HUN HIDES 4 YEARSConceals Self in New Guinea Jun-

gle During War.

German Army Captain Risks DeathAmong Cannibals Until Armistice

Is Signed.

Konrad Detzler, a German army en-gineer who had been hiding In the NewG*inea jungle since the beginning ofthe war, has come back to civilizationand now is in an internment camp inAustralia. Detzler’s Story is on a parwith other romantic incidents of thewar as it affected the Soutli sea.

Detzler holds a captain’s commission.¦When the war began lie was surveyingthe boundary line between the thenKaiser Willielmland, or German NewGuinea, and Papua, or British NewGuinea. He decamped into the bush.This was a risky act, for the bushmenprefer human flesh above all otherkinds. When an Australian force oc-cupied Kaiser Wilkeliniaud Detzlerwas overlooked.

For more than four years Detzlerlived in the bush near Mismis. liehad a shotgun, but it was not long be-fore he ran out of cartridges. There-after he lived on yams, taro and kau<:w variety of sweet potato) in commonwith the natives, and upon birds andanimals which he caught by meuns ofsnares.

Several times the Australians search-ed for him, but Detzler managed toelude them. He might have stayedindefinitely in the jungle, but mission-

aries told the Papuans of the armisticeand they in turn told him. Thereuponhe surrendered to the nearest Austra-

lian officer. While living throughoutthe war at Mismis, Detzler wore onlya lava lava (native kilt). The resultis that he is utmost us brown as aPapuan. He now weurs a Germanuniform.

HOW DEPTH BOMB STARTED

British Admiral Responsible for Wea-pon That Revolutionized Anti-

submarine Warfare.

New York.—How the submarinedepth bomb, familiarly referred to as“ash can," came into being to revolu-tionize antisubmarine warfare was re-

lated here by Rear Admiral William S.Sims, commander during the war ofthe American naval forces overseas.

Rear Admiral Sir Charles EdwardMadden, chief of stalT to Admiral Jel-licoe, was the author of the Idea, Ad-miral Sims said, giving as his authority

Admiral Jelllcoe.The Idea came to Admiral Madden,

he continued, while the British officerwas aboard a cruiser which sighted asubmarine. The cruiser gave chase, hesaid, but as it drew near the submarinesubmerged. 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 of a device to

drop on these HUns?”Other officers approving the plan, the

cruiser put back to port, where theIdea was presented to Admiral Jellicoe.lie approved flie plan, and munitionexperts were put to work devising the“ash can.”

The depth bombs evolved containedPvM) pounds of trinitrotoluol and were

capnble of wrecking a submarine.
