MANY PERISHEO IN
SERVIAN FLOODS
Nearly -Four Hundred Persons
Lost Their Lives.

Belgrade, June 17.-Dispatches re-
ceived from King Peter, who is per-
sonally conducting the relief work in
the flooded Morava river valley, indi-
cate that between 500 and 40c persons
have lost their lives and that at least
twenty towns have suffered heavy
loss, besides incalculable damage in
the rural districts.
Thousands of persons are still ma.
rooned by the food and unless the
work of relief is greatly expedited,
hundreds of these will be either
drowned or die from starvation and
exposure.
Owing to the washing out of most
OF the roads in the flooded district
and the destruction of bridges the
relief work is progressing slowly.
Several of the smaller towns have
literally been washed away. Wreck
age of every conceivable sort is being
carried down by the Morava river.
The situation is the worst in ten
years

WILL Be IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN WARFARE
General Bells Opinion Of Fu-
ture Of AerOpIane.

New York, June 17.-Major General
]. Franklin Bell, former chief of staff
Of the United States army, who is now
In New York city, startled army men
with a prediction that within five
years war aeroplanes will be built to
carry crew of five persons and a
small cargo of explosives. In addi-
tion to this he expects that the aero
plane will be able to carry guns and
that ordnance will be devised to fire
upon and destroy aircraft from the
ground.
General Bell, who will sail from San
command of the Philippine division
Of the army, was asked his opinion
concerning the probable utility of fly
ing machines from the point of view
of the soldier. He said:
"For transporting considerable
weight it would seem probable that
dirigible balloons might be more val
liable in war than heavier than air
machines, yet they are subject to a
serious drawback in making headway
against a wind blowing at consider
able rate. The whole science Is still
In state of development. However,
heavier than air machines will in the
next few years be sufficiently devel-
oped to make them reliable In navi-
eating the air, except in the heaviest
storms"

CAUSES PANIC IN TENEMENT
Dynamite Bomb Exploded by Sup
posed Black Handlers.

New York, June 1.-THE explosion
of dynamite bomb in the hallway of
First avenue tenement blew out
doors and windows and badly wrecked
the first floor interior. The $50 oc-
cupants of the building became panic
stricken when they found the stair
way exit blocked by the explosion and
fed to the fire escape. Firemen had
to remove the majority of them by
means of ladders.
The explosion is believed to have
been the work of Black Handlers who
for months have been writing threat
ening letters TO Frank Fassett, bar
Der who conducts a shop on the first
floor. The bomb blew away a good
part of the barber shop walls and
caused other extensive damage to the
place.

New York, June 17.-What is likely

is now on among the eager politicians
of the country to be among the first
to secure the private ear of Colonel
Roosevelt, who is due to arrive in
New York on his return from his
triumphs in Africa and Europe Sat

latter are showing more open anxiety

the aid of the man who is recognized
as the most powerful individual po.

congressional progressives, headed by
Congressman Hamilton Fish, will de-

about even, Clifford Pinchot having
presented one side of the case to the
ex-president during his stay in Italy
