SERBIAN GIRLS DEPORTED
TO TURKEY AND BULGARIA

LONDON, September 3.-Ten thous-
and Serbian girls from ten to fourteen
years old have been kidnapped and de-
ported from Serbia to the harems of
Constantinople, to Bulgaria and Asia
Minor, says advices received by NJ.
Pasitch, the Serbian premier, who is
now in London.
These deportations, said M, Pas
itch, have been Going on since Febru-
airy, 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-
Bile to predict how far it will go.
Eight thousand girls have been sent
to Constantinople, and two thousand
more to Bulgaria and Asia Minor.
Prisoners who m we have taken on the
Saloniki front tell US that the traffic
in our girlhood has grown to be by
word in Bulgaria and Turkey.
The girls kidnapped and taken Sc
cretly away, particularly from the
smaller villages, until at present doz-
ems of small towns have been quite
denuded of the young female popula-
tion
Il do not think that the Turks are
the actual instigators of this gross
violation of the rules of civilized war
/ fare. All our information indicates
b that the Bulgarians are the prime
movers and the Turks only incidental
/ benefciaries of the traffic.
The girls are too young to De OF
any use for laboring purposes, besides
neither Turkey nor Bulgaria is Sc
riously handicapped for labor, and
il Turkey the use of young women for
outdoor work is practically unknown.
1T is very difficult for us to do
anything to help these unfortunate
victims. Our affairs in Constantine
pie and Sofia are now in the hands of
the Dutch government, and we have
made the most earnest possible pro-
tests through that government. But
you know no wdifficult it sto get any
action from Turkey We have sug
gested, for instance, that some scheme
Of repatriation be put into effect i'm
mediately, that the girls should be
sent back to some place beyond the
war zone. But I fear it is too late to
save them, an that we can only
wait in patience until peace con-,

SYRUPs SAND JELL|ES TO SERBIA SOON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. ST
the people down in the southeastern
United States knew what excellent
jellies, sirups, catsups, preserves
marmalades and jams are being
thrown -potentially-in the an
nual waste of Muscadine grapes which
grow so plentifulIy in that region,
they would save more of this fruit for
| food and drink.
Muscadine grapes weren't being
used widely in making home products,
| sTecialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture decided few
years ago, because the people hadn't
learned the possibilities of using this
crop exsept in the fresh state or for
wine making. Accordingly. some eX-
periments were begun to find out if
these grapes had possibilities for
home use.
A representative was sent into the
Muscadine-grape country to investi-
gate. The investigator didn't take
his laboratory outfit along but estab-
lished himself in typical farm kitchen
at the branch of an experiment sta
ton of the North Carolina Depart
ment of Agriculture at Willard. The
work was carried on simultaneously
with other kitchen work on wood
burning range with ordinary kitchen
utensils Results were sought which
would be applicable to farmhouse
conditions.
That these grapes can be prepared
ways without the use of large quanti-
ties of sugar and are therefore with
in many attractive and appetizins
| in the means of all families, was
learned by the specialist. Unferment-
ed srape juice, jellies canned grapes,
sirups and catsups probably are the
most desirable home products, taking
in consideration quality, expense
and the labor required in their prep
artion. Preserves, marmalades, and
jams require larger quantities OF
sugar and are more difficult to pre-
pare, while the larger percentage OIL

NAo1lNGlO u. u, sept. D.
The War Council of the American
Red Cross today announces the send
ing of a commission to Serbia to be-
gin Immediately relief work in that
stricken country and to help its scat
tered population in the struggle against
privaion and disease. Two hundred
thousand dollars has been appropri-
,ated by the War Council to buy medi-
cal and other supplies for use among
refugees on the Macedonian front
The fifth of the Red Cross Commits
sions goes to study problem ac>
knowledged as one of the most formid-
able in Europe. There is hardly a
family in Serbia that has not been
uprooted and torn from its home, and
none that has not lost some member
or the battlefield.
What have been the nations losses
during the past five years of blood-shed
cannot be estimated. From an army
of nearly half million at the be-
ginnig of the war, over a hundred
and fifty thousand men, are estimated
to have been taken prisoners by the
Central Powers and are suffering
from malnutrition in prison camps.
Many thousands were lost in the re-
treat through Albania. Of the army
of one hundred thousand now in the
Saloika front, about sixty thousand
are actual fighting men.
The civilian population has suffer-
ed as greatly as the army. 1t has
been harried over the face of Europe
One hundred and fifty thousand father
less families, it is estimated are fac
ing restitution in various countries.
Refugees in Russia, Roumania, Greece,
Italy, France and Switzerland number
over thirty thousand Fifty thousand
families ar interned in Austrian
camps. After the massecres at Nish
| last February, when twenty thousand
Serbians died in revolt, upwards OF
thirty thousand of these unhappy peo-
pile were deported by the Bulgarians
into Asia Minor.
The pressing needs of Serbia have
been laid before the Red Cross War
Council by DR.. Edward Ryan, Red
Cross representative at SalOnika and
: by Miss Emily Simonds, graduate OF
Roosevelt Hospital, New York, who
enlisted in the Serbian Red Cross in
1914 and has since then assited in
the relief of thousands of refugees

report to the Red Cross, she said;
There were only four hundred doc
tors in all Serbia at the be2innig OF
the war, and the death rate rate has
been high. Sixty died of typhus alone
in January and February, 1915. There

Deputy Sheriff Barker went to the
scene of the wreck soon after the col

to be used in case prosecutions are

at the point of collision indicates that
Martel was crowded close to a ditch

turned abruptly in front of the truck.

BUT COURT ASKS
ABOUT EVIDENCE
LlanOs Is Apparently Tired
of Being Confined in the
County Bastile.
COURT REQUESTS
TRANSCRIPT CASE
Defers Judgment Until Evi-
dence Is Submitted to
Show About Crime.

| When Eustace Llanos pleaded gull
ty this morning in Judge Coles court
to charge of burglary in connection
with a complaint filed by H. E. AL
lett of Calipatria, it developed that
apparently very little evidence was
against the defendant.
1t appeared to those present that
Llanos was merely pleading guilty
because he did not know what else
to do. He had been in Jail for sew
eral months and was given his pre-
liminary hearing this morning before
Justice Mayfield. He asked that he
be given chance to plead immedi-
Iately and was taken to the Superior
court.
With the aid of an interpreter
Llanos told the court that he had
nothing to say, only that he would
like to be sentenced. When the dis
trict attorney was asked if he had
any recommendation to offer. it was
found necessary to seek the files to
discover just what Llanos was guilty
of.
District Attorney Nicholas told the
court that to the best of his recol-
lection Llanos had not stolen a. "
thing, but was caught near the cash
register in Allett's store and was
chased into the street and arrested.
1t was not known this morning
whether Llanos had taken anything
from the premises. The court an
nounced that judgment would be de-
ferred until further investigation
could be made.
