Some of the more superstitious who heard of the incident are citing it as a messatre from the spirit oV Abraham Lincoln, oa the present war. SERBIANS TO MEET very interesting meeting of Serbians is to tike place Sunday afternoon and evening of this we-k at Indiana Harbor, undr the ausphes of the Servian Orthodox, church, St. George. There will be a dance at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and at its conclusion at 7."0 p. m. there will bj staged a vnndtville performance in which Bbout uventy-flve Servians will take part in (osiun-.es. There will also be speaking and sinking. The principal speaker will be Lieut. Pcopola, Chicago, chief of the Serbian mission. His subject will be, "Foe Wli.it Serbia is Struggling." An associate of the lieutenant's Is already on the ground, having arrived In Indiana Harbor but a day or two ago. This is Sergeant Major Husan Trlvunac of Suit, ndin, Kragujevac, Serbia, the center of the ammunition manufacture in that country. The sergeant major Is direct from the trenches, having been over here about twenty days. He carries several body wounds besides a bad wound in the throat and one in the stomfo h. The sergeant major will also speak Sunday evening. He Is here fmm Per! ia on n recruiting mission, in an effort to replace the ranks of the Serbians that have been shot down by the rer-i nt German offensive. From, an army of SOO.ofto men, they were reduced to 1 00.000. The recruiting, however, has brought their war s- rength back to about non,)00. TTJPT?"P A "P "PA V JT J X .
