BABOUNSKY A ROBIN HOOD
Power of Guerilla Chief Regarded
as Almost Supreme Throughout
Turkish Portion of Serbia.
TERROR OF THE EVIL DOER
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
OKVUHEL1, Serbia. Dec. SO. One of the
most picturesuque figures of the Euro
pean war Is the Serbian "komitadjl" or
guerilla Ivan etolkovltch, known to fame
aa Babounsky. Tha name Is drawn from
the Babouna pasa, where recently the
Serbs so long held the invading Bul
garians at bay. Ivan Btolkovitch comes
from that part of Serbia and la t hem
fore known to his followers and to the
Serbian population at large by a nick
name indicating the fact.
A slight man. tall, with honest gray-
blue eyes and tha pale featurea of a
student, he Impresses the stranger with
anything but the terror which his name
Inspires. Nor do his looks belie hla real
profession. For the redoubtable Baboun
sky was a srhool teacher until fired by
an ardent patriotism he gave up his i
classea to gather about him a band of
Intrepid spirits In the fight for the re
lease of the Turkish part of Serbia from
the Ottoman' yoke.
Ever since the first Balkan war ha and
his followers have been tinder arms.
Unrecognized by the laws of war, they
have taken their own rlaks of capture
and instant execution. Their refuge la
in tha Serbian mountains, and they have
been willing to truat their security to
their own astuteness and the impreg
nability of their numerous hiding places.
Sort of Robin Hood,
During the bref periods separating the
first Balkan war from the aecond and
the second Balkan war from the present
European struggle, the Internal admin
istration of Serbia waa in such a state
of disorder that it seemed to Babounsky
better to retain his band under arms and
to assist in the administration of a rough
and ready Justice than to send his fol
lowers to their own firesides. In this
capacity even in the short Intervals of
peace he kept hla name aa a kind of
modern Robin Hood, the friend of the
weak and the terror of the evil doer.
Especially since the complete break
down of the Serbian administration fol
lowing the flight of the government to
Scutari, has Babounsky become a per
sonage of prima Importance in Serbia.
Before the advancing German and Bul
garian armies, town after town was
evacuated. Sometimes the Inhabitants
were able to make a few of their be
longings with them; more often they
were force to leave with the clothes
they wore as their only possessions. But
especially in the southern part of Serbia.
where the greater part of the inhabitants
are really of Turkish or Bulgarian ex
traction, only the Serbs fled and the
Turks and the Bulgarians remained.
While watting for the arrival of the
armies of their compatrlota, they were
not averse to going through the deserted
Serbian dwellings and acquiring a few
useful articles.
Quickly Disposed Of.
Babounsky did not approve of this.
Naturally the deserted dwellings and all
in them would fall into the hands of tha
conquerors. That was all right the
chance of war. But that former neigh
bors should do the looting was not In
Babounsky's code. And those who tried
It were dealt with In a most summary
manner.
Whoever, among the Bulgarians was
suspected of giving information to the
advancing Bulgar armies aleo received
short shrift. A story is told of the first
Balkan war when a certain pseudo-Serb
known aa Kechko was suspected of
treason to the Serbian cause. Baboun
sky's band appeared upon the scene one
night and Kechko and four othera were
arrested, tried In secret by the band at
midnight and aenUnred to be sent to
Salonikl, that is, taken to the banka of
the Vardar river, stubbed and thrown
in. their bodlea to drift down with the
current to Salonikl. All five were lined
upon the bank. Babounsky pave the signal
for the fatal blowa to be struck. But un
fortunately Kecku'a executioneer, a law
yer from Belgrade, had never killed a
man Iff ore and hla hand slipped. The
(ive bodies were thrust into the Vardar.
hut Kechko waa atill alive.
A week later the Perblan consul at Ka
lonlki waa called to the hrwpital
Kechko told him the story of his escape
from death, hut begged that it bo kept
secret until after hla departure for the
United States. Ultimately recovered from
the unskillful atab of the Belgrade law
yer, Kechko quietly departed for Amer
ica where he lives still, unterrlfled by the
famous guerilla.
Whenever the allied troopa have need of
fresh meat or wood or mules one of the
officers acquaints a Serbian with what
is required. The next day twenty sheep,
two cords of wood or 100 mules are
brought into Kegotln or Kaphadar aa the
case may be by a Serbian peasant. The
peasant collects an equitable sum for
the goods delivered and In time each
Serbian who haa been involuntarily levied
upon for lamb or wood or mule recelvea
his payment. Babounsky doea not even
keep a commission.
