HORN STORY READS LIKE
PAPER-BACKED THRILLER
Arped Horn Have Been
Made Public.
ESCAPES FROM 1NTERNNIEN1
Gets Out Of Prison Camp by Hiding
in Drainage Hole; Then Calmly
Makes His Way to London, Still
CARRIED In Gray.

LONDON. September 1.-The story OF
the capture of Lieutenant Arped Horn,
the Austrian officer who escaped from
internment at bennington Hall. has just
become known. 1t reads like a paper
back thriller.
He got out of the prison camp by
the simple russo of hiding in a hole
made for drainage purposes in the
day compound"-when the prisoners
went in for the night. trusting that
he and two fellow-fugitives would not
be missed until evening roll call.
Two OF them were caught almost at
once. but Lieutenant Horn succeeded
In reaching London-still clad in his
gray uniform. He then calmly went
into a tailor's shop and stated that he
was a Serbian officer. His tale was
believed, and he obtained a civilian
suit. a.s,
British detectives. however, are not
easily bafted. and the tracing of the
pseudo-Serbian officer shows the clev-
erness OF the Scotland Yard authori-
ties. They found he had reached Lon
don. but know nothing of his where
abouts. and 1t was decided to scruiti-
nizc the register OF every hotel.
A missing &c" scaled the fate of the
fugitive, for In one hotel book an ordi-
nary English surname was found pre-
faced by the name OF '"Georg"-which
is the German for George"
The detectives determined to see
George" and waited in his room, meet
ing him on his return from a theater
he had been visiting. They were not
disappointed. for he was the wanted
man.
One of tho most amusing points of
the story is tho way in which tho Aus
trian took his defeat. Smiling. he
greeted his captors, saying that he
could not possibly have got home to
Austria. and as he had exhausted his
funds he was about to give himself up
in any case.
II have had n splendid time" he re-
marked. land have visited many thea
ters and restaurants" He appears to
have regarded his temporary absence
from bennington Hall as kind of leave
or holiday.

Country Hardest Hit by
War, Except Those
ctually in the
Conflict.

NEW YORK, September 1.-Unfor-
tunate Spain-a few citizens fabulously
enriched and the mass OF the popu-
lation bitterly impoverished by the
war. her banks so surfeited with gold
that the yellow metal is at a discount,
and her people mostly going without
sufficient to eat-seems to keep inter-
national observers here on the brink
Of plunging into state OF disorderly
turmoil much like that recently wit
messed in Russia.
The sanguinary events OF the world
war distract attention from King
Alfonso NILS country. But history
is being made there, which in normal
times would fill the front pages of
the newspapers and be the principal
topic OF discussion here from the tea
table to the Cabinet room.
Spain Is probably the hardest hit by
the war OF all the nations except
those actually in the conflict. In the
early part Of the war the agitation
between pro-ally and pro German
groups was looked upon as a possible
source of trouble. but this interna-
tional question Is now overshndowed
by multitude of internal maladies,
any one OF which would ordinarily be
considered of major Importance.
ATHLETIC YOUNG KING
LOSES POPULARITY
Alfonso, the athletic young King.
has lost his former popularity. He
Is missed In the theater and -tays away
from polo games because of anticipated
disagreeable hostile demonstrations.
This Is because he is blamed for the
series OF impotent governments which
battle weekly and Intellectually against
the nations multiplying difficulties.
But Alfonso is no Kaiser. He Is as
much at the mercy of the conflicting
political currents as his subjects.
However. it is the prerogative of a
Kings subjects to blame him for every
thing that happens
Mail dispatches received here de-
scribe the labor disorders in Spanish
cities. which have resulted in several
hundred deaths, as likely to increase,
rather than diminish. Perhaps this
Is the most serious of the dangers
threatening Alfonso to-day.
The radical workmen, to be COM
pared with the Bolsheviki of Petro-
grad, are pursuing course of sabo-
tage and destruction in an effort to
intimidate the authorities. But the
outbreaks in different cities appear to
have little connection and the move
ment is not Well organized.
Whatever power the workingmen's
revolution has arises from the fact
that 1t costs two and q half times as

KNITTING KITS FOR SAILORS
Uncle Sam Has Issued Designs and In
struotions for Sleeveless Jackets,
Mufflers and Wristlets.

