FIRST WHITE BOY.
Youth Who Accompanied Columbus
Expedition I'm 1912.

Many phases OF the life of Column
bus offer mysteries that the histori-
ans have never been able to clear
away. and one student of the life of
the great explorer has come across
an incidental myster~ that has an
appealing interest. 1t relates to a
boy who accompanied the expedition
OF 1492-the only boy among it's
members, and consequently the first
white boy to set foot in America.
The contemporary accounts of the
first expedition of Columbus men
ton the boy in question only once
and that briefly. They indicate that
he was the only boy in +he expedi-
ton and they place on his young
shoulders the blame for the great
catastrophe that befell when the
Santa Maria was wrecked on the
coast Of Hayti. To be sure the story
OF the wreck shows that the boy was
less to blame than his elders, but it
was easy enough to make him the
scapegoat. 1t was the night before
Christmas, 1892, ten weeks after the
discovery of the land, and Columbus
was pushing his search for gold
among the West Indies. The flag
ship, the Santa Maria, was skirting
the coast Of Hayti, and late at night.
as the wind was light and the ship
barely moving, Columbus went to
his cabin for rest. He passed the
helm over to the captain. He, too.
soon felt the need of sleep and went
below. His successor at the tiller was
a sailor and he shortly followed the
example of the admiral and the mas
ter. Before he went he awakened
IT,. lad in question and told him to
mind the helm.
The boy did not go to sleep. He
was doubtless live lad and he felt
the Importance of being trusted to
steer ship. But he was in strange
waters and the currents were treach-
erous near that coast, says an ex-
change. The ship struck reef. The
admiral and crew rushed on deck in
terror. OF course they blamed the
boy. That was the way of the world
before 1892 and the fashion has new
er changed.
That was the end of the Santa
Maria. The crew reached the shore
in safety and made fort from the
timbers of the wreck. In that fort,
which they called La Navidad in
honor of the day, about forty of the
crew remained while their compan-
ions went home to Spain on the
Pinta and the Nina One historian
mentions tradition that the boy
remained with this number, but it is
only tradition. The fate of the
forty is mystery, for when the sec
ond expedition of Columbus reached
that island a year later there were
only few charred timbers and bone
TO be found. His name has not even
come down to us, but the brief
glimpse that we have of him is a
fascinating one. There is something
to stimulate the imagination in that
fleeting picture of the boy who stuck
to his post while his superiors slept

tae Germans were driven out on
l Eursday morning. Back of Torcy
Ci... end of field was filled with
graves where the Germans buried
The dead falling behind their lines.
Iii dugouts were tables set for last
Thursday mornings breakfast, which
the German officers had to leave hot
on the table. In a corner were three
beds and in another a pile of hand
grenades and ammunition
All along the road were individual
holes where the Germans had dug in
the hope of holding back our
troops. In every third or fourth
hole lay a dead German, who did not
retreat in time German war mater
ial lay everywhere. Among the Ger
man bodies one saw here and there
the brown which told of an Ameri-
can. All these were being buried rap
idly.
Past carnage and mute graves and
bodies marking dead German hopes
in their region, our troops were NOV
ing forward against the retreating
enemy. Wreckage of human habita-
lions and war pocked fields told of
the vigor with which Americans
make war.
While l was in (deleted) the Ger
mans began artillery preparation for
a counter attack, which precipitated q
bitter battle north of Chateau-Thier-
ry. Where all had teen quiet fif-
teen minutes before, hundreds of
shells began to come screaming over,
intended to tear up our advancing
lines. From barrages put down Just
behind our front line a few kilome-
ters away, to mixes back, areas were
reached by an intense German she'll
fire. Then our guns which had been
brought up. began to reply, their
shells whistling back as the Germans
groaned over One wondered if those
shells ever met in midair.
1t is great spectacle, this game
of war. With millions of dollars
worth Of shells coming over to inter-
rupt our advance, other millions of
bottled death are going the other way
TO get the German guns shooting our
way. In the midst of this inferno
new kind Of explosion was heard. A
German bombing machine high up
dropped seven bombs near by, hoping
to hit a strategic American point.
AS we came back twenty minutes
after the artillery duel had started
we had to go out of the road, because
of the fresh made shell holes. From
behind we heard the nasty rat-tat-
tat that told that German machine
guns were trying to check the new
attack of the boys in brown"

WASHINGTON, Oct. s. That
Americas answer to the Teutonic
peace offers would be Forthcoming to-
day, or very soon afterward, was the
indication in official quarters this
forenoon.
President Wilson has repeatedly
said he does not desire to dictate the
form of government to Germany and
Austria but, at the same time, he
has pointed out that there can be no
trust in the Observation-Disclosures
murderer-burglars. Hence, it is a
preliminary to any peace discussion
that the people of the central powers
shall be speaking rather than their
war lords shall be the mouthpieces.
The unanimity Of response of the
nation-no peace until there is an un-
conditional surrender-makes 1T GER

firm rejection of the tricky Teuton

IS STARVING
AND FILLED WITH DISEASE

Prices Of the few things that are
still to be had in Montenegro are
fantastic. A sheep or goat, which
before the war cost 81, now sells at
from $50 to 500. Potatoes that or
dinarily cost half a cent pound
now cost s120 pound. For food the
people strip the bark from trees
boil it and make it into sort of
pastry. Bones of animals are even
dug up, ground into powder and
added to this mixture OF bark and
water.
Contagious diseases have added
their toll to that of hunger. The
situation Is so bad it is openly rec
ognized. in the Austrian and German
press that, unless something Is done
Immediately, the Montenegrin race
must disappear utterly. The news
papers of the central empires de-
mand the allies be given a permit
to provision the country. Taking
advantage of this opportunity, the
Montenegrins. in agreement with
Great Britain, France and Italy, to-
gether with the American Red Cross
and various organizations, are striv-
ing to reach an agreement with Aus
tria that will save the remaining
Montenegrin people.
Competent authorities estimate
that only $4,000 tons of foodstuffs
would be sufficient.

The character of fighting along
the west front indicates the Ger
mans are preparing for what may be
general retreat from the North sea
to the Rheims region, but that they
make the Champagne-Argonne battle
one Of the decisive engagements OF
