NOT ENOUGH OF WAR.
Young Bavarian, Three Times
Wounded, Seeks Further Service.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 11.-From Bohemia
comes the story of young Bavarian
who has not had enough of war, not
wtthstanding that he has been three
times wounded and was finally order
ed placed on the invalid list. He pre-
sented himself at recruiting Office in
a Bohemian town as volunteer for
the Austrian army, giving the follow
ing account of himself:
He had joined the Bavarian army as
a volunteer in the first week Of the
war and received his first wound, a
slight one in the arm, in the carly
fighting in Belgium. After five days
in the field hospital he broke away and
rejoined his regiment. Soon after
ward he was shot through the right
arm in one of the battles in France and
had to spend several weeks in hos
pital. When he was finally dismissed
his father, who had Just fallen in one
OF the battles in the Vosges noun
tains.
About Christmas he received a bad
bayonet wound in the thigh in a battle
near Lille, and after he was fairly re-
covered the surgeons pronounced him
unfit for further service. His thirst for
battle, however. was not assuaged. He
went TO Austria and offered himself
there, pleading that he was alone in
the world now, his father dead and
his only sister married, SO his life was
Of no value to any ono. But his plead
ing was in vain, he was turned away,
and the question IL now asked whether
he will offer himself to the sultan.

The captured soldiers rise at o'clock

meal consisting of thick soup made of
legumes, cabbage and meat. a sort of

the French and the Belgians under
German supervision.
The men work in the afternoon un-

HONORS THE WAR TRUCE.
London Anti-Sufragette Paper

Correspondence OF tne A16OcldteQ fretS
LONDON, March 24.-"Patriotic fer
vor draws thunderous cheers in place
of old-time Jeers." is the way a London
newspaper heads an article on Mrs
Pankhurst as a popular war orator
The paper itself is violently anti-suf-
fragette, but honors tho war truce
which the suffragettes announced at
the beginning Of the war.
It was only a year ago when a speech
by Mrs. Pankhurst was a signal for a
riot, II allowed to proceed at all Now
she is described by a reporter in these
words:
"A graceful. disnined figure the suf-
frage leader makes as she faces the
audience. Over q becoming black dress
she wears a black lace shawl; suspend
ed from a thin gold chain is lor-
gnette, which she does not use The
Union Jack centered across a curtain
Of green forms the stage background" :"
Her woman followers still send up
floral offerings to the stage, says the
reporter. In speaking. Mrs. Pankhurst
carefully avoids passion and invectiye,
but she presents her points clearly and
.tellingly and with conviction. At the
finish Of her speech young suffragettes
sell postcard souvenirs for a patriotic

BUDAPEST FOOD QUESTION
NOW PARTIALLY SOLVED
Authorities Obtain Considerable Sup
ply Of Flour and Grain-Rigid
Restrictions in Distribution.
Correspondent. of the Associated Press.

BUDAPEST. March 5.-The food
question has at last been to some ex-
tent solved in this city The authorities
have a considerable supply of flour and
grain on hand, and some official state
ments aver that the stock will last
until tho next harvest, although 1t is
not generally believed. The distribu-
ton of flour is going on under rather
rigid restrictions.
The grain was obtained just in time
to avoid serious trouble with the popu-
lace. which had become very ugly
over the prospects Of famine Great
preparations are being made for maxi
ing the next harvest as ample as pos
sible. All agricultural laborers now
with the army are to have fourteen
days leave for the spring planting, and
are required to spend this time in the
same locality where they worked last
year. The government also has an
nounced that groups of soldiers from
the reserves, twenty men in each group,
may be rented for agricultural work
on application from approved land
owners.
Probably no attempt will be made to
employ prisoners of war for this work
in Hungary, as the camps where the
prisoners are interned are hotbeds of
contagious diseases. and the prisoners
would spread them all over the country.

