The imperative summons of th« German and Austrian press to Bul- garia to declare war against Rou- mania is a further curious symptom of the general uneasiness.

Go to â€" VerdunlFrom I "The Westminster Gaiette." Rocky Island of Greece Supports j 25,000 People. "It is easier to build a house than , to build a farm in Andros," declared Prof. J. Irving Manatt recently; and. since he describes a "twelve-story farm," but no house of more than three stories, it is easy to believe that he is right. .A.ndros, one of the famous "isles of Greece" of Byron and Homer, is a mountain island twenty-one miles by eight, which supports twenty-five thousand people, to whom both wealth and poverty are unknown. Every foot of land must be made to produce to the uttermost where farms are half quarried, half built on a rocky mountain side. So, in a lesser degree, are the farmhouses. "To get foundations you simply quarry out a section of rock slope un- til your horizontal and perpendicular I meet, and you have a fine rock shelf i with floor and back wall that will never need repairing. In fact, you may sometimes economize your end walls out of nature in the same way; but as a rule that is avoided for sani- tary reasons." Quarrying the cellar for a house us- ! ually affords the main part of the building material for the house walls; and quarrying to make the flat ledges for a terraced farm provides stone to build the necessary retaining walls. .\ndrian industry "has through pa- tient ages, turned the bleak moun- tains into smiling gardens. God gives the rocks and the rigorous winters and sweeping summer winds. Where a thousand s^hiftiess souls would starve, twenty thousand and more by toil and thrift have enough and to spare." The island rocks are .-ilate. which sucks in water like a sponge, yield- ing it again in abundant springs; moreover, as they di.--integrate they weather into fruitful soil. The farm- er, his terrace and aqueduct ready, "when he has got his footing, so to speak, in one little shelf of toil or a dozen of them, plants his olive, fig and vine, his bit of barley or wheat, his patch of onions, potatoes and beans, .\gainst the north wind he sets his break of cypress trees with intertwining vines, or of tall reeds in triple ranks. He keeps half a dozen goats and sheep for wool, miik and cheese. . . . There is always, too, the household pig. to be salted and pick- led for winter. .After the Feast of Saint Demetrius in October follows the pigsticking throughout the island, and in this land of simple living a bit of pickled pig is a luxury. .\ well- to-do household will have its donkey, possibly a cow or two for draft and breeding, rarely for milk." ' Fruit, especially lemons, of which the annual yield is estimated at twenty millions, is the leading crop. Professor Manatt pays tribute to the I island housewives when he declares that "this commerce might be in- creased and the world given a new delight" if they would only export their "preserve of green lemons no bigger than a walnut, and still more delicious lemon-blossom sweets." There are figs, too, and grapes, with the picturesque festivals of the vint- • age and fig-stringing. A fig-stringing, which occurs after the figs have been gathered and dried upon thL> housetop by being spread upon beds of clean rushes, is, he ex- plains, a sort of sewing bee. .\ .ioily company of women and girls gather in a great room heaped with the dried fruit, like a garner full of corn, lach ' vying with the rest in transforming 1 the piled confusion into graceful and I convenient garlands. They string the . figs upon reed grass, used as thread, land fastened into hosps, gossiping ' and laughing as their fingers fly, and j celebrating the close of the task with a simple feast and dancing.

SERBS DEFEAT BULGAR ARMY Latter Attacked Entente's Left Flank With Most Disas- trous Results. A despatch from London says :â€" While oflTicial reports from the fight- i.':g front in Greece and Macedonia are very brief, from otJier sources the news comes of severe encounters. In these, which have occurred principally on the allied extreme left, held by the Serbians under their Crown Prince, the Bulgrars, according to an .Athens despatch, have suffered a repu se. The .Athens despatch says rfie Bul- gars attacked in close formation, and it is estimated, lost 15,000 in dead, wounded and prisoners. They were compelled to call for reinforcements f r' m Kastoria and Valbankeni. The Bulgarian regiments attacked the Serbians in close formation after the German style, near Borovitz. and suffered severely. They were com- pelled to ask for reinforcements from Valbankeni and Kastoria. The Serbians appear to be masters of the situation at Gomicheve, says the .Athens correspondent, and Bul- garian officer? of Roumanian origin who deserted said the Bulgarians call- ed Gomicheve "another Verdun." KAISER LOVER OF PE.\CE. Says: "I Don't Envy the Man Who Caused the War." The Berne correspondent of th« London Daily News quotes an emin- ent neutral who recently was in Ber- lin and had an audience with the Kaiser. .-Vcconiing to this authority the Kaiser said: "It is curious how the British the- ory that I am responsible for the war seems to fascinate my enemies. Yet the people who accuse me of having caused the war are the very people who previously testified to the ear- nestness of my desire for peace. "I do not envy the man who has the responsibility for this war upon his conscience. I. at least, am not that man. I think history will clear me of that charge, although I do not suppo.se that history will hold me faultless. "In a sense every civilized man in Europe must have a share in the re- sponsibility for this war. and the higher his position the larger his re- sponsibility. I admit that and yet claim that I acted throughout in good faith and strove hard for peace, even though war was inevitable. "Why do you neutrals always talk about German militarism and never alfout Russian despotism, the French craving for revenge and English treaihery ? I think the next gener- ation will strike a juster balance m apportioning the blame." In the course of the interview, ac- cording to the dispatch, astonishment at and admiration for the discipline and unity of the German people was expressed. The Kaiser replied: "That is the impression most foreigners get, even hostile foreign-, crs. I suppose for one thing that the contrast between the Germany de- picted by our enemies, the Germany which is supposed to be restive, war- tired, half-famisheii. and the united, enthusiastic, still prosperous country actually seen must cause them a great Jeal of astonishment." The Borne dispatch quotes ths same neutral as saying: "The Kaiser did not strike me at all as a man who was suffering in- tense mental anguish or who ha 1 an intolerable burden upon his con- si'ii'nce. I have seen many men vhose rent was overdue look much more worried. There are deep lines certainly across his forehead, and his hair contains many gray .streaks, but the same might be said of most men of his age." Some folks will do anything money except go to work for it. for - * Disobeying (Orders.
