PARM, Sept 20. The first Euro pean chessboard of politics, now that the Balkan war is over, is one which will strengthen the hand of Trance and together with the three years of military ' service, will tend to offset the German Army increase. What I am hinting at is) the alliance witR Spain which everybody here Is ex pecting to he (announced this fall. Relations between the people of France have never been more cordM and the alliance will be popular in both countries as an added guarantee of European peace. It is jMtd that It was origlnaHy planned by the late king Edward VII, who discussed It in detail with the yeung Spanish king, but whether this be so or not it hi certain that the proposed alli ance has no more ardent champion than King Alfonso. Show Store "Class". Americans who remember the war over Cuba, may not think very high ly of the fighting value of the Span lnsh army, but, though thl does not begin to eomp&re with either the French or German in efficiency, it must not be forgotten that it has been greatly improved during the last five years, principally because of Alfonso's great personal interest In it The soldiers are far better trained, the discipline is excellent and the short-comings are merely lack of modern artillery, which Spain tasks ready cash to buy. But France is more than willing to extend finan cial assistance with more than 300, 00 troops. Senator Berenger, who, if perhaps a little Of an alarmist, is undoubted ly a true French, patriot, has, on our eastern frontiers, discovered a new Gorman danger which threatens France 'and, as the revelation of this diaoovery has createds an entraordl nary excitement in German military circles followed by a number of at tempts to ridicule It in German mill taristlc papers, there seems to be 'a good deal more to the affair than one was at first inclined to believe. New Danger Menace. Senator Berenger points out the many facts which tend to prove that Germany, in case of war, has given up tine hazardous Idea of invading vial the Vosges Mountains, and Is now eoncentratlong her forces on - the frontier of Luxemburg, which little principality only needs tij foe crossed Bill! SOT 1ST Dl sen SMALL POX GK Claims to Be Able to Propa , gate Germs for Use In Vaccination. WISE PROPHECY OF QUEEN RECALLED Recent Events in the Balk ans Bring It Forcibly to Mind. , BK.KIAN, -fiept JO. Th (jarm of small pox, a prototoan so infinites imal that it has passed through the tninuttat filters and escaped the trained gase of mtaroscopista for de cades, haa bun finally discovered bj Dr. Waiter Fernet staff physician at the Kaiser WUhettn academy. Dr. Fornet claims not only to have dissevered the germ, buf to be able to propagate It This means that it will henceforth not be necessary to inoc ulate a calf or oow with smallpox virus In order to seoure lymph for vaiwlnatlon, and consequently that a pure culture an be secured. The lymph won by present methods con tain numerous bacteria which must be exterminated before it can be ueed for vaccination. What further Dr. Fornet's discovery May mean cannot yet be told, but.lt ojfcna the way tor experiments along tittherto unknown lines In the treatment of smallpox Apart from the (possibility that Dr. Fornet's discovery iiay result In new methods of treating email pox It fe important in that it will make pos sible the preparation of a piye vac cine virus twhich may lessen the ill results sometimes following faoctna tlon .and thus deprive the German anti-vacclnationlsts, whose number Is already very considerable and steadily increasing, of much ammunition. The German law requires the vaccination of all children In their first year and again in the twelfth, and is very rig orously enforced. Recent events in the Balkans have brought to mind the wise prophecy of which prevented uncle and 1 nephew from being arrayed against each oth er in the war Just closed by the treaty of Bucharest. In 1878, the Bulgarians, having fin ally thrown off the Turkish yoke, a matter of a few hours to 1 find a stretch on the French Northeastern frontier which Is practically defense less. Henri tBerensqer has, Siwognlto, travelled along this frontier and the adjoining German districts and has found a formidable German perman ent army entrenched in a fortified camp at Trier. What is more alarming, however,. Is the fact that he has found a railroad, not shown on even the latest of maps, and serving no ap parent commercial purpose, has been secretly built. This railroad, would enaible a German, army to penetrate (Luxemburg and attack the defenselens stretch of French frontier. Senator Berenger haa conclusively proved that Germany, within twenty-four hours from a declaration of war would be able to occupy the lino from Ixingwy to Dun-sur-Meuse with 100,009 troops and he demands that the French General Staff must Im mediately prepare to meet a midden attaNc. The little commune of Marceltex-en-Fauclgny, In the "Haute Savole, Is practically on strike. There Is neither Mayor nor Councillors. The Jaokson County Fair opened bv 1.000 acHOftl rhildran InmarmilA nm- panied by the old Confederate sol- ' fliers. Councillors resigned in a- body, and the voters refused to replace them. The cause of this municipal chaos is the resentment shown by the muni cipality and the voters . towards the local schoolmaster, who fills ' the post of mayoral secretary. The schoolmaster sticks to his office, whloh he intends to keep against all comers. For months he has fought the whole commune single-handed. In the interest of the commune, a special commission was instituted by presidential decree. One of the first 'duties'. of- the commissioners wq to preside over the cantonal elec tions. . They received the ballots of eighteen voters, and for the election of the municipal council there was only a single name on the electo ral llst-that of the schoolmaster, Who voted for himself. The tangle seems to be inextricable. There Is no giving way oh either side. With a view to overcoming this stubborn ness on one side or the other, a lo cal deputy propones to seek the Inter vention of M. Barthou, the Premier.' Excavations made hy the Bemur Society of Science at Alesla have brought to light vestiges of a vaet edifice of the Middle Ages. In the center of the principal apartment Is a fine sarcophagus, and around It are a large number of sepultures of the Merovingian epoch. The , local archaeologists believe that they hav found one of the first Christian tem ples In the district, probably the ba silica of Sante Reins, dating back from the sixth and seventh centuries. turis This dlscorvery completes the series of the successive epoohs of the ex istence of Alesla.

