Commander J. \. Moffit. Serving on the
Florida as a watch officer was Lieutenant

BERLIN, Oct. 15. I he number of Rus-
sian war prisoners who try to escape to
neutral countries In the hope of reaching
their fatherland increases steadily, but
verv^ few of the fugitives manage to get
out of the German empire. Most of them
are caught before they reach the frontier.
When captured they all give the same
explanation for their attempted flight
they are home sick and want to see their
families again.
The runaways are mostly men who have
been placed on farms almost unguarded.
They have worked all summer and saved
the wages paid to them. With their sav-
ings they expect to be able to get to Rus-
sia somehow.
Many try to reach Switzerland, although
tlirv do not know how they are to reach
their homes from there. Somebody has
told them that they would lie free as soon
as they are on Swiss soil, and that their
consuls would procure transportation for
them. Their astonishment is always great
when they ai\ taken into custody and in-
terned by the Swiss authorities.
In the last two weeks about 400 Rus-
sians tried to cross Lake Constance and
eighty succeeded. The others were cap
tared and returned to their camps, where
I ho will be kept under close surveillance
in the future.

PARIS, Oct. in. -The financial superior
ity of the 1 Tilted States in ,war stricken
Europe will continue for some time after
the establishment of peace, owing to the
distress to a flue bark in the distance. The ! great demands for American products to
bark bore down on the Clarence, and be- j restore too ruins, says the Paris Temps,
fore her people were aware of it, Read's
men had clambered on board, armed to the
teeth, and the hark was their prize. Sin
proved to be the Tacony, an American
craft. Read at once saw that she was a
fine craft, and not being altogether satis-
fied with tin' sailing qualities of the Clar-
ence, he burned the latter after first trans-
ferring his howitzer and crew to the Ta-
cony. Before leaving the ground where the
Tacony was captured, Read gathered in
three more craft,'one of these, the schooner
Schindel, he burned. The others, a brig
and schooner, he bonded. Finding himself
encumbered with many prisoners, Read
transferred all to the last captured schooner
ami sent them to Philadelphia
The Tacony now stood off short, laying
n course to intercept the liotuobound Amor
can ships engaged in the West India trade, j
On June 1."», the Tacony being about
miles east of Cape Charles, she burned a !
brig. Then she made for the Nantucket I
shoals, where on .lime 'Jft and 21 she burned
the three vessels above mentioned.
On Tune U.'l, the Tacony was off the
Georges Hank, and in that locality she
burned eight American vessels, l'.y June
24 the Tacony had reached a position to
the northward of the track of vessels bound
from Europe to the port of Hoston, ami
when at ;i point about 110 miles east of
Portland, Maine, she captured the schooner
Archer. Read, appreciating that many ves-
sels must by this time be in search of him,
decided to quit the Tacony. 'This he did by
transferring to the Archer, after which the
Tacony was fired.
Read now planned to slip Into Portland,
Maine, and cut out a steamer at that port.
He passed into the port with the Archer
without being challenged, and about 0
o'clock of .lune 26, he carried by boarding
the cutter Caleb Cushing. This was a two-
masted sailing craft. Before cutting out
the Cushing. the alarm was sounded and
Itead found It expedient to gel to sea as
quickly as possible. Manning the Cushing,
lie made sail, and managed to • lear the
liarhor, but by morning the wind failed
and the Cushing lay becalmed a few miles
beyond the port. Iu this predicament the

port, and at 11 :'H) a. m. on June 27 Read
New York will be the financial and
commercial center of the world until Eng
land has paid her American debts. A
complete victory by the allies, says the
Temps, will enable England quickly to rr
gam her dominating financial position.
At the beginning of the war the United
States owed in Europe $.*>,000,000,000
but Europe is now the debtor. The influx
of gold Into the United States from Eu
rop< early in the war caused an imme-
diate rise in the cost of living in America,
says the 'Temps, and the American bank
er.s afterward readily accorded the entente
allies credit and facilities in order to check
this rise.

PARIS i Via London), Oct. la.- Accord
ing to Jeau Herbette, military strategist
and writer on international affairs, the
tier man submarine I'-53 made a breach
in the Monroe doctrine by sinking vessels
off the Ncvs England coast aud it remain*
to be set u whether the United States will
sustain the celebrated American tradition
or let be.cast aside.
France is only a disinterested spectator
in the debate. " says Herbette, "because it
makes little difference to her whether the
tiermans operate ou one side of the
Atlantic or the other, but it will product
a great change In the political equilibrium
of the world if the Monroe doctrine shall
be abrogated by Presideut Wilson.
"The Jeffersonlan doctrine against Eu
ropeau interference ou the other side of
the Atlantic applies in fact to Amerlcau
waters as well as to the continent Itself,
and when President Jefferson iu formulat
Ing his doctrine prohibited European pow
crs from controlling the destiny of the
Amerlcau people, he opposed naval as well
as military control. One cannot be toler-
ated without opening the door to the
other."
Mr. Herbette recalls the case of French
warships in 1*70 cruising off New York
in watch for (ierman vessels. The French
ships violated no laws, he says, yet their
action resulted In the Amerlcau secretary
«.f State sending a warning Mt| to Fram e
The principle then laid dowu has uot been
forgotten, he adds.
"President Wilson," says M. Herbette in
cot-elusion, "was no less categorical when
during the present war he upheld the same
rule with regard to England In the case
of the steamer Yineland."
