Lieutenant Yovanovitch's narrative
Of the country's sufferings and despoil-
ment at the hands Of the TeutOnic
hordes is dramatic and pitiful, a 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
Yovanovltch was selected to command
the body guard, which was Of his own
choosing-veterans with whom he had
been associated In the Balkan cam

Spent Yeast From BreWeries
Made Into Useful Articles

The spent yeast which collects in
breweries and distilleries is put
through process which turns it out
in the form of buttons, doorbell plates
and knife handles, according to the
Popular Science Monthly. Formerly
this leftover material was consid-
cred to be bothersome waste; now
it is utilized, every bit Of it. AS 1t
is gathered from the watts the yeast
is of dirty, gray-brown color. The
first operation Is to dye 1t, and then
to work 1t over until it assumes the
form Of powder and can be hot
pressed into any form. In this stage
it is called "ernolith." 1t may be
sawed, scraped, fled, drilled. en-.

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 un-
der various pretexts. Indignation
among the people is widespread, and
even officials responsible to the kai-
sers government are forced by public
opinion to give voice to emphatic pro-
tests. .-
Alsace is a great industrial center
and one of it's 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
Frenchmen, the mills, it was alleged,
were partly enemy alien property. SO
the state took charge Of the mills and
prepared to iquidate them. This liQui-
dation was carried out recently.
Alsatian business men and capital
lists had formed corporation to buy
the mills in an effort to keep them in
Alsatian hands. Even city administra-
tions, 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. It was announced
the Bleichroeder bid was preferred be-
cause it 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 a million marks more than the
Alsatian corporation. Besides, the Al
satians had refused to subscribe to the
conditions, including state supervision

Draft Riots Of 1863.

The so-called draft riots" occurred
in New York city during the Civil war.
In July, 1868, pursuant to orders by
the national government, general

some were grizzled old farmers. 9th
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
had cats. But the pathos OF 1t oil
was not on the surface. Some OF them
quietly told that they were refugees
for the second and third time ana
laughed and joked when they woke up.
There was no bitterness. no COM

Bread Pile Fell Away.
The huge pile Of bread fell away
the fig boxes were emptied, the tlns

before them.
A train load of wounded from the
front joggled in ten minutes later. Inc
men nurses carried water through the
carriages swiftly and silently. Then
the Americans handed out the rem
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 VS.
itors knew that another air raid was
on. They waited until the barrage
stopped, then they headed back
through the defenses Of the capltai.
There was faint light as they rode
back through the forest. They could

somewhere of in the silent country

Potatoes GO Well With Meat.

Meat and potatoes are good food
combination, and may be better diet
than bread and meat, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture. At this time when plentiful
supply of potatoes makes them cheap,
and when wheat and flour should be
saved, we should use potatoes instead
of wheat. Potatoes at a dollar a
bushel are as cheap as bread at ten
cents for pound loaf, even when the
cost of cooking Is added.
