PARTS, March 20.
In a great ncrlnl Imttlo over Muclhauscn,
In upper Alsace. 33 French planes engaged
il German air squadron. Tho French lost
four machines and their foes three. In
another nlr raid on Metz, Chateau Sallns
nnd Dlouze, French aviators brought down
two moro enemy aircraft.
Thero wero no Infantry engagements In
tho Verdun region nnd a considerable de
creaso In tho activity of tho big guns.
Tho raid which led to tno battle was
directed ngatnst Muolhausen (Mulhouse)
and Hnbshclm, on the edge of tho Hart
AVald, Just to the cast of Muelhausen.
Altogether 72 shells were dropped on tho
Muclhauion freight station and the avia
tion camp at Habshelm.
The German squadron rose to drlvo off
tho invading French anU gave battlo at
once. Ono of the most dramatic Inci
dents of the engagement ia a. duel be
tween a French nnd a German machine,
which resulted In each of the two ma
chine being riddled by the bullets of tho
."bther's machine gun. Doth were com
pelled to descend. Three other French
.aeroplanes were so terlously damaged
that they wero forced to land In German
territory.
Another raid of smaller proportions was
made by tho French about tho same tlmo
on- Metz, Chatcau-Sallns, to the southeast
of Metz, and Dleuze, east of Chateau
Sallns. Tho targets In this raid, in which
five doublo motored aeroplanes took part,
were tho balloon station at Metz, tho am
munition depots near Chatcau-Sallns and
tho ncrodromo at Dleuze. Twenty large
shells were dropped on the station at Metz
und 10 moro wero divided between tho
other two objectives.
A German aeroplane reconnoitring In
the Verdun region wai brought down by
n French machine near Montzevllle, the
German machine landing within the
French lines. This w.is announced in the
afternoon communique.
Last night's official communique tells of
the bringing down of another German ma
chine by Adjutant Xavarre. making the
seventh machine brought down by that

PACIFISTS SHOW FEAR
By ELLEN ADAIR
Written Speelilly for tho i:rsiNO Lstxizn.
LONDON, March 1 I have Just at
tended nn Interesting session nt n mili
tary scrvlco act tribunal, which sits to
hear excuses on tho part of slnglo men
who do not wish to Join tho army.
In ench big district thero Is n tribunal,
but tho proceedings nro mora or less the
samo at each Mcmbors of tho tribunal,
consisting chiefly of buslnes or public men,
sit round a long tnble, with tho chairman
In tho centre. Close by sits the clerk
with n typewritten list of tho exemption
applications, which he calls out In turn.
At nnother table sits tho military repre
sentative, generally a gentleman of Spar
tan calibre, who makes short work of tho
"shy" young man unwilling to tako his
turn In the trendies.
When tho applicant's namo Is called
out, nn usher leads In tho bashful and
blushing youth.
The Ilrst man In wai an anemic-looking
person, whoso case was n "consennco"
one. No, nothing would Induce him to
flght.
"If a man hits you on tho no3e," said
the chairman with some heat, "would you
hit him back?"
"N'o," said tho lackadaisical ono plnln
tiioly, "I would do nothing at all."
"Would you turn him tho other choek?"
""cs, I would."
"Would you undertako duty which
would bo saving life?"
"N'd, I would not do any work which
would cnablo a man to do what I am not
prepared to do myself."
Tho military representative stirred an
grily In his chair, then Interrupted: "Sup
posing you taw a submarine about to sink
a Lusltnul.i, and you had the opportunity
to destroy tho submarine, whqt would you
do allow tho Lusltanla to bo sunk or do-
stroy the submarine?"
WOULD LUT SHIP SINK.
"If you mean at tho risk of destroying
tho crew of the submarine, I say It would
bo n very end case, but the pacifist view
Is that tho Lusltanla would be allowed to
bo sunk," was the answer.
Tho Chairman: "Supposo your sister
was being murdered by tho enemy, what
would you do?"
Tho Anemic Young Man. wearily: "I
should endeavor to pcrsuado tho enemy,
nnd bring myself before him to receive
his blows, but I could not go tho longth
of killing him.''
Tho Chairman, assuming nn attitude of
horror: "Not even to prevent your sis
ter being murdered?"
"NO!"
The Chairman: "Then I think you'ro
hopeless!"
To the furious Indignation of tho
Anernlu Young Man, tho tribunal recom
mended him for noncombatant scrvlco.
He protested loudly, but the next caso was
called up and no ono listened to his la
mentations. A llttlo hairdresser, 26 years old, said
that his business was In tho Soho dis
trict of London, and that ho was tho
only Hngllsh-born -barber in the neighbor
hood. If ho went to war, his foreign
competitors would tako all his business
and he would havo nothing left. Ho de
clared that ho gavo his parents 55 and $6
n week, had a sister 10 years old,, also a
brother.
"In tho nntlonnl Interests this man
aught to go," said the military representa
tive, sternly.
BARBEn GETS A CHANCC.
Then the chairman spoko: "Ono does
not like utterly to destroy tho man's pos
sessions," ho said In kindly tones. "Wo
will postpono his caso for a month, bo
as to give him tlmo to mako arrange
ments for the proper carrying on of tho
business. He can, If he likes, then apply
to U3 again for a further postponement "
The military representative looked
peevish. "I hope this man will go," he
observed, ns the little hairdresser skipped
blithely from tho room.
Tho next case was a clerk with a con
science eo tender that It would not even
allow him to give a drink of water to a
wounded soldier or help In nny way "so
that the man might bo mended to kill nn
other Individual." Ills sentiments seemed
hardly In accord with tho dictates of hu
manity, although with a pious air he re
marked: "If God permitted tho war, He
did so for a wlso reason, but Ho has not
told mo to take part In It."
Tho military representative, however,
soon mended tho omission.

