t—i——■.„,-, ~„/ THE BRUTAL BULCARS. SERBIANS RUTHLESSLY MURDERED London, Nov. 13. Mr. Ward Price, telegraphing from Vranja, says he has fully verified till at tho Bulgars took 3000 men from the towns and villages in the Vranja region alone, whom they divided into detachments of 50, and parties were taken nightly, between December, 1915, and March, 1916, to an appointed slaughterhouse, where their throats were cut or they were stabbed to death. He saw the bones and graves of 2500 victims at Surdulitza. Their old crime was that they were Serbians. .After a night of slaughter the village dogs often brought into the streets human limbs, heads, torn from murdered Serbs. The entire population of the hamlet of Ushevtse, numbering 120 men, women and children, were killed in one day. Innocent peasants elsewhere were stripped naked, tied down on braziers, and roasted over slow fires to make them confess that they possessed hidden arms.—Aus. N.Z. Cable Assoc.
