After five weeks of terrible hardship
he managed to reach the Lake Of Con-
stance, between Friedrlchshafen and
Lindau. Hiding in the dense woods on
the shore. he started to build a boat
from plank and branches of trees and
willows. AS he had no. nails and no
tools except Jacknife. the work was
very tedious.
After three weeks. during which he
lived from roots and berries. the frail
craft was at last finished. but would
not carry him. The fugitive had al
most given up hope Of ever getting
across the lake when he met a fisher
mans boy, who offered to procure four
large tin cans for him to keep his boat
aloat.
AT last. in dark and stormy night.
he set out upon the lake, risking his
life. Twice his boat capsized, but 1t
did not sink. and when tho sun rose
in the morning he landed near Ror-
chach almost exhausted. He was taken
In charge by the coast guard and sent
to hospital, whore he recovered
quickly. Later he was transferred to
camp where thousands of other
escaped Russian prisoners are informed
until the war ends.

GIRL BIGAMIST ARRESTED
Fatal Fascination for English Omcers
Causes Elan Smith to "AIarry"

SALISBURY. ENGLAND. August A.
Fatal fascination for His Majesty's
army officers resulted in Queenie Elsa
Smith being held on charge of
bigamy. Although only nineteen years
of age, the girl, who lives in Bristol,
married" three officers.
1t was stated that she married a
lieutenant at Salisbury. and later went
through n form Of marriage with an
other officer at Romford. Since then,
the police believe. she has married a
third officer. Her counsel admitted
this, but said that the third marriage
was legal. as the result OF what had
transpired with the first marriage.
A solicitor. however. representing
the third officer. said he would not
admit that. They had reason to be-
lieve that the third was not the legal
husband. 1t was said that the girl
protested her love to the officers, and
threatened suicide II they did not

EXPLAINS CHANGE OF PLAN
Munich Paper Says Successful Russian
Revolution Rids Germany of
Danger From Poland.

MUNICH. August 4.-The Muenchener
Neueste Nachrichten explains why the
central powers have changed their
policy in regard to Poland and now do
not want to appoint King. or even
a regent. for the conquered country.
The Russian revolution and the gem
eral war situation have changed the
Polish question completely" the paper
says. IF the war ends by a COM
promise on the basis OF the Russian
formula. no annexations and no in
IDENTITIES Poland will have to be
evacuated by the German and Austro-
Hungarian troops. In this case the
Polish nation will decide by plebiscite
whether the country shall be a mon
archy or a republic. and whether it
shall attach itself to the central powers
or to Russia. 1t is immaterial what
decision is reached, because Poland
will become wholly or semiindepen
dent buffer state In any event. Even
II the country decides upon republi-
can form of government and sides with
Russia. the central powers will not lose
anything, because the Russian repub-
lie is no danger to them, and will not
threaten them again, as the aggressive
policy Of CARBON always has DONE
Germany and Austria Hungary can
well afford to let the Polish question
rest until the peace negotiations be-
gin. To appoint a King or regent for
Poland now could only lessen the
peace prospects"
