SERB|ANSOLD|ERS
SHOW GREAT ZEAL
Live on Food They Pick Up
for Eight Days While
Chasing Enemy.
oUTDIsTANcE SUPPLIES

ROME, November s.-Col. Ernest r.
Bicknell. director general OF the
civilian relief department of the
American Red Cross, has just returned
from visit to Greece. Macedonia and
Serbia. where he went to determine
what is. to be done by the Red Cross,
to alleviate conditions among the
people in the Balkans. Speaking on
latest events and the situation In
those countries, he says:
Suffering in Macedonia.
'The region which suffered most is
Macedonia, where there Is need Of
prompt and efficient relief work.
Since the Bulgarians entered that
country conditions have become very
serious. The Serbian advance to re-
digious feat. 1 followed it part Of
the way, accompanying one French
and one Italian division officers
could not hold in check the Serbian
soldiers, who dashed ahead, climbing
mountains like wild goats.
For eight days the Serbians were
entirely cut off from their base of
supply. 1t is mysterious how they
fed themselves in that region. which
was entirely deprived of all food.
!
they lived all that time on grass,
roots, turnips and similar food. I
have seen officers fill their pockets
with bread, which they crumbled up.
Occasionally they would eat a few
handfuls, thus keeping themselves
alive for days.
Merely Disarm Prisoners.
"At Babuna Pass, the only road
north from Monastir, a very inter-
esting situation developed. At that
place were gathered Serbians. French,
Italians and Greeks, with their Bull
any sign of animoSity. Indeed, no.
body had time to deal with the $4,000
PRISONS taken. These men were mere
ly deprived of their arms and then
allowed their liberty behind the al
lied lines. They started off toward
the south without anybody paying
attention to them.
TT often happened that lorry was
turned over 10 the soldiers and then
men of all these different nationali-
ties, including the Bulgarian prison
ers, worked together in a perfectly
good-natured and friendly manner in
the activity of rescuing the wounded
along the roads leading southwark.
taking as little concern about their
safety as they would If they had been
among their own people.
bulgarian forces in their retreat
destroyed bridges and carried off cat
tie, but respected buildings and pri-
vate property generally. The only
great destruction carried out was the
burning of the aerial railway forty
miles long from Prilep to Veles over
Babuna Pass. This road was built by
Bulgarians.

Serbians Not Starved.

I'm Serbia the common people did
not seem starved. There was a Short
age of food, but all had bread. Ser
bian refugees in Greece are returning
home rapidly.
Greece has two sets of refugees,
those driven from Macedonia and
those, more numerous, amounting to
800, 900, from Asia Minor. These can
not return home because Asiatic ports
are not yet open and also the difficulty
attendant on such a trip.
THE American Red Cross is develop
ing its activities in Serbia. 1t has al
ready moved it's headquarters from
Saloniki to Uskub. Later they will be
transferred to Nish or Belgrade. In
Greece, Albania and Montenegro we
must see how the situation develops
and what is needed there. The great
est difficulty is the shipping OF sup
plies. The railroad facilities in the
Balkans are very limited. the roads
having been damaged during the
fighting and congested by military
operation. Fortunately the American
Red Cross has supplies at Saloniki and
has a large quantity of clothes and
food on the way there"

CANDIDATES WHO WILL RUN
IN PRIMARY OF JUNE 4TH

Little interest has been taken in
county politics up to this time, but
next week and the days ensuing be-
fore the primary in June promises
some lively campaigning on account
of the opposition to several of the
present office holders who are stand
ing for reelection.
Wednesday was the last day to en-
ter the race and when the sun went
down two surprises were sprung.
M. Joel McMullen, Of Largo, an
nounced for the legislature against
Sam Harris, of st. Petersburg. This
promises to be a warmly fought
battle. Both are prominently con-
nected, good campaigners, and have
a host of friends.
Another interesting race will be
that between Ralph Blatchley, of Dun
edin and w. A. Allen of Largo, for
school board member from the second
district, there being strong senti-
ment in favor of making change.
The full list of candidate for Of
fees in the June primary is:
For commissioner, district No. l.

CHAMPION KNITTER
OF THE NORTHWEST

The champion of the Northwest has
been found in Mrs. Anna HELEN, of
No. 1910 18th avenue, Seattle, who,
while closely watched and timed at
division headquarters one day recent
ly, knit one sock in two hours and
eighteen and one-half minutes and
the other in two hours and nineteen
minutes. The half-minute was used
in walking across the floor to cool her
hands in water. A half hour was tax
en- off for lunch between the end of the
first sock and the beginning of the
second.
Women who watched Mrs. HELEN
could not tell which style knitting she
was doing, so fast did her fingers go.
She says that she knits holding the
yarn in the left hand and picking" it.
The socks we're regulation No. II,
knit on No. 3 needles.
