Southern Slavs. These Slavs have COM

The area of this Jugoslav country IS
nearly as large as that of Great Brit

the Great War was about twelve and
half million. This population was d.
vided into three sections, the Slovenes,
Croatians and Serbians, the latter two
deriving their name from the medi@val
Croatian and Serbian states. The Slo-
venes and Croatians are Catholics,
which is largely the result of their
suhiection TO Austria, while the Ser

Napoleon Stirred
National Spirit

The Slovenes and the Croats began 20
bestir themselves at the same time as
the Serbs. Fer moment fortune
smiled on them. Napoleon had united
them under a single administration, and
the vision Of national restoration
seemed near realization. But the Con-
grees of Vienna, 1915, restored them TO
the Hapsburgs. However, the awakened
spirit expanded in spite Of all persecu-
tion. In lS4s a formidable Croatian
rebellion occurred. which resulted IN
autonomy for Croatia within the
bounds of Hungary.
At the same time the Slovenes awoke
and generated a renaissance OF their
own. both political and cultural. Re
sisting all efforts at Germanization, the
Slovenes have resurrected their ma
tionsl spirit Of old. and in 1882 OBJ
tanned a majority at the elections to
the Diet.

Both in Serbia and Bosnia there was
the nucleus OF a greater Jugoslav
state. Had history taken a different
course in the fourteenth century, a
united Jugoslavia, or South Slavic state.
might have been in existence in the
Balkans in our time. Needless TO say
that such state would have made i'm
possible the Teuton ambitions, and con-
sequently the Great War, as Austria
Hungary would not have been strong
enough 70 become Prussia's ally.
But in the fourteenth century the
Turks came 10 Europe, atrophying all
Jugoslav national life. Writes a Jugo-
slav historian Of the Turkish INVASION:
at was something terrific. irresist-

like the floods that break down every

efforts prove unavailing. The Turks

Vienna, Venice and Poland. Our people

could have withstood their onset in
our place?
"Our people fought bravely against
the Turks, and although they were
themselves defeated, yet by their re-
sistance they saved Europe from one of
the greatest dangers that ever threat
ened her. Our nation served Europe as

Austrians the
Worst Oppressors

While the Turks ruled Serbia and
Bosnia. the largest part of Croatia fell
under the domination of the Venetian
Republic. The Jugoslavs suffered as
much under the Venetian yoke as under
the Ottoman, and resisted all Italian
influences for assimilation. But no
Southern Slav will condemn the Turk
or Italian as much as the Austrian, who
succeeded them both. Austria 70 the
Jugoslavs epitomizes misery and SUI
fering unparalleled. IL was under the
Austro-Hungarian yoke that the Jugo-
slav race was subjected to the most in
human treatment in its history. When
the eighteenth century was nearing its
end there were no independent or au-
tonomous Jugoslav national groups.
The Slovenes, Croats and Serbs were
all in bondage. But out of this bondage
sprang that wonderful movement for
Jugoslav reunion.
This movement originated early in
the nineteenth century and continues
in our time. The first 10 rise was
Serbia. which was only Turkish prov
ince in 1904. Under the leadership of
Kara George, and with the aid OF
Russia, Serbia bat,led till it won au-
to consolidate its conquests. Since
1860 it became the centre OF the Jugo-
s!ev movement, planning TO liberate the
other Southern Slavs Of their yokes.
In concert with it's neighbors, Serbia
sought to overthrow the Turks suze-
rainty over the Jugoslavs. Bosnia was
made ready for revolt. The nationalist
leaders Of the Croats were in the con-
fidence of Serbia. But through the
death of the chief, Prince Michael, the
scheme failed, and Serbia obtained her
complete independence only in 1878.
Serbia was the pioneer in the Jugo-
slav national movement. Bosnia fol-
lowed her in an effort to secure free.
dom from the Turk. Several insurrec-
tions occurred in the course of the last
century, but failed. In 1878 Bosnia
was occupied and inel90S it was an
rexed by Austria-HunEary, producing
terrible effect on the Southern Slavs, as
we'll as the Slavs all over the world.

