Description
OUR little Servian cousin lives in one of the Balkan countries, in the southeastern part of Europe. These countries have just emerged successfully from a war with their old enemy, Turkey which will no doubt result in a considerable enlargement of the territory of each
Servian people are to be found not only in the kingdom of Servia, but also in the brave little neighboring kingdom of Montenegro, which, tiny as it is, has nevertheless always maintained its independence of Turkey; and also in several countries belonging now to Austria-Hungary: Croatia and Slavonia, Dalmatia, Istria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Banat, etc.
Small and comparatively unimportant though the Servian kingdom is to-day, it was once a powerful empire. The memory of this past history has been kept alive in the hearts of its people through stirring folk songs and ballads, many of them of great beauty, and the hope has never died that some day their beloved country would regain its past glories.
At present there is a growing, united-race feeling among all Servians, wherever found.
