Frightful Tale of Bulgarian Fe-
rocity Comes to Light
From Serbia.
MANY TORTURED and KILLED
Citizens Of Leskovatz Are Bound Hand
and Foot and Cast to Their Death
Valuable Machinery is
Damaged.

Leskovatz, Serbia. - In Leskovatz
there is church.
Under the church a well.
In the well the bodies of fifty citi-
zens Of Leskovntz were found
drowned.
Their arms and legs had been tied
and they had been thrown into the
water by the Bulgarians when they
swept over Serbia, citizen Of the
town of Leskovatz told me.
He also said that a good many of
the leading citizens of Leskovatz,
priests, school teachers and such, had
been depOrted-as those left behind
understood-into Bulgaria, But that
just lately they had been finding in
the foothills of the mountains over
which the road went, graves in which
thirty, forty and fifty of these citizens
had been buried after having been ior-
tured and killed.
Large Factory There.
In LeskOvatZ before the war stood
one Of the few large factories in Ser
bia.
1t had been making wooden cloth for
army uniforms and also linen cloth.
Tie buildings had been filled with
expensive machinery imported from
Austria and Germany.
When the Bulgarans came they put
up the machinery at auction to enter
prising citizens of Bulgaria, and many
80
chalk-marked with the names OF the
successful bidders.
They had not been able to transport
all the machines before the Serbians
came back, though a great many had
been moved, but all those which could
not be removed had been cleverly dam
aged, almost beyond possibility of re-
pair.
All Machinery Damaged.
All the engines, all the various ma.
chimes for the manifold operations re-
1uired In the manufacture of cloths
had been damaged ut some vital spot
All the leather belts and even the
leather attached to rollers had been
cut away. The boilers had been made
useless.
1t is an open question whether the
machines can be repaired, and If re
pair were possible. as to whether II
would not cost more than to take a
fresh start.
The owner, one of the few capital
lists of Serbia, seemed to take an al
most melancholy satisfaction in hav-
ing us see how his life work had been
destroyed. He seemed too old, too
broken and too discouraged to take
q fresh start.

even the terrors of war have shaken
this truth of the unity Of Israel. Civ.
ing undivided allegiance to the various
countries Of which we form a past, we
have come to the relief Of our smitten
brethren in the lands of our foes as
well as Of our allies. The wholeheart-
ed response Of English and American
Jewry meant life to the Jews of Pal
estine, Galcia and Russia during the
days of war; and now that peace has
come, it will continue to encourage
them in their work of rebuilding their
ruined spiritual centers and of restor-
ing their broken down standards of
living. The sense Of Jewish solidarity
will also strengthen the faith of all of
US in ourselves and In our historic
purpose as Jews. United we must up
hold with new vigor the banner of
truth before all, to call upon them to
purge their hearts Of hatred and re-
solve in all earnestness to live in
good will and in peace.
We must stand united before God
and before the world. While sponsor
ing Reform Judaism, we do not feel
ourselves alienated from Orthodox
Jewry. We, of course, reserve the
right to interpret our religion in the
light Of present-day scholarship and
to worship God in manner most COM
mendable to men and women of mod
en culture. But with an ardor no less
than that of our Orthodox brethren
we continue the chain of Jewish ira
dition and treasure the eternal truths
of the Torah. As a Jewish congrega-
ton, Temple Mizpah will cultivate our
ancestral faith and will address itself
to all Jews.
II will entirely disregard the Euro
pean ghettos that have been trans
planted to American soil. 1t will not
be a congregation Of Bavarians or Of
Bohemians, Of Germans or of Rus
SLAMS, Of Hungarians or Of Poles, but
of Jews, irrespective of their places of
birth, Of Jews who are conscious of
a common past and Of common fu-
ture, who are loyal to their God and
who are ready to discharge their OBJ
legations to their people. We trust
that the spirit of friendliness will
unite our membership and that God
will watch over us both when we are
together in worship and friendly coun.
Gil and when we are apart one from
the other.
We consecrate Temple Mizpah as
witness to the reality of the spirit, as
a lighthouse Of the Torah to guide
men on their life voyage, and as a cen.
ter Of Jewish fellowship. At this hour
we pledge ourselves to carry these
ideals into practice. AS rabbi of the
congregation, | pray for an under
standing heart to discharge my duties
faithfully. And as its members, may
you be filled with devotion to the God
Of our fathers and with zeal for the
Torah. And may we labor together in
single-heartedness and in loyalty.
Let Faith and Reason, Loyalty and
Progress be our watchwords, that
through our efforts, Temple Mizpah
may become true watchpost Of the
spirit, quickening our souls in the
knowledge of God and Of His laws.

Piedmont Park, the beautiful!

acres in the north side of the

to the veterans. Hundreds of
government tents, with govern

and other government material,
will dot the spacious wards. And
best of all, the reunion committee
is placing orders for scores of
carloads of fat pine logs which
will be used to make fires, in the
flames of which old comrades
will vision again the scenes of
their glory and their battles.
Not all of the veterans will
