 HEAVY INDEMNITY

Nish, Serbia, Feb. 13-(Correspon- dence of the ~Press)-Bul- garia, during its occupation of Serbia, found the country not only an abun- dant source of food and material but also of considerable revenue. Bulga- rian of rs exacted large sums of money from the civilian population for what they considered special privileges. For immunity from de- portation, for example, some Serbians were forced to pay the Bulgars as high as 25,000 francs. Other Ser bian civilians paid large sums that their daughters might not be molest- ed, say the Serbians.
 Seven thousand francs was the price paid by Make T. Pasitcl, wheat merchant, in the town of Bel Palan- ka, near here, to prevent the seizure by Bulgarian soldiers of his daughter, twenty years old. Pastcrs son, sev- enteen years old, had been deported by Bulgars and died of starvation in an internment camp.
 
 same town, paid six hundred francs for the release of his daughter who had been taken from her home by Bulgars and held at Nish five days. This young woman's husband, who was a priest, was killed by Bulgarians a short time before, it is charged. From five hundred to twenty thous- and francs was the tax put upon Ser bians who desired freedom to move about, and from this source the Bull gars reaped rich harvest. In almost every one of the dozen towns visited by The Associated Press correspondent the same story was told. In the town of Pirot. Ivan slarketicl, a rug dealer, gave twenty | thousand francs to the Bulgars for permission to carry on his business but persons not able to purchase inn munity from persecution were pun- ished.
 In many places the Serbian people were forbidden to speak the Serbian | language or sing Serbian songs. In | Pirot, part of the old Serbian perfec- ture building was used as a prison for civilians who revolted at the Bu,- 1 sars treatment. In room visited 1 by the correspondent, the floor was spattered with blood. Local inhab- itants testified that Bulgars had slaughtered many Serbian civilians 1 there.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.---J. c. Loomis, of the Chicago Athletic Association, just reelased from the army, began work today in preparation for the twelfth annual indoor games of the Millrose Athletic Association to be held in New York February 25.

HOW AfEEHAN WON

Jack Dempsey has an explana- tion of his failure to stop Willie Meehan, the Frisco ring come dian who obtained a decision over him at the end of four rounds 8 few months ago. "Meehan can't fight. He just mauls and ulaps and acts foolish in the ring" de- ciared Dempsey. Tt was bene- fit bout. and although I knocked him down twice, the referee re- fused to count either time. It was a shame to give the decision to him. He's a joke fighter. and every one who saw the bout knows it."
