Returning Serbs Tell
Stories Of Suffering

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.--An officisi
dispatch today to the Serbian legation
from Saloniki said Serbian prisoners
were returning home from Bulgaria in
a deplorable condition after three years
of suffering and that many had died ell
route. . ...r
The number Of prisoners had not been
determined, it was stated, because Of
the great haste of the Bulgarian govern
ment to get them home as rapidly as
possible so that Serbian military and
government officials would not see the
camps in which they had been living.
But unfortunately for the Bulgarian
government" the dispatch added, "other
elements belonging to the allies lived
alongside the Serbian prisoners and
were eyewitnesses of the atrocities to
which they were subjected. These al
lied prisoners narrated stories that made
one shudder."
In addition to prisoners of war, 200.-
900 civilians deported by the Bulgarian
authorities are struggling home

Dash and Valor Of

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Americar
operations north of the Argonne are re-
ceiving the praise OF the French and
British for their dash and valor. French
cables today declared.
The work of the Americans, it was
pointed out, Is rapidly forcing a crisis
for the German troops remaining in
northern France and west of the Mouse
in Belgium.
Paris and London military critics are
of the opinion, according to the cables
that the pressure now being exerted
against the Germans by the Franco
British to the east of Valenciennes and
by the Franco Americans north of the
Argonne will make it difficult for the
Germans to put up resistance on the
line of AVeanes- HirSon-Mezieres.

A considerable percentage of the large
number of hogs raised in Georgia are
now produced chiefly on forage crops.
This is particularly true of that great
section of the state which lies south
of the Fall Line, where the lands are
sander than those of north Georgia.
On this account grazing may be prac-
ticed at almost any season of the year
without danger of pudding the soil.
Grazing and forage crops suitable for
the maintenance of hogs for the great

grown successfully in all parts of Geor-
gla, but in the northern section the

Advises American

Cites Dangers Due to Silver

American firms dealing with patrons

other silver standard countries. and
having occasion to refund remittances
or balances of any sort need to give
special heed to the matter of the ex-
change value of silver. George Z. An
derson, American consul general at
Hong Kong, in recent report says:
The transfer of silver funds to gold or
gold to silver is almost always attended
with more discount or loss than the
ordinary conversion of gold exchange
at one point to gold exchange at an
constant rise and fall Of the price of
silver causes an added danger which
even the most careful cannot avoid.
FOR example, about two months ago
Hong Kong lady, who was unable to
procure II particular style of shoe from
the Hong Kong agent of the American
maker, sent direct to the manufacturer
TOR the shoes, forwarding draft for
American gold to cover the cost. In
stead of supplying the shoes. the
American maker returned the draft to
the sender through the Hong Kong
agent, asking the latter to furnish the
lady with shoes Of the style nearest
the ones she had ordered.

policy shown in not seeing to it that
the patron had exactly what she wanted

posed a material loss on the patron
who had bought the draft at about CT
gold cents to the Hongkong dollar and
was compelled to sell it to the bank
here at nearly 72. loss of about 7
per cent Examples of this sort are
common enough to demonstrate that
few American exporting firms have
given attention to this phase of inter
national dealings.
"Of course, the principle works both
ways, and remittances from the United
States to China in silver exchange can
seldom be returned or reconverted to
gold without loss. It may be we'll to
add that remittances for local pur-
chases in China, except where prices
are especially made in sterling or
American gold, should be made in sill
yer exchange in dollars or taels of the
district where the purchases are made.
Exchange ir Hongkong dollars. for ex-
ample, cannot be used for the pay
ment Of an account in Shanghai or

ference in the amount of silver in and
the gold value of the silver dollar in
each place"

slight increase in orders shown at the

the railroad congestion in the East.

steel plants are now running at be-
