Servia.

“AU REVOIR!” NISH THE SEAT OF THE “SERBIAN PARLIAMENT.” Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, October 6. The Times’ Nish correspondent says that half the population of Belgrade is taking refuge there. The town is densely crowded. Tho British Legation occupies half of a dirty room in a grubby hotel. The Minister for War is housed in the Bishop’s Palace. Outside a small cafe hangs an ink-written sign, “Serbian Parliament.” The spirit of the nation is wonderful. Reservists arrive from the fields, drop the scythe, anfl shoulder the rifle, say “An revoir,” and march to battle as to a new field of golden grain. The Servians are disappointed at the poor fighting of the Austrians. Wounded Servians say that the Turks and Bulgars fought much better, adding: “We have heard the Japs are good soldiers. We would like to fight.them next time.”
