y SYDNEY, Nov. 5.-A farmer driv-
ing a tlivver by moonlight along a
Trough country road in. the .Dismore
district of New South Wales had the
zunenviable distinction of being
3-chased by a pack of huge dingoes.
eThe dingo is one Of the few maraud-
ing animals Australia possesses, and
seldom turns its attacks on man,
preferring the "discretion-is- the bet
ster-part -of-valor" theory by feasting
on defenseless young lambs and
calves. The onward march Of settle
ment has thinned their numbers, but
they sometimes make their appear

1t was one such union that the
farmer in the flivver met. He had

about twenty miles from his home.
land was driving through rough coun-
try, when, topping a rise, he saw
strange forms sinking in the shad-
lows and then recognizing two or
three dingoes running in the glare

was led by a fierce half breed dog.
which, unequalled in cunning, has
led forays on settlers stock for three
years, and has outwitted the men
who have warred against him.
The pack drove at the car. leaping
on the footboards. They were jolted
off, but Immediately set off in stern
chase. The driver at first leased the
animals by alternately increasing
and slackening speed, but fearing
his engine might fail, he stepped on
the gas. So did the dingoes.
The road was a mere bush track.

leader. The farmers neighbors were
inclined to put his tale down as the

but huge scratches on the paint of
his car, and similar wounds on his
hands proved how near the pack of
dingoes had gone to tasting their
first human meat.

The giant submarine We returned to

depth for vessels of her class. Her
commanding officer reported that the
submersion test conducted off Prov
incetown yesterday had been extreme

handled perfectly. The only casualty
was a burst pipe, which cola psed un-
der the heavy pressure.
This was Lieut.. Comdr. George A.

made a.Quick dive of so feet, adjusted
the ballast and went to 40 feet, where
the ballast again was adjusted, This
was necessary on account of the COM
preston of the water against the hull,
which decreased the buoyancy of the
ship and was the equivalent of max
ing it heavier. ~..-...
"Then the vessel went to els feet,

a few of the officers and men, r88 in

NEW FREER OPERA

Chicago, Pl-A pretty Alaskan legend. portrayed by Chilkoot Maiden of Skagway, the flower city the new and third one-act opera of Eleanor Everest Freer, which has just been finished. Like her other works, "The Chilkoot Maiden" is in English in the furtherance of Mrs. Freer's lifelong effort to establish opera in that language.
 Several passages In the "Chilkoot Maiden" suggest the Indian music, but largely the score is from Mrs. Freer's own resources. A recent set of modern dances' is the vehicle for bevy of waitresses in an Alas kan dance hall, frequented by a party of young English and Ameri- can surveyors.
 One of these, Ralph, falls in love with Skugway, the beautiful young Alaskan girl, who has had quarrel with her native sweetheart. The Thlingit tradition says that every time a white man crossed the sum- init of what is known now as White Pass, the warm breath of a Chinook wind melted the snow and caused disastrous avalanche. The Chinook maiden warns her English sweet heart of this Indian tradition in time to save the party of white men, as she vanishes to rejoin her native companions.
 Mrs. Freer believes it is the first Alaskan opera.
