DEPORTING SERBS
into ASIA Minor
BulgarianS Kill Those Who Make
An Attempt to Escape

Washington, Oct. EN- a state
mont issued last night dealing with
atrocities committed by the Bull
garians against the Serbians the Ser
bian Legation makes public for the
first time the text of captured Bull
garian military order. The statement
follows:
mot long ago, in the Vienna Parla-
ment, Deputy DIR. V. Rider declared
that the horrors of this war affected
none of the Allies SO terribly and
gravely as the Jugoslav people. Once
fourishing cities and villages are row
in ruins. From the district of Nish
alone the Bulgarians have deported
more than 10000 people to the de-
serts of Asia Minor. Since the times
of Kossovo the Serbian people have
experienced no greater catastrophe.
Nov, we are again in possession
Of very important document. which
illustrates the state of affairs pre-
vailing in subjugated Serbia. This
document, which was despatched by
the Bulgarian War Ministry to the
Bulgarian headquarters staff. fell into
the hands of the British army at
the Saloniki front
From this document, of which we
give the exact translation, it Is clear
~ 20 De seen Lnat the enforced re-
cruiting Of Serbians in the Moraxa
district is being conducted by Bull
garians, and that when these recruits
were deported to Bulgaria regrettable
events occurred. i. e., the mutiny' of
the Serbian recruits in the neighbour
hood of Karlova, etc.
MANY of these recruits deserted
The Bulgarians punished these desert
ers by Whipping and hard la Dor.
Afterward.' contrary to the law of
nations and The Hague convention,
these unfortunate deserters were shot,
their houses burned down, their be-
longings confscated, and their
families deported from Serbia to
xrpal.
1.-THE Bulgarians also armed their
civil population in order to complete
the determination of the Serbian ma
ton.

On the Rumanian front, in the Sell

In the Ruzeu region the enemy
shelled our positions near the village
of Mackemeni, north of the mouth of
the Buzeu river, for half an hour.
Bulgarian infantry then attacked our
positions and occupied several ad-
vanced trenches. Our. position was
restored by a counter attack.

RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR
 THE ROYAL ARcANUM
On Petition of Arthur L. Hobart of
 Braintree, a Member.

Boston, April 15.-Thomas J. Boyn- ton, formerly attorney general of Massachusetts, was appointed receiver of the supreme council of the Royal Arcanum by Federal Judge 'Aldrich yesterday. The appointment was made on petition of Arthur l.. Hobart of Braintree. a member of the order, who holds a death benent certificate amounting to $500. Hobart alleged that the reserve fund of the society, amounting to $3,s00,0 had been ille- gally administered and that 1t would be entirely depleted within two years unless the court interfered. He ask ed that an injunction be issued pre- venting the officers from further ad- ministering the fund and that the re- -ceiver wind up the affairs of the coun- ciI.
 The petition stated that $11o,00O was lost from the fund last year in the sale of bonds of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that in 1915 the sum of S1, 100000 was illegally taken from the fund for preferential pay ments of death benefit claims.
