GREEN GUARDS
HASTENED FALL
' OF OLD NATION
SAN FRANCISCO.—The story of
the "Green Army” comitajis or de
serters from the Austrian army—
which poured down from the Lika
mountains in .Jugo-Slavia and the
Carpathians and from the Austrian
rear aided the recent Italian offens
ive was told here recently by Dr.
Ljubo Leontich, member of the
Jugo-Slav Council, who ;s visiting
in San Francisco. Here is his story:
The “Green Army”, so called be
cause of the verdant sotting of the
fastnesses in which they hid them
selves while awaiting the hour to
strike, is made up of one million
deserters from Austria's .lugo-Slav
and Czecho-Slav forces. They were
well organized guerillas, led by
students from Prague and else
where. They donned the Hapsburg
uniform but answered the call to
battle the Latins, the Serbs and
their fellow Slavs in Ukrania and
Bukowina by deserting in hordes
to the mountain.
There they waited through the
years of war, living primitively and
ever watching until they could
sweep down upon the plains of
Croatia and Serbia. The revolt of
a Creation regiment at Fiume late
in October, was the signal. They
swarmed from their retreats and
cut the communication between
Vienna. Berlin and Sophia. On the
one hand they joined the Serbs,
.thrusting the invader, and on the
j other they joined with their fellows,
| Dalmatians in the Austrian fleet at
Pola. and turned over that fleet to
the national council of Jugo-Slavia.
Then Bohemia and the rest of
Czecho-Slavia flamed with revolu
tion, and soon the Magyars and the
other ruling classes of the dual
monarchy were left to their fate.
When it has done its work the
“Green Army” expects to be the
nuclus of the military establishment
of Jugo-Slavia and Czecho-Slavia.
who, while they are separate people
with separate government. have
formed a close unity of interests.
Dr. Leontich. who was former
editor of a revolutionary paper in
Prague, is here to recruit the na
tionals of his country and Czecho
Slavai for the work of the two new
nations. The independence of both
of these peoples has been recog
nized by the United States and
much of the work in formation
of the new governments is being
done in Washington.
IRISH RESIDENTS
SET CLOUD CROSS
DUBLIN.—Over the sea where
j the Dublin mail boat Leinster was
| sunk by a German torpedo in the
Irish Channel. Oct. 10. with the loss
of about 480 lives, a great white
cross was seen in a clear sky by
j resident of the Dublin coast, they
! aver.
Canon Pirn, the rector of Christ
j Church, Kingstown, sent the follow
j ing statement to the Irish Times:
“On Saturday afternoon. Oct. 12
there was a bank of cloud on the
horizon and against a clear sky
above it there appeared for some
moments the form of a great white
cross of absolutely perfect shape.
It was seen by at least four members
of my own household as well as by
other people.
“One of the witnesses described
it to me that it had seemed to him
first as if there were a great cloud
figure with outstretched arms which
assumed the form of a cross, and as
the sharpness of its outline passed,
it seemed to be full of the faces
of men and women. It was just, as
it were, over the place where the
disaster to the Leinster happened.
“One presumes to offer no ex
planation, but it was certainly there
and at least it was a symbol of sur
passing comfort.”

SERUM OF
SEA DISASTER
0UJ_50 DAYS
PAPETTE, Tahiti—"Saved by the
hand of God" is the way the nine
natives comprising: the crew of the
80-ton schooner Oromana character
ize their escape from death after
having; drifted helplessly 50 days on
one of the loneliest bits of ocean in
the Seven Seas.
When the wreck of the Oromana
was towed into Papeete harbor one
of the most remarkable voyages
known in these waters was com
pleted. The vessel, a two-masted
schooner, owned by natives of Rim
atara, an island about 300 miles
southwest of Tahiti, left her home
port without cargo, bound for the
island of Rurutu in the same group,
where she was to undergo repairs
and take a cargo of copra for Ta
hiti.
Two days out she was struck by a
storm which carried away both her
masts and later her rudder, leaving
her a helpless derelict.
With never a glimpse of land or
sail to give a ray of hope, the Oro
mana drifted for 50 days After 15
days the supply of food was gone.
The natives managed to catch a
shark with hook and line. This
lasted them five days. The rest of
;th»- time they had no food. An
occasional shower prevented death
‘ from thirst.
Then the "miracle” happened. The
mountains of Tahiti rose slowly over
the horizon. The shifting current
brought them nearer and nearer,
until they were finally sighted from
shore and a power boat sent to tow
them in. They were too weak to
rise to their feet, but after a few
days ashore all appear to be rapidly
recovering from their experience.
The natives say the hand of God
guided their craft, for the prevail
ing winds in these latitudes are from
the northwest, a direction which
would never have brought them to
Tahiti.
The Bureau of Fisheries, depart
ment of Commerce, announces that
a very successful collection of sock
eye salmon epps was made at the
close of the spawning season in
Alaska for the Afopnak station, the
total amounting to 54.681,000 which
■ constitutes the larpest take of that
species since the Katmai eruption
in 1012, and seems to indicate the
complete recovery of the stream
from the disasterous effects of that
■ occurrence. In view of the en
i courapinp situation commercial lish
; inp for sockeyes by the natives,
which has been prohibited for a
number of years, was resumed on
,a limited scale durinp the summer.
Humpback epps to the number of
8.697.000 were also secured, and in
continuation of the bureau’s efforts
to establish a run of this species in
Pupet Sound durinp the "off" year,
5.750.000 of them were sent down
from Afponak and divided between
the Birdsview and the Hoods Canal
, (Washinpton) hatcheries. With
them came 25,800,00 sockeye epps,
of which 20,700,000 were reshipped
from Seattle to Canadian hatcheries
on the Fraser river. The remainder
will be developed at the Quinault
station, in an effort to build u£ the
depleted run of fish in streams of
, that repo in.
Thouph not unusually larpe, the
take of epps at Yes Bay was satis
factory, the total for the season
eomprisinp 18,665,000 sockeye and
1.365.00 humbacks. Most of the
epps of the latter species will be
shipped to the Main stations, in
continuation of the effort to es
tablish the humpback in Atlantic
waters.
Don’t worry over trifles. There
are enouph bip thinps poiny on in
the world just now.