OF course, you win knit a kit for one
of our sailors2 Uncle Sam is fitting
out his new recruits as completely and
as rapidly as possible in these days of
tremendous needs, but to these, as to
the men already in service, he can give
only the ordinary and necessary cloth
ing. Anything extra in the way Of
comfort must be furnished by the home

mosphere to the very marrow Of ones
bones. Our sailor lads, on severe duty
these days, need better protection than
has been given them heretofore, and,
.on their behalf, the government has
issued designs and Instructions for
sailors kit" consisting Of a sleeveless
jacket, a muffier and wristlets.
These kits must be uniform, Of
course, and must be made according to
instructions both as to color and work
manship. TO insure this, they are in
spected before being issued to the sail
ors. But anybody who knows anything
about knitting can easily follow the in
structions given and fortunately this
charmingly old-fashloned work is still
widely enough known to have a devo-

derstand the instructions and teach
the art to others.
Thousands Of these kits are need

try has gone to knitting. We knit
while we are planning for whatever
more serious war work we are to un-
dertake. Young and old among us,
rich and poor, busy women or those
OF leisure, we all are knitting.

shark Fishing Arabian Industry.

Shark fishing is quite an industry
among the Arab fishermen of Alden.
The best grounds are between Alden
and Shukra an Arabian port about
eleven miles east Of Alden, writes Con-
sui Southard from Alden, Arabia. There
are also good shark fishing grounds at
Mnkalla, another Arabian port some
distance beyond Shukra. Shark fisher
men also have good luck at most places
along the British Somaliland coast.
The usual fishing vessel is the typical
Arab sailing dhow Both nets and
hooks are used in fishing. The nets
are very strongly woven, the best ones
coming from the Persian Gulf, and are
from 100 to 100 feet in length and
about % feet wide. Sharks from to
z feet in length are usually caught in
the nets, while hooks are used for the
capture Of larger sizes. Fishing with
hooks is often done from small boats
and requires considerable courage, as
a large fish will sometimes overturn
the boat and throw the occupants into
the water, where they have more than
an even chance of being attacked by
other sharks.

SPEAKER
TELLS BOYS Of
MORALITY REWARD

Before a large crowd of boys and
young men, Mrs. Jennie Sharpless
last night delivered a lecture on
Character Building" The meeting
was opened by five little boys who
sang "Bighten the Corner" This
ends the series of public meetings of
Mrs. Sharpless in Pensacola. She
will leave shortly for New Orleans,
where she will continue the work of
her organization.
Taking the theme, "Why 1 Should
be a Moral Man." Mrs. Sharpless said
last night:
Morality pays dividends in life
where immortality pays dividends in
death.
One has but to look about upon
the crowd of passing men and women
and upon injured and cheated little
children to realize this truth.
There is more than one thing IN
the world which at the last biteth like
a serpent and stjngeth ike an adder.
Evil living, mental and physical err
ror, leaves behind a trail of hOrrid
demons that continuously cry out in
insatiate hungry rage, whose pam
pering must lead to final extinction,
after fearful suffering.
Moral life is the sane life. 1t tends
to bring peace and comfort, salts
faction and self-respect, the measure
Of happiness that it deserves. 1t Is
best, not because self-interest may
prompt, not merely because 1t insures
the preservation of bodily health and
| not because it brings the respect of
others, but because it is right; be-
cause it helps others to live better
We may not think that the fashion
Of our lives is important to others
/ but it is so; we have a vita. inflr-
ence for good or Ill on those with
whom we come in contact.
Morality means clean living anC
/ clean thinking. And the men anC
J women who so live are possessed Of
