VIENNA. September 1s.--A CORE
spondent of the Neue Freie Presse
writes from the front in the Bukowina ::
Among 700 prisoners recently taken
by our troops near the Kirlibaba Pass
were eleven Frenchmen. eighteen Jap
anese and twenty Serbans. One of the
captured French officers told me that
he was sent TO Russia with about 5000
other officers, noncommissioncd officers
and privates to train artillersts. This
was no easy job, and ii took consd-
cradle time before the Russian recruits
learned how to handle the big guns
furnished by England, France, Japan
and the American manufacturers. AS
soon rs the new artillcrists became
efficient enough they were sent to the
front with their French instructors.
"A Japanese officer told me that
about 10000 of his countrymen are
lighting in the Russian ranks This
force was picked from different Jap
anese regiments and sent to the front
in Europe early last spring.
THE Serbians with the Russian
army number about 5000. They are
soldiers who fed into Roumania at
the time OF Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen's drive through Serbia. They
were interned when they crossed the
Danube. but the Roumanian govern

sent them 10 Russia. where they were

ALL ITALY BITTER

PRESS FOSTERING HATRED
Papers Are Devoting Many Col

ZURICH. September lG-The Rome
correspondent OF the Zurich Post
writes:
The friendly feeling towards Ger
many which existed in Italy even after
the declaration of war against Austria
has turned into violent hate. 1t is only
necessary TO mention the words 'Alle-
mania Germany and "Tedescho' Ger
mani to throw the average Italian into
tit of rage. The formerly admired
German empire to-day signifies every
thing that is dcspicablc and abhorrent
20 the Italian people.
This insane hatred is fostercd by
an active press propaganda. The papers
again are devoting many columns to
alleged German atrocities. and advo-
cate an Italian organization modelled
after the british Empire Union, which
aims TO drive the Germans not only out
OF all English dominions. but prac-
,ically off the face OF the earth.
"One Of the leaders OF the Italian
Parliament recently said in public
speech: The war will. Of course. have

bloodshed cannot go on forever, but
We shall continue our warfare In
bloodlcss manner after the treaty OF
peace is signed
"A reconciliation between Italy and
the central powers Is an imposshility.
The noble Italian race is not going to
stain It's honor by resumnE diplomatic
intercourse with two nations who have
proved that they are on "A lower level
than the African savages.
NO German. Austrian or Hungarian
will ever be permitted TO set his foot
on Italian soil again. and We even in
tend to make the exchange OF letters
with those Huns a crime.

the same spirit. ono German or Aus

When the Tcutons lay down their

they will find that they have become
outcasts. Ostracized and cut off from

be able TO live on the small territory
into which they will be crowded. and
they cannot cnigrate. because no coun-
try Will admit them.
In the United States and South
America they are to-day as bitterly
hated as in Italy, France. England and
Russia. This war means the end Of
the Teutonic race. In the future the
world belongs to the Anglo Saxon. the
Latin and the Slavic races unds-

Similar thoughts are expressed by
many newspapers which formerly were
decidedly pro-German and bitterly at

CHAPTER XIII.
Debacle.


The Trouble, meantime, was closing
in upon the scene of tragedy with little
less than locomotive speed. Whitaker
applied the reversing gear; then, while
the engine reversed with a heavy and
r6sentful pounding in the cylinder
heads, he began to strip off his coat.
The boat, moving forward despite the
resistance of the propeller, drove
heavily against the wreck, brOadside to
its stern. AS this happened Whitaker
leaped to the wreck just in time to
grasp the coaming and hold on against
the onslaught of a hurting comber.
Thunderings benumbed him, and he be-
gan to strangle before it passed. .
He found himself filling his lungs
with free air and fighting his way to-
ward the cabin doors through the wa
ter waist deep. In another breath he
had torn them open, wide, discovering
the woman, her head and shoulders
showing above the flood as she stood
upon a transom, near the doorway,
grasping stanchion for support Her
eyes met his, black and blank with ter
r0r. He snatched through sheer in
stinct at circular life preserver that
fOated out toward him, and simultane-
ously managed to crook an arm round
her neck.
Again the sea buried them beneath
tons of raging dark water. Green light
nings flashed before his eyes, and in
his ears there was a crashing like the
crack of doom. His head was split
ting, his heart on the point of breaking.
The wave passed on, roaring. He could
breathe. Now if ever
AS if stupefed beyond sensibility,
the woman was passive to his hand
ling and he managed somehow to drag
her from the cabin to the cockpit and
to jam the life ring over her head and
under one arm before the next wave
bore down upon them.
They came to the surface in the hol-
low Of a deep, gray sWale, fully fifty
feet from the wreck. Whitaker re-
tanned his grasp of the life-preserver
line. The woman floated easily in the

and began to pick his way toward the
Fiske dock, half running despite his
stiff ankle. But he had not gone half
the way before he pulled up with a
humping heart, startled beyond ex-
preston by a cry in the night-a cry
of wild appeal and protest ringing
clear down the wind, q voice whose
timbre was Enthusiastically that Of a
woman: aux secours! Aux secours ~
Twice it cried out. and then was
hushed as grimly as the first inco-
herent screams. No need now to guess
ut what vas towards: Whitaker was
running, needless Of his injured foot
pitching, slipping, stumbling, Ieaping-
somehow making progress.
By now the moon had lifted above
the beach high enough to aid him some
what with its waxing light; and, look
ing ahead, he could distinguish dfmly
shapes about the dock and upon it that
seemed to bear out his most cruel
fears. The power boat was passabIy
distinct, her white side showing plainly
through the tempered darkness. Mid
way down the dock he made out strug-

when the struggle on the dock ended
abruptly with the collapse Of the wom-
