RAVALLI REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1919. PAGE THREE HIDES 4 YEARS Victor Darby he continued" while the British officer was aboard a cruiser which sighted a submarine. The cruiser gave chase, he said, but as it drew near the submarine submerged. Admiral Madden, cha-grinned at the cruiser's failure to "get" the submarine, exclaimed "Why wouldn't It be a good idea to work up some sort of a device to drop on these Huns?" Other officers approving the plan, the cruiser put back to port, where the HIT BY AN AUTO Conceals Self in New Guinea Jungle During War. German Army Captain Risks Death Among Cannibals Until Armistice Is Signed.

Konrad Detzler, a German army engineer who had been hiding in the New Guinea jungle since the beginning of the war, has come back to civilization and now is in an internment camp in Australia. Detzler's story is on a par with other romantic incidents of the war as it affected the South sea. Detzler holds a captain's commission. When the war began he was surveying the boundary line between the then Kaiser Wilhelmland, or German New Guinea, and Papua, or British New Guinea. He decamped Into the bush.

This was a risky act, for the bushmen prefer human flesh above all other kinds. When an Australian force occupied Kaiser Wilhelmland Detzler was overlooked. For more than four years Detzler lived in the bush near Mismis. He had a shotgun, but it was not long before he ran out of cartridges. Thereafter he lived on yams, taro and kau (a variety of sweet potato) in common with the natives, and upon birds and animals which he caught by means of snares.

Several times the Australians search- ed for him, but Detzler managed to elude them. He might have stayed indefinitely in the jungle, but missionaries told the Papuans of the armistice and they in turn told him. Thereupon he surrendered to the nearest Australian officer. While living throughout the war at Mismis, Detzler wore only a lava lava (native kilt). The result is that lie is almost as brown as a Papuan.

He now wears a German uniform. HOW DEPTH BOMB STARTED British Admiral Responsible for Wea. pon That Revolutionized Antisubmarine Warfare. New York.
