SERBIA SUFFERED
TERRIBLY in WAR
Financial Loss Amounts to
1O,0OO,OOO,OOO Francs

Geneva, Switzerland, Jan. 20, (Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press
Losses sustained by Serbia during
the were are estimated by Milos
savcic. member Of the Central Com
n1ittee for Serbian reconstruction here,
TO aggregate o,Ooo,o0o,0oo francs.
This is exclusive Of the war expenses
incurred BY Serbia and Of the wa
loans Serbia received from the Allies.
NJ. Savcic asserts that the present
value of the Serbian property would
be double what 1T was at the time
Of It's destruction or 10000, 900. 900
francs.
Serbia and Montenegro, declares
M. Savcic, have suffered greater
losses in lives, relatively speaking
than any Of the other Allies. Serbia
alone lost about $4,000 men up to
the arrival in Confu in 1915. One
half Of her tax-paying citizens and
one-third of her population persisted
from sickness, epidemic diseases and
the unprecedented savagery of the
enemy at the time of the invasion of
1914, and during the three years of
domination of the Bulgars and Austro
Magyars.
Our enemies sought not only to
destroy Serbia economically but to
exterminatc her people, so as to rid
themselves once and for all of the
barrier which blocks Germany's way
from Berlin to Bagdad.
The restoration of Serbia will re-
quire q certain amount of time The
enemy must return everything he
plundered from the Serbian muse
ums, libraries universities. churches
and schools and whatever has been
destroyed must be replaced. Germans,
Austro- Magya.rs and Ru1gars must re-
turn the livestock which they drove
away and pay for the tim ber vine
yards and orchards which they cut
down and ruined. Agricultural im-
pleme nts and industrial machinery
must be replaced in kind The Allies
must supply us with food as quickly
as possible, likewise with textile, and
medical stores all of which are COM
plctely lacking in Serbia. Devastated
towns and villages must be rebuilt
Banks, loan societies and savings
banks must be supplied with money
SO that economic enterprise may be
revived"
Estimating the damages inflicted
upon Serbia, M. Savcic, who was
former Serbian minister of Public
Works, places the value of one years
harvest in Serbia at 1900, 100000
francs and adds that the enemy seized
three harvests. The invaders destroyed
10000 horses. 100000 sheep and
