Gun reconstructing Serbia, Austria
Hungary has charge Of the work, but
at the top Germans are directing it.
If the people will agree to become
Germans-insofar as it is possible to
make them over-a point has now
been reached where the conQuerors eV-
idcntly are disposed to treat them
humanely.
Men are being invited to return to
their homes on condition that the"
cultivate the land in the Aust.e~Ger-
mans interests. Russian prisoners
are even being loaned to help with
farm work.
Mills are being refitted with mod
ern machinery, expert engineers have
assumed management of the mines
and every effort is being made to fino
workers in both from the native popu-
lation.
A similar policy is being adopted
in Montenegro. At the same time these
Industrial and agricultural improve
ments are in progress, both countries
are being turned practically into huge
Notifications.
Schools also are being opened. In
Belgrade two are running, with to-
tai attendance Of about 5000. lnstruc-
ton, however, is solely in German.
Serbian children are compelled to
learn it, whether trey wish to or not.

On Saturday afternoon the Imperial
Valley College Women's Club held its
April meeting in the Masonic hall in
Imperial. The hall was prettily deco
rated with sweet peas. AS it was
guest day, there were about 80 per-

School rendered some piano selections,
among them being LISTS Hungarian
Rhapsody" She also accompanied Miss
Donley, who sang some charming
songs. The Imperial members of the
club then gave farce in which the
heroine was a newly-graduated daugh-
tire of poor and ignorant parents,
whose education at Simperton Semi
nary had untitled her for her station
in life. 1t was very amusing and all
the parts We're well played, showing
that college women do not forget the
good times they used to have in COL
lege dramatics. The cast included
Mrs. f. d. Stuart, Mrs Robinson, Miss
Ida Marks, Miss Nelson, Mrs. Down
or and RMS. c. A. Nagle.

rate, as long as the present drought
continues moisture conservation should

Land should be cultivated after
