BULGARIANS IN LONDON.
Would Rather Fight for England Than
Own Country.
With war between England andBul-
garia, one may see in London the curi-
ous spectacle of Bulgarian citizens in
British uniform. Seine of them, in,
the light blue, hospital uniform, which
is worn by the wounded, have return-
ed from fighting in Flanders, and
others have just enlisted and are
about to go to the front.
Most of these Bulgarians have had
an ardent admiration for England
and Have, without becoming natural
ized, contrived to enlist in the Cana-
dian force. The Bulgarian colony in
London is not large, but it is said that
most of the Bulgarians of military
age are enlisted in the army.
Mayors of London used to be elect-
ed for life.

NOTES AND COMMENTS
German militarism has always
trained and prepared itself to secure
an immediate result. Frederick the
Great established the German tra-
dition,' which has been maintained.
and enlarged 'ever since. Frederick
the Great's father had died in ' 1740,'
leaving his son a standingarniy of
80,000 ',Men highly trained, and better
than those of any of his neighbors.
IIe pretended to discover a plot
against him and suddenly launched his
ariliy against those of Austria, com
pletely defeating them, and annexing
Silesia, by which Prussia got an in-.
valuable territory, rich in iron and
coal,
Austria mule peace, but a Tittle
later Frederick :found out, or pre-
tenclecl tofind out, that a coalition
was. forming' against hien, and again
jumped upon Austria before she was
ready, and opened the Seven Years",
War, which spread to England and
France, and cost France Canada
among. other colonies. Austria ,sue,
seeded in arraying against Frederick,
Russia, France, Saxony, and Sweden,
but the Allies did root co=operate; and
Frederick was able to do- what the
Germans have been trying. to do in
the present campaign, rash troops
from one side of the kingdom to the
other to defeat his enemies in detail.
Frederick was a wise old despot,
greatly developed his country, and
when he died left a regular army of
200,000 well-trained men, which be-
came a force that all Europe had to
keep well in minx].
Napoleon caught Prussia u114WAree
by his superior quickness and ability.
The Prussian army had become,
through its aristocratie control; badly
dry -rotted when Napoleon struck ft
with his enthusiastic Republican Vol-
unteers. Prussia's defeat was com-
plete and pronomaced; but there came
later an uprising of the people and
again Prussia 'helped force a quick de -1
cision at Waterloo. In 1864 Prussia
and Austria descended upon Schles-
wig-Holstein and brought about Den-
mark's quick defeat.
In 1866 Prussia With everything in
complete readiness jumped upon Aus-
tria, Who was only getting ready, and
in seven weeks forced her to a humili-
ating peace }n which Austria was ex-
pelled from the German Confedera-
allowing Prussia to become the'
head of the New Entente. This was
followed four years later by Prussia
catching France similarly unprepared,
and crushed her in a war which lasted
only from July, 1870, until January,
1871. In reality France was crushed
inside of three months.
Germany had hoped to•repeat these
uicl contests iia the present war
q e
She expected to crush France before`
England and Russia could come to her
assistance and then jump, as Freder-
ick the Great had done, upon the other
Allies, and defeat then] in succession.
The history of the war, however, has
been a grave disappointment to the
German militarists who have not sue-
cceded in seeming a decision any-
where, although they have had most
astonishing successes.

GERMAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY.
Lack of ]taw Material, Cotton, and
Other Products.
Regarding conditions in the textile
industry in Germany, a correspondent
writes to the Paris Temps, as follows;
"The Central Union of Christian
Textile Workers and the German Tex-
tile Workers' Union, two of the great-
est labor organisations m Germany,
have recently held a conference for
the discussion of the grave crisis
menacing their industry. After as-
certaining the enact situation, n re-
medial programme wae'agreed upon,
which will be submitted for approval
to the authorities of Elberfeld, Clar-
men• and other industrial centres in
Rhenish Prussia and Westphalia. The
fundamental cause for the crisis is a
lack of raw material, cotton and other
h re are not suf-
ficient
which there rrodt

numerous hills in operation. The
steadily decreasing import trade,
which may soon cease altogether,

