ONE OF THE WORST
HORRORS OF THE WAR
Serbian Girls Shipped by Thousands
Into Bulgaria and Turkey
for White Slaves
(AssOciated Press)

London, Aug. 21.-(Correspond-
ence).-Ten thousand Serbian girls
from ten to fourteen years old have
been kidnapped and deported from
Serbia to the harems of Constantine
pie, to Bulgaria and Asia Minor, say
advices received by Mr. Pasitch, the
Serbian premier, who is now in Lon
don.
'These deportations," said NJ. 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 impossi-
bic to predict how far it will go.
Eight thousand girls have been
sent to Constantinople, and two thou
sand more to Bulgaria and Asia Mi
nor. Prisoners whom we have taken
on the Saloniki front tell US that the
traffic in our girlhood has grown to
be byword in Bulgaria and Turkey.
"The girls are Kidnapped and taken
away secretly, particularly from the
smaller villages, until at present
dozens of small towns have been
quite denuded of the young female
population.
DO not LnlnK LnaI the lufkS are
the actual instigators of this gross
violation of the rules of civilized
warfare. All our information indi-
Gates that the Bulgarians are the
prime movers and the Turks only in
cidental benefciaries of the traffic.
'The girls are too young to be of
any use for laboring purposes, be-
sides neither Turkey nor Bulgaria is
seriously handicapped for labor, and
in Turkey the use of young, women
for outdoor work is practically un-
known.
"It is very difficult for us to do any
thing to help these unfortunate vic
tins. Our affairs in Constantinople
and Sofia are now in the hands of the
Dutch government. and we have made
the most earnest possible protests
through that government. But you
know how difficult it is to get any ac-
tion from Turkey. We have suggest
ed, for instance, that some scheme OF
repatriation be put into effect immed-
lately, 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 until peace comes"

we should conserve in every way

ways of serving them" Here are
some Of the points over which
Kokomo women have been ponder

First, the campaign for a clean

of polite society, a breach of table
good form, for society has always
taught that something should be
left on the plate for manners
sake" The remedy for this Is re-
turn to the old ways of serving. the
customs of our great grandmothers
when they used to place the steaming
dishes of vegetables and meat on the
table and each member Of the family
was allowed to help himself in pro-
portion. to his capacity or liking for
the dish.
Society has followed the rule that
enc should not stir the sugar in his
coffee cup and has added an extra
spoonful or two of sugar. Uncle
Sam wants that extra sugar now to
help feed the Allies. Society also
has a rule that it is not polite at a
dinner to refuse any one Of the
chief dishes, that very small helpings
must be made from every course.
