossed and died
Flanders Field still deep and clearhis Decoration Day
should have closer and should have meant something
more to us than time for hilality and pleasure
Some sleeping where the Poppies boom posi-

HERE'S WOMAN WHO

She Appeals to Court of League
 Of Nations
Geneva, April 25.--"The man with

Geneva, April e5.--"The man with out a country" or in this case woman, actually has come before the league of nations.
 A woman whose property in France was sequestrated during the war ap- pealed to the world court at The Hague, stating that France labels her as German, but that Germany refuses to recognize her as a national. The world court passed the problem oi the woman's recourse to justice up to the league.
 Conditions arising from the war probably have placed many persons in this same position, so that they are debarred from all existing legal tribu- nas.
 The legal lights of the league admit there is involved in such cases de- nial Of justice. The solution appears to be the elaboration of an interna. tional convention by which states sur render existing sovereign rights of de. cidng for themselves the conditions under which their nationality Is auto matcally or may voluntarily be ac- qnired or lost. The question raised bS tho German woman does not lie with in the competency of the league cove nant, and il seems plan, say the leea experts. that the league only can act through the initiative Of a state.

Balkan Armaments Listed
 By Bulgarian Newspaper

Sofia, April 25.--The charge that Bulgaria is an armed menace to her neighbofs, made recently in series of articles in an Athcnian newspaper, has been taken ID by la Bulgarie, the official organ Of the Bulgarian foreign office, in an article which siyes some interesting figures regard ing Balkan armaments.
 The newspaper says that after her defeat Bulgaria turned over to the allied authorities 2,4J1 guns, 5000 quicknrers, 15U.00O rifles, and 3O0,- Uou,p0O cartridges. It then gives the armed strength of the various Balkan countries as follows:
 Bulgaria, A infantry companies, 2i batteries, 12 tquadrons of cavalry, 24 quicknring companies, engineering companies.
 Greece, l26 infantry companies, log batteries, 12 squadrons Of cavalry, 1a eL gineering companies, 126 quickfr- ing companies. t
 Serbia, 150 infantry companies, 1Si batteries, 65 squadrons of cavalry. i50 auickfring companies, 1G engineering companies.
 La Bulgarie fails to point out the fact that not even a toy pistol can be brought into Bulgaria without the consent Of a vigilant iitcrallied mili- tary commission of control.
