Ruden are recently reported numerous cases of violation of girls and women by Serbian soldiers. The peaceful popula- ton of voting district A is constantly ex- posed to all kinds of vexations. Crimes of every description are committed daily and those who live near the frontier are rislzing their lives every hour" :,
 It is difficult even by the personal in- Nestigation just concluded to establish the truth of the charges freely made by the Austrian authorities, but that the inhab- itants of the zones are having trough time of it is easily apparent. The Jugo- SlaV occupation of the whole of Zone A. on the south, with the rigidly closed frontier, works great hardship
 Passing east and west through the fer tile basin of klagenfurst, and biseeting laterally Lake Worther, on whose eastern tip the city lies, it cuts farms in two. often separating farmhouse from its fields, leaving others with their woodland on the other side, and as the Jugo-Slav authorities grant permits to pass only in certain cases, much hardship has resulted.
 Farmers with stock on the other side have been compelled to kill or sacrifice, and in several instances the correspon- dent was shown piled. firewood across the line, sometimes but a few hundred yards from the house, which the owner was not permitted to bring home.
 No food can cross to the north. It is all diverted to Laibach and other Slav cities. Thus while milk from cows that pasture within sight of Klagenfurt goes to Laibach, the American relief is feeding the citys children with milk shipped from America. They have just been requested to try and feed an additional thousand.
 The Jugo-Slav authorities in this region deny that permits are refused to land

owners or others who have legitimate business to cross the line They admit the complete embargo on food, but claim they exclude only political agitatorss and. propagandists, They meet the Austrian charges wit hcotulter-charges of the same character and point to the fact that through the intervention of the entente mission here, composed of British, French and Italians, all but about 1900. of the refugees who fled north when the, Jugo- Slay troops moved in have been permit ted to return to their homes. Also they allege that among them are hundreds of agitators and electioneers well supplied with money who are abusing their priv ilege in proselyting the population against the impending vote Then, too, they charge that the Austrian officials refuse passage to persons of Slav sym pathy. They do not however, accuse the Austrian guards of killing.
 Austrian figures place the population of Zone A, the southern region, at 2S,0e0 Germans and 50000 Slovenes, and Zone E at 49.000 Germans and 5000 SloXenes. The Jugo-Slavs do not admit this, claim ing that the Austrians list as German everyone who speaks the tongue, while the population is largely bilingual.
 Neutral observers point out that if the southern zone votes Jugo-Slav, Klagen- furt will be forced to do likewise for eco- homie reasons. Should it remain Aus trian, with political frontier drawn across the edge of the city, cutting it of from the agricultural and village popula- tion that means it's life, it would perish. l, One of the Jugo-Slav arguments, how ever, is that their boundary must be thrown north of the Karawanken moun- tains for military reasons. They say that this great natural fort, dominating

AUSTRO- SOUTH SLAV PLEBESCITE UNION

dom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
 The treaty of St. Germain provides that within three months of the final ratification of peace the ballot shall be held, and it is believed here that the plebiscite will take place in August
 Meanwhile, Jugo-Slav troops, who moved north last May, hold the south side of the demarkation line between the two zones as tightly as war time from tier. They stand guard within rife shot Of klagenfurt and in only exceptional cases can the line be passed by the in- habitants of the valley.
 Several persons have been killed by Serb guards. One was the naturalized American citizen Ernest Jaklitsch of Jackson. Kas., shot dead, the Austrians claim, without challenge, while passing the frontier. The Jugo-Slav authorities say he was notorious smuggler.
 Fifteen year old Betty Eide, shot by a South Slav guard while crossing the little stream that indicates the frontier, was buried with great ceremony by the city of klagenfurt.
 Citizens of the villages and towns along the zone have petitioned the Vienna gov ernn1ent to seek relief through the en- terte from the alleged oppression of the Jugo-Slav soldiery and authorities. The following is an extract from letter ad- dressed to the correspondent of The As soclated Press, recittng the killings men, toned and certain other specific attacks on citizens:
