Some have argued that the making of arms should be a government mon- opoly; that would suit Germany's book, but how about nations whose industries do not run to iron? The fact is that no scheme has been pro- posed which favors militarism so lit- tle as the free right to purchase mu- nitions of war when they are needed, and until a way is found to end war this is & sufficlent justification for the trade” To follow any other course than for nations to purchase from others when in need of war munitions is to stimu- late the cause of militarism.

Connle Mack makes it plain that life has no more ups and downs than has organized baseball. The man on the corner says: Among hereditary blessings too little appre- clated is a love for work.

Al the water had to do was to drink the ink and turn opaque. He was like the water, and he waited for results. One @ay he stopped in at his tobac- |} conists’ for a fresh supply of plug cut —Blacksmith's Blend, his favorite. He had never told the tobacconist what he was doing, because he hated to hurt the tobacconist’s feelings. He was an old fri towards reforms. He was grizzled and old, and he had never been seen with- out a pipe in his mouth. He was 78 years old and still puffing like a brush a wet day. He used to take his pipe out of his mouth long enough to_say: “Here I be, goin’ on 78 y'ars, an’ I've smuck ever sense I c'd start a draft Folks tell me I'd be a hunderd by w, ef 1 hedn’t smuck my y'ars away.” It was the only joke he knew.

This s not a good condition, and it W fidel, {mports Scutari—After weeks of silence, the news comes that the persistent little army of Montenegro has taken to it- self Scutari, the principal city and fortress of Albania, which fell before the victorious Montcnegrins in the first Balkan war, and from which the soldlers of the Mountain Kingdom were compelled to retire by action of Austria-Hungary. The Montenesrins have had_considerable practice in at- tacking Scutari through their 500 years of intermittent struggle with the Turks, and all of the problems involv- ed in an advance by the side of the Lake of Scutari to the city between the mountains are doubtless thorough- Iy known to the present military lead- ers of the tiny state. A description of this city, a strategic point for the dominion of Northern Albania, is given in the most recent statement of the National Geographic society, issued in its series of war-geography studies The statement reads: “Scutar] has military value as com- manding Northern Albania, and as be- s key position on the northern f the plain that stretches from the town into the country’s interior. 1t is the most important city in the newly created Albanian nation, havis & population of more than 32,000, an Some transit and export trade. It has lost considerable of its commerce, however, to Salonica and other neigh- boring ports, which enjoy the advan- tages of ood railway connections. An- other disadvantage under which Scu- tari suffers is the lack of all port fa- cilities upon its convenient sea coast. “Situated beyond the flat, fever- laden coastlands and just beyond the coastal hills, Scutari is _effectively closed_away from the world, even for Albanfa. It s built upon the south- eastern shore of Lake Scutari, near the confluence~of the Drin and Bova- na rivers. The Adriatic lies little more than 14 miles to the west. The greater part of the Lake of Scutari, since the settlements brought about by the first Balian war, is _contained within_the Montenegrin borders. The city of Scutari lies just across the Montenegrin_boundary, but a evening-hour's walk away. The lake is surpassingly beautiful; its waters are brilliantly clear, the growths up- on its banks luxurious, while _the heavy-shouldered mountains, which sive it a setting like a gem in a ring, sreatly increase the effect of the pi ture. ~ There are numerous, heavil populatgd breeding grounds by i shores for aquatic fowl, and the lake, itself, is well stocked with fish. “The country all around the city s wild—as is most of the area of Alba- nia— and very sparsely settled. The individual Albanian buflds him a home, a hut, in the forest on the spur of some hill, near enough to a city to permit him to send his women folk for supplies but seldom near enough to others to aid in forming = village. Very few paths that can satisfactorily be classed as roads run through this country. The easiest way to progres: from Scutari is along the plain, which extends from across the Montenegrin frontier south to Alessio. It is large- 1y owing to the wild, uncharted moun- tain-and-ravine ways of Albania that the Turks were never able completely to subdue this people, but were forced to govern them by a diplomatic distri- bution of favor. “Oriental and plcturesque in ap- pearance, thers s, however, little to suggest well-belng or wealth in the banian lis.
