Interment Impracticable on
Account of Frozen Con-
dition Of Ground.
WILL USE CREMATORY.
Princess, Disheartencd at Delays in
Signing Armis4ce, Burns Herr
self TO Death.

Constantsa, Dec. 4.-Twelve thous-
and corp:es today still lay unburied on
the battlefelds of Kumanova and
MonaEtir Interment had proved i'm
practicable because of the frozen and
rocky nature Of the ground.
In order to dispose of the dead,
several portable crematory installa-
tions have been received in Belgrade
from Germany and will be sent al
once to the scene.
Constantinople, Dec. 4.--Disheart-
ened by the prolonged delays to the
signing of the peace protocol and
perhaps affected by the long series of
Turkish defats, the Princess Zekky,
wife of an officer of high rank burned
herself to death, apparently deliberate
ly, it was learned today. In the court
yard of her home near Abu-Sherira,
in Anatolia, she caused servants to
build a. huge bonfire and before any
of them could interfere, she threw
herself into the flames.
With the war practically at an end
it was expected today that the gov
ernment soon would publish the de-
sired list of those who lie dead in
the battlefield trenches or whose bod
les are manned. The country will
learn the price it has paid for the
war.
Perhaps no country in modern times
has ever gone to, war and practiced
such cruelty on The wives, mothers
and friends left at home, as did the
Bulgarian government when it re-
fused to make public the names Of
any killed and injured soldiers until
the end of the war.
1t is conceded that the flower Of
Sofia society and the brain Of Bull
garian business were wiped out by
the conflict but wives will not know
they are widows; mothers not know
they are childless, until the iron-clad
war office gives OUT the lists.
