BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
TERRIBLE DISTRESS.
(Reuter's Telegrams.)
LONDON, May 15. The A gram newspaper Glasslaboda draws a terrible picture of the distress in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are in a worse position even than Galicia and Bukowina. Whole districts have been devastated and depopulated. Numerous inhabitants left or died in internment camps, and those remaining were massacred by the Austrian soldiers or died of starvation. The deaths exceeded the births by 5000 in 19W, and by 23,711 in 1916, the mortality not including the fallen on the battlefield. The whole of the live stock was destroyed or consumed by the army. It is impossible to cultivate owing to the absence of oxen.