Along with the Slovenes, the Croats
founded a state on the Adriatic littoral

the Croats committed the mistake OF

Men Driven Under
Guns of Enemy

While feeble and old men and women
were being exterminated, their sons
and husbands were driven into the
military service and sent TO the first
lines on the front, from where,
wounded and crippled, they returned
TO their homes, finding them looted aud
destroyed, not by the enemy, but by
the same government for which they
gave their blood. This recruiting into
the army of inhabitants of South
Slavic provinces is three to four times
larger in proportion than in the Ger
man or Hungarian parts Of the mon
archy. Facts are that IA 70 Is per
cent OF the whole South Slavic popula-
tion has been taken into the army.
The losses Of South Slavic regiments
are 90 per cent of the whole force.
The Deputy Hrvoj, in the meeting of
the Croatian Diet at Agram, December
Is, 1916, said: "The losses Of the con-
tingent of the Agram territorial regi-
ments amount to 10000 killed
Facts are also that all the losses of
the South Slavic population in Austria
Hungary, including their expelled fam
lies and the terrible losses of the or
phan children eXterminated by sick
nesses. will be over one million persons.
The aggregate losses OF all the South
Slavs. in killed. wounded, executed and
those who died from all kinds Of cpl
denies amount 20 about 1000 900, which
is almost one-sixth OF our whole race.

Outrages Fall
On Intellectuals

Numerous prominent men were ar
rested and held as hostages, who were
TO be responsible with their own lives
for acts committed by other unknown
persons, as, for instance, for mutinles
in the army or in the civilian popula-
ton. for damages done by others TO
railroads or telegraph lines, etc, even
for acts which may be committed by
Serbian volunteers, an integral part OF
the army of the enemy.
These atrocities were principally di-
rected against the most intelligent part
of the population and young students.
Even before the war was declared sew
eral thousands of intelligent persons
we're arrested and detained members
of the parliament and provincial diets,
lawyers, professors of schools, teach
ers, clergymen, newspaper men, au-
thors, artists, students). In Bosnia
alone high school students were tried
and convicted on four different occa-
sions-that is, in March, 1915, twenty
eight students were tried IN Banya-
luka; in July, 1915, sixty-five students
were tried in frank and ten students
in Mostar, and in October, 1915, thirty
eight students were tried In Tuzla. OF
these last mentioned, one was sem
fenced to be hanged and the others,
many of them only fifteen years of age,
were sentenced to a total of 156 years
of Imprisonment! In some cases those
found guilty were sentenced to terms
of imprisonment actually equal to
their ages at the time.
The lengths to which persecution
can 90 are shown by the fate Of ten
children between the ages Of four and

BILL HAS SNACS.
Senate and House Hung Up on
Revenue Measure.
May Reduce Total War Tax
About $300,OOO,O0O.

Washington, May 30-Congress was
not in session today both houses hav-
ing adjourned over the holiday, but
leaders took the opportunity to sur
vey progress on war measures.
Chairman Simmons of the senate
finance committee in conference with
treasury officials, pointed out that the
principal questions of the war re-
venue bill yet to be determined relate
to the administrator proposed auto
mobile license taxes. excise levies on
coffee and tea, higher second class
postal rates and taxes on public util-
tiles. Secretary McAdoo is urging the
committee to report out a bill carry
ing about $500, 100000 as provided
in the house measure, but committee
sentiment apparently is in favor of
reducing it to around $500, 100000,
the difference to be raised by short
term bonds.
Pass Food Bill Soon.
Conferees of the senate and house
on the S3,342 100000 war budget bill
today still had further changes to
consider, notably the provision to
regulate the acquisition of an Ameri-
can merchant marine for which $780,
100000 is authorized.
The administrators food survey
and production bill will be taken up
IN the senate again tomorrow ana It's
early passage is looked for. The bill
is the house substitute for the measure
the senate has been considering.
No Adjournment in Sight.
Congress is in for a long time siege.
This was the conclusion reached by
members of both houses and all par
ties as they took a rest today, review
ed the sum total of the war work done
up to the present and looked forward
to that just ahead.
July 1 5 is the earliest date ventured
as possible adjournment point. This
was suggested by some Democratic
leaders who believed the war pro-
gram would be finished by that time.
However, other of the sages believed
it will be the middle of August and
few say that it is possible congress
may sit right thru into the regular
session.
AS usual the house is moving along
some steps ahead of the senate and
will probably gain in its lead as to be
ready for adjournment days before
the upper branch.
