Is Plan of Cleveland Official, Says
Would Be Better for Employ
er and Employee
CLEVELAND, (>., July 14.—"All
holidays on Monday,” is the plan
which has been worked out by J. F.
Harton, an official of the Cleveland
waterworks department. Harton
would also arrange the distribution
of holidays so that they would fall
at. approximately regular intervals
instead of in groups, as is now the
case. Harton points out that his plan
would be welcomed by al lworkers,
because ten times each year it would
give them a short vacation of two
and one-half days. Employers would
also endorse it, he thinks, because
a holdiay which falls in the middle
of the week hampers their work.
Washington’s birthday, under the
proposed scheme would fall on the
first Monday following February 22,
Lincoln’s day would be transferred to
the first Monday in April. Then
would follow Memorial day on the
last day in May, Independence day
the first Monday in July and civic
day the first Monday in August. La
bor day would fall on the first Mon
day in September,' as it does now,
Columbus day on the second Monday
in October and Thanksgiving on the
last Monday in November would com
plete the list except Christmas and
New Years, which Harton would leave
unchanged. With the help of pro
gressive associates Harton will at
tempt io have his plan framed into
a bill and ■'introduced at the next
session of congress.

King Nicholas May Abdicate In Fa
vor of Servian Crown Prince,
Thus Uniting Two Countries.
CETTINGE, Montenegro, July 14.—
King Nicholas is contemplating the
-'abdication or his throne and the con
solidation of Montenegro and Servia
. into one country. He plans to ab
dicate in favor of Crown Prince Ale*
ander of Servia, who is now ruler of
that country as regent, his farther
having retired because of U1 health.
jFor a century - past the separate
political existence of Montenegro has
been one of the pel projects of the
powers. The Montenegrins are of the
same ethnical Slav origin as the Ser
vians, speak only the Servian lan
guage, and are kept apart only
through the machinations of Ausfna.
They have joint ministry with Servia.
By keeping up this separate political
existence from Servia, Austria has
hoped not only to prevent th£ for
mation of a big Slav empire on her
southern border, which might not
only one day be a national menace,
but which would also block her own
ambitions of extending Austrian ter
ritory through to a southern seaport
on the Adriatic or the Agean.
However, just what Austria doesn't
want is just what Nicholas does want
and his latest scheme of abdication
seems to offer the only way for its
attainment. There are now in the
Balkan peninsula 13,000,000 Slavs.
Since Servia doubled its territory in
the recent Balkan wars, she now has
5,000,000 of these within her own
boundaries. Some 200,000 more com
prise the population of Montenegro,
while the remainder are in the Slav
provinces of Dalmatia, Crtta, Boznia
and Herzogovina, which Austria has
from time to time annexed. The as
piration of these 13,000,000 Slavs is
to get all of these Slav provinces and
states back into the common Slav
fatherland which the Turks wiped
out 500 years ago. United Servia
and Montenegro might accomplish
this.
Other considerations have also
moved King Nicholas! to act a^, this
time. Like the other Balkan states,
Montenegro also added greatly to its
territory as a result of the two re
cent Balkan wars. After centuries of
misrule by the Turks these new prov
inces are in a deplorable condition.
Large sume are necessary for their
immediate development, and this King
Nicholas has no way of obtaining.
United, however, to Servia this would
come in for all of the improvements
which that country has under way
for its new acquisitions. Then, too,
Nicholas is worried about the mat
ter of succession. He is not at all
certain that Prince Danilo could keep
up *he integrity of the state as it
should be.
In addition, Nicholas is not a little
desirous of “getting back" at the
powers, mat only on Ms own behalf,
but on behalf of Servia and the Slav
people generally. This he would most
effectively do by amalgamating the
two kingdoms. The powers unjustly
deprived Servia of a seaport on the
Adriatic, to which she was entitled
after the Balkan wars. Montenegro
has two seaporta there and If these
passed into the hands of Servia it:
would be an awful Mow to the Eu
ropean chancellories. The two ports
on the Adriatic combined with port
rights at Salonika on the Agean,
which Servia succeeded finally in
wresting from the powers, would eas
ily make 'the new Slav empire the
dominating factor In the Balkans.
The army of 500,000 men which the
combined Montenegrin and Servian
forces could master might also make
possible the eventual getting back
from Austria ef the four Slav prov
inces which she still holds.
