Semlin, Hungary, Dec. 29-t is not
two months since shells were falling
in this old Hungarian city, but the
civilian population has already settled
back into the humdrum routine of
normal city life. Some soldiers are
still in the city, and an occasional COL
urnn of prisoners is marched through
the streets, but apart from this there
are only some destroyed houses in the
| southeastern section of the town and
a few houses SCARED by shrapne1 bull
let's to remind the Inhabitants of the
stirring scenes of the early October
days.
Perhaps never in the worlds history
has so splendid a spectacle been staged
free OF charge for civilian spectators
as was the taking of Belgrade. From
their housetops the inhabitants of
Senlin could see every move in the
desperate undertaking. The broad
river lay in front of them. and on the
other side, perched some two hundred
feet above the stream, rose the Kale-
mgedan, the old Belgrade fortress
with it's white tower and it's walls dat
ing from the days when the Turks
were still masters of the city.
To their left and behind them were
the Austro- Hungarian artillery posi-
tions, and off to the right the German
guns were hurting their projectiIes
against the Serbian capital. The Aus
tro-Hungarian regiments crossed the
river in plain view for the naked eye,
and a halfway good glass enabled one
to watch the Germans farther toward
the west, making their bloody strug-
gle to cross over the Gypsy Island.

SEML|N POPULACE, ON TOPS
Of HOUSES, WATCHED SACK
OF BELGRADE BY CEnMANS
Greatest Spectacle Worlds History Presented to Cit
Of Hungarian Town-One City Receivers Entire
ly From Harass of Shell Fire.

The Inhabitants could see thinned bat
taions of Hungarians, lying with their
feet still in the river on the Belgrade
side of the stream, held in check by
a murderous rifle and machine gun
fire from the old walls of the Kale-
megdan. They could see damaged
pontoons full of dead men, floating
down stream with the swift current.
The heights southwark from Belgrade
were pIoughed by heavy projectiles
searching for the Serbian artillery po
sitions. Serbian guns were dropping
their shells into Senlin and to the
rear of the city, trying vainly to find
the guns that were gradually batter
ing down the defenses of the Serbian
capital. The Austrian "thirtypoint-
fives," the tweIve-inch mortars, were
throwing METRE houses into the air
and making great cratersi within the
walls of the Kalemegdan.
Finally, last scene in the first act of
the tragedy, the Inhabitants could see
the German, Austrian and Hungarian
flags thrust out through the apertures
in the top of the still undestroyed
white tower. This was early in the
morning of October 9, when the uni
ted troops reached the tower and a
German soldier carved his name into
a beam in the tower, with the date
and hour, and added the title of the
old Lutheran hymn, nun danket ale
Gott!' (Now Praise Ye All Our GodD
Not funtil after the fighting had
passed beyond the crest of the Avala
mountain, southwark of Belgrade, was
the curtain rung down on this awful
entertainment.