LOS ANGELES AFTER oLYMPICs.
California City Would Like to En-

LOS ANGELES, April 5.-Los Angeles
is the latest city to shy it's hat in the
ring for the Olympic games in 1916. It
is generally believed now that Berlin
will abandon any attempt to hold the
worlds greatest athletic meet, and it
seems obvious that the contests should
be held in a neutral country.
Los Angeles claims that it could fur
nish practically as large attendance as
either Philadelphia or New York. The
opening of the Panama canal has
brought southern California in touch
with European countries by boat, so
that distance would not figure ma

THEORY BASED ON CASES
NOTED BY SCIENTISTS
Indefinite Suspended Animation
Proved to Be Reality by In
cidents Recorded in History.
Copyright. 1879

The history of cases of suspended
animation"-cases in which every in
dication has pointed to death, but in
which actual death had not occurred
gives rise to the hope that every posi-
the crew of the submarine F-4, recently
sunk in Honolulu harbor, when efforts
to bring her to the surface have proved
successful. Instances in the past, not
numerous perhaps. but thoroughly au-
thenttcated by scientists, make 1t ap-
parent that such efforts should never
be omitted. irrespective Of the time Of
apparent death.
The commander of a German subma-
rine is reported to have said recently
that in cases Of accident submarines
crew needs no undertaken, for they
carry their coffin with them. That the
vessel may in certain contingencies
not prove coffin, however. but a cold
storage vault capable of keeping the
bodies of the men in a state of indef-
nttely suspended animation. with an
even chance of their restoration to
normal life, is a more hopeful theory.
backed by similar incidents of the past
and upheld by possibilities for which
cold science is authority.
One Phase Neglected.
The wonderful development in the
possibilities and range Of activities of
submarines have been a prominent fea-
ture of the last decade. 1t is note
worthy. however, that although i'm
provement has been marked in all 9TH
er matters connected with the sub
marine and its activities. in matters
connected with the preservation OF
human life under the adverse influences
that under certain conditions seem al
most unavoidable they have remained
practically at a standstill.
Apart from the mechanical dangers
connected with explosions Of ammuni-
tion, ramming by vessels or flooding
of the submarine through 1eakages, the
dangers to human life are mainly those
need of the human system in its state
of active vitality for supply of
oxygen.
If this is not supplied. the air be-
comes vitiated by the carbon dioxide
constantly exhaled by the lungs and
skin of the breathing human body. the
mind becomes gradually stupeied. and
mind and body become torpid and in
active. finally passing into stage
which to all intents and purposes Is
that of death.
In cases, however, where bodies are
in air-tight places. shielded from the
dryness and moisture Of the external
air. the body may in reality not be
dead at all. but simply in state Of
suspended animation. from which it can
be resuscitated by any person taking
the proper methods within a reasonable
length of time.
1t has been proved that persons can
live forty days without food, and thir-
vi
length of time in which they can live

termined.

BRITISH PRIZE COURTS
SELL TONS OF PROVISIONS
Most Of the Cargoes Belong to Amer
lean Firms, Who Hope to
Break Even"
,orrespopdeuce Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. March 22.-Fifty thousand
tons Of provisions sent to English
prize courts since the opening of the
war have been sold within the last
week and the money for the cargoes is
in the hands of the court officials.
Most of the cargoes belonged to
American firms. Wheat, flour and all
sorts of provisions were included.
Tired Of the delay in getting hearing
on their cases. agents Of the owners of
most of the cargoes welcome the sale,
providing the money is paid promptly.
The provisions were consigned to
firms in Holland. Sweden, Norway.
Denmark and Germany, and most of
them were shipped early in the war to
firms which the British suspected were
German agents, but the cases never
came up for court decision. The sup
plies were bought, for the most part,
on a much lower market than the pres
ent. Naturally the owners have suffer-
ed great loss through the delay, but
the sale prices were well above the
cost and would enable American ship
pers to break even If speedy settle
ments are made.
Proof Of Consignment Difficult.
Under the international regulations
controlling foodstuffs, the regulations
generally accepted by both England
and the United States. food is not con-
traband unless destined for the use of
a hostile force.
1t would have been extremely difficult
to prove to the satisfaction of any
court that most of the food consign-
ments held in England were of enemy
destination. much less that they were
for use of the German army.
Apparently the English government
did not care to undertake such a task
At one time it was suggested that all
detained foodstuffs should be sold to
the American commission for the relief
of Belgium, but the English board of
trade would not consent to such SALE
taking the position that the foodstuffs
were needed in England. Consequently
the cargoes were finally sold at current
prices.