When, too, either Serb or Bulgar in
ore of the towns occupied by tha allied
troops behaves in a grasping or dishonest
way towards the French or tha British
it la not long before the punishment ar
rive. The punishment may take various
forms, from death for treason to a
doxen ilowa with a stout stick for cheat

ing one of Serbia's allies. The punish
ments, however, ere rare. Babounsky'a i
reputation is too well known.
The manic phra.se: "Listen, my friend
I shall aee that Babounsky hears of this,"
generally has its effect.
Redfield Points to
A Great Prosperity,
But Sounds Warnin
TVASHINOTON. Jan. 7 -Secretary Red
field in a memorandum on business con
ditions transmitted to President Wilson
today, pictured the country as in the
most prospermia state of ita history. The
warning Is added though that war'a In
flation of commerce will last only until
the war ends and that business foresight
alone will prepare the United States for
peace.
The slump that will follow the war
abroad, the secretary's summary de
clares, milst find Americans ready to
take their share of the world's trade un
hampered by provincial notions. False
values created by unusunl conditions, he
fears, may lull the United States Into a
fancied commercial security.
"it Is not expected," the secretary says,
"that our business movement will con
tinue In its present form. No one dreams
that we can now or in the future main
tain an export movement of more than
five billions actual value, or that we may
sanely expect an apparent net balance In
our favor on merchandise transactions
of three billlona in any one year.
"It la alike Impossible and undesirable
that these things continue. It Is Impos
sible for no other reaaon than because
the world has not the power to pay any
one nation auch vast sums for any long
period in addition to the waste of war.
The nations are not apending their ln
corne in our markets, but their capital,
and vast as it is, there are limits to
which the continuance of the proceases
Is undesirable, for it would mako us the
mldaa among the nations and produce a
moral overstrain that would be danger
ous." PUT YOUR THINKING CAP ON
Did 'oa Ever Hear of an lucMan
Ilavlna; t'ornef The Why
a ad Wherefore.
"The aboriginal Indian who wrapped
hides about Ms feet and tied them there
to resist the winter's rigors showed that
he had a more intelligent regard for Ms
hard-worked pedals than the woman of
today who toddles about on high-heeled,
pointed-toed shoes. Vou never road of an
Indian having corns or any other foot
trouble, do you?"
Thua spoke Dr. Maurice J. Lewi In the
course of an Interview In the New York
Tribune. Dr. Lewi Is an authority on
chiropody.
"Why, here In our clinic every evening,"
continued Dr. Iewl, "nearly two-thirds
of our patients are women. There are
several reasons for this. Women nat
u rally have more pride in their appear
ance than men and want unsightly joints
straightened and so on, and again, men
s re not ordinarily given to the jrro
tesquely shaped shoes that tho manufac
turers have been turning out by the
million pairs for female consumption.
particuarly during the last few year
since the dancing crsie struck the coun
try.
"With heels rained two or three Inches
from the ground, toea all crushed into a
little ball by a short vamp, a sole that
is too thin and a shank that is absolutely
rigid, is it any wonder that after a few
month' hard usage the fuot rebels and
arivea tne owner to seeK reuec rrom a
chiropodist
"The revived craze for ice skating calls
for low-heeled, broad-toed uhocs, and
while these are the nearest to ideal foot
wear when properly constructed, it ii
found that they cause much discomfort
to feet unaccustomed to them.
"The reason is not far to seek. Con
statit pounding along on three-Inch heela
has so contracted the muscles of the
epreyed-out toea that when the heel Is
let down to somewhere around a normal
level, the toea drawn back and the knee
straightened, the unused muscles cry out
at the unfamiliar motions.
rNaverinriesN, 1001 covering or sorm
sort Is Imperative in this climate and In
the city, and if a shoe must be worn, tho
modnrately low-heeled, broad-toed va
riety is is the one best calculated to give
comfort and service. If such shoes were
universally worn nine-tenth of the foot
ailments of the day would disappear,
moat of the chiropodists would go out
of business and there would he llttl
work for schools of chiropody.
Besidea vlcioua ahocii, the cause of
much foot dUromfort is badly made
stockings with thick rios and seams in
the wrong place. If In addition theae
happen to be a halfaize too short, the
results are most unhappy to the wearer.
If they are too long they will wrinkle
and irritate the tender skin beneath and
lo! a little csloBity will appear, sent out
by nature to act aa a buffer. If thia, per
chance, is on the sole of the foot, it
rapidly spreads and shortly the victim
goes limping along feeling aa though the
bones were coming through his soles to
the pavement and fancying he has an at

SYSTEMS OF EDUCATION
English, American and German
Three Great Representa
tive Types.
BRITISH THE MORE COMPLEX
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MANCHESTER. England, Jan. I.-Thei
merita and defects of the Entiliah sys
tem of education formed the aubject of
recent lecture here by Vice Chancellor
M. E. Sadler of Leeds university, who
spoke of the English, the American and
the German as the three great repre
sentative types, each typlcsl of a differ
ent point of view.
