The conflict wlilrli Is now in pro
BresB between the groat powers of
the Huropeun nntlons roniliulB mo
of Borne of my observations during
my travels In that part of the world,
mnlnly along the coast of the Medi
terranean and Adriatic Seas, which
might bo tho Bceno of ono of the
greatest battles of the present con
.fllct. It was In 1011, when I was Ball
ing on tho Austrian stenmer Martini
Washington, between New York and
ports In thoso parts, Hint I had tho
opportunity of visiting many places
of Interest, belonging to tho great
powers who are now struggling for
supremacy on the Continent.
As many travellers will know,
there Is very llttlo of Interest on the
way across the Atlantic until Hear
ing the Continent, Although I re
member of an Incident which oc
curred on oilo particular- vovnirn
which would bq worth while men-
tlonlng.
It was at tho time when Turkey
and itnly wore at war. Amongst
our passengers we had fivo hundred
Itallnn patriots homeward bound to
nld their country in hor conflict
with Turkey. It was on account of
them that we had somo excitement
Inter on during thnt trip.
Serving tho ship ns wlroleBs opera
tor, 1 had tho opportunity of pick
ing up tlio nows regarding tho pro
gress of tho war, picking up mes
sages from as far ns Cllfdcn, Ire
land. My renders can Imngluo that
those most concerned about the news
wcro ma Jinnnns, nnu I iinu my
hnndB full trying to satisfy their
craving for nows of the wnr.
Whenever tho reports wcro fnvor
ablo, they would prompt celebrations
nnd dnnccs which would eclipse our
own Fourth of July.
Trnns-Atlnntlc .vobboIb bound for
tho Mediterranean mnko tho Islands
of Azores a port of call. These
Islands aro owned by Portugal nnd
are a dlstanco of about one thousand
miles from the Portugcso const.
As tho word Azores meaning
blue Indicates, tho place lias been
properly nnmod, for nowhere have
I seen a moro beautiful sky for
background to tho towering cliffs
nnd rocks forming tho islands.
There are no docks for a hlp to
land, nnd wo had to anchor among
tho reefs. Tho few passengers that
dlBomnnrkcu for tunt port wore tak
en off In lighters handled by native
.Portugese. As tho vessol had no
cargo to dlaeluirgo wo were soon
on. our way towards tho 'mainland,
uounu ior uiurunar. '

IMAlTfREE GROVE AND PICNIC GROUNDS
Bring your lunch baskets, kodak and fishing tackle for a few
days' outing. Sunday School and all picnic crowds a specialty.
Excursion to South Cooa River every day. For charter and picnic
arrangements, apply on. board,
wo obsorvo tho beautifully rounded
bay, with the city of Gibraltar, and
n gradually sloping hill terminating
In a huge rock tho rock of Gibraltar-
-as background.
The bay Itself, with Its break
waters and nioloes, presents n lively
picture. Here we see vessols of
every description nnd nationality.
Tho mnjestlc and towering battle
ships of Oieat Hrltoln lined up to
the south remind us of the groat
power of that nntlon on tho sens.
Then thore are big ocean-going
liners of ninny nationalities, some
tnklng, somo discharging, enrgoes
for or from different parts of the
world. Hut every ono of them wo
see surrounded by Binnllor crafts,
handled by natives In picturesque
coHt unit's, who offer their wares,
such ns tropical fruits and souvenirs,
to the pnssongors, accompanied by
the censelesB gibbering of which the
i.atln races nre so well known.
Hack of the liny Is the city or
(Jibrnltnr. n minglo of tho old Span
ish nnd modern, up-to-date struc
tures, adorned with vines and shad"
trees. It is a picture that lives lon
III U1IU O llll'lllU!.
Is there anyone who has not heard
of tho rock of- Gibraltar? It Is a
magnificent sight. It Is hard to
describe. That Bide of tho hill fac
ing the city, and to tho suutliwest,
ls formed of high terraces, rich in
vegetntlon nnd picturesque to the
onlooker.
liut behind thoso terraces nre built
tho forts of Gibraltar, with their
loiig-rnngo disappearing guns, com
mnndlng tho sea for many miles, and
oven tho const of Morocco In Northi
west Africa, nnd It would be Impost
slble for tho navy of any nation not
only to wnge n successful battlo but
even to nppronch tho stronghold of
Gibraltar. And from tho Mcdltcr-i
rnuciiu sldo? Well, from the peak of)
the rock thcro Is n perpendicular
drop of several hundred feet Into
tho blue waters of tho Mediterran
ean Sen ono solid rock, on which
thcro would bo llttlo use of wnstlntf
projectiles.
Well know Great Irrltnln what
power tho possession of that big rock
would give her. Sho could without
it doubt seal up tho passage from
the Atlantic to the Mediterranean
80a bo no vessel could enter or leave
through that gato without KiikIumiIV
permission, and It may piny a very
important, nnrt In tuu nrexent war.
