Northern Serbia many families,
wealthy before the war, have been
found by officers Of the American
Relief Administrator and the Amer
lean Red Cross living in stables and
chicken coups. Their homes had been
destroyed by the advancing or re-
treating armies. Their beds were
heaps Of straw covered with burlap.
1t was all that remained as furniture
in their once pretentious estates.
They were penniless and had no
clothing except what they Wore.

seed for next springs sowing were
removed by the enemy
The Red Cross hospitals are
crowded with mothers carrying en-
aciated children, old men with the
infrmities Of their years, old women
bent in misshapen, and young men
broken by war. The soup kitchens
tell the same story.

Immediately after the accident
therailroad officials telephoncd Sheriff
Wilbert H. Worthen who hastened to
the scene. The spike which had been
placed upon the track and which
caused the accident was located.
The Sheriff started an inquiry
among the boys at Halls Mills and
soon rounded up Edward Berube, 10;
Edmond Berube, 8, and Adrain Bou
toin, 7, who confessed that they had
put the spike upon therail. They
said they wanted to see the spike
hattened out by the weight of the
train. They had no intention or
thought that the train might be
wrecked.
Sheriff Worthen gave the boys a
talking to and they will appear in
the juvenile court tomorrow. Owing
to their age they will undoubtedly be
placed on probation,
The engine Of the train was placed
back on the rails after an hours de-
lay. The scene of the accident was
on a curve and it was a marvel to
railroad men that the train remained
upon the roadbed. The humping of
the engine over the sleepers caused
considerable damage to the roadbed
which was being thoroughly repaired
today.
