 But one day an Austrian officer, a little shrewder than the rest, noticed
 that there were ducks on the rivet
 near the western outskirts of Mitrovic,
 There was shallow place in the Wa

 been in the habit of going in search
 for food.
 It would have been simple matter
 to order the ducks off the river. Bu.
 the Austrians had lost so much time
 by now that few days did not mat
 ter. It seemed more important to find
 out whether the ducks served any par tieular purpose aside from their usual one.
 "They did' said the base commando CT of Mitrovic. as we discussed the case "We watched the owner of the ducks, and soon learned what he waa about The first thing we noticed was that he never let the birds go on the water at the same time of day. That was unusual. Generally ducks are left to roam as they will. They go out on the water at daybreak, if not re- strained. and return to their pen late in the afternoon.
 "But these ducks made for their feeding ground always on the hour. Sometimes that would be in tine morning then 1t might be 9. or again they might not appear until two in the afternoon. We learned that the man kept them in the yard when he didn't want to have them on the river,

Ducks Served Their Country

 George A. Schreiner. in Rarper's Mag

 Mitroyic lies on the north bank of the river Sava. in Slavonia. On the south bank of the river. which is Serbian. lies Mitrovica. Both places al . important strategical bases.
 The Sava is q broad sheet of water at this point, and up to the middle of November. 1914, neither Serb nor Austro- Hungarian had been able to gain foothold on the others bank Thcueh the Austro- -Hunxarians made many attempts to cross the river in sufficient force, they always found that the Serbs were well informed as to the strength of the forces they had to checkmate. No matter what ths Austrian commander might do. he would find that the Serbs had antici- pated him. If he made an attempt to cross the river to the west of Nitro vic, the Serbs were sure to be there en masse. Several attempts to cross tho Sava opposite Sabacs were fruS- trated in a like manner.
 It was plain that spies were at work.
 This was no startling discovery, by the way. Many of the Slavonians sym pathized with the Serbs. Jugo-Slavisrn had ripened to that extent. anyway Many arrests were made among thc inhabitants of Mitrovic and the vii lages up and down the river.
 But that did not seem to improve matters. as General Potiorek found out on several occasions. Tho river bank was carefully patrolled. No boat was ever seen to cross the Sava, and nos body seemed to fish for bottles which might have contained the information. No trace of heliogrAph. sema phores, wire. signal lantern and the like was
