GREAT CHANGES TO
BE SEEN IN SERBIA
Country Is Fast Approach
ing To Stability
SIGHT TRULY IS AMAZING
Ravaged BY Years of War, Fam
inc and Disease, Kingdom
Now Recovering

Monastir, Jugoslavia December T.
Correspondents of The Associated
Press1-Few countries OF Europe
have, shown greater recuperatye'
power than Serbia. Although raw
aged by years of war, famine and
disease, and suffering the loss OF
nearly one third of her male popula-
tion, the country is today rapidly ap-
preaching complete restoration and
stability.
Large cities Like Monastir, Nish
and Belgrade, where the enemy
wrought the greatest havoc in prop
erty destruction, are now like cities
resurrected and reincarnated. Ev
erywhere dwelling bouses, schools
and business buildings have arisen
from the crumbled ruins of their
former foundations. To the foreign
visitor the sight is truly amazing.
But ii not in reconstruction
work alone that the country has
made such wonderful strides.
Throughout the kingdom the thrifty
peasantry have been hard at work
on the farms, in the vine yards, in the
mills, tanneries and forests And the
across the seven seas, and Serbia has
received in return the much needed
currency or merchandise OF other
nations.
Imports Exceed Exports
While like most other European
countries, Serbia's imports exceed
her exports by a considerable margin,
1T is believed that by 1922 the coun-
try will have reached favorable
trade balance.
At present the nation's> trade Is
turning to countries which have a
more favorable exchange, mainly to
Austria, Germany, Italy and Czeches-
lovakia The United States Is push
ing her trade with effect and has al 4
most doubled 1t during the last year
If it were not for the high value OF
the dollar, America probably would
be among the leaders in her exports
TO this kingdom
One of the obstacles to the devel-
opment OF the country's commerce
has been the lack of adequate rail
road transport. 1t is short of loco
motives and freight cars But large
!, loan recently raised within the ~coun
try for the improvement of trans
port facilities probably will have a
far reaching effect
Friends OF Jugoslavia are confident
that in time these unfavorable ele-
ments viii be overcome and that the
triune kingdom will achieve a fore
most place in the industry and COM
merce OF southeastern Europe.

Only Basis Upon Which France viii

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
Washington, D. c., December 2s.-
The only basis upon which France
would agree to the consent or reduc-
tion of submarines would be an agree
ment to preserve peace in the Allan
tic similar to the four power treaty
for the preservation of peace in the
Pacific. It was authoritiyely stated
that such an agreement in the Allan
tic would provide France with tho
guarantees of security which she is
seeking, and it may be possible that
If such an agreement for the preserv-
ing of the peace in the Atlantic were
brought about, France might agree to
a reduction of her submarine fleet.
