serbia,s Ruined Libraries.

A leafiet issued by the entente COM
mittee of the Royal Society of Liter
allure. in London, describes the wan
ton destruction and pillage of Serbian
libraries during the war, and appeals
for aid in the task of restoring these
institutions. The library of Belgrade
university, the leading collection of
books relating to the Balkans in the
whole world and also the most impor-
tant library in Serbia. was systematic
ally pillaged and destroyed; the large
library at the monastery of Dechani,
dating from the fourteenth century
and rich in historical documents, I'M
derwent a similar fate; and many 9th
ers Jared likewise. Every printing
press in Serbia was carried away or

Reds in South Africa. Too.

Captain Town, according to the LON
don Telegraph's Cape Town CORE
spondent, Mr.. Malan. the acting prime
minister, announced in the house Of
assembly that the government would
introduce bill dealing with bolshevist
propaganda in South Africa. The an
nouncement, though viewed askance
by the laborists, has otherwise given
general satisfaction. 1t was stated re-
Gently on high authority that native
discomfort was never more pronounced
than now. Various revolutionary and
socialist bodies, largely composed OF
Russian and other aliens, have been
issuing bolshevist literature in the ma
tive languages. In a recent prosecu-
ton in Maritzburg leaflet printed in
Zulu, calling upon the natives to
strike off their chains and free them
selves, was read in court. The general
feeling is that the circulation of such
indictments is highly dangerous, and
that alien and bolshevist agitators
should be depOrted.
