NEW BRITAIN [AMERICAN SOLDIERS | TAKE SOME TRAMPS Wander Through Beantiful Irish Countryside During Spare Time Corfu, Island of Corfu, Oct. 29 (Staft Correspondence of the Assoclated Press)—“The funds advanced to Ser- bla by the United States government are saving the lives of the Serblan people,” said the Serbian Mjnister of ! Public Works, Dr. Momtchilo Nint- chitch, who has been charged with the expenditure of the advances from | the American government. | Dr. Nintchitch had been telling of the various uses the American money | was put to, for the 136,000 Serbian ! prisoners in Germany and for interned civilians, refugees, and pensions. But now he turned to & story of the cru- elty and butchery which the Bulgars are still prosecuting against the Serbs. “Serbla has suffered’ more than any other country,” said Dr. Nintchitch, “for not even the ruin of Belgium and the devastated regions of France can compare with what Serbia has suf- fered. The people of Belgium and France had seaports to go to and es- cape in ships, and they had rallways, But the Serbian people had no ports for escape, and when the Monastir railway line was cut by the Bulgars they had no railway.. So they were literally caught in a trap, with no means of egress, and except for those who made the exodus across the mountains, the whole peasant popula- tion has come under the control of the Bulgar invaders. Moreover Belgium and France have been under the eyes of England and America, while Ser- bia is cut off from the world, with no knowledge of what goes on there, and no mail from there for two years. “The Serbian peasants have been Ystripped of everything. All their horses and cattle and live stock has been taken, and their farm machinery has been destroved. Men, women, and children have been killed in the most revolting manner, and on the most flimsy pretext. In this the Bulgars go far beyond the Austrians for the Austrians have a trial and a formal condemnation to death. But the Bul- gars have no trial or condemnation. The order to kill is given, and the sol- diers are practically free to take life on their own judgment without any orders.” As documentary evidence of this killing, the Serbian Ministry of For- eign Affairs have had photographs, copies of which were given to the cor- respondent showing six Serb peasants strung up side by side from rough stakes driven in the ground, with a cross-piece above for the noose, while groups of soldiers and officers are gathered about, laughing over the contortions of the victims. “The Bulgar policy -is to consider Serbia and the Serbian people as an- nihilated.” Dr, Nintchitch went on. “To this end they hold that the Serbs no longer exist, and every Serh must become a Bulgar, take a Bulgar name, ana become a Bulgar citizen. “Our Minister of War, General Ter- zitch, has just gone through a trying family experience of this kind. Iis aged mother, over 70 years old, re- mained in Serbia after the exodus, as she was too old and feeble to make the journey. <All trace of her had been lost, but when she was finally lo- cated, General Terzitch applied through the relief authorities for her transfer. But to this application the [rePlY has now come back from, the Bulgar authorities that Mme. Ter- zitch cannot leave the country as she had become a Bulgar citizen. “The drafting of Serb peasants as soldiers in the Bulgar ranks is one of the worst forms of cruelty being practiced. This is systematically car- ried out, with notices posted in all public places telling all men over 17 years of age to report for military duty. This placing of a whole popu- lation in the military service of the enemy is an unheard of cruelty, and contrary to every rule of internationaj dealing In time of war. But it is jus- tified by the Bulgar on the theory that Serbia does not exist and that the Serbs are Bulgars, “A membe rof the Serbian Cham- ber of Deputies was here yesterday, and gave me a harrowing report of his family still in Serbia. One of the boys had already been killed. The second boy had been ordered to be- come a Bulgar soldier. The mother protested, whereupon she was sent to Nish and put in prison where she went crazy.

These people ‘get. has been placed on his head. This experience in the family of the Ser- bian Deputy is merely typical of the thousands we are hearing of from all quarters dally. “We have recelved full details of the revolt which the Serbian peasants remaining in the country dlrected‘ against this Bulgar oppression,” the minister continued. ‘‘This has come in a letter from a well-known teach- er. The revolt was really a revolt of women of the Serbian mothers, wives and sisters—in a frantic pre test against ‘having their sons, hus- bands and brothers forced into the Bulgar ranks to fire on Serbian sol- diers. This women’s movement be- came so threatening that a German division at Nish was sent to quell it. ‘When this failed, two Bulgar divisions were sent against the increasing ranks of the revolt. “This gave the Bulgars the oppor- tunity to perpetrate a new infamy. Sending their troops against the women, they took as prisoners a large number of the wives, mothers and sisters who had protested against thelr men being taken as Bulgar soldlers. Then these wives and mothers were formed in ranks; placed ahead of the Bulgar divisions, and in this battle order with the Serblan women in front as a screen for the Bulgar troops—these divisions pushed against the main body of the revelting peas- ants. It was only by such methods of using the women as screens, and by resorting to the most extreme cruelty that the revolt was finally put down. In one case, the writer of the let- ter gives details of seeing a Serbian peasant hung up by the tongue.’” during the coming cold months. Those Serbs who have escaped, and who are here at Corfu and at various Balkan points, can send little or no relief, for they lost everything and have nothing to give. “It is for this' reason,” said the minister, “that the funds advanced by the United States government are truly providential, and are saving Ser- bian lives, thousands of them.’ The advance made by the United States was 15,000,000 francs, or $3,- 000,000. This was designed to cover a period of three months; and at this The distribution of these funds is un- der the direction of Dr. Nintchitch, with the American Charge d’Affaires, H. Percival Dodge, in frequent con- sultation with him, and exercising American supervision. In making the expenditures, first $3,000,000 has been divided in three parts of $1,000,000 each. The first million is being employed for the Serbian soldiers held as prisoners in Germany, Austria and Bulgaria, ana for the civillan Serbs interned in these countries. Together, these Serb prisoners and interned aggregatetl the. where they are held, and any beyond this true existence © from the American funds, The second $1,000,000 is used pensions and relief to the won Serbian soldiers no longer able to a living, and for the relief of th bian peasantry remaining in Hei The third $1,000,000 will be u mainly for reconstruction work Serbia, in replacing bridges, o etc.,, which have been destroyed, 5 that Serbla, once restored to its pedy ple, may be brought back, in part least, to its former condition.
