come from the Serbian guns, sweep
ing them into the river.
"It was not numbers that over
came the Serbians. but the terrible
German guns. Veterans whom
nursed in the hospitals wept when
they said that, IL the Allies had only
supplied the cannon, they could have
fought any foe.
After the bombardment the re-
treat began. Thirty thousand refu-
gees died OF starvation and expo
sure in the cold mountain passes and
on the roads. They fed without
food and with only what clothing
they could carry. We were II days
in reaching Salonika, and subsisted
upon a slice of dry bread and a cup
of strong tea. without sugar or milk,

US died OF hunger. We crossed the
mountains on the back of mules and
worn-out horses. and were nearly
exhausted when We finally reached
starving Albania. This was the dip
lomatic corps; the poor refugees
who went in the other direction, to
Medua, on the Adriatic, found moth
ing but barren coast awaiting
them and largely perished. They
thought that they would be taken
of by italian ships, but none we're
there and Medua had been devas
