SERBIA'S CONDITION
War, more thau any other condi- I
lion, says the Portland, Ore., Tele- J
emphasizes the injunction
that we never should weary in well i
doing. Belgian distress has appealed j
effectively to American generosity,1
t'f.r as it has been said by one, "the j
moral claim of Belgium upon the ,
sympathy of the world is greater
thau that of any other war-stricken
country." But the war misery of
Belgium is not the ouly war misery
w» are bound in all humane eonsid- ■
oration to regard. Conditions in '
Serbia are even worse than i:i Bel
gium.
Not long ago, an American, (.Veil j
Howard, working in Serbia for the
relief of its suffering- inhabitants,
wrote to the New York Times that i
t'.ore was a plentiful suppl> of food j
aud clothing and medical stor>s. i
which statement elicited irotn anolue
traveler and worker in the sun-.e
country a description of conditions j
altogether different This latter
statement is from George M. Trevel
yan, the English historian, it does'
uot deny the truth of the story .Mr. '
Howard tells; but it explains I hat i
the conditions which Mr. Howard >1 -
scribes apply to the immediate lo- j
cility in which he has been ;it \\o:V,
and is not at all indicative of co; di
tioi.s in a much wider area, over
which Mr. Trevelyau lias been trav- j
tlirg for many months. The Treval- [
yan story is one of extreme and .
widespread misery—a stoiv of dis-1
trwss that is fearfullj acute—that ;
is truly horrible in its detail and .
txtent.
The story recites that the average
Serbian hospital—and the author
says he has visited most o' them—is
without beds, bedding or blankets;
that the only couch which conditions
will afford is straw, upon wnt»:i
wounded soldiers must lie in tin ir ,
blood-soaked clothing and unicornis.
He goes on to say that the only de
pendence for medical stores is on
I-.ugland and the L'niUd States; and
taat while, apparently, there has
been generous contributions from
these two sources the lack of such
s-tores is woefully apparent.
The more acute misery in Sevbia
nas been caused by the driving out
cf more than half a million Serbian
women, children and old men from
the northwestern section of the
louutry at the time r.f tht Austrian
invasion. They fled to the center
und south of Serbia because of the
atrocities committed 1>} the Austrian
troops, which allegations of war's
ferocity it is not necessary to men
tion here. Suffice to say that this
arnty of helpless refugees is fight
iug for its very existence against
starvation, exposure without suita
ble clothing, and against disease in
its more terrible forms, that hay
come nnon them front privation and
unsanitary conditions
-Mr. Trevelyan mentions that an
effort has been made to get these
;>eopl > back to t'-oir home; sinio tVe
Austrians have been drivt n back
from their attack; but ay the li!t '
h;.d burned the stor*s 01 food and
•-'litted the houses in the territory
they occupied, the way to the oM
home was the sure ro."d to starv
t!on.
It is ia this homeless aid help
less condition tint typhus h;is lilude
its attack upon thev ntis .Me peo
ple. with the terrible prospec t that
as hot weather comes < n. it will d?
velop to cholera. It is a despen.te
condition, perhaps the inert despM
ate developed in the entire course
of the war. It demands Attention,
and then money, and clothing anl
doctors and nurses r.nd food a id
medical stores, and ail.things that
will help to arrest and remedy the
hellish riot of war.
