Seryians and Serbs

From the Springfield. Mass. Repubn-
 can.
 A clear distinction must be kept be- tween Servians, or subjects of the kfn1- dom Of Servia. and Serbs. or neople Of the Serb race wherever found. Con fusion at this point has led to some misunderstanding of the events con nected with the assassination of the Austrian heir; Servia's responsibility of course does not extend beyond her frofsiers.
 If all the Serbs were united in one kingdom. as Is the dream of the pan Servian enthusiasts they would make a very considerable nation In Servia. oetore the war there were not quite S,oo0,0O0, and while the war extended the boundaries of the kingdom. the added population is not wholly Serb
 No revised statistics are available put 1t Is likely that the Servians of serb race are now about 1000. 900. To these may be added 2S0,000 Montene- srlns. Serb by race. and uncompromis- ing allies. The rest of the Serbs. more than half are in Austria Hungary. and arc thus distributed: Bosnia Herzego- vina, 1,7lS,000; Dalmati& &s 667 ,0o0: Istria. iSS.oo0; Croatia -Slavonfa 2.sS4, 900: Ba net and BatchlSa. s7coOe The total is about 10000. 900.

With these items added the officials Of the courthouse state that the taxes will exceed s15oOOo,OO0
 feature of the names of the taxpayers of the county is that 46S af them answer to the name of Smith and 329 to that of Jones. These two names are far ahead numerally of all others, which tends. to show that the Smiths and Jones get there when it comes to accommodating property.

city has secured another contract for
1900 automobile motors from the Vul-
can Motor Car Co. Of gainesville, o.
The deal was closed Saturday but it

thousand dollars. II will be remem-
bered that the local concern recently
secured a $500, 900 contract from the
Continental Engineering Co. of Chi
cagO for the manufacture Of motors.
These two heavy orders will keep the
Ampiex Co. busy day and night for
some months. The Chicago order is
for 5. 900 motors. The Amplex work
ing staff will be considerably aug
mented, and in the meantime expert
tool makers are getting ready to man
ufacture the tools necessary TO the
construction OF the motors. The plac-
ing OF these two contracts with the
Amplex Co. means much for Misha-
waka and has already created some
demand for real estate in the eastern
side of the city.

WAIT FOR OFFICIAL
REPORTS OF BATTLES

The 500 Belgium families in Mish-
awake are naturally deeply interested
in the present war. and read the news
paper accounts Of the doings OF their
compatriots with cOmmendable pride
and satisfaction They are not. how
ever. imbued with the idea that their
countrymen are having everything to
their liking. and before expressing
their feelings on the situation abroad
they are content TO wait further and
more official information.
Such was the sentiment conveyed TO
"A representative of The News-Times
Sunday by the Rev FIR. Shockaert
who is in charge Of the Belgium
church here The reverend gentle
man cOnversed quite freely on the
situation as ii appeared 10 him from
his perusual of the newspaper &C
counts. With the exception of the
last 10 years during which he has
lived in this country, his whole life
has been spent in Belgium, which
country. he says. taken altogether is
not nearly as large as the state of
Indiana. having an area OF only IL
600 square miles. For centuries. ne
says. the Belgians have proven them
selves TO be great fighters-the best
on earth IL fact. The country has only
handful of soldiers-z50,0 OO-and
these include the reservists Up un-
til two years ago CONSUMPTION was
in vogue in the country, but at pres
ent there is a law in force by which
90 per cent OF the male population OF
the country can be drafted N the time
of war.

made by the Belgium troops and ex-
poets TO hear any time now that a
decisive blow has been struck by his
