A Dutchman who hns hint returned from

crcupnnti of three nlrahlps German
Knnllsh ami Trench The story wns re
lntpd to him by the German otneer, who
narrowly escaped death after nn experi
ence which he doc not dcHlro repeated.
"Some dayi ago," thi ofllcer said, "I

"Several attempts were made b Us to

prudently turned northward, hoping to

The lirlstol was coming cloer and closer,
and we felt Ike a bird on which a vul

"I said to m mechanic: 'I think our

am sure that If the Kngllshman had any
bombs nboird I would not be here to
tell the tale, but fortunatelv he had
none. He could not havp misled us. as
owing to his cleei steering he was about
M . arils over us " j
In this trMng situation the (rrnnn of
ficer, though eNpectlng to be shot or
dashed to earth at any moment did not
lose his neive. He handled his craft
with cleverness and care, following cver

Impossible to forward much needed it'nds

After the war began r.nd the various

and that it iai Impossible to give relief.
The uneasiness which this situation
aroused has been IntcnslHed when It
was reported through Home that the
Ottoman Government, besides suppressing
the capitulations, had detei mined to
abolish all foreign schools within the
empire. Dispatches received through
dlplcmntto sources from Homo state that
the conditions In Constantinople aro most
scrlouti.
Absolutely nothing Is known ns to the
