SERBIAN ARMY Prepares
TO BALK HUNGARY INVASION
By the United Press. .

BY the United Press.
NISH, Serbia, May 3.-(By Mail to
New York;. Completely reorganized
and equipped, Serbia's little army of
10000 men that has twice already de-
feated the Austrians, is today hold
ing itself in readiness for an invasion
of Hungary.
Despite the heavy losses of the Ser
bians, both in their previous conflicts
with the Anstrians and in the cpl
demic which is sweeping the coun-
try. their army is now in perhaps bet
ter condition than ever before, thanks
largely to the financial help of the al
lies. The losses in the Serbian ranks
have been largely filled by new troops
that have been whipped into shape in
the provinces of Macedonia which
Serbia acquired during the recent
Balkan wars The fighting strength
is still up to 800 600 men, the num-
Der with which Serbia began the
present war.
Without question. however, the
most important Transformation in the
Serbian army is that in its transpor-
tation. Up 10 the present time. in
all of its military operations, the
Serbian army has been obliged TO
depend almost exclusively for trans
portation on OK carts.

TERRIBLE HAVOC
WROUGHT BY BOMBS
By HENRY wOOD.


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NISCH, Serbia. May 3.--(By Mail
TO New Yorkl-The throwing OF
hand bombs has been developed into
one OF the most formidable weapons
OF the Serbian army.
II is his ability along this line that
makes the Serbian soldier one OF the
best in the world. Another thing
which contributes TO the same reputa-
tion, at least. according to DR. 5. ii.
Hodge, one of the American Red
Cross surgeons in Serbia, is the Ser
bans ability TO get along without
commissary department.
"A peasant IN one OF the southern
Serbian provinces. for example" says
Dr. Hodges. will be called to the col
ors. The recruiting officer gives him
bunch of onions, ties a dozen bombs
onto him and turns him loose. No
further attention is paid to him and
no further provision is made for him,
but In the due course of time he
turns up at Belgrade. possibly with
his onions gone, but with his bombs
still intact. joins his regiment. and
the next day will be creating havoc
in the Austrian ranks by his bomb
singing"
The hand bombs now in general
use in the serbian army are about
the size of large orange. They are
exploded by means of a fuse and an
ordinary cigarette lighter is the only
other equipment furnished to the sol
der Every tenth soldier in the Ser
bian army. no matter In what branch
of the service, is now equipped solely
as a bomb thrower.
Austrian prisoners here were frank
in admitting the terrible havoc
wrought by these. They are especial
ly effective in breaking down the
barbed wire entanglements before
trenches that are being carried by as
sault and whcn finally they are hurl-
ed by the screeching. screaming Ser
bians into the midst of the trench de-
+ tenders themselves, panic almost in
evitably follows.
One Austrian officer. a prisoner at
Nisch, expressed 10 me as no one else
possibly couli the point of view Of
the Austrians as regards these bombs
as well as the efficiency of the bombs
themselves. The officer was one Of
position as prisoners is probably with
out an equal in the present war.
Austria has always at all times
looked down with the utmost con-
tempt on little Serbia and this has
especially been the case in military
circles. In the hopes of overcoming
this attitude, Serbia has chosen tc

The most modern and commodioul
set of barracks at Nisoh has been Sc
aside for them. they have been fur

very much the life Of an offcers
club. Little If any guard is placed
over them and Serbia has merely ask.
ed their word Of honor as officers that
they won't run away.
In spite of all this, the great bulk
of the officers make no attempt what
ever to conceal their superoilious
contempt for their captors. They
have even regarded their word Of hon.

little binding Importance that not a
