To one In touch with the history of the Il.ilkan states it svcins incredible that F.ularia should actually line up, ti the extent of active fratricidal warfaro ai?aint Iiussia. From the Um' tho Unitarians :olopt'd Christianity in the ninth century, they have been completely mixed; : per cent of the I J ulnars have Hussian blo d in their veins. One hundred anil fifty years a'o, the Jul;rarian nation was shrouded in oblivion. Under the iron yoke of Turkey, it hal almost lost consciousness of its national existence. The hero, who by prec ept and example, hy suns

and story, revived in tho oppressed j populaee the spark of patriotism when I it was well nuht extinct, was Yassili I-v.skl, militant churchman and later martyr, Russian both in name and blood. The language of tho country is Slavonic. In 1M7. when the pleadings of Levski that his people throw off the yoke of tin? cruel Turk bore fruit, Russia promptly took the part of Bulgaria and won fr it its partial freedom. In the war of the Ralkan league against Its common enemy, Russia again stood squarely behind Bulgaria and her allies. Nor was the attitude of Russia in the internecine Balkan wars, in which Bulgaria was ravished of the fruits of her ietory, sach as to justly alienate Bulgaria. Russia has been a consistent friend of Bulgaria always. On the other hand, Turkey has been Its arch enemy from time immemorial and yet the die seems to be cast. Bulgaria will side with the central powers; and the world will soon witnes.s the amazing spectacle of htr deoted army lighting against her erstwhile friend and proiictor, ubvigside of the hated Turk, to prevent, it would appear on the sr.rface, that cor.suintnatiori wliich would be the answer to a prayer which even Bulgarian children I lisp. "Oh Father, banish th e Turk j I i"ro:n Europe." But Bulgaria is. and h: the open and for that may be commended. Bearing the brunt of the lighting in the Turkish-Balkan war, on the gloody f.elds of Kirk Kallisse, Kirdjali and Clmtalja, and ag'ain beioie the frci'viiin raiuj arts of Adrianoplo. !:lgari.i v,.'.' i'htitlod to the full truita of her victory. lr years she had labored to release her blood kin in Macedonia from the fetters she heri-, If had cast off. It was done and Macedonia belonged, by eery right in the decalogue, to Bulgaria. By force it va.s wrested from her. Long ago. '.hen this war was yet young, Bulgaria solemnly declared that she put above all things else her dream to reeover this lost territory. She gave notice thaT she would side with the. power which would give her back Macedonia. Nothing e Ise would suf fice, naught eNe would satisfy her ambitions. She had her one price. The allies refused to pay it. Germany offend It in full. Can she deher? It remains to be seen. Meanwhile. Bulgaria tnuls herself Uienaced upon all sides as a r. suit of ktr decision. Gre.-cc. with her magloent little legion is ready. Seria Ms mobilized an army upon the west. An expeditionary fori e of French and British, and quite likely Italians as will, have landed at Saloniki, while Russia is threatening Varna with a great battle tlret. It is reported that a huge Russian force is mobilized at Odessa, nady to be lutrbd into Bul garia thr :h Varr.a. Roumanian, Bulgaria beiiees, will remain neutral, but it Would indeed be dangerous to pin any faith on that belief. It looks as if Bulgaria stands a good chance f being crushed i fere the Germans ean ! ri.ik through to her aid. If it should S" happen Bulgaria's itcarn of biomi:ig a gte.,t nation woubj .-.'M-a for all time. Moreover.

his peopl for the disaster of 1913, when his arrogance and o'erweenlng ambition lost Macedonia. A repetition may cost him his throne; as former Prime Minister Guoshoff.

