The compartment was no small the train going so fast the whole thing seemed so impossible. Yet to this daring young American nothing seemed impossible and as the train new, he swung himself up, and before any body knew what was going to happen out of the win dow I lie was terribly wounded he had to cover his wounds with his coat so that his blood would not lead the enemy on his trail.

U-BOATS STILL BUSY OFF ITALY Spies and Fishermen Help Supply " and Signal German Captains. operator remaineu on ooan onto tue ship Kunk and communicated with a nearby naval station, unfortunately no torpedo bouts were available, to rescue the passt-tigers. Including many sol dlers, who perished. There seems to be no doubt that the commander of the submarine had been Informed that rescue waa Impossible, as otherwise the torpedoed mull boat would have been sunk by shell fire. Ceaie to Be Dangerous. Other ships have been sunk both off Sardinia and lu other parts of the Mediterranean very close to the coast under similar circumstances. It Is significant that whenever enemy citi zens or enemy agents and spies have been discovered and arretted in cer tain localities where ships were being sunk by submarines these zones ceased Immediately to be dangerous. Experi ence shows that patrolling the route of convoys Is not sufficient unless the coast la well watched so that signal ing to submarines Is prevented. It seems that U-boats hardly ever use their wireless even among themselves lest their messages should be Inter cepted and their whereabouts discovered. The crew of a ship recently sunk at night by u submarine reported to tbe oillhorltles that when they had taken to the bouts and were pulling away from the sinking ship the submarine whs exchnnirliig flush signals by means . cit' an electric lump. The Light was , very dnrk, and at first the answering siirnnls were not visible, but shortly afterword the flashes of at leaht five piihmiirliies could clearly be seen. ''They were like glow worms over the wa," one of the men said describing the slinmls. Kvldently submarines now keep close together so that mu tunl protection can be afforded and convoys Instead of single ships attacked.

MICHAEL'S Formerly Robb's Studio Independence, Oregon GUGGENHEIM WITH COLORS BASES ON NEUTRAL LAND Craft Hunt In Groups and Havo A curate Information of Sailings Temptation Too Much for Fishermen, Borne. The TJ-bost offensive Is still serious in the Mediterranean. Sul marlne bases exist lu neutral coun tries, where Information, provisions and even petrol ar supplied to the German commanders. Home time ago three Sicilian fishermen were charged with supplying provisions to an enemy submarine off Augusta. In the course of the trial before the military tribunal t Catania evidence was brought to show that while the fishermen were out at sea In their boat a submarine rose to the surface and ordered tl.e three men to go on board. The commander then Informed them that two would be kept as hosJiigt's. while the third was to go ashore In the boat and get the fresh provisions needed. If he returned with them with in two or three hiHirs the two fisher men would not only be released but also compensated ; otherwise the)' would be killed. The man was want ed that If he informed the Italian au thorities the fate of his two compan ions would be the same. Naturally the man obeyed. lie returned with tho provisions within the appointed time and was well paid for his trou ble and faithfulness. Of course the two hostages were released. Kvldent ly the fishermen's story was corroborat ed by the evidence of other men, as the tribunal acquitted the two hostages aud sentenced the man who gut the provisions to ten yeurs hard labor for neglecting to Inform the authorities. Cannot Resist Temptation. There are thousands of fishermen In Italy who lend a bard life without earning n living wage and who can not resist the temptation of tanking money, llesldes, they are easily In timidated by the threats of the cone launders of submarines, who ofter ulnk fishing boats and murder the fish ermen for the Mtke of Imposing obedl ence. It Is reasonably suspected that fishermen aid submarines in many ways. They warn them of the ap proach of war vessels and mystery ships aud give them valuable Informa tion about sailings snd courses of con voys. Possibly if the allies compen sate! fishermen as well as the com manders of submarine . do satisfac tory results would follow. Of course for obvious reasons full particulars about the activity of sub marines lu the Mediterranean cannot be divulged. There have been Instan ces of 1' boats entering territorial wa ters st r!gtit and exchanging spinal with people on shore. I'ntll recently enemy cltUeus were allowed to re side In seaport towns and even de serted villages on the const, so that all they needed to communicate with sub marines was a Itght. Kven now Aus trian and Oermans are Interned In SardlnU. and more ships have been sunk by submarines off this Island than ati) where else In the Mediter ranean.
