bian leaders. And when the present
war is settled the Serbian leaders
will demand that the powers settle for
all time the great Balkan questions SO
that they may build up their devastat-
ed country and resume their place in
the family of nations.
This was the plan nd hope today
by the Prince Regent of Serbia. Alex

Moral Force Tells In Battle
When he discussed the work Of his
own troops the prince waxed enthus-
iastic. 1t was plain that he was
proud OF the manner in which his sol
diers have twice thrown back the en-
tire weight Of the Austrian army and
he was glad TO tell Of the lighting.
The moral force behind the soldier
lighting for home and country makes
him invincible over the soldier whose
only force is that inspired by military
discipline and organization he said.
1T is that which has enabled Serbia
twice to defeat Austria and 1t is
that which will enable her to continue
victorious TO the end. Soldiers Of

personally am an ardent admirer OF
military discipline and organization
but cannot deny that the real Bource
of strength of the Serbian army is its
patriotism.
Does Not Fear A Third Raid
While We have defeated the enemy
twice. do not believe that a third
attempt TO overwhelm us win be made
at present 1t was the plan OF the
Austro-German star to send another
great combined army through Serbia
and. II victorious. to influence Bull
garia to join in the lighting and march
to the relief Of Turkey. Fortunately
the success of our Russian allies has
made It necessary for the enemy to
withdraw this army from our north
en boundary. do not believe that
either Austria or Germany will now
be able to uass another expedition
against us.
But We won't remain idle. Al.
though our losses have been terriffc
and our nation is now being swept
by q fatal epidemic Of typhus. our
army still Is intact. IL IL as courag-
eous and determined as ever and Is
ready to come to the assistance Of
our allies when they need ~.
I'VE hope to contribute our full
share toward the general struggle for
the emancipation Of the oppressed Eu-
ropean peoples and for the reforming
OF the territorial limts Of Europe

Yes. It is.s the prince replied with
even greater emphasis. than before.
This means more 70 u than any
