BULGARS UP5ET
 TRANSFORMATION
 ON SERB ROADS

DEDEAGATCH, Bulgaria. - The extreme difficulty of transport thru Serbia, and the ruinious condition of the country's railways as a result of wanton destruction wrought by Bulgarians and Austrians in their forced retreat. is strikingly shown by the fact that the American Red Cross, in order to get relief supplies to the Nish section, has had to route its shipments by rail east from Saloniki to Dedeagatch. then north to Adrianople, then west to Sofia and finally across the Bulgarian border to Pirot, a total distance of more that eight hundred miles.
 The regular railroad route north from Saloniki to Nish is only about PTS miles and can be travelled in ordinary circumstances in twenty four hours. Red Cross supplies have taken ten days to reach their
 estimation.
 From Uskub to Belgrade, nearly three hundred miles, the railroad at points is wholly destroyed and dozens of bridges and tunnels are in ruins. It is estimated that the work of reconstruction will require more than a year.
 Two hundred and nineteen three ton motor trucks, on a recent trip to Nish arrived with only thirty tons of supplies.
 The Allied military authorities have ceased trying to reach nor. thern Serbia from Saloniki and the south, and are sending people and supplies by ship to Plume, on the Adriatic. The food and clothing situation in Northern Serbia is very acute. Ordinary peasants working dress is said to cost twelve hundred francs and cake of soap thirty francs. The American Red Cros: is sending large quantities of food clothing and medical supplies soutt through Fiume

THE CANADIAN PLAN

Preliminary measures have been taken by the Dominion Repatriation committee for carrying cut the broad plan of assisting returned soldiers and their dependents, which may involve a government expendi- ture Of s10O.000,000.
 Loans totaling more than Sl,500,- GOO have already been granted a thousand or more returned soldiers while 500 others have made en- tries on government land under the soldier settlement act, Ottawa has officially announced.
 The governments program as pre- ,,ared tbus far would allow re- turned soldier a free grant of a ouarter section, on homestead con- ditions. in addition to his ordInar! homestead right. This privilege is extended under the soldier settle rant act. The government has sus- rended entry by others than sol d;ers on all remaining homestead lands in the western provinces with in fifteen miles of railway trans portation.
 A soldier is eligible to 9 maxi mum loan of s2,50O for purchase of livestock. erection of buildings and other improvements when he goes on the land. The loan. which must be repaid in twenty annual jnstallments, is given in the form of refunds for expenditures. h. terest of five per cent is charged. An additional 5000 may be ad- vanced as the land is improved.
 The government is cooperating with the Soldier Settlement Board to acquire suitable lands now held uncultivated by private owners Government officials say that at the coming session of parliament legis- lation will be sought for obtaining great tracts of such land to be re- sold 70 soldiers at cost.
 Plans for other reconstruction work are going forward rapidly. Officials at Ottawa have informed mayors of leading cities in Mani toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta that the government is ready to give each province s1,O00.0o0 for road work provided the provinces make this appropriation the minor DOT tion of a good roads fund. The government will not pay more than forty per cent of the highway ex- penditures in any province.

SERBIAN PRIEST
 RELATES HORROR
 OF BULGAR WAR

PROT, Serbia. - Confirmatory evidence of the slaughter of Ser bian priests by Bulgarians during the war, was given to a representa- tive of the Associated Press recently by the Rev. Miliya Yontschitch, pastor of one of the churches here who personally witnessed the mas sacre of twenty of his colleagues and one Serbian officer. All, he says, were shot and many were burned alive.
 Father Yontschitch escaped simi lar fate only by feigning death after he had been shot. He ex- hlblted to the Associated Press cor respondent two bullet wounds in his left shoulder. Another priest. the Rev. Thomas Popovitch, of Pirot, escaped by fleeing across the noun tain road.
 The murder of the priests took place November 25, 1915, in the village of Kremaencia. about thirty five miles east of Nish, according tothe story of Father Yonschitch. which follows:
 Father Yontschitch in company with twenty-five other Serbian priests was taken by Bulgarians from Pirot to Nish where they were thrown into a cell and forced to live for five days without food or water After his release he and his companions, who included Tasa Gorgevitch, of the Serbian army. were marched by their captors for thirteen hours to Bella Palanka, thirty miles east of Nish, an armed guard walking behind each.
 About two hours walk from Bella Palanka. the priests came to a halt and were ordered to turn off the road into very small valley to the right. It was after midnight and half a moon gave the only illumina- tion to the lonely mountain roads and valleys. The priests had not gone far when the guards shot them in their backs
 Father Yontschitch dragged him. self in the darkness behind a large rock whence he could see the whole scene of murder being enacted bv the Bulgars.
 He saw his colleagues dragged. some dead. some half alive, to pyres which had been prepared for them. and their bodies thrown to the flames.
 Many of the men, said Father
 0HtoeHItSH' were slllI aIlVe when the Bulgars saturated their bodies with gasoline and set them afire. Flames spread about them and they Pleaded piteously for mercy but their pleas were met with sneers. liter the flames had spent them selves, said Father Yontschitch. the charred bodies of twenty-one vic- tins were thrown into two holes. Arms, legs, heads, he said, were left protruding, exposed to the rav- ages of dogs and wolves that invest fhe mountains in the neighborhood, The Bulgars left the scene be- fore daybreak. Father Yontschitch
 made his way on foot to the village of Ponor, and eventually to Pirot, h's home. From that time, twenty ooe months he concealed himself from the Bulgars under the floor of the house. He lived almost like a rat, food being lowered to him thru a hole in the floor The Associated Press correspondent visited this pace and saw the wretched con- d'tions under which Yontschitch lived. When the priest emerged from his self-imposed confinement. hts appearance had so changed that his friends failed to recognize him. He was later seized by the Bulgars and sent to prison camp at Eski DJuma near the Rumanian frontier. where for three months his only
