8 THRUSTINTHE DARK (Servian Soldier Tells Story of Experiences in War. ' counter Between Sentry and Albanian In Blacknees of Night and Storm ?Waiting In Pitchy Darkness for Unseen Enemy. Salonlki, Macedonia.?A Servian soldier Just returned from Albania related the following episode as his worst experience in the war: j wna uu iiigm umy hb a seiury un the Albanian hills, where rain and dark overtook us. All thiB region was unknown to ub, but the tribes were Moslem, and supposed to be hostile. I knew that thousands of lives depended on me; I stood motionleeB. weary, stone cold, and unable to see anything, glad to rest my back sometimes behind me. 1 got to thinking of home in spite of myself, till I was startled by a rustle some paces off. W? were warned not to make any noise, bo I did not touch my gun, but got my sword ready. There was no other sound for a long time, except the pouring of the rain. I do not know how many hours It was till a stone from above rattled past me and fell to the precipice below. I tried to persuade myself the rain had dislodged it, but the rustle began again, and I knew something living was near. I made the sign of the cross and held my sword straight In front of me. 1 strained my eyes, but could not see a move or a gleam In the black night. The muffled sound continued, aver -i slightly, but distinguishable, and 1 had the horrid sensation of being een by what I could not see. 1 mad* no move, but suddenly my sword encountered something, and 1 preaaed hard, just taking one step forwardThere was a strange gurgle. I was ehivering and drenched, but some hot drops now fell on my hand. 1 pulled back my sword, and heard some heavy object tumble down the slope, wondering whether It was a dog or a wolf or a strayed mule?or a man. I felt the blade and found It wet with something thicker than rain. 1 held it near my eyes, in vain. 1 wiped It on the damp earth at my feet, and waited for another encounter, but there was no farther sound till dawn approached and the cocks began to crow In some village far away .

P. Ripley, president of Het the Santa Fe railroad, Is distrustful of the country's political future. He has no downright fear that the United States is heading for disaster; the tendency may be checked in time to prevent a catastrophe. There are certain signs which make him hopeful that the headlong course will be stopped, but he is far from sure. The house and the senate, in his view, are dangerously radical. The one compensating factor in Washington is that which Is relative to the railroads. He believes that the Interstate Railroad Commission is less perilous than it was, say, a year ago. Mr. Ripley returned from California yesterday and went direct to his home R in Riverside The president of the Santa Fe Is gradually recovering from an acute attack of Indigestion, which occurred seven weeks ago in California. "I suppoee I have unwittingly acquired the reputation of being a pessimist." said Mr. Ripley. "I am per- j fectly conscious of not agreeing with ' the majority of people who elect legislators, but long experience as a rail road man and aa an observer of poll- 001 Ucal tendencies Impels me to say that | me the United States of today.
