It Originated In tne First Halt of the Seventh Century. The blrtli nl N-ivin a. u nation, set tled lu or near its present lioine, may he dated lu the llr.-l Halt of tlie sev enth century. About imo A. I)., when the Avarlc empire of desolation was established on the liauiibe, two tribes, the Croats and the Serbs, retiring be fore the ravages oi the Tartar horse men, settled In the countries now known as Croatia, Kiosnln and Servia. They were Slavs, but the Croats per haps bad, like the Slavs of Moesla In after years, adopted the name of a Tartar tribe Itoth, lleelng from the Avars, were naturally hostile to them, and It Is possible that they settled In the empire with the consent or even at the Invitation of tlie Emperor llera Clius I. At any rate, they appear to have been considered us vassals of the empire. Tlieli lirst settlements lay rather west ward of ttie country now called Servia. I lie lrave, the present western boundary, being the dividing line between Hulgar and Serb in the eighth century. Here the Serbs dwelt more or less uneventfully for three centuries. They generally formed a loose confederacy under chiefs called lupans. They were commouly, in a loose fashion, loyal to the eastern em pire mainly through fear of their dan gerous neighbors, the Bulgarians. About 810 they united under a chief named Vlastlmlz to repel the latter. The country rose to great belghts under Stephen Dushan, the czar of the Serbs, but after his death Murad I. conquered the country, and It was not until 1815 that the Serbs partially threw off the Turkish yoke. Exchange Neutrality. A proclamation of neutrality, the first In our national existence, was made by Washington April 'JL'. IT'.Kt. citing the fact that a state of war ex Isted between Austria.