Among the candidates for the Bulgarian throne was Prince Walderaar, of Denmark, then but twenty-one years old. The oholoe finally fell upon Prince Alex ander, of Battenberg. , Alexander abdicated seven years later 4nd the Bulgarian government oegan negotiations with the DanUi royal family to saure Wldemr M king, The negotiation came ' to naught through the energetlo opposi tion of the queen of Denmark, "The nationality and the Interests of the Greeks and the- Bulgarians," she said, "are so diametrically opposed that lasting understanding between them is impossible, ilonce, It could hap pen that the two brothers, one from Athens (King George, eldest brother Of Waldetnar), and one from Sofia, would be compelled to become ene mies and to wage war upon each oth er. It is for us to prevent tnis ter- rible possibility with ths means at our command Our son In Athens shares our view." The Bulgarians nevertheless elected Waidemar king, He refused the elec tion, and ten months later Ferdinand, of Saxe-Coburg-Goths, was elected. The efforts of the Prussian and Saxon ministers of war to secure the co-operation of chambers of corn meres' in obtaining places in business for retired army officers, coivaerning which reference was mads in these dispatches some time ago, continues to excite the opposition and Indigna tion or business organisations in Ger many, ' In' the circulars sent out toy the ministers, commerleal Interests see not only a campaign to crowd regular business men out of lines of promo tion, but also a decided reflection Up on business life. They resent the cool assumption that a man who has been found not good enough for the high er commands In - the army Is, never theless, fully competent to occupy t responsible business position. The Senior Merchant's guild of Berlin has adopted a condemnatory set of reso lutions, In which It Is pointed out that few retired officers could, at their sgc, acquire the theoretical and prac tical knowledge required of them, and that they are.jBTs rule, no longer able to adapt ttibWelve to a new calling. Only, In a few branches of snanufac turing, in whloh engineer and artil lery officers can utilise knowledge ac quired In their military service, does the guild see any profpect of success. In answer to the contention of the ministers that eu:vh officers are espec ially fitted for position flf trust en tailing the management of men, the guild points out that full technical or special knowledge is required precise ly In such positions, and that com mercial firms hwe no lack ef em ployes, trained for years In their own offices, who have both the character and the Intelligence to fill higher po sitions satisfactorily, it would not be fair to these men If outsiders were taken in and promoted over their head. Moreover, it is argued, the of ficers would bs sbls to acespt lower salaries on account of their pensions and thus cut down the standard of payment for all. The Berlin municipality, In addition to Its other lines of business and so cial activity, aha decided to o Into the milk business, and beginning Oc tober t it will undertake to supply the poor of a part of Borlln with milk from Its own farms. The municipality has been forced into this business the results of a year's Investigation of tho milk sup plied the board of charities through private dealers. Frequent complaint of the quality of the milk supplied had been1 received, and teats In the dtty laboratory surprised even ithe critics. The milk was far below stand ard, both In richness and cleanliness The board of charities first attempted to remedy this condition by depriv ing all derelict milkmen of their con tracts to supply the poor. But even this drastic pro-twdure did not result In material improvement, th dealers being toound up by Ion tlms con tracts with outside dairymen who oould not be reached by the municipal authorities. , It was then decided to establish an experiment dairy on one of the muni cipal farms In the outskirts of the city and supply from this the poor1 of one district. The municipality will not engage In delivering milk, hut will turn over the product of its dairy to one of the regular milk firms for this purpose. If the experiment is suc cessful, the system will bs extended to other districts of the city, TO COTJIIT MARTIAfc OFFICEJM. WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.
