Nfsh and put in prison. where she went insane. Meantime tho boy or dered 10 become a Bulgar soldier had escaped to the mountains and price has been placed on his head. This experience in the family of the Serbian deputy is merely typical of the thousands we are hearing of from all quarters daily.
 eve have received full details of the revolt which the Serbian peasants remaining in the country directed against the BulSar oppression" the minister continued. "This has come in a letter from a well known teach CT. The revolt was really a revolt of wives and sisters-in a frantic pro test against having their sons, hus- bands and brothers forced into the Bulgar ranks to fire on Serbian sol diers, This womens movement be- came so threatening that a German division al Nish was sent to quell it. When this failed, two Bulgar divi- sions were sent against the increas- ing ranks of the revolt.
 This gave the BulgarS the oppor- tunity to perpctrate new -infamy. Sending their troops against the women, they took as prisoners a large sisters who had protested against their men being taken as Bulgar sol diers. Then these wives and mothers were forced in ranks; placed ahead of the Bulgar divisions, and in this

go far beyond the Austrians, for the Austrians have a trial and a formal condemnation to death. But the Bull Gars have no trial or condemnation. The order to kill is given, and the soldiers are practically free to take life on their own judgment without any order"
 As documentary evidence of this killing, the Serbian ministry of for eign affairs have had photographs. copies of which were given to the correspondent. showing six Serb peasants strung up side by side from rough stakes driven in the ground with a cross piece above for the moose. while groups of soldiers and officers are gathered about, laughing over the contortions of the victims. The Bulgar policy is to consider Serbia and the Serbian people as an l initiated" pr. Nintchitch went on. "To this end they hold that the Seros no longer exist, and every Serb must | become Bulgar, take Bulgar name and become a Bulgar citizen.
 "Our Minister of War, General Terzitch, has just gone through a l trying family experience of this kind. 1 His aged mother, over 70 year old, ! remained in Serbia after the exodus, as she was too old and feeble to make the journey. All trace of her had been lost. but when she was finally located, General Terzitch ap- l piled through the relief authorities | for her transfer. But to this appli- cation the reply has now come back
 from the Bulgar authorities that
 Mme Terzitch cannot leave the coun-
 try as she had become a Bulgar | citizen.
 The drafting of Serb peasants as l soldiers in the Bulgar ranks is one of ] the worst forms of cruelty being practced. This is systematically car | ricd out, with notices posted in all public places telling all men over r years of age to report for military
 duty. This placing of a whole popu- lation in the military service of the enemy is an unheard of cruelty. and contrary to every rule of interna-
 tional dealing in time of war But
 it is justified by the Bulgar on the
 theory that Serbia does not exist and
