TWO "WAR CELEBRITIES"
DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 12.-Almost over night
Paris has produced two war celebri-
ties. and it is safe to say that not
even Punch and Judy ever enjoyed
greater popularity. They are Nenette
and Rintintin.
Nenette Is a droll little woman with
a scarlet skirt. Rintintin has the same
penchant for striking colors, but
wears trousers. Both are about an
inch or two high and are made of a
few scraps of wool and silk thread.
They are inseparable, a bit of colored
worsted binding them together.
Women wear them without shame
around their necks. Men hide them
in their pockets, for they are mas
cots against air raids and the long
range gun. No one seems to know
exactly where they came from Some
say they were created by a shopgirps
active mind and clever fingers, and
that she gave them the queer pet
names of two tiny refugees from
Amiens.
The first rule to observe when ac-
quiring this wonderful couple is not
to buy them. If you do they are no
longer mascots. but hoodoos The sec
ond rule Is that they must be made
by the lady who gives them to you
or there is no telling what may hap
against shells and Gothas, but against
enemy bayonets and poison gas as
well, SO every mail is carrying thou
sands Of them to French poilus at
the front and to American soldiers,

Enlarged Governmental Powers.
From Case and Comment.


Is the present widening of the area
Of state control a mere phenomenon
Of war, or is 1t a radical change in
the relations of the government and
the individual? IF. in crisis like
that produced by the war, these new
powers are necessary to government,
will not the people demand that they
be retained when war Is ended? II
it is a good thing for the public well
fare to fix the price of fuel and food
by government edict in war time. why
not in peace time? These questions
must be answered. They will be. Not.
perhaps, as any one school of political
thinkers or prophets wants them to
be answered. but with very definite
precision will that answer be written
in the moving current of events that
is now carrying along the peoples Of
the world, hurrying them into new
modes of thought and action almost
before they are aware of it. The ma
tfons of the world will never go back
to the place where they were when
the war began. That is the answer to
the question. They may go part way
back, some of them will recede far
ther than others, but none will go
back to original conditions: for the
conditions out of which the new time
will come are being forged on the
white-hot anvil OF war, and ham,
mered with resounding strokes upon
the armor of the nations.

Should Bulgaria and Turkey continue In
their present alliance they undoubtedly
would be forced to assist. The unor-
gantzed Austrian masses would prove
but fodder for the guns of the militarists
in case of revolt at the present moment.
They might eventually win, but the price
would be fearful In the months to come.
Throughout Austria proper and in
Hungary the unrest of the people is
marked. though 1t may be taken for
granted that it cannot do much more
than hinder the activities of the pres
ent government at this time. In Aus
tria labor parties have demanded that
the government Immediately enter
into peace negotiations with the al
lies looking toward the end of the
conflict, with no annexations, no in
IDENTITIES and league to insure
peace. What reception this demand
has received is not known, but that
the fnstigators already may have
paid the punishment for their daring
Is almost certainty.
There have been strikes over the
decrease in the bread ration, which is
declared not sufficient to sustain life
owing to the shortage of fats and
other necessaries to human health
Austria has been without many kinds
Of food since the first Of April and re-
serve cereal supplies have been used

Hardships at Hands OF

THE HAGUE. Holland. May 15.-The
Rotterdamsche Handelsblad tells the
following particulars Of the torpedo
ing of the relief ship Camilla. which
it had obtained from one Of the sur
vivors, the Dutch sailor G. F. Won
krevelen:
I'VE were near Dogger's bank.
Danish coast and we had Just been
saying Eighteen hours more and then
We'll be safe and we'll in Rotterdam,
when suddenly we heard shots and
five shells fell into the sea close to
our vessel. We stopped at once and
soon saw a submarine.
Germans Came Aboard.
The second mate went in a boat
Immediately and rowed to the subma :
rine, returning with an officer and
two men. who came on our ship with
revolvers and asked where our store
room was. We showed them and they
took everything we had

