At Struma, 72 miles southeast of Skolpje, three men were executed for allegedly attempting to incite a Tevolt. : Reports from the neutral Swedish telegraph agency called the Macedonian revolt “bloody.” All Bulgar{an officials have been killed in several small towns, it-said. The Macedonian patriots were receiving ammunition from “the enemy,” it said, _ presumably meaning the Russians.

Draja Mikhailovitch, patriot leader who has resisted the axis invaders gince the fall of Jugoslavia. Axis reports claimed that several leaders of patriot bands had been trapped after.fierce skirmishes.
Guerrilla Activity Increases
Mikhailovitch conferred last winter with underground leaders from Bulgaria and other Balkan countries on plans to arouse a Balkan revolt. Only last week, it was disclosed that he had contracted an underground pact with guerrilla leaders in Poland, Greece, Bulgaria and Rumania to sabotage the axis war effort in those countries while his Chetnik patriots carried on in Jugoslavia. The aim “of the five-country “guerrilla agreement,” it was said was to so embarrass the German war effort that eventually an occoupation army of 1,500,000 regular

group, on hand to meet calls until the middle of October, at least. Then the board will begin calling the single men now deferred because they are supporting collateral dependents. The board has a large number of single men of this type —men who are supporting their younger brothers and sisters or their parents—but the draft calls are so heaVy that this group probably. will be exhausted by December, officials say. : When the board gets to the point of calling married men without children, the men will be taken according to their order numbers, beginning with the first - registration and going on through. As draft regulations now do not make financial deptndency a reason for deferment, there will be no distinctions made between men with financially independent wives and men with "dependent wives, board members said. Of course, each case will be decided upon its merits and if a man should ‘happen to have an invalid wife he most likely would be deferred, BE. W. Strack, chief clerk said. ) Fathers Are Deferred
