SERBIAN GIRLS
GIVEN TO TURKS
EIGHT THOUSAND ARE HANDED
OVER TO MOSLEM CLUTCHES
by GERMAN INVADERS.

London, Oct 4.-iCorrespondence of
the Associated Press.-The situation in
Serbia today is summed up in a com
munication received by the British
Socialist party from the executive com
mitete of the Serbian Socialists. II
says:
The Serbian population in the por-
tons Of our country occupied by Aus
tria-Hungary is now 2.eiS.000, accord
ing to official census figures published
in the Official Journal AT Belgrade. The
population normally would have been
$4,000. There is. therefore. a reduc-
ton Of $4,000. or 2s per cent. The
male population has been reduced by
80 per cent. There are now in Serbia
l44 women to 100 men.
In the districts occupied by Bulga-
ria the reduction in population is 3o0,-
900.
"Dr. Otokar Ribar. the Austrian
Reichsrath deputy. declared in the wi.
emma parliament in June 26 Serbia
will be saved. but there will no longer
be Serbs He said these words when
protesting against the greatest crime
committed in this war, The deportation
of 10000 women, children and men from
the departments of vranje, Nish and
Pirot. and their internment in Asia
Minor. Among these 10000 there We're
s.008 women and young girls delivered
over to the Turks. OF these a great
number committed suicide by throwing
themselves out Of the trains conveying
them to Asia Minor.
The deaths among war prisoners and
those interned are put at from $4,000
to $4,000. After the retreat from Ser
bia and the reconstruction of the Ser
bian army. about 20 per cent died at
Corfu. Our losses on the Saloniki front
have been about SO per cent of the
Serbian forces which have taken part
in the operations of General Serrail's
armies
Sixty thousand families in Serbia re-
quire succor this winter. They have no
means of living except the little that
we can send TO them. Their sufferings
during the approaching winter will be
very severe"

placed a nation that for years has pre-

less use Of steel, fiery gases and dyna-
mite shells to kill others whose COM
mercial prosperity iIterfered with its
own plans. Invention had been so de-
based as to contribute to making war
horrible and atrocious.
In the light Of these words Of Bal
four, one might quote from the SER
mon delivered by DR.. Fritz Phillip in
Berlin. He says: "Germany's d.
vine mission Is to cruelty humanity;
German warriors shed the blood OF
other nations as a sacred duty. II
is therefore the duty Of German sol
diers to strike blows of merctful Vio-
lence. Our hearts are full of thank.
fulness when our engines OF war In
the air strike down the sons Of Sa-
tan, and when our wonderful sub.
marine sends thousands OF the unelect

fight the wicked by all possible means,
their sufferings must please us: their
cries of anguish must fall upon deaf
German ears; no quarter for the Eng.
lish and the French and the Rus

The words make clear to rs the
way in which Germany has sought to
change the whole idea Of religion. how
she has sought to recreate the tribal
god which the world, the civilized
world, has abandoned for the space OF
two thousand years. In place Of the
God of love and of tender care, whose
concern for His earthly children win
not let the Heavenly Father slumber
nor sleep, we have q WAR deity exult'
ing in the sufferings Of the non-elect,
we have a people rejoicing at the
sufferings of others, and looking upon
barbaric practices as divine.
Truly. since this war has become q
battle between barbarism and civil.

In peace and in tranquility. 1t is the
in the second part Of this verse which

the present struggle. 1t is the failure
to recognize the boundaries of coun-

the world into this war.
Nineteen centuries ago were these
instructions given as to the way in
which the nations could live and could
prosper in this earth. An ALLOWING
God builded this world palace and
stored It with treasures for His chii-
dren. But in the family of the ma.

blackens the world palace. What

to another nation, superior to the d.

possession.
Why Not Grocery Hours?
If liquor is a food, as contended by
men who are selling it, Governor Lind
sey of New Mexico believes the sa.
loonists should be willing to keep the
same hours as grocers and other re
tailers. Governor Lindsey expresses
that view in a telegram sent to Alder.
man Clyde Tingley OF Albuquerque, In
connection with the question of early
closing OF saloons and prohibiting the
sale of liquor to enlisted men. Ting.
ley wired the governor that the Albu-
querque council pledged itself to pass
an ordinance for the regulation of sa.
looms similar to that passed by the
Santa Fe council, and intimated that
the closing hour would be 9 o'clock,
also that the sale of liquor to men in
uniform would be prohibited.

Even with only one month of prohi-
hilton, Omaha has found that the new
policy pays. Jail population and the
number of arrests show a striking de.
crease for Douglas county. In May,

oners in the county Iail, while in May,
