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.

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.

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.” The Wise Dry Goods Co’s.
