'"We are not so hospitable to all

Important changes in Jhe map of Eur

"You can see," continued Mr. Petro

position of Serbia,1 With- the Turks on
the one hand longing to conquer what
they lost;- the Austrians on the other
hand, urged by the Germans, whose
own expansion could only take place
by pushing the Austrians into posses
sion of all the Slav kingdoms of .the
Balkans, thus leaving free the German
provinces of Austria for Germany.
There is no doubt to our mind that
Germany has had' the idea of absorbing
the dual monarchy of Austria-Hun
gary, thus dreaming of a kingdom ex
tending from, the shares of the North
Sea to the Agean at Solonika., the Bos
phoros and the Sea of Mamora at Con
stantinople, and reaching out to -a. su- f

worked to achieve ths end, nft- of the

has ;ever promoted her , designs. A
part t of the plan always has been to
keep the states of the Balkans from
any , federation ; or cohesion-, among
themselves. This might have been
more difficult 'had; not. several of the
states had German princes for rulers.

NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION BEGINS
ANNTJAL CONVENTION
' Th first settlement at New Orleans
was founded by Jean Baptist le
Moine de Bienville, a Frenchman of
Canadian birth, who was born in
Montreal 235 years ago today, Feb.
23, 1680. . He was one of the eleven
sons of Charles le Molne, a native of
Normandy, who settled in . Canada
and became commander of Montreal.
Seven of the sons became prominent
in the history of the French conquest
of North America. Bienville, with
his brother Iberville,, founded the
French; empire on the Lower Missis
sippi and the Gulf of Mexico, and
the dty. of New Orleans is a monu
ment to Bienville's lasting glory. It
was in 1718 that he laid the founda
tion of the-future metropolis of the
south. : The Crescent City soon as
sumed a considerable importance,
and within a few years its popula-
tlon was augmented by the arrival of
a company of Germans, who had pre
viously settled on the Arkansas. The
roost- welcome addition to Bienville's
town, however, was a party of eighty
.girls from a Paris house of correc
tion, who arrived In charge of three
nuns, and ' speedily found husbands.
Another cargo of girls arrived from
Franc in 1728, and, becoming wives
and mothers, helped to wm for New
Orleans its proud place as the .me
tropolis of the gulf coast. :.

today's gathering was art address by
Prof. A. F. Blakeslee, of the agricul

charts the speaker showed that a hen
which had a peachy white ear lobe
hen with over thirty per cent, yellow
was as certainly not laying. The yel
lower the ear .lobes the longer since
she laid her last egg. V ' .
Plymouth Rocks, "Wyandotte ' and
Rhode Island Reds do not have yellow
ear lobes but the speaker had charts
to show that in such breeds the color
of the -legs and- beak formed nearly as
good a test as the . .color of the ear lobe
in picking out good layers. In select
ing hens foA breeders, the speaker sug
gested picking out only those' that
were pale in ear lobes, legs and beak.
