PAGE EIGHT TALIANS STEAL PLANE AND FLEE Irredentists Face Many Perils in | ‘ Remarkable Escape From Austria. ANEW NOTHING OF AVIATION Go About Plans So Coolly That Officers | Believe They Are Going on Mis- sion Under Orders From Some One Higher Up. By UGO MAROCCO-BONGHi. (8pecial Correspondence of the TItalian- American News Bureau, Chicago.) Rome.—One bright morning of the gummer just ending an enemy hydro- plane bearing the black cross of Aus- tria appeared in the heavens over | The anti-alrcraft batteries prepared to shoot. The seaplane alighted on the shore at . Soon after it was known that the pilot and kis com- panion were both Irredentists who hafl fed from Austria. The two had come from the island of Lussin, at the entrance of the Gulf of Quaranero, opposite the shores of and of The pilot—I cannot give his name —told me about their escape. “From the outbreak of the war” he said, “my companion and I had beeg joined with others from Irreden- ta at the aviation station of Lussin is- tand as motormen. The life had be- come insupportable.. Seeing that every aneans of flight would be impos- sible we decided, since neither of us was skilled in aviation, to risk flight Ir & hydroplane. “There was nothing ta do but ® get ready and trust to God. The night of July 1 we went-to bed with all our clothes on at midnight, without at- tracting notice. At five in the morn- Ing we ran under the shadows of the wall from our quarters toward the hangar, where the sentinel paced his beat. Prepare for Flight. “Hntering the hangar coolly, as if we were golng to carry out orders, we dismantled the planes attached to the station of their guns and placed them in the apparatus destined for es- cape. “After locking the telephone opera- tor in his cabin, we opened the heavy doors of the hangar. Immediate flight and tested the eyiine ders. “When all was ready we whispered | that there was nothing left but to take the risk. . “My comrade looked about. Nohody was near. He cut the telephone wires while I, with a strong push against the levers, sld the apparatus out on the sean. We mounted the plane, which was soon blown by a gust of wind in ! front of the Austrian barracks, the | bow pointed toward the shore, It took | us an anxious hour to turn it toward | the open sea. Finally we started the motors, but with an explosion and a rumble that would awaken even the dead. “The officers, the commandant and the soldiers of the station appeared at the windows of the barracks and watched us with surprise, but with- out suspicion, as we took our mysteri- ous leave, no doubt thinking we had secret orders from some one higher up. “For several yavds the hydroplane glided along the surface of the wa- ter, unwiliing to rise a second time, apparently, before the wind which blew from hehind, and possibly on ac- count of the new pilot, who was as in- experienced as he was audacious., At last, however, we succeeded in rising from the sen. Face Many Perils, “While we were intent on our man- euvers we found ourselves suddenly opposite Mount™ Veli-Strasa, where the Austrizns have anti-aireraft batteries. We made a terrific effort, with the bow pointed upward and our souls commended to God. “We crossed the ridge of the moun- tain not ten yards above the batteries on its summit. “After half an hour of flight, rising to 1,000 meters, we ran into a thick cloud bank which shut off all view of the Austrian and Italian coasts and of the sen. We could not find our way. Moreover, the pilot was without hel- met or gigsses and could not steer be- cause his eyes filled with tears. We guffered an attack of nerves, All the while the apparatus was following the Ttaliun const and, discéovering this, we recovered our calm in an instant. “My comrade, who was acting as lookout, tied a white cloth to a gun barrel and tried to signal the shore our surrender. We soon alighted and entered the port of ——, amid the cheers of the people, who were Jubilant when they found that we were friends, instead of prisoners of war.” KILLS WOLVES; BUYS STAMPS Wisconsin’s Champion Hunter lLvests Proceeds of One Day’s Suw- cessful Hunt.

IS GUEST QOF PRINGE American Engineer Takes Lunch, Seated on Throne. Private in Pacific Coast Regiment Has Remarkable Experience in Monaco. Somewhere in France—~Sitting on a real ruler's throne was the unusnal experience of an American private sol- dier—William Williamson, a_member of a Pacific coast engineer regiment— during his recent seven-day furlough. The throne was that of the prince of Meonaco. Williamson elected to spend his va- cation on the shores of the Mediter- ranean, After visiting Marseilles, Nice and other southern France re- sorts, he went to Monte Carlo. Find- ing the gaming table denied to sol- { dicrs in uniform he went to view the palace, Swiss guards at the gate re- fused to allow him to enter. Later, at a cafe he got to talking with ‘a Monacoan who spoke good { English and proved to have an ac- :quflln(unre with millionaire American yachtsmen, Williamson told him of his futile attempt to enter the palace. The Monacoan offered to introduce { the palace. He had no trouble in get- | ting in this time. Arriving at the | throne chamber the “simple soldat Americaln” was almost overcomw with the splendor of the room. He received another shock when his host invited him to mount the throne, Afte er he had become comfortably seate¢ { luncheon was served. Couparing his feast on the throne chair o the many times he had stood at the tail end of a line of 250 men with n mess kit to get his share of ba- con and hash, Wifliamson was prompt: ed to remark: “It must be very fine to be a prince.” L AR SRR A S SR AR A SR 3R INITIALS OF ALLIES IN BABY’S NAME Kirkwood, Ga,—The big war has resulted in the coining of a new name.

Among the passengers are always to be found a dozen or more Italians who have been 4n America, and even a few who claim American citizenship or who have perhaps taken out their first papers. Every man on the train receives from the Red Cross man a package of American cigarets and a small American flag, and the pleasure which they derive from the flag is hard to overstate.
