SERBIAN REVOLT
NAZIS ATTEMPT TO QUELL INSURRECTION Rugby, March 8. A thousand Serbians have been executed in the German effort to stamp out revolt, which, though nearly quelled, is expected to break out anew in the spring, states the Berlin correspondent of the Swedish newspaper Tidringen. The magnitude of J:he insurrection can be gauged from the German statement that a further, 10.000 insurgents have been killed in fighting. So seriously do the Germans regard the guerrilla warfare in Serbia that they have decreed that all forests and bushes are to be cut down on both sides of railways and highways, to a depth of 500 metres. —8.0.W.
