SOLDIER SAVES KING
Serbian Lieutenant Tells Stirring
Story of War.
Out of Whole Army He Was Selected
to Command Bodyguard of
Monarch.

Bangor, Me.-Among soldiers recent
ly from European battlefields who
passed through here was the officer
who was selected to command the
Serbia to "A place Of safety when the
Austrian bombardment made 1t neces-
sary for the monarch to quit the royal
palace in Belgrade. This officer is
Lieut.. Pavle Yovanovitch. a man Of
stately figure and court1y manner, who
wears upon his tunic the insignia of
the Order Of the White Eagle, which
Is equivalent to the British Distin-
guished Service Order, and Order Of
tie White Star, which corresponds to

the Victoria Cross, besides several
gold bars bestowed for service in the
Balkan wars.
Lieutenant YovanOvitch's narrative
of the country's sufferings and despoil-
ment at the hands of the Teutonic
hordes is dramatic and pitiful, vivid
word picture, in very good English, of
the gallant fight of the Serbs against
overwhelming force. When it became
evident that Belgrade must fall prep
arations were made for safe conduct
of King Peter out of the city. and out
of the whole Serbian army Lieutenant
Yovanovitch was selected to command
the body guard. which was of his own
choosing-veterans with whom he had
been associated In the Balkan cam
paigns.
Austrian shells were crashing and
laundering in the outskirts of beauti-
full Belgrade as the guard OF honor
drew up at the palace gates, and al
ready the enemy was posting machine
guns on roofs within range of the pal
ace. AS the king was escorted from
the palace to his carriage hail of
bullets swept the plaza, and several
of the guards were wounded, including

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF WHEAT

In the Grain.

As absence makes the heart grow

unique qualities as food. We have been
eating wheat products all these years
as q matter Of course, and 1t never oc1
CURED to us that We might ever be
called on to go without them. Now
that 1t Is necessary to use wheat sub
stitutes, we have discovered that use-
full az they are there Is nothing that
really takes the place Of wheat flour.
The magic Of tho wheat lies in it,
gluten-what the baker refers to as
the binder" He must have q certain
proportion of wheat -four to furnish
the binder, or his oatmeal bread or his
rice pastry crumbles. The substitutes
have the same nourish,ae nt as the
wheat. But they lack the quality Of
the wheat flour crust. There Is moth

GRAB
ALSACE PLANTS

ernment's decision was made known
by Mayor Zopfel. He said not only
had the offer of the Alsatian corpora
ton, Of which the city of Muhlhausen
itself was a component part, been re-
jected by the government but he also
had been informed on good authority
all the other Alsatian factories to be
liquidated would be sold to "old-Ger-
man" concerns beyond the Rhine.
RuthIessness Condemned.
This attempt to Germanize Alsace
by ruthless Industrial methods was
condemned by several members of the
city council. Councillor Emmel de-
nounced as subterfuge the statement
Of Undersecretary Won Stein, who had
said the Bleichroeder offer had been
accepted because it was the more
favorable one. The speaker saw in
the governments action A systematic
effort to take Alsatian property away
from Alsatians.
The BleichrOeder group the success
full bidder, is headed by the banking
house of Bleichroeder in Berlin, The
original Beichroeder was Prince Bis
marck's financial man and his heirs
are still in control of the banking
house. Old Bleichroeder was not very
scrupulous in his financial methods,
but this did not prevent Bismarck
from comforting the title of nobility
upon his moneymaker. This was one
Of the greatest jokes perpetrated by
Bismarck.
However, Baron Bleichroeder's heirs
are still barons and their influence in
the highest circles is still formidable.
1t seems they had little trouble in OBJ
tanning the Alsatian properties at fav-
orable terms-favorable TO themselves,
for to them state supervision means
supervision by friends.

some were grizzled old farmers. Otn-
ers were city folk, obviously not used
to third class travel There were fam
allies of three generations huddled to-
gether on their way-somewhere.
Some clutched precious umbrellas,
some carried bird cages, some alarm
clocks. Some of them had dogs. some

quietly told that they were refugees
for the second and third time and
laughed and joked when they woke up
There was no bitterness, no COM
plant, no despair.
Bread Pile Fell Away.
The huge pile of bread fell away,
the fig boxes were emptied, the tbs
were all handed into the trains. The
engine shrieked a shrill French whis-
tie and the train pulled away. The
rescuers were in the silence of the
night. One of many thousands of ref
ugees had had one dreary midnight
meal far from home-one lonely meal
out of hundreds, perhaps thousands,
before them.
A train load of wounded from the
front joggled in ten minutes later. The
men nurses carried water through the
carriages swiftly and silently. Then
the Americans handed out the refn-
nants Of their stores Of figs and the
train slipped away again. Behind them
could be heard the dull booming of the
barrage guns about Paris, and the WIS.,
itors knew that another air raid was
on. They waited until the barrage
stopped, then they headed back
through the defenses Of the capital.
There was a faint light as they rode
back through the forest. They could
see clumps Of yellow daffodils utterly
oblivious of war.

Systematic Stripping of Industry
Before the Day of Reck-
oning.
INDIGNATION IS WIDESPREAD
Even Officials Responsible to kaiser's
Government Forced by Public to
Give Voice to Emphatic
Protests.

msterdam.-German carpetbaggers
are Overrunning Alsace to grab all
property confiscated by the state I'M
der various pretexts. indignation
among the people is widespread, and
even officials responsible to the kali
ser's government are forced by public
opinion to give voice to emphatic pro-
tests.
Alsace is a great industrial center
and one of its principal industries
is the manufacture of textiles. Most
of the textile factories in Alsace were
taken over by the state as war meas
ure. AS some of the stockholders were
were partly enemy alien property. So
the state took charge of the mills and
prepared to liquidate them. This liqui-
dation was carried out recently.
Alsatian business men and capital
lists had formed a corporation to buy
Alsatian hands. Even city administra-
lions, such as the municipality of
Muhlhausen, where a number of fac
tories are situated, bought stock In
this corporation. The name of the
corporation is the United Alsatian Tex
tile Factories.
Forbidden by Berlin.
But it was decided in Berlin that the
Alsatians should not be allowed to buy
what was practically their own. An
other concern, called the Bleichroeder
group, was more successful. Their
bid for the property was accepted by
the government, while the Alsatian Of
fer was rejected. 1t was announced
the Bleichroeder bid was preferred be-
cause 1t accepted state supervision as
one of the conditions of the sale. Baron
Won Stein, undersecretary of state, in
defending the governments action be-
fore the main committee of the reichs-
tag, said the Bleichroeder group had
offered million marks more than the
Alsatian corporation. Besides, the Al
satians had refused to subscribe to the
conditions. including state supervision
