rule has reduced Russia is thus eplto-
mized by Russian nobleWoman Vide
" known throughout her country, IN a
remarkable picture of events IN hef
country contained in letter received
recently in New York. Her castles
and estates plundered or RACED, her
fortune vanished and her friends ana

band died, he having caught cold IN
the trenches Then | was in despair;

A graphic tale of the misery that
spreads itself over Russia is unfolded
in the letter. Wholesale plllaglnS ana

HUN HIDES 4 YEThs.
Conceals Self in New Guinea LIN.
gle During War.

Konrad Detzler, German army en-
glneer who had been hiding In the New
Guinea jungle since the beginning Of
the war, has come back to civilization
and now is In an internment camp in
Australia. Detzler's story Is on par
with other romantic incidents Of the
war as 1t affected the South sea.
Detzler holds captains commission.
When the war began he was surveying
the boundary line between the then
Kaiser Wilhelmland. or German New
Guinea, and Papua, or British New
Guinea. He decamped into the bush.
This was risky act, for the bushmen
prefer human flesh above all other
kinds. When an Australian force oc-
cupied Kaiser Wilhelmland Detzler
was overlooked.
For more than four years Detzler
lived In the bush near Mismis. He
had a shotgun, but 1t was not long e
fore he ran out of cartridges. There
after he lived on yams, taro and kau
"a variety of sweet potato) in common
with the natives, and upon birds and
animals which he caught by means Of
snares.
Several times the Australians search
ed for him, but Detzler managed TO
elude them. He might have stayed
indefinitely in the jungle, but mission
aries told the Papuans of the armlstice
and they in turn told him. Thereupon
he surrendered to the nearest Austria
ian officer. While living throughout
the war at Mismis. Detzler wore only
q lava lava (native kilt. The result
Is that he is almost as brown as a
Papuan. He now wears German
uniform.
