A Serbian Soldiers Bravery.

The bravery of the Serbian soldier
and the manner in which he fights for
his beloved country are illustrated in
the following story, for the truth of
which q well-known and ardent Ser
bophile vouches Before the superior
forces of the enemy on one occasion Il
Serbian regiment had to retire. Of the
men serving the machine guns all but
one were killed and wounded, but this
man, instead of Withdrawing with his
comrades. continued to work his gun
with such fiendish energy that at last
the advancing enemy, not realizing that
he stood alone, and fearing trap, re-
tired in their turn. And so the situation
was saved by the courage of one man.
Ills exploit was duly reported to the
general. who sent fer him next day and
said fiercely: = Y on re q terrible fellow.
What 5 this | hear Of youa They tell
me it was 4 regular massacre. How
many men did you kill? The gunner,
much perturbed, stammered out his be
lief that certainly well over hundred
men must have fallen victims to his
machine gun. % Well. - said the general
frowning, ''there Is nothing fer it but
to make you corporal. > Oh, general,
exclaimed the man, who had expected
some kind of punishment. And now
Corporal, ! make ycu a sergeant.
Oh, general F." gasped the man, speech
less with astonishment. And now
Sergeant the general went on, .
make you lieutenant. = The new off
Ger burst into tears. And now,
cried the general, embrace me.

DIR. Ritter Said to Have Made
an Important Confession
at Cleveland
PRISONER SON OF
AUSTRIAN COUNT
According to One Prisoner
Claims to Be Inventor of a Liquid
Fire with Which He Has Been Ex-
Torimenting in Ohio.

cleveland, Ohio, Dec. /. - Federal
and county officials today were investi-
eating a confession which, they say,
was made to them in the Office of the
prosecuting attorney late yesterday by
d., Z. ". Ritter, in which he is said
to have told of having knowledge of
plots against munitions plants in the
United States.
Ritter was arrested on a charge of
passing a worthless check for $50 on
woman. He is being held in $4,000
bail until the story, which federal of
ficialg say he told, can be probed.
Among the items in Ritter s alleged
confession was the claim that his real
name is not Ritter, but that he is the
son Of an Austrian count and former
officer in both the Austrian and Ger
man navy.
Today, however, Ritter denied tc
newspapermen that he is the son of a
count. Ritter claims he is the inventor
of liquid fire, officers say, and that
ne has been experimenting extensively
with it in the local gas field

The married man should be
given due consideration when it
comes to giving employment. He
is the one who builds a city out
of a town. His family requires
a home to live in and food and
clothing, and he spends his money
at home for these necessities.
In many instances the man with
out a family earns stake" and
then goes to the big city to elbow
1t in" The married man buys a
lot on which to build a home for
his family as soon as circumstan-
ces permit, and he becomes a
most important asset to the town

comes a taxpayer and thus light

assumption that the administration
will be smart enough to keep the

to drive away Republican help on the

well known. the Republican party has
