Without Parallel in ey, a LEADERS ARE SLAUGHTERED bees A Attiint’ to Exterminate National Spirit cf Serbia by Kliling Off Aili Thought Capable of Maintaining It. WARD PRICE i In the Chicago Tribune, Vranja, Serbia—Here is a story of cold-blooded butchery perhaps without equal. even in this war, It is the tale of a deliberate, systematic effort by the Bulgarians extending over three months to exterminate the national spirit of Serbia by killing everyone in the parts of the country they oéeupled whom they thought capable of main- | taining it. Ihave gathered the facts from many different sources and the informaflon and evidence establish Bulgarian guilt | beyond all doubt, After installinig Bulgarian mayors, bishops, tax collectors and military | police the Bulgarians arrested in ev- ery town and village all the men who | belonged to what may be called the intellectual class, They chose parlia- | mentary deputies, judges, teachers, | lawyers, priests and employers of la- | bor, formed them into gangs and marched them away. ‘ 3,000 Sent to Slaughter. Men numbering at least 3,000 from the towns and villages of the Vranja ments of about fifty at a time to aj place which the Bulgarians chose as | theix slaughter house, and there every night one party after another from December, 1915, to March, 1916, had their throats cut or were stabbed to death. One village whose name the Bulga- | rians have made terrible is a small place called Surdulitza, 20 miles north- eust of Vranja, near the Bulgarian frontier. I went there and saw the | bones, the graves and surviving rela- | tives of 2,500 victims of Bulgarian sav- agery who there met their end. They were locked up in houses which I saw, and then at night marched down a gully tied four or five | together with ropes, they were stabbed | or: bayoneted to death and buried where they lay by local gypsies: col-| DISMISS CONTEST lected for the work by the Bulgarians, Graves of hundreds of them were shown to me. Moldy human bones were still lying about in a little moldy stream bed where on one win- ter’s night after another the slaughter was Cfrrled out. Every night the peasants. of Surdu- litza, who were forbidden to leave thelr houses after sunset, heard men’s screams coming from a near-by woud. The following morning. fierce village dogs wouid bring into the streets, hu- mab arms and even Heads; which they tore off the bodies of the murdered mea. At Ushevtse, a hamlet to the north of Vranja, 120 men, women and chil- | dren—the entire population— were! killed in one day. Roasted Over Slow Fires. At Viadichi all the women were col- lected and some of them Violated. The rest were tied up and left wntil two days later, when the Bulgars came back and completed their work of out- rage, Last year at Yelashnitsa and Kri- vafaja innocent peasants were stripped naked, tied down to braziers and roasted over slow fires to make them confess that they. possessed hidden arms. Lebane and Lesokvaty probably were | the worst martyred towns of all. At the former place 20 persons were beat- en literally to death. | What is to be done to punish this cynically planned and brutally exe- cuted policy of murder? The names of the Bulgarian officers directly re- sponsible for’ these bitcheries are known. The peasants of Vranja and Surdulitza utter them with the same dread as that with which men of the English west country must have spo- ken of Judge Jeffreys after the bloody} assizes.
