Serbia, 500 Years Old, Making
Her Last Fight-D e f e a t
Means Annihilation Both of
Nation and People-An Hero
ic History Facing a Pitiful
End.
(From the New York Tribune. }

F'rom the New York Tribune.
Time and again in the present struggle
the thought must come to those who are
watching ii that the very nearness OF the
thing is obscuring the vision. bewilder-
ing and benumbing the senses and maxi
ing mankind oblivious today to the
things that tomorrow and forever will
endure in the minds of man. And in this
order of thought the struggle in Serbia
naturally holds first place
What we are looking out upon in the
Balkans now is not war as modern his
tory knows war. 1t is not the moderated
barbarty of the conflict between armies
trained and equipped, composed OF soi
diers, going forward to fight in the ac-
customed manner of war. Not an army,
but a nation. is fighting. Not men, but
men, women and children a whole race
three generations are holding the trench
es defending the smoking villages ann
dying in the burning farmhouses
If Serbia falls she does not lose lnde-
neodence merely She does not lose
provinces. economic independence OF po~
litical liberties. She loses life. so IN the
older periods tribes fought against trlpeS'
and the losers did not surrender-they
perished from the face of the earth 20
the barbarians descending upon Rome
swept before them not cities and palaces,
not walls and arsenals and monuments
but abolished the fraction OF mankihu
that could be called Roman.

Not Defeat but determination.

Such would have been the fate OF
was the fate of those races which faced
and fought Ghenghis Khan. 1t is snni-
hilation, not defeat, that overhangs
100000 and a half of men, women and
children who are fighting not to win
campaigns, not to attain power-aN that
has vanished-they are not fighting to
liberate the millions of captive Serbs be-
yond the Danube and the Save.
The battle of Serbia is the simplest.
most primitive of all struggles. A year
ago, when the Austrian troops crossed
the Save and approached Volieyo they
killed as they advanced. AS they retreat
ed they left behind them a smoking
wilderness. They came to destroy a race,
they retired defeated. but left behind
them an appalling wilderness and for
the victorious survivors the crowntng
tragedy of q typhus epidemic.
Those who invaded Belgium slew the
child and ravished the mother, wher-
ever there was a military purpose to be
achieved But the crimes were commit
ted IN a narrow field, the victims were
relatively few. There was no general
massacre or widespread prescription
Belgium lost her liberty, she saw many
Of her monuments wrecked, not few
of her women defiled-but, a sullsn,
stricken captive, she survived.
No such fate waits for the Serbs if
German, Austrian and Bulgarian armies
prevail 1t is war to destruction. to
the knife-it is the ma noge" of Serb
and Bulgar alike. The spectacle is more
terrible, more complete, more appalling
than any that modern war has known or
the alleged civilization Of recent con"
turies permitted.
