MACEDONIAN FARMS
, GROWING FEW CROPS
Refugees Cling to Their Patrinomy
Without Food-American Physi
clan and Nurses Sent.

KAVADAR, Macedonia, June 10
Correspondence of the Associated
Press Without food, without clothing,
without medical attention, with hardly
any growing crops promising rehef
when the harvest comes, $4,000 refugees
of this district have returned and are
desperately clinging to the little noun
tain farms which are their patrimony.
Rather than abandon them they will
die in the ruins and caves which today
only half shields them from the ele-
ments.
To this field the Balkan commission
of the American Red Cross has sent
Captain R. NJ Blakelv, U. S. A. Med
zeal corps, of New Orleans, La, with
fifty nurses and several carloads of sup
plies. Villages within radius of fifty
kilometers are now being served by
the . Amerikanska. Medicines are
given at the dispensary, which never
charges a dinar for its services or for
-four. clothing and other supplies from
the canteen. What that means to a
people who have come back from exile,
after three years of deprivation of the
necessities of life, to find their homes
in ruins can best be appreciated here
on the spot.
The station here at Kavadar is but
one Of hundreds of similar stations in
Serbia, Albania. Montenegro, Rumania,
Herzegovina and Greece which the Bal
kan commission of the American Red
| Cross has established.
The town hall is used for an infirmary
and empty house for food and cloth
| ing warehouse and an old mill has been
made into bakery. The dispensary is
| crowded from morning to night. Some
days 250spatients are treated. The
manned and stricken come from a ra
dius of thirty miles. One patient was
| brought in on an OK cart after an un-
broken journey of four days. Tubercul
oss in every fdffd, aItatmsa, and other
| ills, that follow, in the wake of under.
FEEDING and poor housing have affected
a third of the population.
The task facing the Red Cross relief
agencies is heroic one.

ARRESTED Fer SELLING BEER.
Rutland Hotel Man Placed Under
$1,000 Bail-Bar Still Open.

RUTLAND. July 1S.-George j. Vail
quette, president of the Hotel Berwick
association, was arraigned before Unit
ed States Commissioner James p. Leamy
of this city yesterday morning on a
charge of selling liquor in disregard to
the war time prohibition act, the war
rant being issued by District Attorney
V. A. Bullard of Burlington and served
by United States Marshal A. 2. Carpen-
ter of Brattleboro. The bar attached
TO the hotel, over which 2.75 per cent
beer has been sold for the last two
weeks, was not closed because of the
action of the government authorities.
Some time ago District Attorney Bull
lard notified all the places in the state
which were still selling the so-called
"near beer that prosecutions would
follow if i was ultimately decided that
2.75 per cent beer was Intoxicating and
although this has not vet been decided
action has been taken in other states
followed by Vermont
Bail was set at $1,000, which was
furnished by James Fl. Dunn of this
city, proprietor of the billiard parlor
run in connection with the hotel. Mr.
Valiquette, who is also interested in the
Hotel Woodstock in New York, kept
the local cafe open on advice of the
counsel of the Hotel Mems association
Many hotels in the cities have re-
manned open.
