Gevlheli, Serbia, Nov. 22—One of the most picturesque figures of the European war is the Serbian “ko- mitadji” or guerilia Ivan Stikovitcih, known to fame as ‘“Babounsky” The name is drawn from the famous Bo- bouna pass, where recently the Serb so long held the invading Bulgarians at bay. Ivan Stoikovitch comes from that part of Serbia and is therefore known to his followers and to the Serbian population at large by a nickname indicating the fact. A slight man, tall, with honest gray-blue eyes and the pale features of a student, he impresses the strang- er with anything but the terror which his name inspires. Nor do his looks belie his real profession. For the redoubtable ‘‘Babounsky” was a hool teacher until fired by an ar- dent patriotism he gave up his class- es to gather about him a band of in- trepid spirits in the fight for the re- lease of the Turkish part of Serbia from the Ottoman yoke. Refuge in Mountains. since the first Balkan war he and his followers have been un- der arms. Unrecognized by the laws of war, they have taken their own risks of capture and instant execu- tion. Their refuge is in the Serbian mountains, and they have been will- ing to trust their security to their own astuteness and the impregnability of their numerous hiding places. During the brief periods separating the first Balkan war from the second and the second Balkan war from the present European struggle, the inter- nal administration of Serbia was in such a state of disorder that it seem- ed to “Babounsky” better to retain his band under arms and to assist in the administration of a rough and Ever ready justice than to send his fol- lowers to their own firesides. In this capacity even in the short in- tervals of peace he kept his name as a kind of modern Robin Hood— the friend of the weak and the ter- ror of the evil doer. Town After Town Evacuated. Especially since the complete break down of the Serbian adminis- tration following the flight of ihe government to Scutari, has “Baboun- sky” become a personage of prime importance in Serbia. Before the advancing German and Bulgarian ar- mies, town after town was evacuated. Sometimes the inhabitants were able to take a few of their belongings with them; more often they were forced to leave with the clothes they wore as their only possessions. But especially in the southern part of Serbia, where the greater part of the inhabitants are really of Turkish or Bulgarian extraction, only the Serbs ‘fled and the Turks and the Bulgarians remained. While awaiting for the arrival of the armies of their compatriots, they were not averse to going through the deserted Serbian dwellings and acquiring a few useful articles. “Babounsky” did not approve of this. Naturally the deserted dwell- ings and all in them would fall into the hands of the conquerors. That was all right—the chance of war. But that former neighbors should do the looting was not in ‘“Babounsk code. And those who tried it were dealt with in a most summary man- ner. Received Short Thrift. Whoever among the Bulgarians was suspected of giving information to the advancing Bulgar armies also re- ceived short thrift. A story is told of the first Balkan war when a cer- tain pseudo-Serb known as “Kechko” was suspected of treason to the Ser- bian cause. “Babounsky's” band ap- peared upon the scene one night and “Kechko” and four others were ar- rested, tried in secret by the band at midnight and sentenced to be ‘“sent to Saloniki”—that is, taken to the banks of the Vardar river, stabbed and thrown in, their bodies to drift down with the current to Saloniki. All five were lined up on the bank. “Babounsky” gave the signal for the fatal blows to be struck. Bunt un- fortunately ‘Kechko's” executioner, a lawyer from Belgrade, had never killed a man before and his hand slipped. The five bodies were thrust into the Vardar, but “Kechko” was still alive. A week later the Serbian consul at Saloniki was called to the hospital “Kechko” told him the story of his escape from death. but begged that it be kept secret until after his de- parture for the United States. Ul- timately recovered from the unskill- ful stab of the Belgrade lawyer, “Kechko” quietly departed for Amer. ica where he lives still, unterrified by the famous guerilla. i Keeps No Commission. Whenever the allied troops have need of fresh meat or wood or mu one of the officer acquaints a Serbi with what is required. The next day twenty sheep two cord of wood or a hundred mules are brought into Negotin or Kaphadar as the case may be by a Serbian peasant. The peasant collects an equitable sum for the goods delivered and in time each Serbian who has been involun- tarily levied upon for lamb or wood or mule receives his payment. “Ba- bounsky” does not even keep a com- mission. When, too, either Serb or Bulgar in one of the towns occupied by the allied troops behaves in a grasping or dishonest way towards the French or the British it is not long before the punishment arrives. The pun- ishment may take various forms, from death for treason to a dozen blows with a stout stick for cheating one of Serbia's allies. The punish- ments, however, are rare. ‘“Baboun- sk reputation is too well known. The magic phrase: “Listen, my friend—I shall see that ‘Babounsky hears of this!" generally has its ef- lfcc', Seeks 1o Release Turkish Part of CASH IN ADVANCE. WANTED. WANTED !

Wilson to Speak Tonight. The chief point of interest for all today, however, was the address of President Wilson on the program for tonight. The demand for seats has been so great that instead of in the Pan-American building the president will speak in the larger hall of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion building. Dr. Jose Matos, professor of inter- national law in the faculty of law ana notarial practice of Guatemala, urged at the section on international law, a broader field for teaching. He ad- { vocated a partial codification of inter- the average, national law and warned against the ‘dangerous doctrine that extreme may determine the just or r of an act and may criginate 1aw.
