GERMANS GAINING
UPPER HAND
IN SERBIA
GARIANS BUT DO NOT
HATE TEUTONS

BELGRADE, June 24.-The Ger
a and Austrian peaceful infiltra-
ton of Serbia has begun. The ho-
tells of this city harbor guests whose
identity is revealed by their heavy
Teutonic cast of features. They
talk in German and laugh loudly
over their beer. Indeed ii one does
not speak German in Belgrade one
sometimes finds himself misunder--
stood. The walters do not know
English or French in the majority of
cases.

would be mobbed in Belgrade if l

self-styled Swiss salesman. How

ian I was treated with disrespect,

ignored and that when ] spoke Eng

Serbia from one end of the Il
try to the other has been flooded
with cheap Austrian and German
goods. How they got in one cannot
learn but every shop window in the
villages from Uskub to Semendria
contains cheap mirrors, toilet ar
ticles, knives and gimcracks of every
of the articles are backed with col
ored pictures under celluloid of the
former Austrian and German rulers
in all their regalia. There seems to
be little prejudice against German
and Austrian goods among the peas
cnts and village dwellers of Serbia.
The Serbian hates the Bulgarian
as venomously as ever but he does
not sing a morning hymn of hate
against Germany or Austria. The
country is flooded with pictures of
atrocities committed by Bulgarians
upon Serbians. The former Emperor
Charles picture still adorns the local
police headquarters.
In Belgrade there is bitterness
against the Austrians, especially
among the better class of people
whose homes were Systematically de-
spoiled by Austrian officers who
shipped 60 trains of household goods
from Belgrade across the Danube
into Austria. Each train was com-
posed of approximately 80 cars.
Three hundred pianos were included
in the loot. Belgrade and northern
Serbia are flooded with the depre-
ciated Austrian currency, in fact
there apparently is more Austrian
money in circulation than Serbian.

IA rade, Secretary Daniels re-
y lated an interesting story Of
Lieutenant Commander James
E. Jouett (afterward admiraD, and his
friend, Peter Umstead Murphy of the
Confederate navy. Jouett commanded
the U. S. S. MetacOmet at the battle
of Mobile Bay, and Murphy commanded
the Confederate gunboat Selma, which
was captured after hard fight by the
Metacomet.
Murphy has been a lieutenant in the
United States navy and had resigned
to fight on the Confederate side. In
the old days, before the war, Murphy,
then lieutenant. had been very kind
TO JOuett, then midshipman. Two
days before the battle of Mobile Bay,
so the story runs, Jouett, while mt Pen
sacoIa, remembering that Murphy was
fond of good eating, bought a quantity
of crabs and oysters and other delica-
cies and placed them on ice. Three
Confederate gunboats, including the
Selma, Murphy's ship, were then lying
under Fort Morgan, and JOuett know
ing that Murphy commanded them,
told the officers that he was fond OF
pete Murphy, as he was called. and
hoped to catch him, and he always
kept on hand some good wines and
cigars for him. It happened as Jouett
had hoped. The Metacomet was order
ed by Farragut to pursue the Selma.
and Jouett did catch Murphy. When
the fight was over, Jouett ordered his

Kirby Asserts Federation is Power Dominating
 Government.

Chicago. April 1S.-Denunciation of the American Federation of Labor as the power that dominates the govern ment at Washington was the feature of a, speech here last night by John H. Kirby of Houston, Texas. president of the National Lumber Manufactur- CTS Association. Kirby said:
 There is a privileged class and a ruling class within our country to- day. the class that takes the brand of the union label instead of the great seal of the state, and is dictated to by the American Federation of Labor that maintains & lobby in Washington that hound those not agreeable to it's dictates.
 Under the cloak of getting work for the returning soldiers some $14,- 6O0,0 was appropriated in a Dill to congress for the employment bureau there, but such 8. protest was made that this was reduced to $10,000, 900. Then the farmers of the country learned what was being done and the entire sum went out of the bill, which shows how quickly congress responds to the voice of the real people.

 IN GERMANY

CobIenz, Thursday. April 17.-By The Associated Press)-The frs. train of Polish troops being taken to Poland became lost soon after entering oc- cupied districts of Germany. The train pulled into Treves late on We'd nesday and. because Of the nisunder- standing of orders by German railroad men, it was sent to Cologne instead of Coblenz.
 Early today when the soldiers look ed from their car windows and dis covered they were in Cologne, there was some excitement on board the train. but Allied officers soon straight ened out the misunderstan nding and the train was brought to this city. when the Polse got here and crossed the Rhine their excitement had en- tirely disappeared and officers on duty at the station in this city re- ported that the discipline on board the train was excellent
 As a result of the nlix-up, the sec ond train of Polish troops arrived here ahead of the first train and started on its journey across Ger many. taking the place the train which had been misdirected

BRITISH WARNED
 AGAINST TURKS
Say They Will Destroy Church If Returned To
 Christians.

London, April IS = (Correspoho- ence of The Associated Press) Warning that the Turks had threat ened to destroy the Church of St. Sophia fin Constantinople. If any move ment was undertaken to restore that church to the Christians has been re- cefved by government officials of Great Britain.
 The subpject was brought up in the House of Commons the other oay when Arthur J. Balfour, the foreign minister, was asked If he had recsiN- ed a communication from Constant nop1e stating that the Turks 1ntena- ed to blow up the Church of St. SO phia If any public expression oI opinion took place in the United Kingdom in favor of the restitution 10 Christendom of one of the oldest Christian churches in Europe.
 Mir Balfour replied that no official communication to that effect had been received but that such informa- tion had been conveyed by interested parties He announced that Adn1ral Calthorp, British commander in Con stantinople, had been instructed to take meas sures to protect the build ing and that he would see that these were CdIl Outs
 Despite the warning there is a deh- mite movement looking to the restor- alton of the great cathedral church of ancient Constantinople to the use of the Christian religion. Erected at first in 360 A. D. and rebuilt in 537 as a Christian cathedral, St. Sophia Moslem house of worship and is now the principal mosque of StambouL

Justice requires that the Christians of that city, who form a large ma jority of its inhabitants should have their priceless building est. Sophia) restored to them. It has no special sacredness for Moslems. Its value in their eyes is merely political.
 The great church is now in seri- ous condition and must inevita bly, collapse if it is not placed in capable hands, says the memorial. ''The glor- ious mosiacs, a precious heritage among the artistic treasures of the world, should be uncovered from the defacement which Is necessarily i'm posed so long as the building, con structed and decorated for one faith, is aIienated and devoted to another"

PEOPLE SHOULD
 AWAKE TO DANGER
Rep. Blanton of Texas Bit terly Assails Samuel
 Gornpers.

Mineral Wells, Texas, April 1s- Representative Thomas L. Blanton of Abilene, Texas, speaking last night at the convention of the United States Good Roads Association, declared that the people of the country must awak- on to the danger that impends to their liberty because of the attitude of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor.
 He asserted that Gompers had forced President Wilson to exempt members of labor unions from the draft act; had forced Secretary Mo Adoo to take seven hundred millions of the money of the people and the railroads and give it to the members of the four big railroad brother hoods; and that when congress had passed a bill to compel government employees to work the eight hours for which they were being paid he
