STORIES OF EUROPEAN WAR
AS TOLD BY PARTICIPANTS
Liverpool,—Like "infernal music
rulxed with fire and smoke" is the
way John Siatcinski. who just reach
ed here from Russia describes the
sound of gunfire that he was forced
to listen to for eighteen hours while
lying in a hallow in a. place in a
field directly in the center of a
A J, 4, 4« -?• 4
battlefield an which Russians and
Germans were meeting.
Slatcinski, who lived in America,
weut to Russia at the outbreak of
the vw in an effort to find his
father and get him out of the coun
try. He could not fiud him and he
was returning towards the German
lines when he ran afoul of a battle.
He was in the midst of bursting
shells before he knew it. He found
a sort of a dug-out, which the Rus
eiang had made to support a field
piece and he laid down in it. He
said he laid there for eighteen hours
while the battle raged about him.
"The noise was terrific," he said,
"but all the shells passed over mo
end I was uninjured."
On his way *o the German lines,
he was arrested several times, but,
finally managed to make his way
through.
Paris,—a French priest who lied j
to save four English soldiers who
"Ot lost from their troops is being
hailed as a hero in a little village !
ia eastern France.
The four "Tammies" reachod the
village late in the afternoon. The !
priest, realizing what it would mean
to him if the Germans found him
harboring them, took the soldiers
L> and fed thsm and provided them J
with a place to sleep. Not long j
after a band of Uhlans rode into.)
town. Assembling the townspeople
the officers in charge demanded i
that they tell where the English- j
m»n were as they had seen them j
enter the town. The townspeople all
knew where the four soldiers were i
but they looked towards their |
priest.
In a loud voice, so that all the [
townspeople would be certain to I
hear him, the priest disclaimed any I
knowledge of the English soldiers. J
"They must have gone towards
Paris," he said and the Uhlans rode
away.
Amsterdam,—a letter received
her© by a resident from a friend
near the border tells .some Interest
ing facts of the way the Germans re
gard the progress of the war. The
letter follows;
"1 have seen a little from a
[very high German official who has
! been at the front since the begin
ning of th« invasion of Belgium
I and is now invalided home in which
he says 'the war is not going as we
expected. Tbg resistance of the
allied forces is extraordinary and

In thousands. Whilst it is impos- '
sible to say exactly what our losses (
are, i should estimate them be- (
tweon 350,000 and 400,000 alto- (
gether. If it continues at this rate ^
much longer we shall be quite un" ^

Petrograd,—A captured German !
soldier gives a very interesting ac- 1
:ount of the feeling of some of 1
Ills countrymen with regard to the I
ivar. In reply to a question of
A'hy he had gone to war he said: 1
"Well, we could not help it. We 1
were told to go and we had to obey, c
3ur Emperor did not want war. All f
Lhls trouble was brought about by c
iur oficers and t*e Austrians. But (
both. are now hiding behind our

happens to us." v
London,—Tiie Heligoland of to
lay is a vastly different sort of j
place than it was prior to the be- .
ginning of the war, according to a |
-raveler who has reached here, j
From the lively, popular seaside re- (
>ort of a few months ago it has been ^
turned into a griiu lookiug lortifica- ;
-ion, fairly bristlnsr wtli guns. No ,
signs of gaaiety are seen. All tile (
visitors have had to withdraw and .
■Uso all the inhabitants of the is- j
laud who are not detained on mili

part. The reason for this is that

tion nicture theaters, corresponding
Tor newspapers, waiting on table,
tending furnaces, clerking, tutoring
and acting as house-maids, steno
graphers and printers, 1,839
students in the University of Wash
ington manage to defray in part or
completely the expense of acquiring

men who thus solve the problem of
the cost of living in the university
community constitute 64 per cent of
the 2,847 enrolled, according to
figures compiled by Recorder E. N.
Stone.

statement that 769 students are
wholly self-supporting, and that 1,
070 are doing a part in making their
way through the university. Only
184 have means of their own.
The \vomen furnish the majoriV
of the non-supporting class, only
32 Der cent of the 1,228 being en
gaged in outside work, as against
G4 per cent of the men. One hun
dred and eighty women are earning
their way, while 222 are doing
a part.

secure employment, have been foil
ed to withdraw from the university.
