death and desolation are making
Serbia a shamb1es.
One of these atrocities was related
to me today by General Vassich,
commander of Southern Serbia.
"The Bulgars," he said. "crawled
upon the battlefield at Babuna pass
at night and killed many Serbs
wounded with knives, as they cried
out i'll pain, defenseless."

the carts were strangely careless with
the wounded men. They walked rap
idly and took no pains to keep the
wheels out Of the smaller shell-holcs.
The forms rocked and pitched and
swaycd. The odd attitude of one of
them fascinated me; he was on his
back, his arms crossed before, but
not touching his face nor touching
each other. With every lurch OF the
cart his arms waved about rigidly and
stuck just where they were.
