Corfu, Island of Corfu, Nov. 21.-
"The funds advanced to Serbia by the
United States government are saving
the lives of the Serbian people," said
the Serbian minister of public works,
Dr. Momtchilo Nintchitch, who has
been charged~ with the expenditure of
the advances from the American gov-
ernment.
Dr. Nintchitch had been telling of
the various uses the American money
was put to, for the 136,000 Serbian
prisoners in Germany aad for interned
civilians, refugees, and pensions. But
now he turned to a story of the cruelty
and butchery which the Bulgars ' are
still prosecuting against the Serbs.
Serbia Deepest Sufferer
"Serbia has suffered more than any
other country," said Dr. Nintchitch,
"for not even the ruin of Belgium
and the devasted regions of France
can compare with what Serbia has
suffered. The people of Belgium and
France had seaports to go to and
escape in ships, and they had rail-
ways. But the Serbian people had
no ports for escape, and when the
INonastir 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 popu-
lation has come under the control e
the Bulgar invaders. Moreover, Bel-
gium and France have been unde
the eyes of England and America,
while Serbia 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
stripped of everything. All their
horses, cattle and live stock has been
taken, and their farm machinery has
been destroyed. Men, women and chil-
dren have been killed in the most re-
volting manner, and on the most
flimsy pretext. In this the Bulgars go
far beyond the Austrians, for the Aus-
trians have a trial and a formal con-
demnation to death. But the Bulgars
have no trial or condemnation. The
order to kill is given, andnthe soldiers
are practically free to take life on
their own Judgment without any or-
der."

ing of from all quarters daily.
Serbian Women Revolt
"We have received full details of
the revolt which the Serbian peasants
remaining in the country directed
against this Bulgar oppression," the
minister continued. "This has come
in a letter from a well-known teacher.
The revolt. was really a revolt of-
women-of the Serbian mothers, wives
and sisters-in a frantic -protest
against having their sons, husbands
and brothers forced into the Bulgar
ranks to fire on Serbian soldiers. This
women's movement became so threat-
ening 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 wom-
en, they took as prisoners a large
number of the wives, mothers and
sisters who had protested against
their men being taken as Bulgar sol-
diers. Then these wives and mothers
were formed in ranks; placed ahead
of the Bulgar divisions, and in thips
battle order with the Serbian women
in front as a screen for the Bulgar
troops-these divisions pushed against
the main body of the revolting peas-
ants. It was only by such methods
of using the women as screens, and by
resort to the most extreme cruelty
that the revolt was finally put down.
In one case, the writer of the letter
gives details of seeing a Serbian peas-
ant hung- up by the tongue.
Winter Will Be Hard
The minister spoke of the increas-
ing needs of .these Serbian peasants
during the coming cold months. Those
Serbs who have escaped, and who are
here at Corfu and at various Balkan
ing to give. -
"It is for this reason," said the min-
ister, "that the funds advanced by the
United States government are truly
providential, and are saving Serbian
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
rate the advance for a year would be
$12,000,000, or 60,000,000 francs. The
distribution of these funds is under
the direction of Dr. Nintchitch, with
the American charge d'affairs, H. Per-
cival Dodge, in frequent consultation
with him, and exercising American su-
pervision.

Photographs for Evidence
As documentary evidence of thist
killing, the Serbian ministry of for-
eign affairs have had photographs,t
copies of which were given to the cor-
respondent, showing six Serb peas-
ants strung up side by side from
rough stakes driven in the ground.
with a cross-piece above for the noose,1
while groups of soldiers and office.
are gathered about, laughing over the
contortions of the victims.1
"The Bulgar policy is to consider
Serbia and the Serbian people as an-
niliated," Dr. Nintchitch went on. "Tot
this end they hold that the Serbs no
longer exist, and every Serb must be-
come a Bulgar, take a Bulgar name,
and become a Bulgar citizen.,
"Our minister of war, General Ter-'
zitch, has Just gone through a trying
family experience of this kind. His
aged mother, over 70 years old,
remained in Serbia after the exodus,
as she was too old and feeble to make
the journey. All trac? of her had
been lost;,but when she was finally
located, 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. Terzitch
cannot leave the country as she has
become a Bulgar citizen.
Bulgars Draft Serbs
"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 international
dealing in time of war. But it is
justified by the Bulgar on the theory
that Serbia does not exist and that
the Serbs are Bulgars.
"A member of the Serbian chamber
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 become a
Bulgar soldier. The mother protested,
whereupon she was sent to Nish and
put in prison, where she went crazy.
Meantime the boy ordered to become
a Bulgar soldier had escaped to'the
mountains and a price has been placed
on his head. This, experience in the

Quota in Three Parts
In making the expenditures, the
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, and
for the civilian Serbs interned in these
countries. Together, these Serb pris-
oners and interned aggregated about
200,000. These people get a bare ex-
istence in the prison camps where
they are held, and anything beyond
this bare existence comes from the
American funds.
The second $1,000,000 is used for
pensions and relief to the wounded
Serbian soldiers no longer able to
earn a living, and for the relief of the
Serbian peasantry remaining in Ser-
bia.

FARM FOR EVERY SOLDIER,
SUGGESTS SENATOR HARDING

Washington, D. C., Nov. 21.-That
every United States soldier, when he
returns from the war, be given the
opportunity to become the owner of a
farm, is suggested by Senator Warrer
Harding of Ohio.
"There are vast quanties of unculti-
vated farm lands near the best dis-
tricts of the country, in the middle
and Pacific coast states, and these will
offer real. opportunities to the un-
attached soldiers who return home aft-
er the war. These men should have
the opportunity to make good and the
government should prepare the way
for them."
