Frederick C. l enhcld, former am

recent statement, declared strongly
in approval of President Wilson's
reply to the Austrian peace plea.
, The former ambassador declared
- that Lmperor Karl desired peace
. more than a year ago, and that the
federalization plan, recently re-
- ported, came too late to placate the
-' alien subjects. In speaking of the
reported independence of Hungary,
'Mr. Penfield said: "Whether in-
dependence means changing from
:- kingdom to a republic I know not,
but I well know the Hungarians in
their hearts despise Germany and
resent being chained to Kaiser Wil-
heltn's chariot."

Hard Luck Harry Leaves
: After Third Brief Visit
V: By ROBERT J. HORTON.
- He stood at the corner of Six-
; teenth and Farnam, a bafHed look in
his eyes. He chewed disconsolately
.on a toothpick as he squinted up and
down he deserted streets, for it
was evening, and it was raining.
,His coat-tails flapped, art the wind.
" "My man, you look lonesome,"
. said the genial night hawk.
"By gum, L be lonesome t" He
added a splash of tobacco juice to
the downpour. ' ' Omaha ain't what
it used to be. I've come here three
A times this fall trying to have a good
time after a hard summer's work
and ir can't be lid." ::
He swung about and glared in
the direction of the city hall.
- "First time I came was during the
carnival. I like them there paddle
wheels. I always used. to win on
them things and this year they cut
'em out. Thet just spoiled it fo.r
me. A carnival ain't no carnival
without them there wheels, I'm here
to say!"
He tugged disgustedly at his chin
whiskers.
"Then the second time I come I
come just purpose to see that there
great filum by thet feller , Griffin
called 'Hearts of the World,' and
the day I got here they slapped
that damfool closing order on the
town and I was left standing out
side with my mouth open and a re
served seat ticket in my hand ar !
no place to" go!"
He bobbed hi head for emphasis
and it wasn't drops of water that
flew off his beard.
"And here it is the third time I'm
in town, this time with an idea of
being right devilish having worked
hard all summer and every con
demn bootlegger I know is flat on
his back with influenzy. I've a
plum good notion to smash my
umbrell !"
. "Well, that is hard luck," said the
genial night hawk. "Still there's
one good bit of news: they set the
clocks back an hour tomorrow and
we'll have an hour more of sleep
every morning."
"Oh, we will, will we?" Tobacco
juice flew in all directions. "Well,
mebbe that's good news fer some,
but I've hed. insomnia -for the last
ten years, young feller, an' it only
means I'll heve to wait an hour
longer fer breakfast."
He started on the run down street,
for his hat and umbrella were riding
straight for the Missouri on a sud
den heavy gust of W"f2
Germans either had not time to de
stroy or they are heeding the words
of President Wilson. Present indi
cations are for a stand by the Ger
mans on a line of defense drawn
from Antwerp south to Metz. This
will enable them to retreat in bet
ter order to the frontier defenses
of Germany which would seem im
minent. The present dazzling allied suc
cesses in the Balkans has had a cer
tain spectator on the German side
who must feel the irony of the sit
uation keenly. That person is Field
Marshal von Mackensen. Yet, in
the working of the destruction of
Germany, it is altogether fitting that
Von Mackensen should suffer first
He began his military career some
45 years ago by murdering four
French women who trusted him.
The present war gave him unlim
ited opportunity to develop all the
Prussianism that. there was in him.
It is said that even the Germans
hate him. He directed the overrun
ning of Serbia, and boasted that he
had utterly crushed that small coun
try. A year later, he destroyed
Roumania in the same manner, and
in 1917 he superintended the Capor
etto disaster which so nearly sent
Italy to ruin. But the Italians turn-
; ed the Germans back at the Piave,
! and General Byng with his tanks
; at Cambrai showed the Germans
that they did not dare to take their
troops out of France. Mackensen,
therefore, was sent back to the near
! east to wring food and money out
' of the helpless people, and leave the
j western front free to his rivals, Hin
' denburg and Ludendorf.
When the present Balkan offen
sive started Von Mackensen tele
graphed frantically to the kaiser for
more troops, but got in reply a de
mand to furnish soldiers for the
righting in France. Hindenburg's
iines were crumpling under the
blows of General Foch, and every
available soldier was needed to
stiffen the defense. So, with a
i handful of troops scraped together
from Roumania, Mackensen rushed
to Sofia, trying to stem the rush
but he was too late. Bulgaria was
whipped, and out of the war, when !
he got there, and the Austrians !
were in wild retreat, with German
units leading in the flight, while
the Serbians, Italians, French and
British were hotly pursuing the
broken army. Mackensen ground
his teeth, but could do no more, as
he saw his Serbian conquests slip
kaway as Uskub, then Nish, then
uurazzo, ten to tne muan armies
and their allies, and the way into
Austria was opened.
The black areas on the general
map show the extent of the allied
gains in 1918. They mean more,
however, than just so much terri
tory taken. The German resistance
in the Balkans is broken, while in
France it is estimated that one
quarter of the German artillery has
been captured, and about that per
centage of the effectives put out of
the fight.
The capture of Durazzo was a
very brilliant feat. Italian and
allied warships steamed into the
harbor, disregarding mine fields and
shore guns, sank the Austrian fleet
hiding there, and destroyed the mil
itary works of the port. At the
same time the Italians from south
ern Albania were making forced
marches over the intervening hun
dred miles of wild and roadless
country. They drove the Austrians
out of the mountains and took the
city before the enemy could rally.
The fall of Durazzo completely
frees the lower Adriatic of the Aus
trian menace, and paves the way
for an invasion of Austria itself.
Italian troops are also fighting
magnificently in France. They hold
the lines in the Champagne north of
Rheims. Fighting side by side with
the French they took the important
city of Sissone, east of Laon. It
was largely due to the Italians that
the German offensive at Rheims in
July was stopped dead in its tracks.

failure of his offensive in France

the allied armies, who is well aware

Yank Prisoner Escapes
From Hun Prison Camp
. Paris, Oct. 27. The Stars and
Stripes, the official newspaper of the
American expedition force, identifies
the first American private soldier
to escape from prison in Germany
as Frank Savicki and devotes a
three column article to his experi
ences. Savicki whose home was in
Shenandoah, Pa., is a Russian Pole
by birth, and has taken out his first
naturalization papers.
.While-a1 prisoner in the hands of
the Germans Savicki spent 10
weeks behind the German lines
where he worked 14 hours daily on
military work. He then was sent to a
farm. He often went days without
food and water and was clubbed by
his guards for picking grass along
a roadside to eat. Finally he was
sent to the prison camp at Rastatt,
where he received American Red
Cross parcels from Switzerland.
After several weeks in the prison
camp Savicki succeeded in escaping
and making his way through the
mountains into western Alsace
where he has rejoined his regiment.