Germany stands for unity baaed on the
state, the United States for variety based
on the individual and the British empire
for an attempt at moral unity based
partly on individual experience, partly on
Inherited tradition and partly on adminis
trative organisation, said Prof. Sadler.
All three face tho same human problem.
and each has learned from the other
two. But Germany and the United States
work on simpler theories and have the
advantage of a simpler aim. The British
view is the more comple. and British
education when It falla below Its best Is
less effective In accomplishing Its aim
than the others.
British education, especially the En
glish at Its best, ia stronger than Ita
rivals In the development of personal
character. The care that the Gerwtana
have lavished In Intellectual attainments
and the Americana have spent in fusing
together the diverse elements of their
population has been given In England to
questions of personal conduct and char
acter. British schools have been at least
as successful as the othera In fostering
the will to sacrifice life and limb In
times of national peril. But they have
not been as successful aa the German In
producing tha conviction that daily sacri
fice must be made by the Individual for
the welfare of the community. On the
Intellectual aide, Prof. Sadler found that
with certain brilliant exceptions, British
education Is feeble as compared with tha
German, but not as with the American.
The gravest defect in British education.
according to the lecturer, la the absence
of an exacting standard in the training
of the mind as contrasted with the train
ing of conduct. As the result, the im
portance of general knowledge and the
value of pure science as applied to the
needs of life and Industry Is not appre
ciated. The capricious and caaual way
in which parents select schools, without
understanding the needa of their chil
dren: the failure of the schools to stimu
late the intellectual Interests of boys and
glrla of average capacity, which reaulta
in a wastage of the mental powers of the
nation and Indifference toward science
alike in industry, public administration
and domestic management.

GOVERNMENT OWNED
ROADJS SUCCESS
Reclamation Service Builds Line
Twenty-Five Miles Long- Capital
ist Refused to Consider.
ITS BUSINESS INCREASING
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. Smcr-sa-fnTopcration
cf a aovrrnnient-owned
railroad, which private Interests
could not b persuaded lo build, la
causing much satisfaction to Interior
department officials. The line, ex
tending; twenty-five miles from
Yuma, Arli.. to the Mexican bound
ary line through th Yuma valley,
has been In operation dally since
February and has carried 300,000
tons of rock besides frequent ship
ments of other freight, which are lu
creanlng. Passenger traffic has been
light, owing to the unpopulated re
gion through which the road runs,
but considerable progress has been
made In the settlement of the coun
try and a townalte eighteen miles
from Yuma has been opened.
Construction of the railroad, the second
government-owned line, was deemed a
necessity by offlciale or the United States
reclamation service. They had been un
succeesful In efforts to interest private
capital, which conaldered the prospect
doubtful for the pamen even of its ex
penses. As a system of rock revetment
waa required by the Yuma valley re
clamation project the engineers decided
the material could be placed economically
only by use of a track laid upon the levee
which protects the Yuma valley from the
overflow of the Colorado river. Work
waa begun April !, l!Ut. and tno iirst
spike driven May 1 of that year. The an
nual summer floods of U'14 delayed con
struction work, but It wss completed to
the Mexican boundary in February. 1913.
The line la twenty-five and one-half
mllea long. Including sidings.
Equipment of the road consists of a
gasoline motor car bearing In )old letters
tha inscription: "United Mates Reclama
tion Kervlce, Yuma Valley Line." The
car carries seventy passengers and makee
regular trips dally to tne boundary and
return from Yuma. A contract haa beon
made with a transcontinental railroad for
Joint use of tracks at Turn. Carload
shipments destined for the Yuma valley
are taken over by the reclamation service
and carried on Its line, charges being reg
ulated by tha Interstate Commerce com
mission.
IT WAS A WHALE OF A YARN
Captain of the M'ladjaaamer Telia
Hot Shipwrecked Sailors
Wer Waved.
Was It a nightmare of some Dutch
painter? Well, It looked like one, but
really was an old square rigged ship-
blunt bows, and paint wss only a mem
ory. It came to anchor In the bay some
days ago the Lena Opfergeld, of Am
sterdam.
Tha captain, short, goo natured and
brown aa mahogany, spoke Kngllsh well,
as most of the Dutch can when they come
tn contact, with the world. Nothing ever
gets by the Dutch. And the captain hove
hla boarding irons onto a tssty glaea ef
schnapps.
'Well, you see, we were st Rstavia,
Sumatra," mused tha captain, ''taking on
a cargo of tabacco spice and miscel
laneous stuff, when we received orders
to go to Melbourne, Australia, then to
Honolulu and fill out our cargo and
round the Horn to New York.
