Sept. 22.—The Times cor

government is naturally reluctant to
convene the. chamber, fearing a hos
tile vote as the country is under mar
tial law and as public meetings are
forbidden and the newspapers are
frequently confiscated, the sentiment
ot the bulk of the nation finds in-.
adequate expression and discontent
is decreasing."
Servian Frontier a War Zone.
Berlin (Ly Wireless to Sayville. N.
Y.), Sept. 22. —It is reported from the
Balkans that the Servian government
has declared the Servo-Bulgarian fron
tier district a war zone.
It also is reported that Bulgarian j
troops are concentrated near the Serv
ian frontier and that German and
Austro-Hungarian troops have been j
concentrated since a certain date
along the Servian border line.
The report of the German head
quarters staff that German artillery
had opened fire upon the Servian posi
tions near Semendria and had driven
the Servians from their positions after
silencing their batteries is greeted by
the German newspapers as the open
ing on a large scale of a German
campaign against Servia.
Slavs Escape Trap.
Petrograd, Sept. 22. —The Vilna
army, under command of Genera 1
Evert, has escaped from the envelop
ing movement of the German armies.
A dispatch received from army head
quarters states that the retreat of the
Russian troops is now proceeding un
der norrrl and favorable conditions.
The withdrawal of the Russians
from Vilna eastward instead of south
ward is authoritatively interpreted
here as proof that the German cavalry
has been unable seriously to impede
the Russian retreat. Passing Osh
miany and Soly the Russians are now
battling for crossings over the Biliya
river under conditions regarded as
favorable. The Germans in their pur
suit have occupied territory only as
far as the Meeshank river.
Bulgaria For "Armed Neutrality."
Washington, Sept. 22.—M. Stephan
Panaretoff, the Bulgarian minister to
the United States, announced that he j
has received a cablegram from his
government announcing that the Bui- ;
garian army was ordered mobilized *o
"preserve armed neutrality."
Bulgars Invade Servia?
Athens, Sept. 22. —A dispatch from
Salonika says an unconfirmed report
has been received there that a Bul
garian army has invaded Servia. The
message does not give the source of
the report.

London, Sept. 22. The papers

eral in New York, to the ministry of
foreign affairs at Vienna, and No. 7,
sent by Captain von Papen to the
chief of the German general staff at
Berlin.
In a letter to Archibald just prior
to his jieparture Ambassador von
Bernstorff expresses "his pleasure at ;
hearing that the war correspondent is
to return to Germany and Austria
"after having promoted our interests
out here in such a zealous and suc
cessful manner."
Captain von Papen pays his re
spects to "these idiotic Yankees" in a |
letter to his wife, in which he say*
that "it seems quite likely that w
shall meet again soon" and that "the
sinking of the Adriatic may well h* l
the last straw" but expressing the
hope that the danger will blow over.
He refers to the German victories
on the eastern front and adds: "I al
ways say to these idiotic Yankees
they better hold their tongues. It's
better to look at all this heriosm full
of admiration. My friends in the army
are quite different in this way."

Lincoln's Funeral Coach.
The first Pullman sleeping car, con
structed in 1864 In the shops of the
Alton and Chicago and called the Pio
neer, served as the funeral coach for
President Lincoln. Its cost was $lB.-
000, which was regarded in those days
as most extravagant, and as it was
higher and wider than the ordinary
cars and the clearances of station plat
forms and bridges when it was decid
ed that it should be the funeral coach
of the president many changes were
involved. Gangs of men were set work

Assets and Liabilities.
An asset Is something which you
think belongs to you. A liability is
something of yours which others think
belongs to them. Neither one of you
is quite right. An asset without a lia
bility would not be called an asset.
Neither would a liability without an
asset be called a liability. It would
then be debt, while an asset without
liability would lie weah'.i or capital or
property.
An asset Is what you think you own.
A liability is what others think you
owe. What your labilities are depend
upon your assets. What your assets
are depend u;oti your liabilities.
Therefore au is a liability and a
liability is an asset. —Life.

The Evolution of the Hog.
i The time honored razor backed hog
la giving place to the sleek porker, on i
whose broad back a square meal could ;
be displayed without a drop of coffee
being spilled and with no danger of
even one of the dishes sliding to the
ground. The rooter is being shouldered
out of the way in Georgia by the hog
that doesn't have to root for a living
and Is so fat that its efforts to root
would be ludicrous. Scientists say that
when any part of an animal is lonir
unused it tends gradually to disappear.
Does that mean that pig culture will
cause the final disappearance of the
nasal protuberance of the hog with
which it formerly was accustomed to
root for its living?— Savannah News.

Some Measures.
The length of the foot was used for*
1 distances long before it was fixed at
twelve inches. A "furlong'' is only a
fuiTowlong. The breadth of the hand
became the standard because the eas
iest way of measuring tbe height of
the horse. The length of tbe arm gave
the length of the "ell," and from the
elbow to the tip of the middle finger
; was the "cubit" By stretching out
both arms as if on a cross man invent
ed the measure of the "fathom."
Cloth measure still decrees that two
and one-half inches make a "nail."
I and this is the width of four fingers
; held together and measured across tbe
nails. The apothecary's "dram" origi
nally signified "only as much raw spir
it as can be held in the mouth."
