evidence of hard treatment; broken

cheek, cloven skull that showed the

There were mixtures of races on

LONDON. Aug. s.--when went to
southwestern Europe last year 10 re-
port the famous ritual case for The
Tines ] passed through Servia. AT
Belgrade I made friends with Ser
Wan journalist. who sends me the
following remarkable interview with
Crown Prince Alexander OF Servia-
His people call the young crown
prince Alexander of Macedon" be-
cause they think his victories In
Macedonia over the Turks during the
recent war In the Balkans earned him
the right TO be compared with the
great Greek commander who sighed
for new worlds to conquer"
Like the greater Alexander. the
Servian prince Is small Of stature,
but judged by his sturdy handshake
his physical energy Is extraordinary.
His large brown eyes peer shrewdly
through glasses that seem worn more
to veil his thoughts and emotions
than because he has physical need OF
them. His features are large but reg
ular, and silky black moustache
shadows his scarlet upper lip.
Confidently, Alexander, crown
prince OF Servia, talked TO me of his
plans and hopes few days after the
Austrian invasion Of Servia applied
the match which has set Europe fam
ing in the greatest war In the history
of the world.
First. the crown prince tells why
this war Is necessary.
In his words:
This war was necessary that later
we may have an assured peace in
which to develop the internal re-
sources Of our country. For years We
have been surrounded by neighbors
far from friendly and have labored
to prepare Servia for the attack now
made upon her by our greatest en-
envy.
Our army Is well organized. Our
aytillery Is entirely French, therefore
marvelously effective. II will soon
show its Incompatible superiority to
that Of our enemies, which Is wholly
German
Russia and France will come to
our aid in khis great crisis" The
young prince continued with CULVER
ing voice. "My father. King Peter.
fought in the ranks of the French
army In 1870 against the Prussians
and for his bravery in battle was dec
GRATED with the Cross of the Legion
OF Honor. Today France will pay her
debt OF gratitude thousandfold.'
"The world expects great things OF
you. her military IDOL" ventured to
remark to his royal highness. 1T

your great personal courage In the
Balkan war"

prince replied, but there is no merit
In that My great ancestor Kara

present Servian dynasty threw the

peared! My father Is brave man.
In my opinion valor and cowardice.

and baseness, are hereditary traits.

God, and I am thankful to Him. am
thankful. too, that command my
brave Servian soldiers, unsurpassed
In the world for courage and endur-
ance. Another cause have for
thankfulness In the midst OF our great
peril Is, that the cost Of war will not
fall too heavily upon my little Servia.
I'm the recent war we nearly dou-
bled our territory and acquired abun-
dant granaries in Macedonia and Old
Servia. These new possessions have
furnished US already with wonderful
troops.
They have waited five centuries to
be able to march once more under the
Servtan flag and their dearest wish,
which is mine also, Is to fight, II nee
essary to die for free and united Ser.

(The following vivid and horrifying
description OF modern warfare Is re-
printed from Emile Zola's great work
on the Franco Prussian war, The
Downfall Forty-four years ago, on
Aug. 2. the first blow was struck in
the last great European conflict. the
Franco Prussian war OF 1901. lola
has been called the greatest descrip-
tive writer on war subjects that ever
lived. Will these scenes be re-
doubled hundred times In the pres
ent war? The following Is a descrip-
ton Of the scene when the wounded
were brought In after big battle in
that war;
II was q sight to move the most
callous TO behold the unloading OF
those poor wretches, some with a
greenish pallor on their face. others
suffused with the purple hue that de-
notes congestion; many were In q
state OF coma, others uttered pierre
ing cries of anguish; some there
were who, In their semi-conscious
condition, yielded themselves to the
arms of the attendants with look
of deepest terror In their eyes, while
q few, the minute hand was laid on
them, died OF the consequent shock.
They continued to arrive In such
numbers that soon every bed In the
vast apartment would have its occu-
pant. and Maj. Bouroche had given
orders to make use OF the straw that
lad been spread thickly upon the
ioor at one end. He and his assist
lnts had thus far been able to at
end 10 all the cases with reason
bile promptness; he had requested
dme. Delaherchei to furnish him with
another table, with mattress and oil
10th cover, for the shed where he
had established his operating room.
The assistant would thrust nap.
kin saturated with chloroform to the
patients nostrils. the keen knife
flashed In the air, there was the faint
rasping OF the saw, barely audible,
the blood spurted In short. sharp lets
that were checked Immediately.
AS soon as one subject had been
operated on, another was brought in.
and they followed one another In such
quick succession that there was bare
ly time TO pass a sponge over the
protecting oilcolth.
AT the extremity OF the grass plot,
screened from sight by a clump OF
lilac bushes, they had set up kind
of morgue whittier they carried the
bodies OF the dead. which we're re-
moved from the beds without a mo
ment's delay In order to make room.
