AMERICAN SAW
50,000 MEN DIE
IN SERB RETREAT
Were Shot, Killed, Robbed and
Murdered Every Step
of Way
Rome, Italy, April 19. (Corre
spondence of The Associated Press) —
Henry Haller, formerly of the Fifth
United States Cavalry, who was one
of the few Americans in the Serbian
retreat, declares that during the jour
ney to Podgorilza in Montenegro in a
four days' snow storm more than
fifty thousand men died.
"They died so fast," he said, "that
they fell every few yards all along
tho road. The wagons and carts went
right over their bodies. Nobody
thought of trying to turn out of the
way, but there were so many they
could not but drive over them. The
roads were full of mudholes. At one
place I saw no less than seventeen
horses dying in one immense puddle,
unable to pull themselves out.
"I saw hundreds ana thousands of
ragged men, with their feet swollen
too much to wear shoes or to walk
on them, crawling along for miles on
their hands and knees through the
blinding snow, finally stopping and
dying soon afterwards. They never
made any appeals for help. It would
not have been any use. Besides, they
were too far gone, to know what they
were about, that they were dying.
Their last effort to keep going was
merely a mechanical operation. Of
course the great mortality all along
our route was due to the barren nature
of the country we were traversing
with no shelter for but a compara
tively few of us. There were even no
forests where we might have felled
trees and built temporary quarters.
Our fires for the most part were small,
with barely enough wood to heat
water."
Haller, who was on a visit to Buda
pest when the war began, enlisted in
the Austrian army and was serving as
a bugler when, six montths later, he
was taken prisoner by the Serbs and
then finally was marched with 75,000
other Austrian soldiers across the
mountains into Albania and "there
turned loose on the shores of the
Adriatic to tight for life against
cholera, fever and starvation."
"We were supposed to have started
on that retreat," said lialler, "With a
Serb army of over two hundred thou
sand men and about seventy-five thou
sand Austrian prisoners. Not many
more than a hundred ana tlfty thou
sand of the whole lot got over the
mountains. It w r as not because tne
Austrians or the Bulgarians pursued
us, however, with much activity. AVe
died merely because of disease, hun
ger and exhaustion.
"The worst part of the journey be
gan at the Albanian frontier. The
Albanians have in times past been
badly treated by the Serbs, and they
took this chance to square old scores.
They shot, killed, robbed and murder
ed us at every step of the way. For
instance, at Linn, some Serb officers
and a company of stragglers on horse
back were met In the middle of the
road by a few peasants ana ordered to
give up their horses and their money.
It was plain highway robbery and
they refused. The peasants ran away
and within a couple of minutes more
than a thousand shots were fired out
of the bushy hillside, killing most of
the Serbs.
"The food problem was terrific even
in Albania. A half pound of bread
was sold at ten dinars, about two dol
lars. As I had a little money at
Sturza I bought five pounds of oka
beans. Had I not been able to get these
beans, 1 would to-day be a dead man.
I had Just said to myself: 'I can't go
any further,' when I persuaded a
peasant woman to sell me the beans.
I ate beans twice a day making a sort
of soup out of them, putting in a litlle
salt. At that I was far luckier than
the fellows who had to boil harness
leather for five or six hours in order
to make the hot water taste like soup.
I saw men act like savages, eating
pieces of brown paper.
'There were perhaps not more than
two thousand women among the re
treating horde with us and it is a fact
worth recording that they were kindly
treated and given whatever comfort's
were available by soldiers who were
otherwise dead to every feeling. I
have seen such men, gaunt, staggeilng
along, half-naked, with a rew pieces
of cloth for shoes, unable to speak,
with barely strength left to stop near
a dying horse and cut a stringy steak
from its flank, straighten up for a
moment near one of the women's carts
and smilingly tender their last mouth
ful of food to some of the women.
"The treatment of the women on
this dreadful retreat was to me the
most wonderful, the most moving, the
most heroic part of the whole retreat.
These poor women in their flight from
their homes had in many cases been
unable to bring enough clothes to
cover them. Often they were without
stockings or underskirts, or hats or
shawls or cloaks. T have seen time
and time again some freezing soldiers
take off his overcoat and force it upon
some one of these women, and seem
almost ashamed to look upon her
shivering body as he made the offer.
Then he would search along the road
for hours until he was able to strip
some dead man of his clothes to re
place that which he had so freely
given."
What Tfaller regarded as Tils most
remarkable experience was tlie sight
| of a mad soldier dying: from starva
tion. "Clothed only In a ragged un
dershirt he was running barefoot
| down a stiow-oovered Albanian road,
straight as an arrow, bellowing as he
ran," he said. "He ran on and on
down that road, seeing nothing, yet
wonderfully avoiding stumbling over
the bodies of other dead and dying
soldiers and the meat-stripped car
casses of the army horses which
blocked the way. Suffering intensely
as I myself was, I turned and watched
this strange figure. At last a half
mile down the road he pitched for
ward and as I passed him later saw
he was stone dead.
"Other than that Incident there Is
one'other that will stick In my mem
ory so long as I live." said Haller.
"This -was the hanging of a Serr»
mother by the Austrian troops before
I was made a prisoner. We were
marching across a rough country near
Ivochnizter when we stopped near a
wayside • hut at its spring to get a
drink. Colonel Heill of our regiment
also went to get a drink. As lie rose
from the spring a shot came from the
hut. That shot was fired by a wo
man. She stood at the door, an old
shotgun in one hand, a baby in the
other.
"One of the captains ordered Tier
hung. There was nothing else to do
but execute her. As a rope was placed
about her neck and she was led to the
nearest tree all she said was this, in
a hard, cold voice: 'My husband Is a
soldier. I too die for Serbia." She
made no appeal. She did not c.ry out.
We left her body hanging there in
the wind. The baby was picked up
and sent to the nearest prison camp
to be cared for."
Through the efforts of Robert
Haverick, representing the United
States among the Austrian prisoners,
Haller was rescued trom starvation at

Will it be a "Vanitie" with the popular Sport

while his conservative friend chooses perhaps the
Vogue—less daring, yet youthful and fashionable
in line.
With good dyes—good woolens—good linen can

Durazzo and later Ambassador Page
in Rome interested himself in the
case. "I am going back home the
best American citizen you ever saw,"
declared Haller. "I wish I had words
to express my feeling for the kind of
people that are grown In the United
States."
British Explanation
An English servant thoroughly skill
ed In all household work said to her
mistress, "Hits my idea Alum, that bor
ax puts the 'ope In soap! And there
is no 'ope for soap without borax."
It Is true that borax Is to soap what
electricity is to street cars. It makes
it go farther and do more work. Is
very much cheaper, too! 25c worth
of "20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips"
will do more washing of clothes and
general household cleaning than 60c
worth of good bar soap or soap pow
