mand that Mrs. Farwell and Forbes be
allowed to leave Monastir.
A Red Cross agent, who reported
the attack to Stuart, said they were
safe last Wednesday, but that the stu
alton was growing very unpleasant, if
not actually dangerous Forbes, ac-
cording to reports received by Red
Cross officials here, purchased "A car
loads of flour from the Serbs before
they evacuated Monastir. He stored
it in the Red Cross headquarters and
was distributing small portions daily
to the 1000 impoverished civilians in
Monastir.
The BuIgars repeatedly demanded
troops offering double prices. Forbes
refused, explaining that the flour was
the property of the American Red
Cross for distribution among civilians.
When the Bulgars threatened to con-
fiscate the flour, Forbes hung an
American flag over the door.
Flag Is Torn Down.
Several Bulgarian officers, with 80
soldiers, suddenly descended upon the
building and tore down the flag. One
officer, who said he was former
deputy sheriff in Kansas, said to
Forbes:
II know that rag. It's only good
enough to scare MexicanS, not Bull
CARS"
Several soldiers bounced upon
Forbes, according TO reports received
by Red Cross officials here. In the
struggle, an officer struck him with
the butt of his sword.
Mrs. Farweu attempted to photo
graph the invaders. Three soldiers
seized her by the neck and arms and
smashed her camera. The Bulgars
then seized two carloads of flour and
warned Forbes and Mrs. Farweu not
to attempt to leave the building.
A Red Cross agent, who was sent
into Serbia in an attempt to reach
Forbes and Mrs. Farwell, was turned
back at the Bulgar line. He gathered
the story of the raid from Bulgarian
officers with whom he conversed.

the 10 per cent month merchants it
is almost impossible to settle the ac-
count"
Montgomery had just received a call
from a negro, employed by the Santa
Fe. The man borrowed s12 from a To-
cal money lender in October, 1919
SO in one loan and 81 in a second
loan a few days later.
There was sickness in my family
and 1 just had to have some money"
the man told Montgomery.
One Mans Case.
Receipts produced by the victim
showed that he had paid $27.40 on
the principal and interest He also
claimed a further credit of S3-mak-
ing a total credit of S30.40 on the S12
erals office with the information that
he still owed SO principal and $3.50
interest. In other words, if all ac-
counts were settled at once, the negro
would discharge the $12 loan by the
payment of $4S-90-
After figuring an interest rate of
ten per cent year on the loan, Mont
gonery presented a claim of SIT to
the loan agency on the 5000 paid.
Unless this amount IS returned to the
negro, suit will be filed, it was as
serted.
Another victim stated that he had
borrowed $40 a year ago, had paid
$32 and now owed $46.
