where the young artist painted his
pictures. That very night Hoadley's
henchman was murdered and the fin

THAT these men were not killed
may be counted almost Miraculous
declared Judge Haywood. AS they
passed Obed's the proceeding day
they discovered fire which in
duced them to push forward about
fourteen miles, and turning off the
road they lay all night without fire,
believing they would be followed
by the Indians, The next morning
they kept the woods for four miles
before striking the road, and find
ing no sign Of the enemy they
pursued their route: proceeding
about half mile they found them
selves surrounded by savages who
were close to them. The Indians all
fired while some of them in addition
hurled their tomahawes. They
each escaped injury except Russell
who was wounded. The ball which
struck him was turned in it's course
by a large metal button or it would
have passed through the most vital
part of his body The trio reached
the block house at West Point
where Russell was placed under the
care of surgeon.

CABINET DISCUSSES
ITALIAN SITUATION
MILITARY ASPECTS AND ExTEN
SION OF AID cONSiDEREo-No
GREAT APPREHENSION.

Washington.-The Italian situation
Wilson and his advisors at a cabinet
meeting, the discussion touching i'm
mediate military aspects and the ex-
tension of assistance by the allies.
Furnishing of supplies, especially
coal, badly needed for Italian NUM-
ton factories, is said to be regarded
as this country's particular sphere of
immediate action.
Although the administration shares
regret and concern over initial sue
cess of the Teutonic drive, high ofTi
ciaIs here are said to utterly reject
the opinion, advanced in some quar-
ters, that events in Italy can become
decisive of the war or even an import
ant turning point. 1t is felt that set
backs ia Italy will act as a spur rath-
er than a encouragement, both upon
Italy and the other allies. There is
no apprehension that Italy will break
down or weaken in adherence to the
common cause against Germany
Further advices concerning the re-
treat are anxiously awaited in official
and diplomatic quarters. Army Off
GERS as well as officials of the Italian
embassy appear to be entirely conf
dent that Gen. Cadorna will be able
to hold the Teutonic forces in check,
Word that the British artillerymen
with the Italian army had brought
their guns through the retirement
without the loss of battery was wei
coined as indicating that Gen. Cador-
mas men were holding their organi-
cation in the face of the smashing
Austro-German assaults. The British
guns are all "heavies," big pieces that
it takes time to withdraw. II all Of
them have been saved, American Of
ficers think there is every reason to
believe that much Of the Italian ar
tillery vital to defense in a final stand
also has been brought back.
Reports are taken to indicate that
the artillery losses of the Italians.
claimed by the Germans to be enol>
mous, comprise smaller pieces and
mountain guns. On the new line, laid
out years ago as the Italian defensive
front, there are emplacements, char
ted ranges and other factors which
will aid in stenming the tide of the
enemy advance. The British big guns
will become doubly useful there.

time shlpwrecked and drifted to a
tropical island, says the indianapolis
News. After landing on the island his
friend began to investigate, and made
his way inland, in search Of signs OF
habitatIon, proceeding cautiously. fear
ing he would meet cannibals. He wan
0ered around until almost famishedi
when suddenly he discovered a fire In
the distance. He hid himself until
dark. when he crept near enough to
heor voices. He listened for some
time. but could not make out what
was said. Suddenly the voices grew
louder and an argument arose between
the men around the fire. One excialm-

Jerking the arm of Sammy. The khaki
