London.--The situation In Serbia In
summed up in q communication re-
ceived By the British socialist party
from the executive committee Of the
Serbian socialists. It says:
"The Serbian population In the por.
tons Of our country occupied BY Aus
tria.Hungary Is now 2,218.0O0, accord
ing to Official census figures published
In the Oficial Journal Of Belgrade.
The population normally would have
been 8,170,00o.
'There ia, therefore, Q reduction Of
$4,000. or % per cent. The male
population has been reduced BY SS per
cent. There are now in Serbia IA
women to 100 men. In the districts
occupied by Bulgaria the reduction In
population is 100000.
Doctor Otokar Ribar, the Austrian
reichsrath deputy, declared In the VI
emma parliament on June 20:
"'Serbia will be saved, but there viii

~The deaths among war prisoners

Seriously Injured.

W. J. Chapman, who has been
with the Ford garage Of this city
for some time, met with q very
serious accident when an auto he
was riding in, which was driven
by Charley O'Neal Of Gatewood,
on return to the Bluff, last Fri.
day night, ran into the railing at
the Craven ditch bridge, the i'm.
pact throwing him out over the
railing onto the bed Of the creek.
The Citizen Democrat gives the
following account Of the acci.
dent:
Chapman and party Of three
friends started TO drive from this
sisy to Doniphan, the home Of the
members Of the party, past mid
night on Friday morning. They
had not gone far on the Doni.
phan road when the lights on the
car failed and they were left In
darkness. They were fearful Of
attempting to continue the trip
without lights. The pnr'y turned
around and started back iu the
city. The disaster occurred when
the party started over the Cra-
ven ditch bridge. Instead Of
striking the center Of the bridge
roadway, the machine struck the
side rail and the impact threw
Chapman through the windshield
and over the front Of the machine,
allowing him to fall into the ca.
nal OF the ditch.
When he was found, his back
was broken and paralysis Of his
lower limbs resulted. While re-
covery is hardly likely, should
he live, he will always be an in
valid.
He was taken to st. Louis to a
hospital and 10 progressing salts.
