(London Times and Sydney, Sun Services." (Received September 23, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 22. A brave tobacconist at Senlis, exasperated at • the insolence of invaders, declared, "I will serve men, not bullies." He was hurled to his knees. His wife rushed out, shrieking "Mercy." Both were shot. Tlie townspeople, being infuriated, fired on the soldiers and guns were turned upon the town, killing men, women and children. From their shattered houses the people ran, wounded and terrified. A horrible bombardment continued till the town was wrecked within an hour. The Turcos then arrived and pursued and punished the barbarians.
