HARDSHIPS OF
SERB TROOPS
Army’s Supply Department Un
equal to Demands on it. Pris
oners in Rags, No Boots.
Mitrovici, Hungary—lt is stated here
lhal the Servian army’s supply de
partment haH proved unable to meet
demands upon It and that the troops
have suffered grewt hardships. Those
assertions seemed to be borne out In
part by the condition of 500 Servian
prisoners who were standing today
about one of the three market places
of Mitrovici. They were in rags, un
washed, unshaven.
Very few of the men had hoots
none good ones. Most of them wore
the contrivance of rags and leather
peculiar to the peasants of the Bal
kans. and these had become useless
from long matching.
On Every Face.
Want was written on every face,
Many men were so weak that they
had to tie assisted by their more ro
bust comrades. The younger men were
In worse physical condition than their
elders, though all suffered the same
hardships. An Austrian officer ex
Plained that by saying It was his ex
perience that young men were more
easily affected by want of food than
middle aged persons . whose alimen
tary system does not have to provide
for demands of the "growing habit.'
Somebody handed cigarettes to the
Serbs and they brightened up.
"Too much war,” said one. "We
have been fighting for three years now

The conversation was halted by an
Austrian officer.

N. 0. PAPERS TO
APPEAR 'LIGHT
Only Slightly Smaller Issues
This Afternoon on Account of
“Open Shop’’ Declaration.
New Orleans.—Although the three
New Orleans newspapers last night
declared for the "open shop” as re
gards their composing rooms, the two
afternoon papers today prepared to
publish only slightly smaller papers
than usual.
The principal point that caused the
break between the typographical union
and the publishers was the "five day"
rule recently enforced by the union.
It provides that a printer holding a
position may work only five days a
week. This, the publishers claim,
caused unnecessary confusion and ex
tra expense.

Peaceful Revolution in Georgia Fighting
to Make the Whole South Permanently
Prosperous Aside From Cotton
Commossioner J. D. Price declares:
"One great result stands out above
all things; the farmer, in one way
or another, is becoming keenly aware
that he must change from cotton to
diversification. The pinch of neces
sity would have shown him this
eventually; the agitation over diversi
fied crops has shown him this al
ready.
"For the Georgia farmer ,s chang
ing them fast. If every Georgian could
read the country newspapers, if he
could talk to thousands of farmers
and get first-hand Information, he
would be startled at what revolution
ary farming tactics these Georgia crop
producers have already. And it Is not
easy to change quickly from a system,
however had, which has existed for
generations.
"From all over the state I hear of
these changes. Men traveling in South
and Middle Georgia during the past
few weeks of cold weather speak of
newly killed hogs swinging from poles
Maude Adams in “The Legend of Leonora,” at The Grand
Tuesday Evening January Fifth.
on every farm, more hogs than they
ever saw before. I am told of [>lans
to organize flour mills, to operate
exchanges, to give credit on grain
warehouse certificates.
"I have observed and also have
been told of a great lack of mules on
farms all over the state. Farmers,
needing the money, have sold thou
sands of mules for low prices. I am
sorry to see this, but it is significant;
it means two things; it means that
cotton will be reduced on many farms
by necess'ty, if for no other reason,
for mules are needed to work a cotton
crop; it means also that many farm
ers, already started on diversification,
have sold their mules because they
don’t want to plant cotton and know
they won’t feel their loss. In place
of cotton they will sow grain crops,
which don’t need so much mule pow
er; they will plant feed, they will
raise hogs and cattle, and they can
work corn and truck with what mules
they have left.”
