SAYS GREEKS ARE
DANGEROUSLY PATRIOTIC
Now that the principal character
istic of the Balkan people is bitter
hatred of the nearest alien people.
Tho Greeks hated the Serbians
normally, but when they spoke of
the Bulgars it was in terms of tor
turfe and burning alive. Venizelos
they idolized almost to a man; but I
found that they would even vote
Against him, for they thought he
meant to force them into war and
tho Greeks did not want to fight.
Except the Spartans, of whom 1
saw a great many, and who were
eager for war against anyone at
any time. Greeks are more senti
mentally patriotic than any other
people; you only have to wave a
flag and shout “glory” to them and
they will go to war for a good cause
or a bad one.—Metrpolitan.

HENRY FORD IN
HIS OWN TOWN
WHAT THEY THINK OF HIM
WHERE HE IS EXCEPTION
ALLY WELL KNOWN
(Detroit Saturday Night)
It is we believe, a fair estimate
f Henry Ford to say that he is a
mechanical genius of a sweet and
lovable disposition, with almost
boundless ignorance on almost every
subject of human knowledge outside
of his mechanical specialties. He
never hadt he advantage of an ade
quate education -ht school or college,
and he has succeeded in reaching
middle life with far less of the
fruits of self-education than many
men of the same age and with less
opportunities. He has read less than
the average schoolboy. He would
never win a prize in spelling, and
what he says so frequently and so
verbosely in the newspapers of late
months is what others say for him,
and write for him, and in large
measure think for him.
We do not believe that Henry
Ford is thinking of the money he
will make through using his peace
expedition to advertise the name of
the automobile he makes. Nor are
we at all sure that he is not think
ing a good deal of Iris personal ag
grandizement in his curious ven
ture. There are men for whom pub
licity is the crown of life. It is
iheir substitute for enduring fame,
pleasing as a glass diamond to the
man who cannot get the real thing.
Chauncey Depew avers that Brother
Ford is engaged in "a struggle for
the front page.” Quite possibly.
And yet a year ago we would not
have said that. His generosity with
is employes, his hospital and char
ity donations, his interest in his
city, all stamp him as a man of
philanthropic motives. For all we
know' his motives in this peace ex
pedition may be entirely philan
thropic. But there has been an
extradorinary change in Henry Ford
in the past year—from the time, be
it noted, that President Wilson sent
for him to interpret the state of
the country, Mr. Ford, we under
stand, neither added to nor sub
tracted from the sum of the presi
dent’s knowledge, but he canfe home
a changed man. Before that fate
ful day he was always modest in
expdressing an o pinion about things
he did not know or understand,
thus concerving a large portion of
his leisure hours for other things;
but since then he seems to have been
alking with increased velocity and
variety.

BULGARIANS
ARE RELUCTANT
I'O TAKE RISK OF EMPLOYING
THEIR WHOLE ARMY IN
THE ATTACK
PARIS, Jan. 18— A correspon
dent to the Petit Journal at Athens,
ays that Bulgarians are somewhat
reluctant in employing their whole
army in the Salonil^; attack. He ex
plains thus:
“They say that with the con
quest of Serbia and the reopening
of the railway between Belgrade and
Constantinople, their part in the
bargain is completed. They are
disincl ined to become Germany’s
. atspaw unless a fresh arrangement
is made, including a territorial re
ward in Greek Macedonia, which
Germany is unable to promise. This
situation is causing great perplexity
in Berlin and Vienna.”
The London Times correspondent
in the Balkan has this" to say in ex
planation of the situation:
“In order to strengthen the Ger
man hold on Bulgaria and Turkey
and to spare their own men, the Ger
mans aim at enmpolying native
• roops so far as possible on for
ign service, and in pursuance of
•his policy will employ Turkish as
well as Bulgarian troops for an ad
vance on Saloniki. The delay in
t'JL attack is not due to the dif
ficulty in bringing up troops and
supplies but to the reticence of
Greece to open up her frontier in
fear that the Bulgarian soldiers
will take revenge for the events of
June, 1913. The prospect of re-en
tering Saloniki, however, is the only
remaining inducement Germany can
offer Bulgaria for continued partic
ipation in the war, and if tL\ s is
refused, the incipient peace move
ment in Bulgaria will make rapid
progress, with the result that the
next few months may witness a
strong reac);on in Bulgarian pub
lic sentiment.

QUEEN ALXEANDRA WAITS
ON COMMON SOLDIERS
Takes Her Shift Likt> the Rest
Of the Waitresses
LONDON, Jan. 3—Queen Alex
andra, mother of King George V.,
has taken a particular interest in
the work of the soldiers’ canteens
hich furnish coffee and sand
whiches free to all men in uniform
t the principal London railway
stations. On several occasions the
queen mother has insisted on tak
ing a turn at the coffee urn, serving
the customary hour and a half trick
with the other voluntary workers
at one or another of the stations.
The soldiers seldom recognize her
highness for some time, and she
takes special delight in serving
them incognito and receiving their
“Thank you missus,” just as it is
given to the other workers in the
canteen.
Perhaps the best of the queen’s
customers was a Kentish farmer
who looked in at the London bridge
station canteen one foggy night.
He was evidently neither a soldier
nor a sailor and was distinctly not
in uniform. But somebody whis
pered to him that the queen mother
was serving coffee. He approached
one of the other waitresses and
asked if, supposing he gave a little
money to the cause, the queen
would give him a cup of coffee
with her own hand. Queen Alex
andra readily consented. So the
farmer from Kent had his coffee,
and then, coming inside the counter,
he wrote out a check for $25.
Soon after he took his train for
Kent, and the next thing heard from
was in the form of a check for
$250, being money which he had
raised in subscriptions among his
neighbors. A fortnight later he ap
peared in person with $125 more
and declared that he was not going
to rest until he had brought his
total contribution up to $1,000. —

With reference to the article in j
your paper of January eleventh ask
ing for alms for the starving people
of Poland, I thlink it would be a
good plan to donate the bean bags |
made recently to be used in connec
tion with the Physical Culture Ex
ercises for pupils of the Ketchikan
public school, or have those bags
auctioned off separately to the high
est bidder, and fund derived there
from sent to the starving children
of Poland, to say nothing of our
own cuntry’s needy, who would be
thankful to even have those wasted
beans to eat. If it is necessary
that the pupils must have bags for
Physicial Culture Exercises, in the
name of humanity let us find some
thing unedible to fill such bags and
at the same time teach our children
the lessons of charity and good will
for those less fortunate in life.

REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL
(By Helen Rowland in P.-I.)
Smash, splash, crash!
Are the armies crossing the sea? '
Ah, no, it is only the sad refrain
Of the broken vows, as they fall
like rain
The vows they will make—and
break—again
Next year, to you and me!
When you consider how difficult
it is for a woman to find a mate
who is as good as she is, you are
forced to acknowledge that it must
be next to impossible for a bachelor
to find his “mate”—who, of course,
must be a lot better than he is.
Poker and love are two games at
which the amateur should never
play, and in which “beginners luck’’
nets nothing in the end—but exper
ience.
The best cure-all ever patented is
a starvation diet; a little judicious
absence from the dinner table or
the loved one is an equally ef
fective remedy for dyspepsia or a
grande passion.
If a man would show as much
blind enthusiasm in praising his
wife as he does in praising his
motor car there would be no such
thing as matrimonial unrest—per
haps.
How many women can a man
really love in a lifetime, Well,
dear me, let’s see. How many
women are there ?
Those tender, facinating little
ways for which a woman marries
a man are often the very things
for which she afterwards divorces
him.
