Is Going Home, v
JOFFRE IS A SUPPRESSOR!

ParlB, Sept. 30. (By Mall to New
York) Burglars In a miser's money
'box are welcome, visitors to the miser
compared with -what correspondents on
th firing line are to military com
manders. War corresponding has be
come a prison offense in France. Gen
eral Joffre Himply won't have It.
I have Jut passed two days under
uard at the front, one day under
guard In Paris, and eight days tin pa
role, all because of this objection of
General Joffre's to having newspaper
men giving his war operations to once
over a short range.
I was not the only member of this
seeing the war" party, either. There
were seven of us four of us Ameri
cans, Including Richard Harding Da
Vis, an old offender at corresponding.
Having prevlouwly been pinched by
nearly every other army in Europe,
Davis remarked dolefully following his
French arrest:
"By gravy! This war is my Water
looI'm going home."
Cm vis to Quit Europe.
I understand he Is leaving tomorrow,
his "time" being up, his eight days'
' parole expired and his fines paid.
Three of our party and our chauf
feur had Just had the good luck to wit
ness an action around the French left
wing and were bound toward the cen
ter, at RhelTiis. when it happened. It
was a merfy captain who nabbed us.
"Hey!" he called out gaily, in French
of course, "where are you folks go
ing?" "To Rhelms." we chorused. How
far is itr
'.Let's go ask the general," said the
t captain, grinning.
Thalr Car Is Requisitioned.
The Joke was on us. Rheims, the
general said, was seven miles away
ntircly too far to walk.
"Oh, we have a car," we explained
eheerf ully.
"But I've requisitioned It.-" answered
the general. "Captain, will you escort
the gentlemen out?"
The captain would, and did. He es
corted us out and. also In.
Imagine a village without even a
railroad station, a village consisting
of a government tobacco shop, three
farmhouses and beveral cowsheds, and
you ve got trie scane or our arresi.
Imagine also one of the farmhouses
built of stone in an "U" shape, with a
tone fence across the top of the "V"
and you will have likewise an Idea of
the place of our Imprisonment.
Add to this. In the Inside of the
U," . a tableland of hay and stable
ra kings, the whole thing very wet
and smelly under the cold drizzle, and
your sketch will be practically com
plete. Captlvas ; Hot Prisoners.
Through a gate in the stone wall
enir Emlllng captain conducted us. On
the right was a door leading into the
colonel's quarters. At the back, across
the fertilizer plateau, were two more
doors, through one of which I f-piel
two cows, one lying down and chew
ing her cud and the other standing in
that bent-double ppsition assumed by
klne when at their toiletB.
The second door was also open.
It was labeled in chalk: 'Prison."
The captain ushered us in. Our
quarters were identical with the cows'
bedchamber. German prisoners, French
deserters, spies, suspects and pillagers
Hood or lay about on the hay whlcn
Corred the floor.
They put us on our parole not to
run away. They took our word for :t
that we would not run away, but they
also stationed a sentry at the gate,
with orders to sho-t if we gave any
Indications of absent-mindedness con
cerning our promlst.
Hay XiOft to Bleap In.
They were very, very polite and
kind about itV assuring us over and
over that we were not prisoners pris
oners being entitled to rations which
We were not. , And a kick concerning our
quarters finally did actually get us an
empty hayloft, where the proper use
of money also secured us a few bun
" dies of hay to sleep on.
The morning of the second day our
car was returned to us, an armed
guard accompanying us back to Paris.
Arriving late In the evening we dined
in the corridor of the Cherche-Midi
military prison. We narrowly missed
aleeping there, too. but between mid
night and 1 a. m. some mysterious in
fluence shifted us to the Invalides,
where we had officers' beds, for the
rest of ths night.
Then we were released.
Yes, the war correspondent's occu
pation is gone that is, as it used to
be.
No more will correspondents tell
generals how to fight their battles
and also, perhaps, no more will the
generals have fine battle cries put
Into their mouths and become famous
for having uttered them.
Prison doors yawn for correspond
ents. The lid is on.

Seattle, Wash.. Oct. 16. A story of
the daring of three Japanese sailors

German floating mines off Tslng Tau

the arrival of the liner Yokohama
Maru, of the Nippon Yushen Kaisha

The sailors were from the Japanese

commander to blow up the mines was
unsuccessful. The commander derided
to launch a boat, a feat that would
endanger his vessel, because of the
heavy fire from the German forts.
The three sailors then stepped up
and volunteered to destroy the mfhes.
Promptly they leaped overboard and

volleys of. shots which fell around