1--WE were twenty-eight men) and
they would not allow us to take more
than handful of provisions with us.
Then they brought five bombs on
board. AS we sailed away we heard
several explosions, but did not see
our ship sink.
AT pm. we saw vessel approach
ing, but this must have been torpe-
doed as we'll. for we saw a great col
umn OF water spout up where it had
osen ana never saw the ship again,

that we could no longer sail. In
haste we set to repair things and
next morning we were able to hoist
sail again.
Men Of Crew Die.
That first night stavanger sailor
died and toward the evening of the
second day a ships boy That day
we tnought we saw land, but it
proved pr TO be mirage. The third
gay our water store gave out and a
oilzzard came on. The snow was
welcome enough, for we caught it in
the empty water barrel and later on
used 1t as drinking water.
Meanwhile Swedish stoker who
NAG peen drinking sea water died,
ana, as we could no longer keep the
DEAD bodies on board. we buried them
In the sea. Next day our small store
or provisions being exhausted, we
kiied the dog, which we had taken
with US from the Camilla; we ate the
flesh raw. mixing the blood with some
OF the melted snow water. That day
the donkey man died.
Another snowstorm broke over US:
the water stood high in our boat On
the sixth day we sighted land; at
first we thought 1t might be a mirage,
but 1t really was land. We half
sailed. half rowed to shore and about
IL pm. landed in the F'innaes ford.
I'VE crept ashore and slept there,
next morning creeping down to the
boat again; we could no longer walk,
our feet having been frozen. That
night our second engineer died. We
made for some houses we saw in
the distance and were soon picked
up by a small passenger steamer that
took us to Haugesund. where we
were taken to the hospital.
after five days in the hospital 1t
was found necessary to amputate
both my legs below the knees. while
one of my comrades had to have a
|. foot amputated. The people of
Haugesund and the owner of the
Camilla. w. Hanson OF Bergen, were
most kind to US. and $4,000 kronen
were collected. which will soon be
sent to Holland for u.s."

delay. and by the third day tho counter
attacks at MontelIo were proceeding
and hit by hit the high ground was
won back. Before the end of the nrSt
week of battle the Austrian gain had
been turned into nothing more seri-
Gus than a huge bridgehead. and
thereafter the food in the Piavs

prived the Austrians. who had crossed
on various military bridges, OF all
communications with their rear.
1t would be unfair to ascribe the
italian victory to the floods. The
Austrian advance had been checked

rose. but 1t was the flood which set

Such. in brief. is the story Of the
battle Of the Piave.
No reports suggest that the Aus
trians did not put up stin nght or
that the Italians had an immediate
and easy triumph. The first days OF
fighting We're exceedingly severe and
the Austrians seem to have shown un-
usual contempt for losses and unex-
pected tenacity. They were beaten
only because Italian morale was even
higher. Italian high command fully
prepared and Italian numbers equal TO
all demands. There was no submerg-
ing of any sector. such as has become
familiar in German attacks in France.
Italian reserves were ready to inter-
vene before the forwa rds had been
abolished. The familiar trench war

This extremely Indifferent attitude

Berlin. Public men have denounced
the attitude Of Germany and cited
many instances when Germany has

has left the latter to suffer. Through

AS the new week dawns a
cloud of mystery overhangs
Russia. Have the hated bolshe-
Wiki leaders, Lenine and Trotz-
ky, been overthrown? Are
events of the day but foreshad-
owing the complete rejuvenation
and rehabilitation of the nation ?
Is Russia to cast off the damn
ing influence of Germany and
emerge with a stable, efficient,
patriotic government? These
are but few of the questions that
have arisen as the result of the
reports which have emanated
from Slavland in the past forty
hight hours.
The news that Lenine and Trotzky
have been overthrown remains un-
confirmed, but If it is true they are but
reaping the harvest from the grain
which they have sown. Former
Grand Duke Nicholas, it is reported,
has been proclaimed emperor. On the
other hand, it Is declared that kale-
dimes and korniloff, both of whom
have been reported dead for some
time. have captured Moscow with the
assistance of German troops. In ST.
beris Grand Duke Michael Alexandra
witch is declared to have proclaimed a
new government. while DR.. Paul Mi
luloff, constitutional democrat, and
Alexander J. Guchhoff, likewise, have
announced a counter revolutionary
movement in the far eastern regions
Of Siberia.
Out of the maze of contradictions
which have emanated some cardinal
facts must be borne in mind. Even
II the bolsheviki have not been over
thrown and their black power forever
wiped out, the news of recent hours
but emphasizes the great unrest
throughout Russia and slow crystal
lization OF the belief that Russia s
sores must be cured by new hands
and new medicines; that the bolshe-
Wiki are pretty surely definitely dis
credited: that it Is only a question of
time before the many disorganized
