Bulgarian guns doomed within ear.
shot Of the town. rumors Of plans for
a general massacre by the Bulgarians
of the few remaining Serbians civilians
filled the air The few remaining Ser
bian civilians were going to massacre
the Bulgarians. The Serbian soldiers
were going to loot the town. Among
the Bulgarians were hundreds Of Bull.
garian soldiers disguised as civilians,
who at the last moment would mobilise
in the town and ravage It. All these
rumors found believers.
Nish. when the German.Austrian
army entered Serbia, decorated with
flags Of the allies. believing the French
and British would come dashing In on
trains and stop the German tide. But
the days went by and the flass were
stained by the rains and became as
limp and lifeless as the hopes Of Nish
for rescue. Nish finally fell to the
Teutons and the Bulgars with the be.
draggled flags still hanging. The Ser.
bian folk at Uskub did the same. Us-
kub fell with Nish.
Monastir had no such feeling. In
Monastir, Bulgarian until three years
ago. were plenty Of folk who would
have hung German. Austrian and Bul. |
garian flags except for the presence Of |
. few Serbian soldiers. who held Mon |
astir with an iron hand. Through the |
nights before the Bulgarians came they |
marched the streets in patrols Of fours.
Serbian civilian volunteers stood at all
important street corners with rides.
Bulgarians found with firearms were
spies or traitors. and shot. |
The few Serbians in the town were
ords Of authority as long as their little
Irmy Of two regiments held Balbuna
Pass, forty miles north Of Monastir.
On Friday. November 18th. we saw q
TRANCE procession pass through the
treets. 1t was little regiment Of Ser.
ian farmers with shovels. In their
Iueer fur coats. woolen stockings and
i'd hats. they presented a most pecu.
lar sight. Their long handled, dia-
1ond-shaped shovels took the place Of
ayonets. The long rugged line ,
,arched out Of the town. Women and
iris ran alongside, carrying baskets of
BOD. A few miles out they stopped ,
nd began to dig trenches under the
lrection of Serbian officers.
This was the first sign that Monastir
as in danger. To the north the little
erbian army was giving way against :,
'rrific odds. Sometime soon they
ould come falling back through the
