MY LIFE IN SERBIA.

HOME IN BRIGRADE WRECKED

GERMANS.

BF

{BY ANKIE CHELSTITCH.]

A devastated, pillaged home awaited my mother and myself in Belgrade, whither we proceded after closing our Surbish hospital in Torstenik. A wo approached our homa la crowd of little boys gathered round us and whispered, "in" confidential tones," "The Germany, have been there 1? When we had forend the door which a neighbour had kindly nail ed up on the German's departure, we had full confirmation of the lamentable fact.

**The hall was littered with papers, re- maants of broken chairs, and other débris, but this was only a mild intima- tion of what awaited us in the rooms. Some of the doon were blocked, and we had to clear our passage as we went for- ward, climbing over mounds of books, overturned cupboards, broken glass and china. Things had been ßung about out of pure devilry, for, as we afterwards learned, four Germans had resided in the house for many weɛka.

The pictures had not been removed from the walls, but were slashed and prodded where they bang. Portraits of people in uniform had the eye pierced. A Landsome suite of Louis XV. furniture had the white satin upholstery cut open and the springs turned out. That this was not done for military purposes of search was obvious, because ether suites of furniture, old and faded, had not been treated in the same way, although they would have been just as good receptacles for hidden documents or valuables.

A small collection of old china and dinner and tea services accounted for the pile of shards which we found in one corner of the dimer-room."

.

YURNITURE FOR FIRING. The drawers of an English rosewood writing table had been removed, as we afterwards discovered, for kindling pur- poses. We found the charred remains in the Ereplace. The bathroom geyser had been demolished, and the electric wires had beea cat, although, as we learnt from the neighbours, the four Prussians had ben using the current all the time of their sojourn. That the pantry had bees rifled and that many useful articles should be appropriated was to be expected, but it was the treat ment of the library that really incensed

us.

Not a single book was on the shelves all had been ruthlessly torn from their covers and thrown on the floor. When we tried to sort and make some semblance of order from among this chaos we found broken jam pots and their sticky coa- tenta trickling in and out among the loose pages. A valuable edition of Milton's Paradise Lost" had its pages so thickly sandwiched with plum jam that it must have been done designedly.

The garret and cellar were strewn with letters which had been removed from every box and drawer, apparently in a search for postage stamps. It was ob- vicus from the grease stains on the walls and the remnants of food which we found in dirty kitchen pans that the four Prussians had banqueted on a large scale.

Our property next door-a smaller, one-storey house, whose tenints had ft at the time of the bombardment had been stripped of everything in order that horses and oxen might be stabled. These had been removed with the departars of the German troops, and the house pre- sented a fearful spectacle. It was quite unft for human habitation-yet it was here that sir families, fleeing from Bul garian territory, begged to be allowed to take up their shode. In a week they had cleaned it up and had settled down, as they said, breathing freely even under the Austrian yoke after the horrors they had been subjected to by the Bulgars. Daily Expres

DOCTORS NEW PROBLEM. CIGARETTE SMOKER'S HEART."

The effect of excessive cigarette smoking. on the soldier's heart is giving our doo- tors, both military and civil, soma pazzling proteins. The latest, as re ported to the Governors of the London Hospital, is that of soldiers discharged from the Army as sufferers from heart

at & civil disease, whom attending

pital afterwards for treatment exhibits

traces of the disease

1.

Most, if not all of the cases of men discharged from the Army for heart trouble that passed through may hands," said a doctor at another London institu tion where, many heart, cases are treated, were genuine cases of organic heart disease, which was inherent in the man's constitution. Cigarette smoking in excess could produce functional disease of the heart, especially if the man were given to the habit of inhaling the smoke. You will notice that many soldiers inhale, and so, unfortunately, do many of the young wome

who smoke a great deal at

It was quite possible, he added,

a soldier's heart might be affected so much by excessive smoking especially if he had been through t heavy strain, such as a battle, that the Army doctors might think he should be discharged; and yet when that man returned to civil life-prabably to work indoors, where he could not smoke so much, the symptoms might disappear.
