dered to become a Bulgar soldier had
escaped to the mountains and price
has been placed on his head. This
experience in the family of the Ser
bian Deputy is merely typical Of the
thousands we are hearing of from all
quarters daily.
I'VE have received full details Of
the revolt which the Serbian peasants
remaining in the country directed
against this Bulgar OPPRESSION" the
minister continued. This has come
in letter from a well-known teach
err. The revolt was really a revolt
of women of the Serbian mothers,
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 women's movement be-
came so threatening that a German
division at Nish was sent to quell it.
When this failed, two Bulgar divisions
were sent against the increasing ranks
Of the revolt.
This gave the Bulgars the oppor-
tunity to perpetrate a new infamy.
Sending their troops against the
women, they took as prisoners a large
number of the wives. mothers and
sisters who had protested against their
men being taken as Bulgar soldiers.
Then these wives and mothers were
formed in ranks; placed ahead of the
Bulgar divisions, and in this battle
order with the Serbian women III
front as a screen for the Bulgar
troops-these divisions pushed against
the main body of the revolving peas.
ants 1t was only by such methods
of using the women as screens, and by
resortin4 to the most extreme cruelty
that the revolt was finally put down.

The minister spoke of the increas-
ing needs Of these Serbian peasants
during the coming cold months. Those
Serbs who have escaped, and who are
here at Corfu and at various Balkan
points, can send little or no relief,
for they lost everything and have
nothing to give.
1T is for this reason" said the
minister, that the funds advanced
by the United States government are
truly providential, and are saving Ser
bian lives, thousands Of them"
The advance made by the United
States was 100000 francs, or $3,-
100000. This was designed to cover
a period Of three months; and at this

In making the expenditures, the

mated simultaneously from too many

dental. He asks that each chapter

criticism should be challenged aud care
fully investigated. The Red Cross is
being run as an open book. 1t has no
secrets, it is making a sincere effort
to serve mankind and IS doing il as
carefully and economically as il knows
how. Its accounts are to be audited
! by the war department, and the ut
most effort is being made to give pub
LEFTY to all its activities.
| Mr.. Gibson asks members and the
lpnbhe generally to proceed on the the
DRY that nothing against the Red Gross
should be believed until 4 thorough
investigation has been made.
