As a result, Mr. Sullivan’s four men put in 98 the first day, 100 the second and 105 the third, against 65 as the best Mr. Doyle’s six could do in a day; but Mr. Doyle explains the matter by say- ing: “Well, you have got an Irish gang, and an Irishman can’t be beat on the railroad.” Dennis says his men didn’t half try.

THE BALKAN BUNDLE OF CONTRADICTIONS, Servia Southeastern Europe’s Fire- brand the Subject of a Sympathetic Study. (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington,” D. C.,, May 7.—Servia, firebrand of Southeastern Europe, the little Balkan bundle of contradictions whose people are farmers but subtle in diplomacy, whose temper is luxuri- ous but whose capital is spare, whose patriotism is inordinate but whose na- tional existence is still in its swaddling clothes, whose ambition for territorial expansion is passionate but whose in- @ustry is not yet born; this Servia, re- markably interesting, intense and con- tradictory, is the subject of a sympa- thetic study prepared by William Joseph Showalter for the National Geographic Society, Mr. Showalter surveys the historic, social and economic development of with Servia, dealing understandingl; the fascinating romance of their “Great Servia” aspirations. That there is no story more filled with thrilling intrigue, plot and counterplot than that which tells of the efforts of the Servians through the last generation toward the realization of “Great Servia,” is point- ed out in the study, wherein the cur- rents and cross-currents of Russian, British, German, Austrian and Balkan states’ diplomacy—whose confused and bitterly conflicting objects have made Balkan politics wild, stormy and un- certain—are accurately sketched in their essential features. Of Servia's present interest, of this country’s sud- den from obscurity full into are at least 20% lected leaves. 3rd to May 8th is Tea Week WARRIOR HEAD...... 1 Legs of LAMB Ib. 15¢ California Apricots, HUNT'S Califoraia &zzee Peaches, :}’IB ROAST BEEF Fresh “Little Pig” SHOULDERS ...

Mayhap it has changed the whole course of human history. “Some years ago it was said of the Balkan Peninsula that it was the ‘pow der-box’ of Europe, and the events of last summer proved the statement true; and then someone a little later observed that if the Balkan Peninsula were the ‘powder-box,’ Servia was the ‘percussion cap.’ “How truly he spoke was not real- ized at the time, even by the speaker; for while men will ever disagree as to the deep-seated causes that led to the present great war, all the world admits that the bomb-throwing at Serajevo was the ‘percussion cap’ that detonated the terrific forces behind the diplomacy of Europe, ‘As noted at the outset, one of the most interesting things about Servia is its smallness. That such a small nation could bring on the mightiest confilict that the world has seen since man first made war upon his fellow- man seems strange. Yet with all its smallness, it is only in the very recent past that it attained its present size. ‘When it was a participant in the Bal- kan wats, it was only two-fifths as large as Pennsylvania in area and but little larger than Chicago in population. Starting into that war with 18,000 square miles of territory, it came out with 33,000 square miles; starting in with less than luree milion people, it came out with more than four million. “Considering that Servia is only a little more than a third of a century old as a member of the family of na- tions, and that only 37 years have elapsed since she escaped the blight of Turkish rule, she has made remarkable progress. When . she became inde- pendent of Turkey she had few roads, for roads might be used to march over against the Turks, and Turkey wanted to keep every community isolated. Nor did she have many schools, for schools would give the Servian the power to read and write, and reading and writ- ing are great alds when a people want to revolt against an oppressive rule. Greatest of all present dangers to this active, amb! us nation, whose 37 years of existence has brought it through so mach progress to its most exhausting war, Mr. Showalter finds to be the terr'ble threat of disease, the powerful scourge of epidemic disease that finds its strength in the hundreds of thouszands of war-weakened bodies and war-neglected filth. One of the greatest battles of the war. the writer explains, is ‘the battle of sanitation, the finding of some method for com- letely controlling the spread o typhus-causing vermin. Much alike in their symptoms, Mr, Showalter ex- plains, typhus and typhoid are spread in a widely different manner, and, hence, demand a widely different sani- tary strategy. The typhoid germ takes its departure from the intestinal tract, spreads to drinking water and food: and infects, in that it finds its way into a healthy digestive system. The typhus germ is drawn from infected blood by blood-sucking vermin and by the vermin carried to fresh victims A peasantry crowded together behind the fighting lines and the soldier con- centrations in camps and hospitals make ideal conditions for the spread of the vermin-borne plague. So serious has the condition become in Servia”—concludes this part of the consideration—“that Major General Gorgas, surgeon general of the U, S. A., has been offered the post of ad- viser on world sanitation in general and Servian typhus work in particular, with a liberal salary and a pension for himself and his widow in case of in- capacitation or death, his distinguished achievement at Panama stamping him as a world’s authority, not only. in the critical knowledge of sanitation, but in actual carrying out of campaigns against epidemics.” Russia, determined to reach free water through Constantinople, and for generations in continuous armed or diplomatic struggle with Turkey, Brit- ain, Italy, Austria-Hungary and France over that purpose; Britain, determined to uphold the Turk so as to keep the Muscovite and the Austrian from a port too near Egypt and the Suez Canal; Austria-Hungary, fearful of Pan-Slavism and Russian expansion, and herself covetous of the Balkans; Germany, building a Bagdad railroad, determined upon the ‘peaceful pene- tration’ of the whole Near East; and all of these great powers working to make the little Balkan buffer states serve their purposes—these are the elements, according to Mr. Showalter’s analysis, which forced Servia into rest- less intrigue, bluster, and devious poli- tics for its own conservation. ‘With their industries few, far be- tween and primitive, and with plenty of cheap, rich farm land, the Servians are a free-living, home-staying people, a people with no helpless paupers and no idle rich, who seldom figure in the immigration statistics of any other country. Their constitution prescribes freedom of conscience, of the press, and of peaceful assemblage, and the right to inalienate property. Every male citizen who pays $3 taxes a year and who is over 21 votes in the elec- tion of delegates to congress. In smaller units, the family forms a patriarchal community, the men, often, ruled by grandfather, the women mem- bers, by grandmother. The Servian is careful to marry beyond the “utmost f limits of his family. even to going a day's journey from his home before seeking for a bride. Throughout their social organization, the writer con- cludes, the Servians show solid, whole- some qualities DEAD FROM TYPHUS. American Board Learns of the Death of a Nurse Aft Heroic Service. The officials of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions have just learned of the death from typhus of Miss Marie Zenger, a Swiss nurse who was a member of the band of nurses and doctors despatched from the hoard’s station at Sivas, Turkey, to aid in caring for the sick and wounded in Erzroom early in the win- ter. Although not_under appointment by the American Board, Miss Zenger was at the head of one of the orphan- ages established in Sivas after the ter- rible massacres of some years ago and was closely associated with the Amer- icans in all their work. Early in the winter .the American ‘hospital ‘in Erzroom, as well as the buildings of the American Board’s bovs' and girls’ high schools, were filled to overflowing with sick and wounded Turkish laldhrs. phus_broke out, Dr. E. 3 board’s physician, sent for help to the American hospital in Sivas. Dr. C. E. Clark, with a group of nurses, an or- derly and a druggist, took the 21 days’ midwinter journey across three moun- tains to Erzroom, which by the time his party arrived was one big hospi- tal. Miss Zenger, the Swiss lady whose "death has just been reported, did he- roic service in connection with the American buiidings, of which she took charge, seeing that they were cleaned and put into running order after the first typhus outbreak was somewhat in hand. She later supervised the or- ganization of a hospital which some Armenians established in Erzroom. The Sives party had started back over their ‘mounatin journey—Erzroom having received other reinforcements of military doctors and helpers—when Miss Zenger sickened. They reached Erzingan, an outstation of the board, where a German hospital is located. Miss Zenger was taken there and giv- en the best of care, but did net sur- vive the crisis of the disease. Miss Mary L. Graffam, head of the American Board’s school for girls im Sivas, was with Miss Zenger at her death, as she had been with her dur- ing her service in Erzroom. In a letter describing some of her experiences, Miss Graffam say “I canmot, of course, speak freely of all we see and hear. I feel that I em a different per- son from the one who left Sivas two months ago. The national banks of the Uunited States numbered 7,525 last year,
