OMAHA BOY TURNS BULGARIAN CANNON Montague Tancock, With Other Americans in Serbia, Saves Hospital from Ruin, RISKS LIFE IN SHELL FIRE How Montague ck, son of Dean James A. Tancock eof Trinity cathedral, Omaha, saved the Ameri- can hospital at Skoplke, in Serbia, from the devastating artillery fire of the Bulgarians is told in an Asso- ciated Press dispatch sent out from London by a correspondent there The firing had already commenced when young Tancock, with two other Americans, Logan Peters and a doc- tor named Osborne, hurried out in an automobile and pleaded with the enemy to spare the hospital Had Narrow Escapes. “The firing came pretty close about us before the United States flag we had hoisted was seen,” Tancock told upon his arrival in London, “We had any number of narrow escapes and several times had to hunt cover. We were agreeably surprised, however to find that the invading officers were exceedingly courteous and will ing to comply in every respect to our | requests T'hough for five months during the Bulgarian domination of Serbia we were prisoners of war, we have no complaint to make of our treatment,” All Arrive Safe in London. Eight Americans who were prison ers with Tancock arrived with Lady Paget in London a week ago. The party included three physi cians, each of whom originally went to the war zone to aid in the work of the American sanitary commission under the direction of Dr. Richard ( Strong, Dr, F. Corneilius of Be rea, Ky.; Dr, dence, R. I, and Dr. R, V. Brokaw of New York. Four members of the original Columbia university relief expedition in the party were: Mon tague Tancock ci Omaha) G. B. Lo- gan and Duce Peters of New York and Webster W. Eaton of Columbia, 0. Also returning tc London was Miss Roberta Parsons, a nurse from Lima, O., who left London with the English unit last May Left Last February. The Americans were finally allowed to leave Skoplke after which they held prisoners three weeks longer at Sofla before being permitted to depart for England by way of Rou mania, Russia and Sweden. Miss Par- sons had been 1l for three weeks before the order of release for the party was received and was removed the first eighty miles of the journey from Skoplke on a stretcher in an ambulance, She In- tends to return to Serbla with the Eng ish unit after a time “We were nursing the Serbian war vic- tims and members of the civil population in tho large hospital of 750 beds main- tained by the! Serbfan rellef fund at Skoplke when the Bulgarians took the place on October 22, last,” sald Miss Par sons. “The members of the large Turk- 1sh population, on seeing that the Bul- garians were coming in triumphantly, took the guns of the Serbian wounded and shot down Serbian soldlers. After the Bulgarians took the town we con- tinved our work as prisoners, but about the only difference was that instead of treating only Serbians we turned our at tention algo to a large number of Bul- gars and Austrians as well, the Bul garians permitting us to continue our at- tention to the Serblans as well Queen Visits Lady Paget. “On the whole, we found that the Bul garians treated us with the greatest con- sideration, seeming to pay a great denl ittention to Engligh public opinion On being transferred to Sofia the queen paid several visits to Lady Paget and In quired as to the welfare of us at our ho- tel. Wa were given a speclal train that took us right through Roumania and Ruesia to Stockholm."” Duce Peters of New York told how the resources of the Columbia rellef expedi ncluding thelr twenty-five motor s, were promptly absorbed by the the equipment coming as boon to the hard-pressed vet twenty-five Serbian inter ent by Prof. Pupin and the other « of the expedition were drafted into the army.
