and was pointing out to his companions
the changes that NJ ght take place as
result OF the war.
"AlI the Serbs seem 10 feel that their
country will win automatically as vel
as in the feld' said MIR. Paulovitch.
"Of course. they do not believe that
Scrvja can win alone, but, with Rus
s;a thev are confident she will cnange
the man Of Europe.
There are about 100000 Serbs In

Expects Many to Return.
az is probable that mary OF them

rims and I do not see how war car be
avoided The iast time there was war
over 900 lef. from New York. Not all
of them came back. 1t was mostly the
vounp ones who returned; the older
ones remained at home.
you see, the Serbs in this country
do not really come from Servia; they
como from Austria. There's no need
for a Serb to leave Servia. for there he
is happy. In Austria he ~ persecuted
and conditions are all against Inn.
Therefore he en.igratcs from the coun-
try.
"A short time ago a-young Servian
school teacher from Bosnia landed here
on her way to Pennsylvania. ! met
her at the pier. Naturally we talked
about the assassination. She said that
over since the archduke and his wife
were killed the plight of Serbs IN bos-
mia and Herzegovina was unbearable.
"Sho lived at Senitza, short dis
lance from Sarayevo. Her father :
house was attacked, the windows ana
doors broken and the furniture wrecked,
all because the family were Serbs. BY
the way. this girl went to school with
Princips. who fired the fatal shots.
She said he was a dreamer and poet.
You know that's always the kind that
goes to eXtremities.
70 Lays Blame on Austria.
"All .his persecution of Servia or sc-
count of the Pan-Servian movement Is
wrong. There is a Pan-Servian move
ment. but il did not originate IN Ser
via. II originated in Austria, and mat
is where it thrives most
The idea that the late archduke IN
tended TO have the Slavic element rep
resented in the dual monarchy was
denied by Mr.. Pauloyitch. He said that
Franz Ferdinand never intended to let
the Slavs have share in the govern
mcnt.
"He did not like Slavs. and certainly
he cid not like Serbs. He always
thought they were too fiery. too intrac-
table" said Mr.. Paulovitch. Aus
trians hate the Serbs, and the hatred 10
returned. King Alexander, who was
assassinated, was always an Austrian
st heart. and that was the reason he
was 30 unpopular. so distrusted.
