WAR DRAMA At SEA
Remarkable Letter From a
French Naval Officer.
Pictures a Night Of Tense Watching
In the Dark-Is Broken by the
Discovery and Destruction
Of a Torpedo Boat.

/ Paris.-There has come to me
writes Paul Scott Mowrer in the Chr
cago News, a remarkable letter from
a naval officer, who is cruising with
the French fleet in the Adriatic, hunt
ing the Austrian foe. 1t gives a vivid
picture of the solitary drama of war
at sea. Here 1t is:
1T is a black night. The wind Is
terrible, the swell monstrous. All
lights are out. Darker than the night,
without a single noise aboard, the
ships, one behind the other, watch
upon the sea that nothing may pass.
Ten miles to the north, ten miles to
the south, they are holding their blind
course. All seems to sleep.
"Our lookOuts at bow and stern, lost
In shadow, are rolling and pitching
like phantoms, while not single
sound breaks the incomprehensible
silence. But the cannon are ready.
There is q man behind each loaded
piece, his finger on the trigger, never
closing his eyes from the moment he
goes on duty to the moment of his
relief. Aloft, the searchlights, too,
are ready at touch of button to blaze
forth, to seek out, to harass. And on
the bridge, the officer on whom de-
ponds a thousand lives, the officer OF
the watch, alone before God, his eyes
on his glass, peers for hours ana
hours out into the black night and the
swell. There must be no failing now
Of sight or mind or decision. That
moment Of failing might be the very
one in which the enemy, crouching
between two waves, launched tor
pedo or sowed a sinking mine.
For an instant in the unreal dis
lance, great paint brushes OF light
appear. They grope across the sky
and sea. stop suddenly, and the WIND
brings the sound Of storm OF shells.
Then no more. Lights and cannon
cease. The night, the swell, the silence.
But the heart beats faster. out there,
they are rowing. Perhaps presently
it will be my turn. ! want to smash

NO CRIME TO DOUBT REPORTS
Vienna Judge acquits Man Who Cues
toned Truth of Austrian
Official News.

Vienna.-The courts are being over
worked in trying persons who are ac-
cused of violating the governments
orders which forbid the dissemination
of alarming news. Most of the arrests
are the result Of reports of police
spies.
The judges are very severe and con-
victions are inevitable. Up to the
present only one person, hall porter,
who was accused of having said that
he did not believe the official reports
about Austrian victories, has been &C.
quilted. In this case the Judge ruled
that unbelief in official reports does
not imply unpatriotic sentiments.

numerous kilograms, letters and
poems of congratulations, read by
Chas. Ayres, which, in fact, were only

those read, a fine letter from the pas
tor of Mr.. and Mrs. Ayrcs' home

A good deal of mirth was occasioned
by the presentation of fancy basket

brated their golden wedding, which
was very appropriate to the occasion.

Delicious refreshments we're served,

then cut the bridal cake, and each
guest was served with a slice.
The evening was made delightful for
all by the courtesy and tact of the

bers of the wedding party. The bride
of fifty years was gowned in hand

chantilly lace collar and wore yellow
chrysanthemums in her hair.

New York, Oct. 26.---Despdte all pro testations to the contrary, Organized Baseball is giving the peace proposi- ton advanced by the Federal league very serious consideration.

Most of the crfppIes will be back in the line right away, and by Tuesday work wdn start in earnest, for the Princeton game a week from Sat- l1rday.
 Parson, the new tackle; Wallace, the center ,and Francke fn the backheId all did very we'll in their hnst matches of the season. and their work, parstic- u1arEy the bunting done by Francis, was the most encouraging feature of an otherwise Disappointing match.

Immediately after the game, the players boarded Capt. Harry Converse's yacht Parthenia and enfoyed an all-night sail up the Sound and through Buzzard's Bay to Marion The return was made today
 Yale men, as a whole, believe that Saturdays reverse suffered at the hands Of Washington and Jefferson will have a decided effect on. the fu- tgre successes of the Blue glad1ators The Ezlis were inclined to make too much of their victory over Notre Dame a week ago, and on the surface appeared to entertain a feeling lead- ing one to believe that they were m yincib1eL