'We started In good shape, and all
went well until we were about longitude
i: west, latitude 20 south, when the
winds seemed to give out snd we only
barely moved. Friday night the anlmuls
got uneasy we had a dog and cat for
luck and the barometer dropped like
lead. We made everything snug and
tight, soon we were running before the
wind under bare poles to the southwest.
There was a small coral Island ahead,
surrounded by barrier reefs, and the
Island Itself an atoll, with water Inside.
"All ws could do was to run ahead of
the wind, and by some chance we entered
the open roadway Into the enclosed bay
and In a few mlnutea had an anchor out
and by good luck had a good hold.
"The next morning Is cleared up no
breeze and a dead calm again. Karly in
the day a boat mads from the shore, and,
believe me, there was Koblnson Cruaoe
and three Fridays only they were
Portuguese and all of them were good
Pictures for a circus. Our cook could
speak Portuguese, snd soon we bad their
story.
"Captain Friday, as we choso lo can
him, related Ilia story, which, shortened
up. was aa follows:
"We left Honolulu,' said Captain Fri
day. 'In a two-masted schooner for a
cruise among the Islands to gather copra
and ahells. It was the old story a gale
and a wreck. Out of a crew of seven
four suceeded In getting to the Island,
and there was llttlo there except brack
ish water and a few walms. Food wss
scarce, except shellfish and fish,'
Captain Frldav waa a man of educa
tion and a botanist, ao wus able to use
quite a lot of edible seaweeds for food.
'We were fortunate In having saved
a lot of the wre:k of tho schooner
pumps, some barrela, hose, sails, etc.
but lost all our compasses, also sur
chronometers, and to try to reach un
known parte was foolhsrdy.
"'After some months had passed and
no sails In sight to get away, fata blew
one good thing our way another big gale,
and to our surprise next day we found
a big cow whale and a calf with her.
We knew we had meat for at least some
time. We decided to kill tne calf and dry
the meat, which la very much like coarse
bee.f and very nourlahing. Tha water in
he lagoon was not more than seven fath
oms deep, and while the old cow could
swim around the island for some miles
she seemed to miss the opening to the
sea. After lots of work we managed to
kill tha calf and gt the meat dried for
future use.
' 'The old cow seemed very much wor
ried over the loaa of the youog one and
cams each evening to the shallow cove,
with a good beach, where we had killed
tha calf, and we noticed that ahe would
;us.k a lot of good milk from her overfill
udder.
' 'The aecond day we succeeded In sav
ing a lot of tha milk by using a rubber
boas with one of the pumpa at the other
end, and would fill from two to five bar
rels each day. So we had plenty of good
fresh milk and crsam. and lu a short
time we had butter in plenty, but could
not make rheeae, lacking knowledge and
rennet to do so.
" 'This milking of the a hale seemed to
afford her great relief, and somehow to
Lake the plas of the calf, as far as her
feelings aeie concerned, and soon she
aas quits t!mr nnd cnn'lnued tn .one
each evening to he milked.'
"t'splaln Krhlny exprexurd his desire
t return to the inland nanln and try n
take a drove of nhnlce and slnrt a can
ning factory for condensed milk, and I

(This Is Talk No. 11 of a
of Real
kNot to Sell
There are people who are inclined to discount th
statements s real estate man makes about any
properly. "Ob." they say, "he Is trying to sell ms
a house."
As a matter of fact, the reliable, progressive real
estate man does not make his sole aim to sell to
you. He is trying to serve you.
The established real estate man will not sell yon
a house that you cannot afford, or one that is not
HUltable to you for any other reason. He has too
much at otake.
If he does not have a property such as you re
quire In his own lists, he will refer to the properties
Unfed by his fellow brokers to find tbe one best
suited to your needs.
If you are not ready lo buy, he will tell you.
Among representaiive brokers it Is considered a dis
grace to have a property "come back" snd they will
not sell where this 1 a possibility.
All the important facts about real estate, that he
has learned through year3 of experience, the broker
puts at your command.
He realizes that he id a profeaslonal man, in the
personal relation that be bears to his client. Many
people, today, look to their real estate broker for
advice with as much confidence as they do to their
attorney or to their family physician.
As a result, the real estate man is making him
self worthy of this confidence. Leading real estate
mt n of this and many other cities have formulated
a code of ethics, just as severe as those of the doctor
or lawyer.
These ethics clearly define the duties of the
broker to his client; the duties of the broker to tbe
pronpectlve buyer, and the duties of the broker to
his fellow broker.
Taken together, they form your strongest protec
tion against dissatisfaction in any real estate trans
action. You get the benefit of this protection whenever
ou buy or sell property by consulting with an es
tablished, reliable real estate firm.
