The Serbians have realized, apparently, that it is their business

to counteract that impression. Accordingly they have had post- cards printed showing rows of Bulgarian prisoners drawing rations— the men in file with a loaf of bread in one hand and a bowl of soup in the other. Two thousand of these postcards were endorsed by surrendered Bulgarians, who wrote messages on them to their comrades saying how well they had been treated. The two thou- sand postcards were then dropped by aeroplanes into the Bulgarian lines. Since then, says Mr. Ward Price, surrenders have been much more frequent, and the prisoners always -remember to bring with them a copy of the photograph, which they regard as a sort of safe- conduct. One man stated that he had paid fifteen francs for his postcard, and carried it always with him in case he should be captured. We congratulate the Serbians. They evidently

understand the advertising business, and should do well in commerce when the war is over. " Kind treatment for prisoners a speciality," is an admirable head-lithe.
