Allied Force Needed

viscount James Bryce. former am
bassador to tho United states, ut is
extremely desirable that every effort

This view is expressed in COM

failed to provide for the immediate
occupation by the allies OF the six ar

In this war, It Is tale of deliberate
systematic effort by the Bulgarians
extending over three months TO ex-
terminate the national spirit Of Serbia
by killing every one in the parts OF
the country they occupied whom they
thought capable of maintaining II.
To my mind the facts which | ain
about to relate are crimes, which will
earn for Bulgaria the odium Of civili-
zation. During these massacres the
Germans, by contrast with the Bull
CARS. appeared to the inhabitants Of
Serbia as protectors and agents OF
mercy.
The small corner Of Serbia in which
have gathered during the last three
days from many different sources In
formation and evidence which cstab-
iished 'Bulgaria's guilt beyond ari
doubling is the region which lies
and Lesjovtz. Here, directly they had
established themselves on Serbian soil,
the Bulgars began to change the Ser
bians by force into Bulgarians.
After forbidding the use of the Ser
bian language, closing Serbian schools,
compelling everyone to change the end
ing of his name from the Serbian
itch" to the Bulgarian off, and af-
ter installing Bulgarian Mayors, Bish-
ops, Tax Collectors and military po
lice, they arrested in every town and
village all men who belonged to what
may be called the intellectual class
They chose parliamentary deputies and
judges, teachers, lawyers, priests amt
employers of labor, forming them into
gangs, and marched them away. From
that time until the defeated Bulgarians
evacuated Serbia the other day the
friends Of these people had heard moth
ing of their fate. but now the CHASTITY
story is known in detail.

Letter From Frank Encels.


Frank Engels, who is with the Amer
lean Army in France, writes to his
father. E. j. Engels, as follows:
Il have been out seeing the country
little and so will try and tell you
something about it.
1.-The houses are nearly all built of
brick Or stone, although some are built
of wood and filled in mud. A good
many are two story. but most are one
story. They have tile, slate, and straw
roofs. Most of them look as though
they have been built quite while and
they will last hundred years longer.
"The farms are pretty small and
have no fences. Instead of fences they
they use hedges. The farmers are some
workers. They work from early morn
ing until late at night. I think the
crops are farther ahead here than they
are over there. | also think they raise
more to an acre here than we do.
"They have some system Of getting
their wood. There are no groves here
like there are over there, so instead of
cutting down the whole tree they cut
off the limbs. They also get lots of
wood by trimming the hedges, All
these branches, no matter how small,
are tied into bundles and left to dry.
Then they store them in their stables
for winter use.
1.-The people here treat us fine. Of
course it is hard to talk to them. If we
do ANYTHING for them they are very
thankful for it. Address my mail,
Sgt. Frank Engels, Med. Dept, seth
