Distress Among the Servian People

METROPOLITAN DIMITRI, supreme head of the Servian Church, describes in the following words the terrible distress of the civilian population of Servia: “Today 1,000,000 Servians, one third of the population, are suffering every possible sorrow. They are destitute of everything. Women, the mothers, wives, and sisters, and the children of a million Servians, are suffering now because of the second invasion, which must last much longer, and more Servians still are being driven from their homes. In six of the most fertile districts no less than fifty per cent of the children are dying from lack of nourishment and medicine, from cold and exposure.”