While our memories nre still llu-.
goring with tho beautiful sccucrlc
prcsontcd by Gibraltar, our vessel
Is heading townrd a now and not
distant but equally Interesting conn-
try, and that Is Algiers, In North
west Africa.
Alglerg in a French poHscsslon, a
very nice nnd odd-appearing city
sltunted on high hills nnd bluffs,
with buildings of whlto rock nnd
concrete visible for many miles nt
sen.
We were at Algiers for a tiny and
n half, ami I had the opportunity to
observe Its population, which Is com
posed mostly or Arabian Turks.
There nre French and KnglMi colo
nies, wlilrli nre separately located on
the hlgjier lillla of the city overlook
ing the bay.
Tho natives moke a very striking
nppenrnnce,, as their costumes con
sist of dress resembling bloomers,
which Is. with the exception of tho
women, all that somo of thorn wenr.
The women, before marriage, tiro
compelled to wear vcIIb covering
their faces, with the exception of the
eyes. Therefore, tho young men nro
not permitted to see tho features of
their future wives, and If sho does
not suit him ho Is then permitted to
chooso another.
Our vessel wns ronliim In this
port, which for the Inck of machin
ery wns being done by nntlvo labor.
The con' had to bo carried in bas
kets which tho natlvoB carried on
their heads. While working they
would keep up n continuous yolllng.
They were treated very cruolly by
their masters, fed only twice a day,
their food consisting of bread In
very Htnnll loaves nnd a bunch of
grnpos. which worn thrown down to
(hem Into the coal barges, whoro
they had to grapplo rntch-as-catch-enn
fashion, each for his own por
tion. In tho early mornlnir of tho sec
ond day a small Turkish nmn-o'-wnr
mndo her .nppoaronce In the hnr
bor. socking refuge from pursuing
Hollnn battleships. Tho Arabian
Turkish Inhabitants of Alglors. see
ing their fighting craft damaged and
In distress, expressed their grief by
gathering along the waterfront nnjl
bowing to the ground nnd giving
vent to their feelings In 111011111111
cries.
Seeing this, our aforementioned
Italian passengers lot tliclr niitliim-
Insm run to bucIi n high degree that
I "lir '"inmnnder thought safer to
wcI?1' nw)lw """. Proceed to our
","V nort r ''"" wh,c w"a I'nlerno,
Leaving Algiers, we booh entered
tho war zone nnd our officers wero
compelled to navlgato cautiously In
order to avoid encountering any
Turkish wnr vessels. Ah wlrolcsa
man, I received str'ct orders to re
cord nil strny Blgnnls nnd present
them to tho brldgo Immediately.
I had many exciting hours, re
ceiving messages being transmitted
In different Inngiinges, such as Eng
lish, French, Itallnn, Turkish. Gor
man nnd Greek. Somo of them I
understood, but moBt of thorn I did
not.
A great ninny of them wero por
tnlnlng to the movements or tho
nnvlcfl nnd nrmlcB of tho hostllo nn
tlons. Fortiinntoly our pnssngo to
Polerno ended without n mishap.
Pnlcrno, ns tho aforesaid visited
ports, run bo observed from n long
dlstanco nt sea, bolng sltunted 01
high hills which nro barren of vego
tntlon, prominently showing som
of tho buildings, which look to In,
enrved out of tho rocks on tho sldo
of the hills.
It was In tho afternoon thnt wo
Btonmed Into port, Just In tlmo to tico
two largo Italian transport!) laden
with troops leaving for Tripoli. Tho
ontlro city appeared to bo In n stuto
of oxcltomont. Tho dopnrturo of tho
transports, as well as tho arrival of
our vessol bringing tho Itnllnns homo
to Join their countrymen, In which
thoy wore not very long dolnyod,
woro bolng cheered and tholr na
tlonal nnthom wns bolng sung.
Owing to tho provnlllng condi
tions which nffected tho hnrbor fu
cllltlcs, It wns necessary to leave port
ns soon us posslblo. After touching
nt tho portH of Naples and Messina
for Bhort periods of tlmo, wo pro
ceeded for Pntrns, a prominent
Crook port, whoro thoro nro still
vlslblo traces of tho civilization of
tho anclont Greeks. Thoro woro
ruins of whnt Wero nt ono tlmo mag
nificent palaces with high nrchos
nnd rolonndos. Our plnco of land
ing was what Is called tho "Haptlsm
of tho Wnters."
On leaving PutroB, our courso wns
now dlrocted towards our final des
tination, which was Trieste, Austrln.
From now on wo wero actually In
the territory of tho warrlug nation.
Tho country along tho const of which
wo woro snlllng Is 11 very mountain
ous and barren looking country, with
n rodtllsh-tlngod boII nnd rocks which
hnd probably been thrown from somo
volcnnlc eruption In years conn hv.
This country nlong tho east sldo
of tho Adrlntlc Sea haH a very In
teresting history, Including many
bloody bnttloa fought botwoen tho
Hnllcan States for the pnst century,
and which Is In the Immedlnto vicin

It was nlso In this territory nnd
