The Serbian government ordered
all men and boys to leave the vii

Coincidentally the women and girls
we're ordered 10 remain and care for
the villages.
In other countries the women said
good bye to Their men and saw them

then waited for the war to come to
them with all Its horrors and out

II is not the refugees who fed to

proximately $2,s50,000.
Indebted to Securities Company
j. B. Greenhut, president of the firm,
is treasurer of the Monmouth Securities
Company, upon whose application the
receivers were appointed. The suit is
based ufon Indebtedness of approx
mately 100000 alleged to be due the
securities company and representing
money loaned the Greenhut Company
In connection with its department
stores, the j. B. Greenhut Company con-
Quoted private bank for the convent
ence of its customers. In December last,
however, the firm gave notice that it
intended to withdraw from the banking
business and that no interest on deposits
would be paid after January /, 1915.
The date fixed by the firm for its with
drawal from the banking business was
March l. This gave the depositors two
months notice and it is believed that
all availed themselves of it to withdraw
their savings.
Petition in Bankruptcy Filed
a few moments after the appoint
ment of the receivers, an involuntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed against
the company by three creditors with
claims aggregating $4,000. In their
petition these creditors alleged that the
assets of the Greenhut Company, exclu-
sive of real estate, do not exceed So
100000 and that its liabilities, mostly
old debts, aggregate approximately
s12,000,000.
Benjamin G. Paskue, of counsel for
the j. B. Greenhut Company, asserted
that the liabilities were about s3,5OO.-
600 and assets about $7,00O,000. Of
the latter he said, there were about $4,-
100000 in quick assets so called and
$3,0O0,000 in fixtures and stable equip
ment.
There are two mortgages on real es-
tate owned by the firm, according to the
petition. One of the mortgages is for
s1,200,000, and the other for S1,75O,-
900. These mortgages, Mr.. Paskus said,
are Offset by bonds, some of which are
held in Europe. Current liabilities, Mr..
Paskus asserted, would be offset by the
merchandise and outstanding accounts.
Without question the business will be
recognized, Mr.. Paskus asserted.
Officers of the j. B. Greenhut Com.
pany are Joseph B. Greenhut, president;
Charles A. Cooper, vice president; Ben
ediet j. Greenhut, treasurer, and Nell
son w. Greenhut, secretary, all of whom
are directors. The additional directors
are Jerome Siegel Benjamin Hillman,

will be issued by General Stewart an

of the organizations of the National

1t is probable that the First regi-
ment of cavalry will encamp with reg
ulars at Mt. Gretna, July "a to 81, but
this arrangement is tentative as yet
Preliminary arrangements are being
made for brigade encampments, but
they will largely depend upon satisfac-
tory transportation rates being given
by the railroads, and it was understood
to-day at the Capitol that the contem-
plated increase of transportation rates
for guardsmen may require encamp-
ments of infantry near home. The gen.
eral tentative plan is to have the Sec
ond brigade, signal corps and Four
teenth infantry encamp at a place to
be selected in August. This will be
brigade encampment. The tenta-
tive plan for the First, Third and
Fourth brigades is for brigade encamp-
ments at Mt. Gretna, July 10 to II
