near the firing line where their ser vices are in great demand because of the heavy slaughter among the Serbian troops, who are bravely resisting the invasion of their country by Teutonic armies.
 Mime. Mabel Grouitsch, the Amer ican wife of the Serbian under sec- retary for foreign affairs, has writ ten to Otto T. Barnard of New York, describing the bonn bardment of Bel grade and also telling of preparations she had made to transfer the Baby hospital staff to the zone of battle. Regarding the latter she writes:
 Physicians Wounded.
 ''The news is coming in that there is great many wounded outside our lines around Belgrade and not enough nurses or staff doctors to care for them, so I have, volunteered to take the staff of my hospital as a field hospital until other help can be ob- tained and we are leaving tomorrow night for the front. We are very proud at being allowed to go, be- cause it will be. the first time that women have been allowed anywhere near the Serbian front. And I take it as a great honor that within one hour. from the time my request went up to headquarters I had the order which gave me full military hospital rights including a great big motor ambulance, Dr. Travis Sister Metcalf, Sister Utley, Miss Shelley, our house. Keeper, Miss Parkinson, our inter- preter Mrs. ..Braditch, and. six of the young Americans who have been out here, doing sanitary work. We will take our tents and hope to be able to give, not only first aid, but cheer and comfort to many of the brave fellows who have been wounded while defending their country against an advance by the Austro-German for ces.
 The Heroic Serbians.
 News is coming in every hour of the stupendously heroic things being done by the Serbian troops. On a small island near. Belgrade where the Germans used asphyxiating gas be- fore trying to make a charge, the Serbians put on their masks and crossed through, the smoke with only few sneezes to show they felt 1t. They took a great many prisoners, who were more than astonished. At Semendria four German regiments
