TAKE AUSTRIAN FLEET

' Paris. November s-(Britishs Wireless seryice.)-It was not Austria who aban- doned her fleet to the Jugo-Slavs, but the Jugo- slavs, rising in revolt, who took, possession of the Austro-H -Hunga- rian warships, according to the authori- tatiye statement here today.

Two German machines were reported brought down. Three American planes are missing.
 The aviators report regarding the re- treat of the enemy east of the Mouse is as follows:
 At Remoiville a troop train of 10 cars was leaving, northward bound We saw great crowds of enemy troops along the railway siding. We fired upon them and they fired back with incendiary bullets. All northbound roads out of Remoiville were filled with troops"
 According to previous reports at least four Austro-Hungariah < divisions were opposing the French and Amtricans east of the Mouse in this sector.
 German artillery east of the Mouse, protected by hills and. woods beyond Lyon -Devant- Dun, had been a source of constant annoyance to the Americans since they reached the great elbow in the river north of pannevoux. The ad- vance of the Americans Saturday made possible the bringing up of artillery and the American guns this afternoon began counter battery work. Soon afterward the German artillery desisted. Numerous enemy batteries in- the re- zion of Fontaines was under American l fire most of the afternoon. Later came reports of the aviators that Ithe enemy appeared to be in full re- treat.

A drowning accident was narrowly
averted at the Mill Lake, Enniskillen,
by the plucky action of Miss Gertrude
Willis, governess. Two men were
amusing themselves on the ice, and
one of them was about 80 yards from
the shore when the ice broke. His
comrade endeavored to rescue the
man, but also got into difficulties
The water is about twenty feet deep
where the mishap occurred, and the
men were in imminent danger of
drowning, as swimming was imposs-
ible. Fortunately Miss Willis observed
their plight, and pluckily went to
their assistance. She had to crawl
over thin ice for a considerable dis
lance before she got close enough to
use her long scarf as lifeline. One
of the men managed to catch the end
of the scarf and held his comrade
while Miss Willis dragged them to a
place where they were able to scram-
BILE onto firm ice.

FATHER 1UH ACTING BISHOP.

st. Cloud Journal-Press: Rev. Jo-
seph Buh has been appointed acting
bishop of the diocese of Duluth, filling
the post vacated through the death of
Bishop James McGolrick.
Rev. Buh is we'll known in this por-
ton of the state. He was one of the
early missionaries of Morrison and
Benton counties and experienced the
trials and hardships of the frontier
life among the Indians with Father
Pierz, the first missionary in this Sec
tion.
The now acting bishop of Duluth
was pastor of the parish at Belle Prai-
RE in 1869 when several missions were
opened in Stearns county. One of
these missions was at st. Stephen, bet
ter known as Brockway. This mission
was visited by Rev. Buh. Organiza-
ton of a parish there was perfected in
1870 on the 22d day of February. Work
on the construction of a church was
begun Immediately. The building was
a log and frame structure go by 30
feet and with fixtures was worth about
$4,000; it was dedicated April %, 1871.
Father Buh continued to visit the mis-
sion until 1875, when the Fathers of
st. Louis Abbey took charge of it,
Since that time Father Buh has had
charge of parishes in the northern part
of the state and has always exerted
his energy in the cause of his faith,
toiling faithfully wherever he went,
as missionary to the people ignorant
of Christianity.