on The official sequestra-
tion
mit s}twat q
tion of the raw materials in all Ger-
ineny and their subsequent redistri-
bution by the, government have only
tided over matters temporarily, • Soon
it will be necessary to reduce opera-
tions still further, either by discharg-
ing part of the workers or by cutting
down the hours o1 labor.
"In this crisis, which affects hun-
dreds of tlrous'ands of textile work-
ers, their organisations have invoked
the aid of the government and local
authorities, :Che demands presented
include; the employment of idle men
en public works, the procurement of
knitting and sewing Wor:lc for the wo-
men, the furnishing of temporary fin-
ant}al assistance to ' those without
any means, the payment of insurance
premiums for ;r11 who are unable to
keep up their policies themselves and

tive'council to look after all these de-
tails.

TREATING FORBIDDEN.
Has Caused a Decrease in Drinking
Among London Women. •
The no -treating law now enforced
in the London district will, from pre-
sent indications, greatly decrease
drinking an1ong women, for it is
among the women of the lower classes
that treating is the most prevalent.
Even in the most poverty-stricken
slums of the East End, a woreani who
drinks by herself is considered mean,
greedy and unsocial and sheis ac-
cordingly ostracized: The only social

often children tend to the babies
while the mothers and grandmothers
are inside:
The no -treating order went into
' effect in the West End and in the more
respectable parts of London without a
protest. It was taken as a joke, and
the public houses Were. crowded with
men buying then last treat. But in
i the East End, actual resentment was
felt, chiefly among the women. They
regarded it as at blow at their main

Settlement workers count en taking
advantage of the new lignor r.•egula-
tions by starting more social halls. A
number of these are to operation in
the slums trove, and their popularity
is growing. They were especially de-
signed ,for soldiers and their girls as
a cheap place to spend an evening.
The halls are provided with pianos
and games, and tea and other soft

FR ,NCH LINE
The Bulgarians Were, Driven Zack,
Bearing Arany Dead and
Wounded.
The Saalonica>•'correspondent' 61 the
London Daily Mall telegraphs as fel-
low's; The French retook the ,offen-
sive and threw back the -Bulgarians,
taking a majority of the positions lost
on the ICrivolal Cerner Rajec line. The
Bulgarians had tried to force the
French lines with full strength, and.
had left in the rear no covering
troops so that a vigorous French
counterattack forced.. them to with•
draw hurriedly, leaving a considerable
number of dead and wounded.
A Small squadron of French aero•
planes bombarded the Bulgarian
lege of Strumitsa with great suceest
and reached its base uninjured.
The Serbian army is continuing it:

ing Prilep• The Austrian forces art
marching on Uskub.
British reinforcements are contiiru•
ing to disembark. The Bulgarian
press is unanimous in declaring that
after the occupation of Serbian Mace-
donia the Bulgarian array will have
brought its mission to an end, but
Bulgaria in no way is disposed to-
ward fresh sacrifices the advantage
of which is not apparent. Bulgarian
public opinion seems uneasy at the
presence of Turkish forces in Thrace.
Fite Turkish divisions are at Sun},
one at Mustafa Pasha, one •dt Varna
and one ,it Burgas.
On the other hand the Turkish
press states that the question of
Thrace will lie definitely settled with
the support of Germany, for Thrace,
contrary to the declarations made by
Premier Radoslavoff, of Bulgaria,
should fall to Turkey.
INSTRUCTION IN LANGUAGES.
Englishmen Are Learning Polish and
Balkan Dialects.
Classes in Russian, French and
Spanish are prospering in London a.s
never before.. It is recognized that
Germany's great gains in trade were
due largely to the pains German
clerks and business men took to ac-
quire foreign languages. Special
courses in the Slav tongue, including
I Polish and the Balkan dialects, are
noir established at King's College,
, University of London. T. G. Masarylr,
, professor of philosophy in the Czech
University of Prague and formerly a
prominent politician in the Austrian
Parliament, is the head of the school.
Instructima in the languages will be
accompanied by, lectures in Slavonic
history and literature. Spanish is
rather the latest to be taken up; just
as Russian was the first after the mit-
t of the war. The Welsh people,
Ion aceount of being bilingual, are the
cleverest students in language and
