SERBS, HOMELESS,
FIND LIVING HARD
CAN'T RESUME OLD LIFE BE-
CAUSE OF LACK OF FOOD
sTUFFs.

Kragujevatz, Serbia, Feb. 26.-The
distressing feature of the situation in
Serbia is the difficulty Of rehabilitat-
ing the hundreds of thousands who
were obliged to abandon homes and
lands that became battle areas during
the Austrian invasion. officers of the
Serbian government see no reason
why the people should not return. but
the difficulty lies In providing them
with grain for replanting and feeding
them until new crops are harvested.
This task has been undertaken but the
government Is handicapped by a lack
Of railway facilities and the almost i'm
passable roads. Help abroad is being
sought by the government for this ag
ricultural rehabilitation.
Societies that have operated in for
mer years to instruct the rural popu.
lation In methods Of intensive farming
have been demoralized by the wars In
such rapid succession. Therefore, de-
spite all the government is seeking to
accomplish visitor is apt to get the
impression that nobody in Servia is
doing anything that does not pertain
to the support Of the army. Women
and children have to be sacrificed to
the needs Of the grown male popula.
tion who must be kept in fighting trim
and in the fighting line at any cost.
Everywhere in Serbia The Associat-
ed Press correspondent heard the ma
tional plea that the country "is fighting
not only for the maintenance of her
present area, with its population of
over four millions, but for the libera.
| tion of the Slav states of Austria-Hun-
gary" II she succeeds, some eleven
millions will be added to her popula.
tion and every one recognizes that so
| gigantic task, even with Russias aid,
| cannot be accomplished without su.
preme sacrifices.
The Servians are accustomed to poy
erty and hardship, but there are said
to be a million persons really suffer.
ing distress from lack of food and
clothing. They have never been re.
duced to such destitution before And
the Serbians are contented with so lit
tie. The army lives chiefly on bread
and soup and most Of the peasants
even in normal times, do not eat meat
except on fast days. Help from the
Slavsdn America, liberal though it has
been, is not adequate to meet the sit
uation. Everyone here is pinning the
hope for life upon Americas philan.
thropic resources. The government Is,
sues a loaf Of bread day to every des.
titute family, but this is far from suf.
ficient in many cases.
There are some six thousand wound
ed soldiers here now and medical sup
plies are still inadequate. At the first
reserve hospital are party Of English
nurses who were brought here at the
beginning of the war with Madam
Slavko Grouitch, the American wife OF
the servian under-secretary Of foreign
affairs. Madame Grouitch also helped
organize the Red Cross work at Nish
and It was on her advice that the
American Red Cross Mission was
placed at Belgrade. All this work and
the fact that she has gone to America
to seek additional aid to relieve the
suffering of Serbia, has made her
name and that of American doctors
