He claimed to have gone through the Sitting Bull campaign and the Spanish war without a scratch and to have met misfortune only when he turned sailor. Probably the youngest American held as prisoner of war is Henry B. Hendren, 16 years old. In a prison camp at Dubeck Germany, One of the most human letters of the batch of 100 was from a wife who lives in Easto Boston, Mass., to her husband in a prison camp in Germany. He asked the Tt. M. C. A. to find out why she did not write. Here is part of what she wrote: . "If you have not received the lot ter I sent before, I wilt have to tell you again that a.1 beautiful baby daughter was bora tb us April 2C, 1917. I had her baptized the name of Mary.

(Correspondence of the Assoelafed press.) Though the French troops who havo come to taly have brought iauch, gained during their three years and a half of war. room which the Italians have profited and are profiting, they, themselves, are busily learning new ways of fighting totally foreign to tne modes or warfare In France. and made necessary by the altered conditions here. ,. ( One of the most spectacular, inter esting and important of these is the Teleferico." which the Italians have made an almost lndlsnensable - ad- unct of their mountain flrhtlnar. and which the French i now use on the mountainous part of the sector they have taken over. Aerial Tramways Used. The "Teleferico" is an aerial trani-i way or transportation line which. built of slender cables supported by steel towers, spaas ralley and In half n hour carries food and ammuni tion, even men, to heights that would require hours on foot or by vehicle. The "Teleferico" Is tboroueh and efficient on Mount Tasubla. Just to tne west of Arslero. where, at a height of more than 7000 feet. Ital ian Alplnl and other troops have held the Austrlans In check since Mar. 915. in this defense the wonderful aerial tram has played its silent but mnortant sart. The Italian military authorities. who a week earlier had oermitted the correspondents accredited to thi French armies to visit all the naval defenses which protect Venice and t see In detail the unique type of war fare that goes on among the lagoons and marshes between the cjty and the lower Piave rlveft granted sim ilar permislson to the Associated Press correspondent to see and study this other and unique style of fighting. Soon after leaving the pretty vil lage of Rchlo. Just south of the foot hills that'lad up to Imposing Mount Ptsiibla,. tho broad, stone bedded road begins to rise perilously, curv ing each thirty or forty feet with lckenlng "hairpin"! curves. Soon the cars of the correspondents re fused to travel upward further over the icy roads, and were abandoned when they showed an inclination to slide backwards over the precipice. Vhcm Are VarledL It was then that the "teleferico" was resorted to, just as it has on countless occasions been used to bring wounded men dowji quickly when delay and laborious mule-back transportation would cost them their lives. ' Far out over the valley to the right of the steep road, seemingly beginning nowhere and ending no- where, and supported at long inter vals by massive steel nnrihts re sembling the tofers that carry high power electric wires, were four strands of calble, and, as the cor respondens contemplated their use less automobiles, a tiny carriage or car loaded with sacks of potatoes m swinging dlfczlty along two of ! he, strands, mysteriously working ts way upward until It vanished out ,or sight behind a shoulder of tha mountain.',.';,:... V f "In a few moments well be com fortably ensconsed In one of those and won't need th automobiles," said the dashing young Italian of cer heading the party. ' A short walk up the road led to a low wooden shed- the starting point of one of the teleferico lines that en circles Mount Pasublo from its base to its crest. And into the cars the party crept, two to a car and in a reclining position then to be swung on into space on the first stage, of the journey to the top Tere are several stages to the journey, each requiring about half an hour, and each becoming lncrea.4 ingly nerve.raeklng since the car, which start off at a rather smart pace, slow down In the middle of the stretch, come almost to a stoo.- and Jeav the amateur. traveler suspend ed dizzily anywhere from one to five thousand feet above the nearest jag ged rock. Generally also on the higher lines, the pause comes during a snowstorm at this season. ", Danger Is Rmalf. v However, the danger, according to the "old timers" who travel dally. Is small. The teleferico will carry a maximum weight of over COO pounds to eacn little car- and bat two hu man beings are permitted to rid ex cept In case of urgent wounded, who are stowed awgy three to a car. Tho greatest danger of accident lies" In "rocking the boat"; as it were, agi tating the car so that it might t'o or rock sideways (and spill one our. The trams are supported in their halr-rlslng Journeys by a half Inch steel cable, and are nulled unwards and allowed to descend by a smaller cable that runs around a huge wheel at each end of the line and that is driven 1 by a hydraulic motor, Accidents are extremely rare. Many of the lines, those that run upwards at the. dizziest angles and that have fewer steel supports, ara not used by passengers but carry only ammunition and supplies. At certain times of the year the lines highest up cannot be operated b day because tbey are In view of the Austrlans and make excellent targ ets, put at this season it Is poibla to run them constantly because ot tne snow and for. - The last of the lines runs almost to the front trencehs, which- are hewn out of rock but which in winter are generally snowed In so that th troops embed themselves In snow trenches and live somewhat tho life of tbe Esqulmax. At points tho first positions run within thirty yard.t of those of the Austrlans, and tho war fare that Is carried on Is largely that of sniping and machine-gun Inter change. It is quieter than at any other part tbe present - Italian front. Italian Character. High! v' The Italians have little fear of the Austrlans In the Mount Pasublo re gion, because of the. character of the Italian troops in this sector, who are among the finest In the Italian army. The teleferico system does not date from the war but was In part installed beforehand, and was used ior purely commercial purposes, to J ubui u v upyiicii mm iooa 10 sen fit ments up in the mountains. I)u with the beginning of the war, the tremenflous advantages of the aerthl transportation lines were Instantly rwognlzed, and the existing lines were Increased in number as fist as possible, both In the Mount Pas ublo sector, at Mount Grappa, and elsewhere. Important as It Is. however. It Is but one factor In the tremendous de- rensjve system that has held the Austrlans m check , for more than thirty months. The roads, those which already existed and those that have beefrbullt out of the rocky sldesJ or ine. mountains, are another very Important feature, especially when one considers that on their dizzy curves the hlrh-nowered. sneciHr- constructed Italian camions can haul huge, loads to an altitude of more than 6000 feet. Thousand of Mules Imported. Mules by the thousand have been Imported from North and South America, Snaln and elsewhere, and are especially valuable because un like the horse they sem to suffer little if at all from the bitter weath er, eat little and can go for long periods without the water that is so precious at great heights Even gs have been introduced as beasts of burden In the higher regions because they are very sure footed and willing. The number of horses is negligible, most of them being used lower dwn for artillery. And then there always remains man- power, which stag iters upward with uncounted bundles of wood, The soldiers who hold the Mount Pasubfo sector are a hardy lot. ani the majority have been nesting u the comfortable little wooden bar racks that dot the mountains for pe riods of from twelve td thirty months because -while . furloughs are ea.-y enongh to. get the trgnsportatlcn problems in Italy are so serious that a man com Ins; down into the plaint can ret farther south to his horr.9 only with difficulty.
