"The appearance of America in the theatre of war has filled up the gap caused by the Russian withdrawal, and the armed forces of our allies are more considerable than those of the enemy as regards both men and ma terial. Their organization has been improved and there is complete agree ment on all questions. The Serbian people can therefore be certain that it's sacrifice will not be in vain and that it's ideals will be realized if 1t continues to give in the future tokens of it's military and civic virtues and if it remains safe, as hitherto, from intrigues which aim at destroying it's concord and unity in the defense of the interests of our people"

REMAINS LOYAL TO THE
 ALLIED CAUSE

CORFU, May 11-Serbia remains faithful to the cause of the entente allies despite German intrigue and an offer of the German government to conclude peace, declared Premier Pashitch today in a declaration Of .Serbia's foreign policy read at the opening here of the Serbian parlia- ment
 More than a year ago, MT Pas hitch said, Germany was beginning to see the impossibility of defeating her enemies by military force alone, and to see that she must have re- course to other means. She then de- cided to make the most energetic use of clandestine channels to disorgan- ize as speedily as possible the power and cohesion of her enemy. She car ried on intrigues, employing different methods according to the countries for which she intended them.
 'All these intrigues were clothed in fine language and expressed human. itarian ideals by means of which the enemy was spreading monarchistiC ideas in republics and republican ideas in monarchies, recommending in democratic countries a military re, gime and in autocracies democratic, republican or anarchistic ideas. All this had only one object, to provoke internal disorders and discord be- tween the Allies.
 ''In all allied countries the effect of these machinations have been felt, but nowhere have they succeeded sc well as in Russia Judging from eff fleets, it is impossible to deny that the Russian Revolution has been tainted by German influence and has only been useful up to the present, to Ger many.
 "Austria-Hungary recently has in tensitied her intrigue and calumnies against the Serbian people, and against King Peter and the Serbian government. She has but one object to shake the faith of the allies in Ser bla, to destroy the national unity, and by means of our dissensions, to in sure the conquest of Serbia.
 But our people know Austria-Hun gary too well to lend themselves to believe these lying words. The Ser bian people remains faithful. It has gwen Up all that it had and could l give. At present, with the little force that remains to it. it can only stay faithfully at the side of the allies never forgetting that Austria-H Hun gary provoked this war with the oh Ject Of destroying Serbia

MAP TRACINCS USED
 FOR SURGICAL DRESSINGS

LOS ANGELES, May Hold map tracings are ending their career in that capacity here and are entering a new lease of life as surgical dress ings. Somebody discovered, a few days ago, that there was a scarcity of linen gauge, and happened to men tion the fact to Thomas w. Bulpin, chief engineer of the Los Angeles railways. MT. Bulpin and his deputies checked over the tracings in their of flee, and found more than sixty pounds of tracings on linen, which latter when washed to eliminate starch and ink yielded 648 square yards of the finest linen.
 All that is necessary, the Red Cross here said, to make this linen fit for use, is to wash and sterilize it, and no finer grade exists than that used as a foundation for such tracings.
 MT. Bu1pin wrote to every architect and civil engineer in the city, and suggested that they go over their of. fees and turn in any old tracings to be salvaged. The Red Cross believes that much valuable linen will thus be made available.
 The same plan, applied in other cities it was pointed out, would prob. ably bring to the Red Cross thousands of yards of fine gauge now worse than useless, as it merely crowds files or moulds on shelves
