i CHILL BORA BLASTS HANDICAP CROATIA Proposed Peasant Congress ¥ Interests Immigrants Who Came to United States. “A brief cable item concerhing a propsed peasant's congress in Croatia may seem remote to many Americans, but it is home news for some hun- dreds of thousands of Croatians and 2 their kin in the United States,” says { IR [l - a bulletin from the Washington head- quarters of the National Geographie Soclety. “Before the world war the emi- gration stream from Croatia flowed from Fiume and Trieste as con- stantly as the water trickles through and under the limestone plateau of the Karst region, a noteworthy phy- sical feature of Croatia. It is be- cause parts of Croatia are barren of oil that the indigenous human prod- uct had to transplant itself to sub- sist. Bora Symbolizes History. “Another physical feature of Croa- tia, the bora, a violent northeast wind that sweeps down the Adriatic coast.from the back country plateau, seems symbolical of the country’s his- tory. It has been said_that Croatia was to Hungary what Hungary was to the fallen dual empire. For cen- turies Croatia strugzled to throw off t yoke of the Magyar domination. ‘One should not conclude that Cro- atia_is barren or deso northwest is the majestic range which ives to the region the nickname of ‘Croatian Switzerland” The plum brandy ‘Slwowitz' betokens the luxu- riant ‘orchards of Slavonia. For the full title of the present component part of Jugoslavia which formerly wis a crown land of Hungary is Croatia and Slavonia, having an area twice that of Massachusetts and two- thirds the popalation of the Bay state. “Thouxh Croatia and Slavonia is rich in acricultural land and has vine- pastures and forests, lack of as handicapped commerce and industry. Indeed. its southwest, rich in forests and grazing land and ao- cessible to the sea, is accounted one of the least developed regions, eco- nomically, in Europe. The ochilling blasts of the bora have something to do with the sparse population and backwnrdness of this region. Wine Cheaper Than Water. “Wine is cheaper than water in Zome sections. A curious by-product of the vineyards is the ‘grape cure' at Zombor, a sanitarium where the chief prescription is a stipulated ration of the variety of grapes held to be bene- ficial for the ailment under treatment. “Croatia’s chief city, center of her politics and culture, is Zagreb, for- merly known better by its German mname, Agram. Here is a modern, busy city, with art collections, a university, parks and proportionately as many statues, it would seem, as Washing- ton. For a thousand persons to gather here in a week en route for a port to set sail for America was no uncommon event in pre-war times. Each Town Has Costume “The rural regions of Croatia, with an almost patriarchal or family order of Mfe, naturally betrays cus- toms and costumes of remote genera- tions. As ome writer to the National Geographic Society put it: “‘In Creatia, every village and hamlet has its particular costume. So one who knows the countrysides can tell at once the zirl from Sissek from the vineyard lassie of Zombor, and she can tell you who has come from Ogulin, where the moss grows § TfiE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Hadley, Who Retires After 22 Years’ Service, Lauds His Succesgor. NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 31— President Arthur T. Hadley, who will retire as president of Yale University after twenty-two years in that office, today took formal leave of the alumni body. This was Alumnl day, and the morning gathering in Battel chapel was the largest in many years President Hadley sald: “We come back, representatives of four administrations, to greet the dawn of a fifth. Tomorrow we shall acclaim as president James Rowland Angell, the man whose knowledge and vision have marked him out as the leader under whom Yale may face with confidence the problems which confront her, and look forward to a future which shall mean even more than her past to us and to the world." He said the year 1919-20 had been a bad one for the colleges of the coun- try, adding that the “attempted con- trol of student conduct by the War Department in the autumn of 1918 was not well planned and was re- sponsible for a great deal of demora- lization. Fortunately the recovery has been prompt—more prompt at Yale than at most colleges or communi- ties.” CAMP EUSTIS BILL BLOCKED. Action by the House on a bill to re- peal legislation authorizing the aban- donment of Camp Eustis, Virginia, was blocked yesterday by Representa- tive Stafford, republican, Wisconsin, who objected to consideration of the measure.

Secretary Hughes Asks Brief in Mexican Case. Secretary Hughes assured the group of American oil operators who pro- tested to him yesterday against the recent increase in taxes on petroleum exported from Mexico that he would give the subject careful consideration. He asked them to submit for his con- sideration their assertions and their arguments in the form of a brief. He told them the brief would be studied carefully, and was said to have added that if the department should consider it necessary, action would be taken.
