Frothingham Institute Has
Had Sad Experiences In
Finding Resting Place.
Raloiiiki, Feb. 15. The Frothing
ham Children's Institute has ended its
lent! anabasis in Salonlki. The clean
white-wnllcd building, so full of light I
and flowers, that was planned for erec
tion in Belgrade does not exist. The
sufficient endowment carefully placed,
that should ensure the education and
rearinB of a hundred Serbian boys and
trlrls, orphans of the three wars that
have destroyed their fatherland,
scarcely serves to provide three-tenths
in the side yard of the Kusslan hos
pital at Salonlki, and nourishment for
lime, tried in the lire of sacrifice and
in the day's work. Old before their
thirty-nine Serbian children to whom
the wretched miseries of war are all
suffering, the thirty-nine set up their
common house for the fourth time
within a month and hung up the
American lings they have brought with
them through all their wanderings as
cheerfully as If the world had not
crumbled under their tiny feet. .
For when John W. Frothingham of
Tarrytown and Albert White of New
York nnd a group of their friends con
reived and formed the Frothingham
Children's Institute of Serbia, no one
;lrcamed of the ruin and desolatiou
that has fallen upon the country since.
It is true that, na Serbia was at war
sith Austria and Belgrade somewhat
loo exposed to attack or bombard
ment, the tlrst resting place of the in
ititute temporarily, at least was Us
kub. Then, when the capital was
moved to Nlsh, it was thought best to
establish the institute there. The
thirty-nine youngsters In their boy
icout and gli'l-guido uniforms obedi
ently moved the yet meagre belong
ings of the Institute of Nish. They
remained there Just three days. It
Wns evident almost from tho first mo
ment that the Serbian army could not
hold even this temporary capital
Hint It wug a mistake to l'ave brought
the children there that It would be
far wiser to eend them aa far to tho
rear aS possible that they might re
main in peace. So the Frothingham
Children's institute moved a second
time this time to Ghovgheli, almost
on the Greek frontier.
They, remained in Ghevheli just
three weeks. The implacable advance
of the Bulgars slowly drew its net
around tho eager but Inadequate
Kronen force that had been sent to
tho help of tho Serbs. The Hritish
reinforcements, daily expected, remain
tranquility in Kaloniki awaiting orders
from London, falling which they could
only play the role of critical spectators
of Serbia's death i-itrugglc. The King
of the Greeks held the leash of his
army, while the Serbs and the French
withdrew step by step from Belgrade,
from Nlsh, from ITskuh, from Velcs
and finally from Uhevghell and Ser
bian soil.
The children of tho Frothingham
institute wero dispatched to Salonlki
in time. Unlike thousands of their
compatriots they were able to trans
port the white metal beds of tho
youngsters, cases of clothes and pro
visions, and tho American sewing ma
chines, which purr today in the "work
tcJif of tlv Institute under the hands
of refugee women fashioning bed tick
ing for the straw mattresses of the
thousands of destitute women and
children, less fortunate than the or
phans of the Frothingham institute.
Tho head of the Frothingham Chil
dren's institute, in Its final tent homo.
is a plump little woman of pleasant
features Dora Groultch, known to
her charges by the affectionate dimin
utive of her given name, "Durlnka,''
and her secretary and first aid Is Mar-
celle Heed, of Jjcgrande, Oregon, who
with her hair and her skirt cut short
and her high, mud-covered Serbian
boots, her flannel shirt and broad-
brimmed cowboy hat, la one of tho
busiest persons in this world of dis
aster.
"If only we could ever get settled
somewhere," the latter exclaimed,
"we'll begin the work for ,whlch tho
institute was founded. Just now It Is
about all we can do to keep body and
soul together tor tho kiddles. If ever
we do get started properly the Idea !s
to teach them English and the history
of the United States In the mornings,
and Serbian and arithmetic and other
difficult things in the afternoon. Julia
Sabine of New York, und I are to have
the morning work, at least as a start
er, while the afternoon work will be
looked after by competent Serbian
teachers. Now, about all we ran do Is
to try to see that they are clean and
worm nnd dry and to keep them
from going hungry."

Washington, Feb. 13. That Gcr

"Whether she offered $0,000,1100 or
$12,000,000 or $20,000,000, I do not
know. We have no means of knowing.
That Germany was actuated by the
wimo motives In seeking this canal
route that France had in the original
Panama enterprise is apparent to
every one. Personally, I thipk it would
bo tho great political disadvantage of
the Cnlted States for any European
government to have control of a canal
route acrobs tho Pan-American isthmus."
