ribie picture OF the flight of the peo-
pie of Serbia before the Austrian
army Is drawn in letter just received
by Miss Helen Loxaniteh of the Ser
bfan Agricultural Relief Committee of
America, from her brother. Lieutenant
Miiovoi Lozanitch. of the Serbian
army.
The Serbians had seen SO much
from the first Austrian invasion,
that when the second came the whole
population fed In front OF the enemy"
he writes. 81 have seen a mother
carrying two babies in her arms, with
out shoes on her feet, which were cut
and bleeding from the stones; yet she
couldn't stop as she knew that would
mean death for her and her children.
IT was as though the people were flee
ing before an inundation.
THE nearer our army got to the
enemy. the more wagons and people
we met. We had to stop them until
we got past with our guns. On the
roads were men. women, children,
oxen, cows and sheep, carriages and
wagons of household furniture. In
some carts were children very nicely
dressed. These beautiful costumes OF
the children and the sad and serious
faces OF the older people presented a
strange contrast. The nearer we got
to the enemy, the more terrible was
the terror stamped on their faces.
II am not exaggerating when 7 tell
you that a mother in q wagon had not
time to stop and pick up her child
when IL fell out. All realized that II
thy stopped they would be taken. The
food gave out on the way and I saw
a mother give her child away to peo-
pie who had food. met many lost
children. A boy OF ten was lost and
our company took him up for fort
night. He took part In the battles un-
til we sent him to the next town in
charge of an ofYicer's family.
Just think OF the frightful mis-
fortune Of those who have left their
homes, whose houses are burned
down, and they have nowhere 10 go.
As you know. in these districts there
are about 1870 to 140 people living in
each square kilometer. It 10 a very
much populated part OF the country.
In France there are only about seven
ty-sfx people to a square kilometer.
All the farms are devastated. stables
and granaries torn down. and the
food and farming implements burned.
You can imagine a place where the
Austrians have been once. but just
think what happened when they made
their second appearance in the same
place.
During one battle quite near our
battery was house where the Serbian
Red Cross people were. They put out
a white flag. The minute the
Austrians saw the Red Cross flag they
started bombarding and the house was
struck. Some OF the wounded were
killed on the spot. An old man and an
old woman, the proprietors OF the
house. were killed and the house was
burned"

AUSTRIAN SUBMARINE

Rome May 2s.-An Austrian SUBJ
marine was sunk in an engagement
yesterday off Venice between two
Italian torpedo boats and two Aus

One of the latter was repeatedly
struck and emitted a, column of black
smoke. This was followed by an ex-
plosion which hurled column of
water high over the surface. II Is
supposed that the submercible then
sank. No damage was caused to the
Italian vessels.
