Famished Prisoner. slay
and Eat Horses ON
Road to Trent
Italians Are Kind
Captors Give Up Rations to
Prevent Starving Of
Conquered

WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY AT
TRENT. Wednesday, Nov. (By The As
sociated Press).--Amid the rejoicings
of this redeemed city scenes of destruc-
ton and starvation are common on the
roads over which the Italian troops are
trying to pass the thousands of Aus
trian prisoners who were cut off by the
Italians southwest Of Balzeno. Every
road is crowded with men and on every
hand there are evidences of the collapse
Of one Of Europe's mighticst armies.
The horrors of Napoleon's retreat
from Russia, it is said bv military OBJ
servers, were trifling compared with the
suffering Of the Austrian troops in this
region. Great masses o men wait for
long hours to move few feet or a few
hundred yards, to halt anew on road
Uttered with the carcasses of horses
and with cannon, pieces of SHE ids.
pistols rifles, broken down auto trucks
and machine guns.
lhere is no swearing among these
men. There are even moments Of pro-
foundest quiet, broken by snatches Of
songs. Italian soldiers seem positively v
sorry that the end of the war is ap-
preaching. They say: whats u few
months more, now that we are sure Of
victory?"
Austrians Die of Fatigue
Many Austrians are dying from sheer
fatigue and starvation, and not wounds.
The Italians are doing all they can to
hurry up food supplies. This is diff
flcult and in the meantime dead horses
are eaten, the flesh being cooked by
the roadside on fires kindled by the
soldiers.
Large bodies of Austrians are help
less. The correspondent passed be-
tween Rovereto and Trent, distance
Of sixteen miles, an unendng column
OF men marching, none knew whittier.
They asked orders from an officer who
was with the correspondent. When
asked if they knew about the armis-
tice. they said:
I'VE want food. Fcod is the only
thing we are interested in"
Strange tales are told of the exploits
Of Italian prisoners returning home.
Above Trent group of Italian pris-
oners broke out and ordered the chauf-
feur of truck to drive them to the
Italian lines, and the man obeyed.
Another Italian prisoner, mounted on
horseback at the head Of a regiment
Of Austrians, announced smilingly:
These are my captives."
Nine Enemy Divisions Taken
1t is estimated that nine Austrian
divisions were taken, with their staffs
Thirty nine divisions were partially
disorganized, and fifteen, although in
bad condition, are retreating from the
advancing Italians. These troops
while equipped for their retreat. are
without orders and go travelling here
and there like droves of sheep. 1t is a
common thing to see an entire brigade
without officers, the latter having been
| ordered to 20 separately to the con-
centration camps.

vision motoring along in his own car

First Complete
Story Of Seizure
and Disclosure
Of Famous Spy
Plot Papers Of
Dr.. Albert
rERE is the first complete story

~rERE is the first complete story
~ Of the seizure and disclosure OF
j \ the famous papers of Dr.. Helm
.;.b Albert, which convicted Germany
n its huge spy plot against the neu-
.,olitv OF the United States.
n shows that in 1915 there was ex-
,,tlv the same sort of competition and
lax Of cooperation between various
dspsrtments of the government which
exists to-day.
Dr.. Albert, Privy Counsellor and fs-
.sl agent Of the German Empire, came
% America in 1915. His blind was the
csrran Red Cross. But while he was
supposed to be giving his exclusive at
,antion to its management he was
actually superintending-under Won
BernstorfF-the practical execution of
the German propaganda in America.
He spent at least $4,000 600, probably
great deal more, for everything. from
eThe Fatherland" to bomb plots--lies
bribery, conspiracy, sedition-all in
the sign of the Red Cross.
Albert Exposed Through
Trailing of Viereck
His exposure occurred through the
trailing OF George Sylvester Viereck by
the Secret Service of the Treasury De-
partment, then under Chief William J.
Flynn. Two operatives were waiting
for him outside 1923 Broadway. With
Viereck came an unknown" who was
connected, the operatives knew, with
the German Red Cross.
One of the operatives was destined
10 learn the mans name that day, and
in most unexpected manner. This
operative is now head of one of the
local divisions of the secret service
Captain Frank Burke.
One operative fastened on each man.
Burke got Albert. Presently Burke
found himself in a cross seat of o
Sixth Avenue al" train, across the
aisle from Albert and feigning a little
rap. Between Albert and the window
was yellow brief case.
Albert Leaves Case
In Car; Burke Gets 1t
At Fiftieth Street Albert arose hur-
Nadlv and left the car-and his brief
case. As the car started the German
discovered his loss and Burke evoke
up."
At the Fifty-third Street station
burke left the car with Albert's brief
case under his arm. He ducked into

'i astonishment, showed the contents
