the spirit of the ♦merlcan Declar

perience of the French Republic.
But Austria does not view such de-
mocracy as separiM from her empire.
Since the date of tkl�eclaratlon the
royal and imperial m archy him om-
clally proclaimed that, although she
does not oppose the idea ot Jugo-
slavia, yet she contends that that

"But what ot allegiance to the

considering Lloyd George's pledges of
support for Serbia given to Premier
Pashtch, It can web be seen that con-
flicting claims of .new Jugoslav and
Italy could be healed. Gugllelmo Fer-

their future ought to be decided by
plebiscite. Indeed, it a possible to
read Into the proclamation of Jugo-
slavia an interpretation of the knotty
points. Clause ninth says: 'The ter-
ritory of the Kingdomp of the Serbs,
the Croats, and the Slovenes shall be
understood to Include all lands In +1
which our people, under three names, +I
live indivisibly in great aggregates.I
The clause probably would renounce
for Jugoslav territory those places I
where Slays live In alight aggregates
compared with the Italians. In cases
of extreme ambiguity it may not be'
far fetched to suggest Intereattonal- I
Wilton for such cities as Trivet,
Flume, and Ladar, In the sense in
which Hamburg, Bremen, and Lue-
beck were to the days of the Han-
seatio League.
While the Jugoslays want unifi-
cation , they do not make any pre-
tension on the _round of historical
traditions and privileges; but they
want the creation of a state on the
principle of unity of territory, unity 1
of race and" language, and unity of
nattonal aggregates of population.1
Yet whether the greater powers, in-
cluding recalcitrant Italy, will be
satisfied or not With the purpose and
alma of this sew state, there can be
no doubt that the advent of Jugo-
slavia has already been proclaimed
in the circle of the nations." -1111 -

A New Celluloid,
About a year ago a conalderable
amount of interest was aroused In
the United States by the announce
stent that a professor In ore of the
Japanese universities had invented a
successful Incombustible substitute
for celluloid, to be manufactured
from soy bean cake. At the time ft
was not found practicable to secure
any more dedutte information with
regard to the project, but recently
father data have been received by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce. The new product has
been given the trade name of "sato-
ti drrlved from the name of the
Inventor, Prof. 8. Sato, and a com-
