sERBIA's PROTECTING. SAINT
Conquered and scattered are t

Conquered and scattered are the
 Serbians Belgrade, their proud cap
 ital, is a city of ruins, and all the
 other cities are in the hands of Ser
 bias enemies Hated Bulgars and ac- cursed Austrians now lord it over the villages and Romesteads of agricul- tural Serbia. Many of their quaint little communities, where the stare shinas formerly held benevolently despotic sway, are now deserted. Others contain only women, young boys and very old men, Unmarked graves now hold uncounted numbers of Serbian men, while the survivors are fighting brave1y on the southern borderland, striving with might and main to reconquer their lost land and rejoin their wives and children Yet the SerbiAns are profoundly confident that the invaders will soon be driven out, and the flag of their kingdom go back over the capital of an enlarg- ed and united Serbia
 The Serbians have faith in their allies, faith in themselves, but most of all faith in St. Sava, their patron and protector, whose festival they celebrate today. St. Sava's day is the real national feast of the Serbians, and it is widely celebrated by Serbians and their descendants on this side of the Atlantic, as we'll as in the stricken mother country. Sava was a royal prince of the thirteenth century, who devoted his life to the education, en- lightenment and general betterment of the people of the Balkans. He travelled about the country from vil- tn vii nc nd churches, and it is in these rural communities that he is held in great est adoration, and his festival most celebrated.
 Rural Serbia is still much as 1t was in St. Sava's time, in the habits and mode of life of it's people. Most of the villages and homesteads com prise a group of families, united by ties of blood, and usually acknowledg- ing the leadership of the stareshina or patriarch of the community, who regulates the labofs and distributes the rewards of toll among the vari- ous families The buildings of these villages are usually surrounded by an immense pa1isade.l The chief struc- ture is in the center, and contains, the common kitchen, dining room and assembly hall of the community. In the latter all the members of the com munity gathering the evening to work and play, and to listen to recitations of the poetical rhapsodieS in which Serbian literature is rich, and many of which sing the praises of St. Sava. This is simple and patriarchal com munal life has been sadly disturbed by the war, and 1t is not with songs and rejoicing but with prayers for.

workers" He asserts that the labor ing classes of Germany s'have no heart in the war" but that they must bear the brunt of it's effort, for they compose the greater part of her great military machine.
 1T know that the workers of Ger many did not want the war" says Mr. Gompers. "and I know, a1rnougr every effort was made to suppress the news, that great protest meetings, which really voiced the sentiments of the German workers, were held in Berlin and elsewhere. But the Ger man government was a government especially organized for the purpose nl making war. and the workers were not organized for the purpose of keep ing peace"

Apache County NelUs (St. Johns Herald)

Attorney J. E. Crosby was up from Holbrook on Tuesday on legal business before the superior court here.
 The Merchants 6 Stock Growers Bank of Holbrook, was appointed special administrator of the Ma sif Tanner estate by Judge Crosby sitting in chambers Tuesday. The bail was set at $40, 900 which was quickly given. Rurnor has it that there are quite a number of claimants to the estate, and some litigation in settling it up Is being predicted.
 The superior court of this county was recently reversed in the case of the State vs D. B. Baca who was convicted last De- cember of attempting to import an automobile load of whiskey into Arizona. MT. Baca was in- tercepted in New Mexico before he got across the line by Sheriff Hamblin and Deputy Trammell. The reversal was because of 8 defective indictment and because the evidence dld not show that any part of the offense was com- mitteed in Apache county. The cause was not permanently dis missed, but was remanded fol further proceedings in the loca courts.
