Milan Stefanovich, a member of
; the Serbian army, made a short talk |
| at the Empress theater on Wednes
i day night, and the patrons were
treated to first-hand experiences of
one of the Boys who have “gove over
the top.”
Mr. Stefanovich was a passenger
on the Northwestern, and was pre
vailed upon to make the talk through
the efforts of the local committee.
His remarks were confined partially
to actual experiences which were the
result of three years’ hard service at
the front. He also touched upon
America’s great part in the war, and
his complimentary remarks stirred
the patriotism of the audience. Like
other men in the position to know,
Mr. Stefanovich predicts that the war
will last from three to five years
longer. Also he voiced the popular
sentiment in saying that the ultimate
defeat of Germany was inevitable.
His remark that “By God, we must
whip the Germans!” was a fitting cli
max to his interesting talk.
Prior to entering the war Mr. Stef
anovich was connected with the Ser
bian secret service work, with duties
in Austria. He was wounded and cap
tured at the battle of Monastir, and
later was recognized by the enemy.

found guflty and condemned to death.
In talking to a representative of the
Daily Times Mr. Stefanovich told of
his sufferings and terrible experience
in a German prison. He graphically
described how he strangled his guard
and was forced to change to the de
1 speable German uniform in order to
escape. His experiences were har
rowing in tfie extreme, and almost
unbelievable. He was forced to look
upon the execution of his countrymen
and comrades in arms, which were
daily t®ing place. All during the
time his wounds were healing he was
chained by the right leg and left arm
to his cell. Dirty, filthy straw alone
wras his bed, and for days he was
given only bread and water for sus
tenance. During his confinement and
convalescence he stoically accepted
the insults and indignities that were
| heaped upon him.
Mr. Stefanovich says that the re
I ports of the atrocities committed on
prisoners of war are not exagger
j ated, and that, the method of torture
"could only come from the Satanic
brain of a fiend incarnate.”
Mr. Stefanovich’s many wounds
give mute evidence of his patriotism
and sincerity of purpose. At every
i opportunity he will appeal especially
i to his own countrymen in America to
enlist in the great cause. His visit
j to Alaska is merely to recuperate
| from his wounds. He is accompanied
on the trip by S. W. Hyde, a wealthy
business man of New' York.
Upon leaving Alaska Mr. Stefano-I
vich expects to tour the coast towns
in the interests of the allies, and later
will join his comrades at the front.

Our former townsman, Jack C. Mc
Eachern, who is now with Company
B, Twenty-seventh engineers, at Camp
Maryland, has written the following
interesting letter to George C. Haze
let:
“1 take the liberty of addressing
this letter to you to show how the
soldier from your Alaska home feels
about the third Liberty loan. If you
have bought or will buy one $50 bond
I will receive
“One trench knife,
“Five rifle grenades,
“Fourteen hand grenades.
"One $100 bond will clothe me or
feed me for eight months.
“One $100 and one $50 bond will
clothe me and equip me for overseas
service.
“Three $100 bonds will clothe me
and keep me in France for a year.
“Some subscriber to the Liberty
loan may know that he has made the
above possible. Why not let it be
you? If you have purchased to the
greatest possible extent, pass this on
to someone else. Every one of us
needs someone behind providing the
money and the tools.
“I'm going across—‘you come
across.’ ”

SHELL-TORN DOLL TELLS
MOST GRAPHIC STORY
ST. CATHERINES, Ont., May 17
Lieutenant Jack O’Brien has brought
a battle-scarred doll from shell-torn
France to freedom, although the doll’s
seven-yearold “mamma” lies in a
roughlv-made grave, a victim of Ger
man ruthlessness. The lieutenant,
who is on leave from the French for
eign legion to do recruiting service
in Canada, is using the doll in his
campaign for new soldiers.
“This doll,” says the veteran of
many battles, “was handed to’me one
day in France by a little brown-eved,
curly-haired girl while the Germans
w^re sweeping toward the village in
which the child lived..
“ ‘I want you to take my dolly to
freedom,’ ” she said, as her baby arms
tenderly extended this ragged little
sawdust doll to me.
“By terrific fighting the Germans
drove our forces from the village.
Later, when we counter-attacked and
regained the town, it was a scene oi
desolation, the bodies of soldiers and
civilians filling the streets.
“Among the dead was the little doll
mother who wanted her ‘baby’ to have
the freedom of which she had been
robbed.
“I buried her in the village from
which the Germans had been unable
to drive her, and promised myself
that I would indeed ‘take Dolly to
freedom.’ ”