Some Dutch papers express the fear
that Holland and Germany arc near

LONDON, March 20. Tho Dally
Chronicle's Amsterdam correspondent
cables that It Is Impossible to cxngger
nto tho nnger nnd nnxlcty all over Hol
land over I ho news of a second disaster
to Dutch Bhlpplng In the North Sea,
Tho correspondent Bays:
"It Is Impossible to cxnggcrato the
anger and nnxloty all over Holland over
tho news of tho second disaster of recent
tlmo to Dutch shipping In tho North
Sea.
"The outlook Is now most serious. In
Amsterdam all tho streets and cafes nro
thronged. On nil sides ono hears the
expression of exasperation and of opinion
that the time to net has arrived.
"Holland has BUddcnly changed from It
nation Indirectly affected by the war to
ono prepared and determined If necessary
to take a very different rolo. A sudden
seriousness has seized tho people.
"Your correspondent Is reliably In
formed that threo very large submarines,
each carrying 120 men, were completed
at Antwerp last week, being prepared for
Immediate scrvlco on tho Belgtnn coast."
Tim HAGtin. March 20. Tho Nether
lands press, discussing the sinking of tho
liner Tubantla, refers to tho possibilities
of war between Germany nnd Holland.
Tho Amsterdnm Handclsblad, after dis
cussing tho uselessness of such a conflict
nnd considering tho many tics between tho
two countries, ndds:
"Nevertheless, nothing would be moro
damaging to our Independence and na
tional existence than tho conviction gain
ing ground that wo aro unprepared to shed
our blood for tho defense of our rights
and Independence. If tho attack was mado
ngalnst tho orders of the German Ad
miralty, we expect tho submarine com
mander will get what a pirate deserves."
Tho Nleuwo Ilottcrdamscho Courant
says :
"If the German navy seeks a conflict
with us. It should say bo. Tho German
Government Is using tho surest means of
hurting our national feelings."
Tho Vaderland asks It tho tlmo has not
coma for America, Holland, Argentine,
Brazil, Chill, Sweden, Norway and Den
mark to tako comblnod action,
Engineer Do Groot, of tho Tubantla,
now makes tho statement that an hour

a submarine of foreign build.
MILLION DEAD,
SERBIA'S TOLL
OF WAR WOES
Sword, Starvation and Dis
ease Take One-Fifth of
Nation's People
OTHERS IN DIRE WANT
By HENRY WOOD
HOME, March 20. Serbia has lost near
ly 1,000,000 of her 6,000,000 people through
death by the nword, by starvation, or In
tho recent typhus epidemic, th Prince
Itcgent Alexander today declared,
Tho remaining 4,000,000 face starvation.
It Is to savo them from the greatost
calamity In history that Prlnco Alexander,
tho Prime MlnUtcr Pnchltch and tho
Foreign Stlnlster Jovnnovltch havo begun
a tour of Allied capitals. They hope to
get military action In tho Balkans that
will Insuro tho restoration of their native
country.
"Americans can only form nn Idea of
tho conditions In Serbia by Imagining the
situation In Belgium, had not America
undertaken to feed the civilian popula
tion," said tho Prlnco ltegent. "Hvcn this
plcturo Is Inadequate, because Serbia was
not nearly tho productive, prosperous
country that Belgium was before tho war.
BIG TOLL OF MOUTALtTY.
"Terrible ns have been the losses In our
army, they havo been vastly less than our
civil losses. During the first two Austrian
Invasions of 1911, vlrtunlly tho entire
clvlllnn population In the devastated dis
tricts was cither massacred or cnrrlcd off
Into captivity In Austria.
"Then came the typhus epidemic, carry
ing off more thn 100,0)0. Hardly had this
been overcome when tho Germans Invaded
laBt October. Hundreds of thousands moro
cither fell before tho Invaders or fled to
other countries, hoping to escape death.
Our population hns been diminished by nt
least ono-nfth, a greater perccntngo than
has been Buffered by any other nation in
volved In tho war."
Trlnco Alexander realizes, ho said, that
only by keeping Intact Serbia's fighting
forces could he hope to redeem his country
from Its enemies. For this reason every
thing olso was abandoned during tho dis
astrous retreat through Albania.
PIUNCn STANDS BY FOIICCS.
Tho aged King Peter, suffering intense
ly from tho hardships of tho retreat
through tho mountains, left his armed
forces In command of his son. Prince
Alexander refused to lenvo the Albanian
const until tho last Serbian soldier had
boen transported to Corfu, or elsewhere,
for reorganization. Ho has himself Just
recovered from the sufferings ho shared
with his men In tho Albanian retreat.
"With tho Serbian nrmy which retreat
ed bofore the combined German, Austrian
and Bulgarlnn forces vastly superior In
number and equipment to their own, thero
retreated thousands upon thousands of
women, children and old men," said Prlnco
Alexander "Hememberlng tho atrocities
committed by tho Austro-Hungarlans dur
ing tho Invnslons of August, September
and November, tho'so women nnd children
nnd old men fled under the most tcrrlblo
conditions Imaginable, despite repeated or
ders and recommendations of tho Serbian
Government that they remain.
"Unfortunately, it hns since developed
that these poor people wero only too right.
Wo of tho Serbian Government wero only
too wrong. For Information reaching us
from Serbia, Montenegro and Albania
gives the most sombre plcturo of tho gen
eral situation.
