_Experiences in the Flight to Albania_
_Told by Gordon Gordon-Smith, with the Serbian Army_
Gordon-Smith was with the armies of King Peter in the flight into
Albania. He stood beside the forlorn king as he fled with his people
before the German-Austrian-Bulgarian hordes. His accounts of the
hardships and heroism of the Serbs is the first to reach the world.
He tells about the tragic exodus through the mountain passes--men,
women and children; the babes and the feeble on the procession of
bullock carts; the wolves howling through the night and gnawing at
the bodies of the dead along the road. A few of these stories are
told here by permission of the _New York Tribune_, for whom he acted
as special correspondent in the Balkans.
