MASSACRED
DURING |NSURREC7|ON
Old Men, Women and Children Cut
Down by Germans and
Bulgars.

BY the Associated Press.
UDINE, June =, via Paris.-Fragmen-
tary news has already been received
here through neutral countries of wide
spread inSurrectionary movements in
Serbia. This news is now supplemented
by the statements of Austrian prison
ers captured in the recent Italian ad-
vance, giving details of the merciless
methods of repression used to crush the
uprising.
The insurgents were gradually sur
irounded by Austrian. German and Bull
garian regiments and all who fell into
their hands. chiefly old men. women and
children. are declared to have been mas
sacred. In spite of this procedure fierce
resistance was offered for three weeks
and heavy losses inflicted on the in
vaders. especially the Bulgarians.
The insurgents finally succumbed to
superior numbers and the Serbians were
hanged by the thousands. According to
the prisoners the Bulgarians were
guilty of such atrocities, especially
against women and children, that even
their Austro German allies termed them
barbariC.

especially as to the best methods of
canning and drying vegetables, are to
be opened in two sections of the city
next week, under direction of the Wom-
ans Federated Council of Employment
and officials of the Department of Ag-
riculture
The work is regarded as one of the
first steps in active cooperation of the
club women of the country with Her
bert c. Hoover. appointed food admin
istrator. and the action was taken at
a meeting of the woman's council of
local club women. held at the District
building yesterday afternoon.
Mrs William Hftz. chairman of the
council. was appointed representative
of that body to the woman's commit
tee of the national defense council, with
instructions to assure Mr.. Hoover of

SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAYS
STILL ARE "IN THE ARR
No Official Announcement as to
Whether They Are to Be
Granted.

With cabinet officers themselves ex-
pectinS to be at their desks all sum-
mer. government clerks will be in the
anxious seat for the next two weeks,
pending a clearing of the somewhat
dubious atmosphere now clouding the
question of whether or not the Satur-
day half holiday automatically will go
into effect June Is.
Unless something happens, June Is
will see but four hours of work for
employees of the government depart
ments. in accordance with an executive
order of 1914. putting the matter in the
hands Of the secretaries of the various
federal departments.
No specific orders have been handed
down from any cabinet official on the
matter as yet. although chief clerks of
several of the departments have started
the wheels to moving toward getting
the heads of their departments to is
sue an official order.
1t is believed likely that the matter
may be taken up at cabinet meeting
between now and June 16. and the
question definitely settled It has been
rumored in the departments for sew
eral months that there was a move on
foot to suspend the Saturday half holi-
days this year.

tive operations will be started as soon

Wandering practically the entire steel
output of the country for the con-
struction Of warships and other works

The decision that the proposed Key
bridge is a military necessity means,
for one thing. that the engineers in

cure steel and other structural material
essential to the construction of the
bridge, Col. Walter Fisk. the engineer
officer in charge of this engineering
district, has arranged to begin the work

piers. The entire work is to be done

Housing Men in Tents-Camp
Sites Selected.

1t was explained at the War Depart
ment today that the decision to reduce
the number of army cantonments from
thirty-two to sixteen. and quarter the
men unprovided for in tents. had been
reached because the cantonment sys-
tenn had been found nearly twice as
expensive as expected. because of lack
of labor. material and transportation
facilities
So far only four cantonment sites
have been selected by the War Depart
ment. They are at Aver Mass: At

the twelve others will be made within
few days. Wooden barracks will be
erected at these places.

teen other camps will be sheltered un-
der canvas. Practically all of the tent
ed camps Will be located in the south
