It U.kINS DISPOS \l.
Competent observers agree that the
Balkans will continue to menace the
peace of Kurope and of the world, de
spite any settlements that may be
reached in Paris and regardless of the
hf-it efforts of a league of nations, un
less the territorial questions between
Bulgaria and its neighbors are adjust
ed in reasonable harmony with just
principles rather than on tin* basis of
lame compromises or secret diplomacy
bargains.
Surely the history of the last hun
dred years affords sufficient warnings
against the policy of mere grab in th *
n**a»* v.'t. Safety henceforth must he
sought ;n the wise application to the
whole Balkan peninsula of the doc
trine of »*ae»a! and national self-deter
mination. It should be the special mis
sion of the American peace delegation
in Paris, as Mr. Bass pointed out som •
time ago in several significant cable
dispatches to The Daily News, to sc
enic by disinterested guiadance genu
ine pacification in the Balkans if not
to lay the foundation for eventual fed
oration of the Balkan countries.

in the way are formidable. The resent

ment felt against Bulgaria, particular
ly by Serbs and Greeks, is intense. I he
part a pro-German king and an equ
ally antinational military clique play
ed in diugging the Bulgars into the
war in the side ot tin' central power*
will not soon he foigotten. Kven to
da\ the aide Greek statesman. M. Veil
i/ado*, admonishes the peace confer
ence to beware of “the Prussians of
the Balkans.” and to decide every
boundary question against them. In
deed, it has been proposed by Britain
and Frame that the Bulgarian as we 1
a> the Turkish parts of Thrace be giv
on to Greece, that the Dobrogea b>
ceded to Koumania and that ScrbVi
and Greece absorb Macedonia. Thus
one-half the Bulgur race, it is estimat
ed would become the subjects of alien
governments, and Bulgaria would b '
out off from the Aegean Kea.
M. Yenizelos is a leading t»gi e »n
the peace conference anil his \iev s
cany much weight there. He has
strong British support and can count
on French sympathy as well; for the
fear that Bulgaria will again become
an instrument of Germany is nev> **
lost sight of by the ^‘nlomates of
western Kurope. ^ et i* would he
grave blunder to perni t hatred ar 1
anger against Bulgaria to control te
ritorial decisions in the Bel bans. T*»
disregard racial claims is to giv
Bulgaria a real gricvenco and invil *
the very plotting that is feared.
Bulgarian statesmen and soldio*
have many sins to answer for. but the
people should not he crushed for those
sins, and the intrigues of Austria and
Russia at the expense of Bulgari i
should not ho left out of the reckon
ing. If Bulgaria today is willing to ac
ccn* and offer justice, to abide by tb *
results of an honest plebiscite in any
area to which rival -claims are advanc
ed. the Paris conference cannot co*
s’stentlv or ratonallv subject it * o

SUBSTITUTE

PROSPEROUS
SAX FUANOISCO , Aug.. 22— In
certain of the smaller towns in the
intenor of California there are
growing up small places of business
that, in the opinion of some observ
ers, may prove to contain the solu
tion in part of the problem of a
substitute for the saloon as a gath
ering place for men.
William V. Cowan, secretary of
the California State Council of De
fense and organizer of the state
wide system of community councils,
when sneak;ng along this line, said
that he regarded some ot these little
business centers that had come
under hi> notice as significant, for

the reason that, while they retained
the locations and clientele of the
saloon, they differed from the saloon
in the absence of intoxicating liquors
and the evil atmosphere engendered
by the trade intoxicants.
Heal Social Centers.
“These places." said Mr. Cowan,
“instead of sellinp liquor, deal in
candy, peanuts, soft drinks, ii‘*
cream, and a varied assortment of
! knicknnrks and small articles. But
that is not all there is to the matter.
If that were all. there would he
nothin** notable about it as there al
wav have been many places of tips
k’jul. The point is that the men
wh,» run these places at least those
t! .it have come to my attention,
have succeeded in making; their
I places real social centers, places
i where the men conprepate just as
; they did in the saloon. The pro
I pnetors of these little institutions,
! if they may so be called, seem, ton
I sciously or unconsciously, to haw*
made a study of the need of then
little communities for pla'es el
neiphborly conprepation. and to have
learned how to supply that need.
For example, they keep informed on
matters of interest to the farmers
who come in from the country round
ab >ut. and thus furnish an induce
punt for these visitors to drop m

The Motion Picture House
What is taking the place of the
saloons in the cities is perhaps not
so apparent, because of the moi '
complex and diversified conditions
of city life. According to the ob
Se--vations of one worker who is
in a position to study developments
of this kind, however, the institution
that is taking the place ot the saloon
in San Fiancisco is the motion pic
tun house. In fact, according to this
authority, the picture theatre has
also been one of the causes for the
abandonment of the saloons. Hoi
while San Francisco is still a wot
city, many saloons have recently
been given up on account of lack o;
patronage, this being attributed ♦ >
the attractiveness of the motion pi.
ure house as a place of enteitain
ment and congregation.
While the motion picture house,
as now conducted, is not adapted to
serve as a social center, this ob
server believes that it contain great
possibilities in that direction. Ho
said that his experience had led him
to believe that if the right pictures
wore selected, and proper equip
ment were supplied for informal so
cial intercourse, centers could congr-*
jjat** in a way that would have a far
reaching and beneficial effect.
