The Servian people, who now form
the largest immigration to America
from Europe. would be much better off
at home" said Prof. George Chokorilo
of the University of Belgrade, now a
visitor in San Francisco, yesterday. He
is on a tour of the United States for
the purpose Of studying the conditions
of his people in this country.
When 1 return to Europe I am going
to publish a book, In which 1 shall
strongly advise our people TO stay in
their own country" the professor con-
tinued.
The Servians who come to this coun-
try are most from Bosnia, Herzegovina
and Dalmatia, and they leave their ma
tive land to escape the tyranny Of Aus
tria When they arrive here they are
unfamiliar with the ways of the coun-
try and are forced to accept the hard
est kind of work. They are being de-
graded by the systems of slavery prac>
ticed in the sweatshops Of New York,
the mills of New England, the steel
works of Pennsylvania and in all the
big mines in this country. At home
they were a pastoral people and happy.
Here they do the hardest kind of work
and suffer.
They come to do this work, how
ever, because they want to escape the
oppression of Austria. In the Servian
provinces, which have been under the
power of Austria since 1878, the Aus
trians have used every means of annoy
Ance and oppression in the last FIVE
years TO force the Slavonic races to
leave, so that the land may be occupied
by Magyar races and never be lost
TO Austria They know that we will
fight for liberty. For hundreds of years
we have stood between Europe and the
hordes Of Asia, and our race has lost
none Of its virility.
The Austrians have ground US down
so hard, though, that they are gradually
forcing US out Of the country. That has
accounted for the great immigration
to America OF the Servians In Amer
lea few are from Servia itself, but from
those provinces which are under the
heel Of Austria. From my observations
here I believe that If they remained
nearer home they would be far bet
ter Off This is a grand country, full
of opportunity, but not for the majority
of the people who are coming here from
the interior of Europe today. Their
children may profit by it, but not as
long as they work under the conditions
that I find now"
Professor Chokorilo has been exten-
sively entertained in San francisco by
the Servian club. He lectured Friday
night on the anniversary OF the bat
tie of Kosovo under the auspices of
the Servian colony.

SIXTEEN ROUNDS OF FAST FIGHTING
Referee Declares WaIIace-BIaeEak
Bout n Draw.

Bout Draw.
Sixteen rounds of the most clever sort
OF boxing, interpreted with rough and
tumble fighting, was witnessed by large
number OF Omaha devotees of the ring last
night before the osthofr Athletic club
The contests were by far the most salts
factory to the spectators that have ever
been pulled on before the club, the ten
round go between Fred Blaezak of Omaha
and Harry Wallace, a colOred man from
Sioux Falls, 5. d., being the fastest ex-
hibition seen In recent years. After ten
rounds OF swift fighting, mingled with hard
punches at times, Referee Pete Loeb was
unable to pick the winner and declared the
bout draw.
The arst few rounds OF the contest were
spent by the principals in sizing up each
others ability, Wallace plainly showing
that he was an adept at sidestepping and
duoking vicious skinfwqnwas
ducking vicious swings, while Blaezak es-
capped punishment by covering at all times,
and being in the pink OF condition took
all the punishment coming without wincing.
Wallace changed his tactics In the sixth
round and forced the fighting. raining a
perfect shower Of blows on his opponent $
head and body, but was unable 20 find an
opening TO administer a telling blow. Clever
boxing by both men marked the next few
rounds, until BlaezRk started after Wallace
In the ninth round and forced him TO the
ropes but Wallace protected himself clev-
erly and escaped from close quarters in
the corners. The tenth and final round
witnessed many exchanges Of hard blows
and both men were fighting hard when the
gond rang that closed the bout
The preliminary match OF six rounds be-
tween Kid Gray OF Omaha and Tommy Lee
OF South Omaha was one OF the hardest
fought battles ever placed on the boards
OF the club. Time after time each fighter
landed blows from which recovery seemed
stronger Of the two, but evidently had not
had the experience of Gray, who Is q
shitty fighter, and needed all OF his ex.
slightly winded at the finish and the honors
were declared even.

exchange requires its sellers TO deliver
genuine midland cotton NJ for use by manu-
lecturers. the injustice OF its conduct
should be told and told until il Is a bywoTd
