which had been prepared for them and their bodies thrown to the flames.
 Many of the men, said Father Yont- schitch, were still alive when the Bull gars saturated their bodies with gaso- line and set them afire. Flames spread about them and they pleaded piteously for mercy but their pleas were met with sneers. After the flames had spent themselves, said Father Yontschitch, the charred bodies of twenty-one victims were thrown into two holes. Arms, legs, heads, he said, were left protruding, exposed to the ravages of dogs and wolves that invest the mountains in the neighborhood.
 The Bulgers left the scene before daybreak. Father Yontschitch made his way on foot to the village of Po- nor, and eventually to Pirot, his home. From that time, twenty-one months, he concealed himself from the Bulgars under the floor of the house. He lived almost like a rat, food being lowered to him through hole in the floor. The Associated Press core spuondent visited this place and saw the wretched conditions under which Yontschitch lived. When the priest emerged from his self-imposed con flnement, his appearance had so changed that his friends failed to rec ognize 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 food was slice of bread and a few pieces of leek each day. When the war ceased, Father Yontschitch and 15O other Serbian priests were re- turned home.
 To confirm the priests story, the correspondent visited the spot where the victims of the massacre were buried. The place is obscured on all sides by mountains. Many bones, skulls, and parts of the priests vest ments being scattered about in con- fbusion. The correspondent found near the bones a number of empty cartridges of BulgariOn manufacture. Little candles had been placed in the ground by local peasants who came each day to say prayers over the graves after the Bulgarian evacuation. An international investigation com mission is expected soon to examine the scene.

to inspire me to believe that this is true all over Russia.
 "The intelligentsia and bourgeois are totally incapable of doing anything against the Bolshevik power They take 1t out in talk and abuse. Person. ally. they are fine people, and my Rus. sian friends are all numbered among them, but patriotism and nationalism with them are words which have mt the connotation which we attach to them. I met one man in my fifteen months in Russia who seemed to have a suspicion of what these words mean They are learning now but learning very slowly.
 Tt seems as if the capable and eff. ficient Russian woman will have to stem the flood of disorder and compe, this Russian tumult and chaos to take on order and power. It is there. It will come. But 1t will come slowly and only after the heart of Russia is tortured by the tragedy of it's present situation, which 1t has not yet fully begun to realize. Today and tomorrow morning it is theatricals-the outpour- ing of the native dramatic instinct of the Russian; but tomorrow noon will begin the serious, sober reality to which we can build an international structure"

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

Two years ago, at the age OF
eighteen. / married a wealthy Cali
fornian. and believed myself to be
In love. We were happy for about
seven months. and then ! met the
man I believe was Intended for me.
He was compelled to call on my
husband on business. and one after
noon he came to the house, and my
husband left US alone for the eve
ming. He told me that he was go
ing away. that he could not live in
the same city with me, loving me as
he did. while / belonged to another
man.
/ told my husband all and asked
him II he would grant me divorce.
He refused. and SO came to Wash

II doesn't seem to me that the
question Of fright" is definitely in
volved In this case. You made q
mistake In the case Of the man you
married. You might have found
you made another in thinking you
were interested in the second man.
Time and waiting might have
solved the affair. II is almost i'm
possible for self-respecting
woman to live with man she no
longer loves or with one who no
longer loves her. You seem to

Fourteen Is Early
To Become Interested.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


am a girl Of only fourteen. Do
you think it wrong for q girl OF
that age to like q boy Of the same
age? ! like q boy who does not
live very far away and am sure he
likes me. because he tells me SO
and other girls. Now do you think
1t right for me to like him q wee
bit moro than other boys? know
as my friends say. some terrible
things about him, which, ! know
are not true? My family does not
like him, as they say be keeps bad
company. know ne is getting
better every day. ELIZABETH.
It's the most natural thing in
the world to like some people bet
ter than others, but It Is silly for
fourteen-year-old boys and girls to
get too interested In each other
because experience proves that at
tachments Of this sort never prove
lasting. Be nice to this boy and
use what Influence you have to
make him behave himself. but
don't take yourself or him seri-
ously. Devote yourself to your
studies and to growing into a nne.
healthy woman. When you're nine
teen, you'll smile over the kid"

They Would Like Young Men

DEAD Miss FAIRFAX:


We are two Of your daily readers
and wish TO obtain some advice We
are both nineteen years Of age, dark
complexionsd, rather attractive and
very fond OF dancing. We have
been going with several boys, all OF
whom are perfect gentlemen and
take US to nice dances, but some
how we are not satisfied. They
seem to bore US all evening and we
never really enjoy ourselves, As we
crave something more exciting.
Please don't misconstrue our Idea
of excitement, for what We want is
the friendship Of other young men,
but somehow we cannot seem to
meat any new ones. Would II be
proper for Us to invite boys to call
on US after q hrst meeting? We
have met friends Of these boys we
mention. We know they would be
glad to take US to dances. but hesi-
tate on account Of their apparent
friendship with the ones with whom
we are going. Won't you please
let us know how we can meet more
young men. as life for. us Is just one
Of these poor simps after another.
EUNICE AND BERNIcE.
You know there's q theory that
what we get out Of life is in pro-
portion to what We give. Does 1t
occur to you that you only attract
this type of man? A man Of In
tellect demands something more
than . pretty face. q self-satisfied
spirit and good dancing feet. Un-
fortunately We are not able to get
