HOME, Sept. 17 Hungarian papers
have just reached Italy by way of
Switzerland containing an interview
with one of the survivors of the Aus
trian cruiser Santo Stefano. sunk by
an Italian motorboat under the com
mand of Commander Kixzo.
The interview contains graphic de
tails of this new form of naval com
bat which has been developed exclu
sively by the Italians since the begin
ning of the war. The seagoing motor
boats with which the Italian navy is
now harassing the Austrian fleet are
similar to the thousands of motor
boats to be found at every sea and
I lake resort in America. In only one
respect do they differ, and that is in
the two torpedo tubes at the sides,
from which deadly torpedoes glide out
into the water.
Combats between these little boats
and the huge Austrian warships re
semble to a certain degree a subma
rine and warship encounter, except
that the motor boat commanders, un
alde to save themselves by submerg
ing. take a thousand times more
< bailees, meeting the foe In open
< omhat and counting on the smallness
if their craft and their speed and
cleverness in maneuvering.
Sailor Tells Story
This is the way the novel combat
in which the Santo Stefano went down
before the audacity of Commander
itizzo and his motor boat looked to
the Hungarian sailor aboard t h1
doomed Austrian cruiser:

obliged to work the pumps by hand to

No Hope is Seen
"After two hours of terrific work
we were forced to recognize that there

them was Lieutenant Bovls.
" \fter the usu al ceremony the chap

EOR THIS FRENCH GIRL
THK 1 > AI.I.KS. Ore., Sept. 17.—
French girls have a way of rising to
the emergency.
Sergeant Jerry Gerrarii writes home
ol an instance.
A wounded American was brought
into a dressing station, hut in the rush
the station had run out of anesthetics.
Yet a serious operation must lie per
formed at once.
The dainty French nurse sized up
the situation Site bent down an*
kissed the wounded American and
then rested her cheek against his
dirty, bearded face. With the girl’s
arm about his shoulder, the American
rallied, and the operation was suc
cessfully performed.
