GERMAN RULE USED
TO SCOURGE SERBIA
Terrible Devastation Wrought

ton Officers.
Special Despatch TO TIN SUI.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1o.-The account
OF an eyewitness Of the terrible devasta-
ton wrought by The German com.
manded Buigar armies in the territory
they occupied became public tonight
through despatch from tho Serbian
Government to the Serbian press bureau
here. On every hand, the despatch,
states, are recurring signs OF German
domination of Bulgaria, and indications
that the Germans not only had the
upper hand Of the Bulgars. but treated
them as inferior at all times. All sign
posts and indications of routes are
printed In German. seldom having even
a Bulgarian translation.
The shortage of provisions was very
great 1t was stated THE inhabitants
had not had any meat for three months.
There was a complete want Of coffee,
sugar. tea. salt. clothing and linen.
I'm the fertile valley between Mon
astir and Veles there are no cattle.
All agricultural machines and imple-
ments have disappeared. Nowhere did
we find any helathy adults. The fields
nevertheless were cultivated.
Tho explanation is very simple. All
the cattle had been requisltioned and
all the healthy adults deported. During
the retreat the enemy even carried of
the young people of Is years. The work
In the fields was carried on by soldiers
under command of German officers
specially detailed for this duty.
The cattle and agricultural ma
chinery necessary for this WAS brought
to che district and taken away again
as soon as the work was finished. The
cattle were brought from Rumania. as
the Macedonian stock cattle were COM
pletely used up to feed the army. This
was pitilessly requisitioned. None Of
the warrants given In payment has been
met for three years past The harvest
was requisitioned each year to feed tho
army and the rest went to Germany"

Immediately the people began to ex-
press their hatred of Bulgaria In the
strongest terms. and the German Ian.

The feeling was exactly the same as
when Italy Joined the Entente. Crowds
gathered In the streets discussing the
news and in some instances the police

Bulgarian Legation.
Il discussed the situation with many
Germans. Some said Bulgaria had done
quite right and that the best thing Ger
many could do would be to follow her
example. Others. while cursing Bull
garia, declared the only thing for Ger
many to do was to continue lighting.
There Is no question that for the first
time Germans became seriously alarmed.
ana this was reflected in the Stock Ex-
change. where there was a violent panic.
People began to fear that Germany
might lose the war after all, and many
declared the Entente's intention was to

Before the construction of the Suez
canal, completed in 1869, there was no
direct water communication between
the Mediterranean and the Red sea,
but at various eras such communion
tion existed by way of the River Nile.
From an inscription on the temple at
Karnak it would appear that a canal,
joining the Nile and the Red sea, ex-
listed at the time of Seti l., 1880 b. @.
This canal diverged from the Nile near
Bubastis and was carried along the
fertile Wadi Tumilat to port at the
head of the expanse Of water known
todayias the Bitter lake, now forming
part Of the Suez canal route. The
channel of this canal is still traceable
in parts of the Wadi Tumilat. Other
canals connecting the Nile and the
Red sea were built in ancient times.
