nccted with that country Of moro than ortli-
nary interest Mt tho present time, and also
more than ordinarily important, aince every
stop she takcs is under the inspiration Of
Russia, and with tho understanding TINT sho
will DO assisted directly, II necessary, as a4o
now is indirectly. For 400 years soryia Inns
boen engaged in astrugglo with Turkey. Her
conquest was first mado comploto in 1854, By
3louAMstgp H., who in 146o Incorporated
Sorvia with Turkey, except Belgrade, its
Capital, which was held by tho Hungarians
until sotxMAN captured it in 1521. Tho Turks
punished tho Servians for their resistance
with tho captivity Of thousands md the 1nas-
sacro Of whole families. Northern Soryia and
Belgrade went to Austria in 171S, at the
close of tho 1attor's war with Turkey, but by
tho peace OF Belgrade, in 1739, Turkish
doniipntion WAS restored, and tho persecution
Of tho Serbs was resutu ed with tho old vjgor
