NEW YORK, Dec. 25. It waB an
Amorlcan who aitrrondored tho city
of Nlsh to tlio Invading Bulgarian
army after tho Serbian forces re
treated, according to n story told
by Douglas Dold, ot this city, who
has Just returned nomo.
At tho request of tho citizens,
Dold turned tho city over to the In
vadors. Ho nttorwards was stricken
blind as a result of hardships, over
work and privation.
In Relief Squad.
Dold nnd his brother Elliott Dold,
sons of an alienist, loft horo In
Juno as members of an auto squad
attached to a relict expedition sent
out to aid tho Sorblans. Douglas
Dold was forcod to rotum home,
when stricken blind. Ho said when
It was realized Nlsh would bo cap
tured, a 8orhIan roglmont mutinied,;
killing tholr Colonol and looting the
houses.
Itohbcd (ho !!op:ul
Dold- attempting to protect tho
hospital storos under his charge, but
was knocked down and beaten by the
soldtors, who wasted tho stores ot
alcohol and qulniuo which wore used
for tlio sick nnd wounded, and took
2400 pairs of shoes that were among
tho supplies. Attor this regiment
loft tho city, tho people appealed to
the lllshop of Nlsh to Induce Dold
to surroiidcr tho city to the Bulgar
ians and nsk tholr protection.
Asks Protection
When tho Bulgarians nearcd tho
city, Dold, tho Bishop and a thronn
of young womon bearing garlands
of flowora wont out to meet theai.
Whlo tho ,flag was raised and the
offtcer commanding tho Bulgarians
lodo forwards, tho Bishop Introduced
Dold as an American.
"I showed my passport," mid Dold
"and asked for tho protection of the
city and tho people and the hospital
stores. After I got through he
bowed respectfully and his men be
hnvod splendidly whllo lu tho city.
Thoro was no disorder until the
Germans bognn to arrive.
Germans Conduct Bad
Tholr conduct was worse than the
Serbian mutineers. Whon the exo
dus from Nlsh began, the Agricul
tural Socloty turned over to me Its
bolouglugs and Sir Ralph Paget
placed lu my caro tho entire relief
supplies,
Men trlod to glvo me outright
tholr hotels and places of business
and frantic women Implored me to