PiulKaria defeated, the back door to Constantinople will stand invitingly ajar.

kilhy and (Tiu:it roirrs. If we judge accurately the world's estimate of James Whitcomb ltiley. Incident to essays published, and much that was written about him for Riley day. las,t week, :i news standard of measurement for American poets has been established. Riley, judged by literary standards, is not a j?reat poet. Sr certainly doesn't belong with the "vrld poets." Critics will not put him in the first rank of American singers, and perhaps not even in the second. And yet he is honored more by the American people today than any other of our poets, living or dead. And none of the rest ever gained suh ungrudging recognition during their lives as was shown him only last week on tho occasion of his llfty-nlnth birthday. Foreign readers hardly know Riley's name. Most Americans of cultivated literary taste, however they may like his poetry, refuse to compare it with that of our older galaxy of bards, Iiryant, Lowell, Poe, Longfellow and Whitman. Of these it is generally recognized today that two stand Incomparably above the rest Poe in tho technical perfection of his verse, and whitman in bigness and power of insplration. Kven among our later poets there are .several who are commonly placed before Riley, particularly Eugene Field, who hue', .so much in common with him. Rut somehow Riley has taken hold of the people, of the average reader and even the non-reader, in a way that the others, whatever their genius, have not. And the reason, perhaps, is that of all our writers worthy of being called poets, he is the least "lit erary." His language and his inspiration are not taken from books, lie is more simple, natural and human than cvgi Robert l'urns, for he never tries to be anybody but himself, or to depict any emotions that he doesn't know and feel in his own heart, or to portray any characters with whom ho is not intimately acquainted. Riley Is essentially Indiana, intensely Hoosier. His homely verse is Hoosierdom turned into rhyme and meter. And so true and sincere is it that even though the poet Ls not "great," and even though people of other sections profess to dilike the "Hoosier dialect" or the "Hoosier type," they are still led, in spite of prejudice and academic training, to love Riley and his writings. Human nature is so much the samo at bottom that anybody who pictures any s.et of human beings sincerely

bMi. inland truthfully makes a basic human

appeal that "gets under people's hides." If there is any moral, it is probably this that anybody who aspires In write pootry, for Americans, had better bo human than literary", had better write out of his own heart than out of library inspiration. Honesty is the best policy for poets, particularly, and unfortunately lew of our American poets have been honest enough to be themselves rather than echoes of greater bards. TRACTION "OCTOITS" AT WORK AGAIN. The latest comes in the nature of a covert threat, quite apparently from traction headquarters, and appearing in the columns of our evening contemporary, that the Chicago, ,outh Bend v Northern Indiana may bring suit a.gainst the city for JJö.Oeö damages. It Is alleged in this same erstwhile contemporary that the "jitneys" have captured that much money that might otherwise have gone to the "octopus." Anything if you please, to browbeat and bullyrag the common council into passing a "jitney" ordinance that will put that means of conveyance out of business. We have no doubt as tc the traction interests being back of the suggestion. We havo had it poured into our own ears, not by the magnates themselves, but by their counsel, and not that they were going to do it but that they might, and would be legally justified. We were supposed

to get scared and stop opposing tnejinj; to hrQ tno on the ground traction "graft." in order to xive the that A (?

city in a pred cament, through some' i particular brand of "jitney" regulation, that will give them ground for such a suit. The effusion through our contemporary gives them away. Read it: It is said the street railway company has lost $23,000 in business due to jitneys. If the railway company should sue South Bend for $23,000 damages it would bo comfortable to know that each jitney running on streets where there are railway lines was under $1,000 bond to indemnify the city in case it was compelled to pay the damages the railway company asked, would it not? If the jitneys will not thus or cannot thu.s protect the city, why not compel them to operate on street.s where they could not bring the city in to a possibly embarrassing position on account of competing with the railway company? Which shows a hand not befor quite so plainly visible. Councilman Iang, prize promoter of tho latest ordinance, would do well to consider, if he cares to, the light in which ho is being placed. If he is to cham pion the cause of the "octopus" ho ought to do it with a whole heart, and if he must be scared, admit that he is searec to death. A WEAK MESSENGER. Evidenco is piling up that Archibald wa.s not only a willing, but a rotten dispatch bearer. irymg to unuc uie Mewuiu tu muo ine pacKage or letters ana iaiuric', no aroused his suspicions so that ho promptly reported tho matter to his chief, who put tho British secret service "next." Archibald also talked so much and so indiscreetly that a party of Canadian fellow-passengers denounced him as a German propagandist to tho British agents. To punish Archibald may absolve this country of any blame for the misuse of its passport, but it won't salve the wounded Yankee pride nor patch up ou; damaged reputation for astuteness. Dr. Dumba deserved to be sent home, if only for showing us up this way. HAS thi: NUtVE, ANYHOW.
