1 MID-EUROPEAN
UNION LATEST
t ORGANIZATION
_i _
:x;x There is a new committee in Wash
ingtnn which has a program that is
one of the deepest and most respon
sihle that has been undertaken by
any group of men since the beginning
of the war. It is called the Demo
Icratic Mid-European, and it has
! just opened the doors of its new head
•>: quarters in the McBachlcn building.
! at Tenth and (1 streets, its president
is Dr Thomas (1. Masaryk, who is
! also president of the Czecho-Slovak
$: National Council. Its executive dl
i rector is Herbert Adolphus Miller,
formerly professor of sociology In
X: Oberlin college, and for many years
a close student of the races of middle
:ij: Europe.
j Briefly, the purpose oi'^the Demo
I cratic Mid-European Union is to ef
jjji feet a unity of effort among the op
pressed nations of central Europe,
to smooth out and adjust their dlf
ferences, and to provide a common
council chamber where their repre
sentatives may meet together and
discuss their problems from time to
time.
Seven Groups Represented
There are seven groups already rep
resented in tlie union—the Czecho
slovaks. the Boles, the Rumanians,
the Jugo-SIavs. the Cithunalans, the
Ukrainians and the Italian Irredent
ists. Other nations will be admitted
later if they seek representation—the
Betts. Finns. Esthonians. Albanians,
unredeemed Greeks and others. Even
tln> Bulgarians, if they show a thor
ough change of heart and a desire to
subscribe lo the aims of the federa
tion. will not find the way barred to
them.
To begin with, the new organization
will hold meetings every other
Wednesday. Special sessions will be
called whenever important questions
of the moment seem to demand them.
The men who sit about the council
table will he accredited representa
tives of the different official national
committees and councils which have
been formed by those peoples since
the beginning of the war. Each group
will have one vote. The expenses of
the committee will be met by nil of
them, each nationality contributing a
fraction proportionate to the numbers
of its population. At present about
(15.00(1.000 people will he informally
represented by the delegates nt the
bi-weekly meetings.
Union of Recent Formation
The idea of (his important federn
tion has been in the minds of some
of Its members for a very long time.
Hut active steps to form it were only
taken about three weeks ago. at a
•ij: meeting In the Hlltmore hotel. New
York On that ocenslon Professor
Masaryk presided at a little gathering
of Interested persons, and deflnlto ar
il:) rangemotits wore made to carry the
Kv project to Washington and seek the
co operation of agencies of the gov- j
eminent. There followed a number !
of short conferences and meetings at I
the national capital, and an imprcs-j
Hive audience at the White House ;
with President Wilson. As a result, \
the organization was perfected and j
quarters were found to house the of- 1
lice and routine part of its activities.
There i.s a large council room in
which the regular gatherings of the
committee will take place. Already j
a number of interested persons have ;
found their way into Director Millers j
office and some have volunteered their j
services in aid of the work. Within
a short time the headquarters will be
a very busy place, and the delibera
tions, which take place may be ex
pected to be of profound world im
portance.
♦
Proper Disposal of Flags.
"Old und wornout Hags should be de
stroyed as a whole, privately, prefer
ably by burning. Do not east them
aside or use them in any way that
might be thought disrespectful to the
flag," says the adjutant general of the
United States unity.
Sight Not to Be Forgotten.
When one Is fortunate enough to see
a line of swans etched upon the sky
near sunset, a mile or more high, as
has been my luck but twice in my life,
one bus seen something lie will not
soon forget.—John Burroughs.
Know Whortleberries?
Very few people, we suspect, have
tasted whortleberries, und many do
not know what they are. There Is an
excuse for their ignorance, as ex}
perls were long in doubt whether the
fruit was the same as the bilberry; but
now they are agreed that they are one.
The Scots call them blaeberries on ac
count of their color, which Is a genuine
blue, and so In the “Merry Wives" Pis
tol Instructs the fairy to “pinch them
blue as bilberry.”

Birds Speak a Language.
The birds and animals do not use
a great many words or sounds, but
they can certainly understand each
other, writes George F. limbs in the
Columbus Dispatch. That ts, they are
able to converse with each other to
some extent. There Isn’t any doubt
about it. They have their alarms ot
danger; they have their distress calls;
they have their softer tones of affec
tion.
