THERE'S A CRY FROM MACE
DONIA, COME AND HELP U.s.

THE BALKANS.

She has this to her advantage, however,
which Serbia did not have. The Allied
army will find its forces constantly diverg-
ing instead of converging, as was the case with
the Austro-German-B ulgar invasion of year
ago. From the south the Allies must go in at
least three directions. Mainly north along
the Vardar River and the railroad, but also
up the Struma Valley towards kustendil and
Sofia on the east and into the Presba sea
basin and Monastir over divide to the west
of the main attack Thousands of Russian
prisoners have changed the traditional morass
roads of Serbia into military roads paved with
rock taken from the hillsides. Although the
Verdun attack had begun, there were forty
huge mortars lying idly in village just south
of Nsh when | left the Bulgarans in the

twice that number lined up in German pre-

IN THE BALKAN THEATRE OF
WAR ONE NEVER KNOWS WHO
WILL PLAY THE LEAD.

The Serbian empire, covering large part
of the former Bulgarian one, came to sad END
in 1889, when Sultan Amurath defeated them
at the Battle of Kossovo in the famous Field of
Blackbirds" Nemesis came to the Turk N
1912. when the little Balkan Allies, each
hating the other combined for long
enough to drive him out of Europe. The
Bulgarian swallowed the same dose
few months later, when the Serb and
Greek attacked him and, with the Turk,
retook most of his gains from the First Bal
kan War. In the autumn of 1915, when the
whole of Europe was at war because OF an
alleged Serbian murder of an Austrian arch
duke Bulgaria joined the Central Powers and
caused the great Serbian hegira over the
snowy hills of Albania. Now, just year later,
after her triumphant restoration OF the ancient
kingdom, Bulgaria stands almost deserted by
her Central Allies, facing superior army OF
French and English on the south, the terrible
Cossack and the uncertain Rumanian on the
north and the jealous Italian just over the
divide at Elbassan, in Albania. There is al
WAYS a threat in the Balkans, with con-
siderable degree of fulfilment.
But to come to current history. After the
disorganized Serbian army had luckily driven
tho invading Austrian out of her kingdom IN
1914, the Goddess Of Retribution, called Meme
sis, sent the spotted typhus and killed her SOL
diers and civilians by the thousand. About the
same time the English and French Struggled
battery and some soldiers in civilian clothes
through Salonica, placing them at Belgrade 1or
nrotection from the Austrian army at Semlln,
gather them together sent a mission over 10
rid Serbia of typhus. 1t was like another In
vasion. but they did some good sanitary WORK,
and with the warm weather the plague DIS
anneared. Serbia was clean and healthful
again; she had the promise Of the Allies that
she should be protected, and she had an agree
ment with Greece, in case Bulgaria, the dark
enemy on the east, ever attacked. Aiso' she
had a tentative treaty with Rumania to the
same effect.
With these precautions Serbia felt safe
guarded and confident. The batteries eX-
changed their half-dozen random shots a day
across the Danube and Save, while the Eng
Ish major at Belgrade never failed, lombard
ment or quiet, to take his tea at the American
Hospital. The officials Communicated Amer
lean relief automobiles for Joy rides under
the plea of seeing if the corn was ripe. Inc
colonel in charge of one expedition asked the
American leader to bring his wife to Nish from
her summer home at bathing place. There
was no gasoene, and the colonel agreed TO
furnish it from the government stores IN re-
turn for the favor. Four days later the col
onel's aid approached the American camp with
a note:

"IF THE ALLIES WOULD ONLY
COME" BUT THE BULGARS
AND THE GERMANS
CAME INSTEAD.

"They fight like devils. We can beat men
but not demons" 1t was the Wanted bayonet
fighting that drove them back on that front.
AS in 1885, the terrible Bulgarian cry, Ma
pref, ma nosh," or "On with the knife" was
sufficient to move the Serb back to new
position.
1t is only fair to say that the Serb fought
valianty and did terrible damage until forced
to take his first step backward.
"If the Allies would only COME" was the
official cry in Nish Immediately voiced by the
masses. "If the Allies would only GOMEZ!
But the Bulgars slipped across the hills a.
Vranya south of Nish, cut the railway line
and destroyed the bridge. The Allies would

against the Teuton Cannon were scarce in
the Balkans, and must be saved at all cost.
Rear guard infantry fought against advanc-
ing artillery. General Gievchevitch, of the
Army in Defence of Belgrade, had as his
proudest boast that he had never lost gun.
He hadn't, but they were all ahead of his re-
treating forces.

For several weeks I stood being
separated from Andre az best l
could. continually hoped and be-
lieved that he would not let me
leave him thus and at such q time
without some effort to bring me
back to him. My husband knew per.
fectly. II he stopped to think at all,
that had not left our home for any
reason similar to the one for which
he would have left II. I did not 20
because Andre 'irritated or an

a. long as l dared. But when his
constant absence left me 90 much
alone with no one to call to, or be
with me. In case Of any sudden Ill
ness, I dared not risk the life Of
the little being dependent upon me
any longer. had written q note
and left 1t in my husbands room
telling him I was going to stop for
q few weeks with Stella King, my
friend.
Down In the bottom Of my heart
I think I hoped that this move of
mine would bring Andre some real
ixation OF my desperate need OF
him. Perhaps hoped That he
would follow me. insist that ! re-
turn, and that all would be once
again a. II was in the days Of our
courtship. Just at FIRST Stella's ten
der care, her anxiety to keep my
mind diverted and cheerful soothed
me and banished some Of my nerv-
BUSINESS. But gradually my thoughts
reverted to my husband once more.
I would sit for hours. when Stella
was not about, brooding upon the
misunderstandings which had come
between the man I loved and my
self: wondering wherein II had been
my fault; trying TO see the future
through my tear-dimmed eyes.
At last could stand II no longer.
I was ashamed to admit to Stella

that n Andre would not come to
