Had it not been for Serbia fighting
inch by inch to stem the German
hordes and those of her allies. the
war would have been prolonged for
months. il not years additional
thousands of American soldiers would
now lie beneath wooden crosses in
Northern France and Belgium, adj
ditional billions OF dollars would have
been expended by the United states,
and Gcrmany's dream of Mittel-
Europa would have been immcasur-
ably heightened, according to DR..
Rosalie Slaughter Morton. who elo-
quently pleaded the cause OF the lit
tie slavic country, before upwards OF
fifteen hundred persons in the city
auditorium last night
DR.. Slaughter Morton went even
further than this. She asserted,
with the confidence of one who
knows what she is talking about. that
had not the valiant little country held
the Austrians and Bulgars in check
for nearly year and a half, Ger
many and her allies would have con-
Quered Egypt and India. taken the
Philippine Islands and invaded
America by way OF Mexico, and. in the

Americas airmen believe the great

Experience during the cruise

means of the special instruments
and the planes steered back to the
