AUSTRIAN PRISONERS
A SORRY LOT

WITHOUT SPIRIT.

strong, well spiked shoes, but these
they claim they made themselves or
bought Their clothes, however, are
falling apart, having been patched
frequently. Most of them have mere
rags for shirts.
The majority of the prisoners have
money, but it is either in paper bills
or iron coin. The most of them wear
medals for valor, some of them hav-
ing two or three of them, but these
decorations are of base metal and
none are of gold or silver. One is
stamped with likeness of Empress
Zita and encircled with laurel
wreaths and is made of zinc compo-
sition. The prisoners part readily
with these medals, saying they have
no pride in them, for few pennies
of Italian money. Most of the cap
trred men are young and light haired
and generally have bad teeth.
The Italian soldiers tell humorous
stories of captures effected by per-
suading the Austrians that they will
be well fed. One Italian officer who
had been wounded and picked up by
a group of Austrians who intended
to make him prisoner, explained how
foolish they were. He said:
Come with me and you will get
meat, wine and real bread"
Thereupon the whole party went
over to the Italian lines.
1t is also said that at the begin
ming of the offensive the Austrians
in the front line each received three
rations of meat, one for each day of
the attack, until they reached the
Italian stores. They were so hungry,
however, that they ate all the first
day.
During his tour the correspondent
talked to an Austrian prisoner, a
member of a manufacturing firm
with offices in all the great world
centers including New York.
II have been fighting for 40
months" said this man, first on the
Russian front, where l had an easy
time, and now here, where the Ital-
ians are making things too hot for
us. There is no food for the people
of Austria and next to none for the
army. / had but a few pieces of
bread and potatoes before the fight
and since the fight began l have had
none.
THE army cannot last more than
a couple of months at the best.
There are no good officers left. We
have plenty of ammunition, but no
one to use 1t properly"
The Italian losses were compare
lively small, while to the known Aus
trian losses will have to be added
the many Austrian dead, which still
cucumber the wooded mountain
sides.
1t is still too early to predict that
the Austrians will not come back
with further effort, but it is clear
that in their SO far futile push they
underestimated the Italians, both as
regards their morale and general
fighting efficiency.

The gas-cloud, the bayonet thrust,

familiar story of the "Light that Fail

combatants whose blindness will ever
through their lives prove a poignant
sacrifice is one who almost miraculous

announced his intention of going back
to the trenches.
1t was in the fierce fighting before
Gallipoli in 1915 that Thomas Skey-
hill, a signaler in the Anzac forces.
was instantly blinded by the blast of
an exploding shell. Months of service
had given Skeyhill q deep insight into

Recently he left Australia, where
his name had become a household
word, to come to America for a series
of lectures in the interests of the Red

had been afflicted with violent head
aches for more than a month. In San
Francisco he had been obliged to go to
a hospital, In Reno he had bled nearly
to death with hemorrhages, and In
Washington he suffered greatly from
pains in his neck.
When His Sight Returned.
A Washington specialist found that
the vertebrae at the base Of Skeyhill's
neck had been dislocated in three
places, presumably by the shock that
had blinded him. A simple operation
was undertaken, and as the vertebrae
were snapped back into position the
sight returned to the soldiers eyes.
AS the realization came to Skeyhill
that the darkness that had hung over
him for more than two years had been
dispelled, he became seized with an
ecstatic Joy that nearly unhinged his
mind. His mind became q blank con-
corning the years that had elapsed
since his injury, and he imagined him
