10000 SERBIAN
 GIRLS DEPORTED TURKISH HAREMS
Traffic Going On Since 1916 Says Serbian Premier, and Now is
 Systematized

LONDON. Ang S0.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Pressl-Ten thousand Serbian girls from ten to fourteen years old have been kidnap- ned and deported from Serbia to the harems of Constantinople. to Bulgar- ian and Asia Minor, says advices re- ceived by NJ Pasitch. the Serbian Premier. who is now in London.
 These depotatiens. said N. Pas itch. have been going on since Feb ruary 1916, but the number was very limited until a few weeks ago. Now it has been systematized under Bull garian controllers, and it is impossible 10 predict how far il viii go.
 Eight thousand girls have been sent to Constantinople. and two thou sand more 10 Bulgaria and Asia Min or. Prisoners whom we have taken on the saloniki front tell us that the traffic in our girlhood has grown to a byword in Bulgaria and Turkey.
 "The girls are kidnapped and taken away secretly, particularly from the smaller villages. until at present dog ems Of small towns have been quite de- nuded Of the young female population
 T do not think that the Turks ara the actual instigators of this gross violation of civilized warfare. All our information indicates that the Bulgar- ians are the prime movers and the Turks only incidentau beneficiaries of the traffic.
 The girls are too young to be Of any use for laboring purposes. besides neither Turkey nor Bulgaria is ser iously handicapped for labor, and in Turkey the use of young women for outdoor work is practically unknown.
 Tt is very difficult for us to do any thing to help these unfortunate vic tins. Our affairs in Constautironla and Sofia are now in the hands of the Dutch government, aac We have made the most earnest possible protests thru that government. But you know how difficult it is to get any action from Turkey. We have suggested. for instance, that some scheme Of repat- riation be put into effect immediately that the girls should be sent back to some place beyond the war zone. But fear it is too late to save them, and that We can only wait in patience un- til peace comes" T

DUTCH GOVERNMENT J0LTED BY RECENT
 POTATO RIOTS
England and Germany Supplied First Leaving No Potatoes
 For Hollanders

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Cor .respondence Of the Associated Press) The potato riots al Amsterdam and Rc--erdam this month have given the Datch government one of the most severe jolts it has experienced.
 The trouble began with | request n the part Of Germany that the ex- 2cr Of new potatoes should be permit ed immediately they began to reach
 ae market. As it was backed up by
 1e inJimation that only thus could ye ot-;2ted a reduction Of the ration 2z German coal Of 350000 tons . month 5a which the country and it's indust- les SC vilally depend, the Minister of Agriculture. r. E. Posthuma, gave way.
 The standing agreement provided hat F 000 tons of potatoes must be delivered to Great Britain before any further axpor- to Germany, and as the British authorities insisted on the strict fulfilment Of this obligation, the result was that the nome market, for two or three weeks preceding the ar rival Of the new crop in any quantity was bereft of it's supplies of the old and was practically bare.
 Finding themselves suddenly de- prived Of such conspicuous item in their daily menu. mobs of indignant housewives at Amsterdam and Rotter- dam raided any boats or wagons con aiming potatoes they could get at, and apparently managed to plunder a cer- tain amount destined for Great Brit ain. though they neither knew nor cared where the food was bound. h. deed, there was no suggestion what ever Of the riots being of an anti British character.
 The British authorities were the more displeased with the course things had taken as seeming to throw on them the odium of taking supplies which Holland herself needed, while, owing to shipment delays. the frontier seems to have been opened for ex- ports to Germany little while before the British supply had actually left the country. and London apparently has made its displeasure unpleasantly plain 10 the Netherlands government.
 The market is now flooded with po- tasces of the new crop, which besides supplying home needs, is expected to permit Of the export of 25.000 tons each to the United Kingdom and Ger. many.

Schnoor believ@ the system can be used commercially for the shipment Of fish to marke, plac- ing them before the consumer in a fresher and more appetizing condition than can be done by present methods. The system involves the use of large tanks for rail shipment, enclosed in outer covering which preserves an ev- en temperature and also encloses a re-oxygenerating device by which the water is kept properly aerated.
