Oswego, N, Y, Feb. 19.-ln order
TO raise the crest of the mammoth
dam here, the Salmon River Power
Company will move the Redfeld Gem
etery, noted for its beauty and IN

tails the moving of 1900 bodies and
hundreds of monuments.
It is estimated the work will cos'
more than 100000. 1t is made nec-
essary as the raising OF the dam

Paris Feb. 91.-Captain Walter
Gherardi, Of the United States navy
who has been in Germany studying
economic general conditions, has re
turned to Paris and reports that he
found much unemployment through
out the country and a restless con.
dition containing a threat against the
peace Of the immediate future. He
says Germany's food supplies canno!
last longer than next month, leaving
a great gap to be filled before har-
vest. The German army he says, has
shrunk to insignificant figures and is
no longer formidable.

some dead, some half alive, to pyres
which had been prepared for them,
and their bodies thrown to the
flames.
Many Of the men, said Father
Yontschitch, were still alive when the
Bulgars saturated their bodies with
gasoline 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 bod
les 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
infest the mountains in the neighbor-
hood. al, VI
The Bulgars left the scene before
daybreak. Father Yontschitch made
his way on foot to the village Of
Ponor, and eventually to Prot, 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 a, hole In the
floor. The Associated Press eorre-
spondent visited this place and saw
the wretched conditions under which
Yontschitch lived. When the priest
emerged from his self-imposed con-
finement, his appearance had 80
changed that his friends failed to
recognize him, He was later seized
by the Bulgars and sent to a prison
camp at Eski Dtuma, near tho Ru'
manian frontier. where for three
months his only food was q slice OF
bread and a few pieces of leek each
day. When the war ceased, Father
Yontschitch and 150 other Serbian
priests were returned home.
To confirm the priests story, the
correspondent visited the spot where
the victims of the massacre were bur
led. The place is obscured OF all
sides by mountains. Many bones
skulls, and parts of the priests vest
ments being scattered about In con-
fusion. The correspondent found
near the bones a number of empty
cartridges of Bulgarian 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 evacua-
tion.
An international investigating
commission is expected soon to ex-
anime the scene.
