tional bank, on grounds of alleged

girls,"-he paused and shook his
head sadly. "All the girls, even lit
tie girls of II years, have been sent
into the harems."
Rev. Father Stiyachich studied for
the priesthood in a monastery close
to the Montenegro line. That
monastery and another one nearby
have both been Irazed to the ground
by the German armies. In 1873, when
the country in which Rev. Mr.. Sti-
yachich lived was occupied by Aus
tria-Hungary and the Turks, the
little village where he lived was sur
rounded by seven forts, but there was
not one public school. The first pub
lie school was established in 1898.
What about the food il, your
country" he was asked.
"My people have no food. They
are starving" answered the priest
with tragic simplicity. Gall of the
crops are conhscated by the armies,
otherwise they are destroyed. At
| Niksik, one Of our small villages, an
average of twenty persons day
die for want of food. Some of the
| people commit crimes so that they
will be thrown into prison. where
they will, at least, get little some
thing to eat"
Rev. Mr.. Stiyachich can tell a
great deal about the strict censor
ship which has always been MAIN
tanned by the Bulgarians throughout
Serbia. He tells how the Serbian
method of spelling names was done
away with and that all signs had to
| be changed to the new spelling.
Everything possible was done to
make Serbia lose its identity.
Seventy-eight prominent men of
the community where Rev. Mr..
Stiyachich lived were hanged for
their loyalty to Serbia. Rev. Mr..
Stiyachich's father was one of them.
One of his brothers was carried
away as a German prisoner. He has
received no word from any of his
relatives in Serbia for more than
two years.
Rev. Mr.. Stiyachich was given a
cross by the Serbian government for
his active service for the Serbian
Red Cross. During 1918 and 1914 he
sent more than $4,000 to Serbia for
that fund.
"Are you still working for the Ser
bian Red Cross?" he was asked.
mo" answered the. man of sor-
row, quantity, 81 now help the Ameri-
can Red Cross, for the American Red

When America entered the world
war, Rev. Mr.. Stiyachich aroused
local Serbs and they were among the
first to send soldiers to fight for their
| invaded country.

Even as You and |, George
M. COhan is SUSPECTED

On his way by motor car to the
middle west to attend performances
of Leo Ditrichstein in "The Judge of
Zalamea," George. M. Cohan tarried
by the way side long enough to have
some fun with natives and also to be
mistaken by them as an impostor.
He was accompanied on the expedi-
tion by Steve Reardon, whose four
days growth of beard may have led
in part to the misappie iehension. 1t
was at the Hotel Oliver in South
Bend that the proprietor regarded
Cphan with suspicion when he reg
istered his own name. Not being
able to believe that he was entertain
ing celebrity of Cohan's fame, he
telephoned the local theater manager,
who confirmed the landlords sus-
picions when the latter described Co.
han as having gray hair. The land
lord Immediately y set detectives to
watching Cohan, and gave instruc-
tons not to cash any of his checks.
The blunder was rectihed when the
local manager came face to face with
Cohan and recognized him.
In newspaper interviews 70 Wnich
Cohan submitted in the middle west
he permitted his imagination full
range. One.paper makes this state
ment:
"Cohan said that he and Reardon,
his companion, were working on a
stock corporation scheme for manu-
featuring dolls eyes, which used to
come from Germany. Also, he said,
he had a scheme to furnish rubber sea
1ions, operated by electricity, for
scenic spots on the Pacific coast,
where tourists are sometimes disap-
pointed with the natural supply. He
said that he and Reardon were on
their way to Honolulu, where they
expected to perfect a method Of
crossing lightning bugs and bees, so
that the bees might work nights. -

HIM FOR MONEY
Veteran Railroad Conductor
Alleges Spouse Admits She
Wanted Some One to Pay
Her Bills.

Arthur Blakeley, widely known
railroad man, conductor on the Union
Pacific for more than a third of a
century, is preparing to fight his
wife's divorce in district court.

last thirty-seven years, is 6S years
old. His wife is comparatively a
young woman.
Married This Year.
They were married in Omaha May

acquainted with her in 1915. Accord
ing to the railroad man, his wife-to-be
always said she wanted home and
was willing to take up the response
bilities of a household.
Blakeley alleges that on the second
night after their marriage she treated
him in a cold, insolent and naughty
manner and left him, giving him to
understand that all he had to do was
nay her bills and obligations" many
of which, he says, were incurred be-
fore she took his name.
Married for His Money.
On several other occasions, Blake
ley alleges, she admitted she married
him for his money and his property.
Before their marriage, Blakeley
says, it was customary for her to meet
him at the sUnion station when he
came in off his passenger run. He
says afterwards she refused to do
this.
Blakeley asks an absolute divorce
and says he will fight his wife's suit
to the finish. She alleged cruelty in
her petition.

Bombay, Sept. 17.-According to a
private telegram, Mrs. Annie Besant,
head of the Theosophical society and
George Arundale and B. Wawea, two
of her associates. have been released
from internment by the Madras gov
