I Moat Exciting Adventure In Offlcei's Career Occura While He Is Quietly Seated in His Home Engaged I In Literary Pursuit.
By TANCRED ZANGHIERI, Lieutenant In the Italian Army.
(Special Correspondence to the Chicago ' * Daily News.)
Gorltz, Austria.—Heine tells in one I of his poems how he sought happiness ' all over the world without e\eT flnd- ! Ing It; returning home dl.»<consoliite, he I met It seated on the hearth of his own ' house. It Is an adventure which may j I happen even to a newspaper corre- : sponilent. A city like Gorltz Is an El¬ dorado for the sensation se-eker. Yet j I had the most InterestLnff adventure of '- ! my sojourn today, without moving from i
my table. I Permit me to tell you about it In de- ! tall and with precision, divided into ! I three chapters of varying length, nnd | I admit that even when one is tlie prin- j cipal personage of a story one still hns | I the right to consider oneself from more [ I than one viewpoint. j
Chapter I.—Tha Setting. !
I Up till September 21 the weather I wns bnd. It was not rain; it was a | I deluge. The Italian trenches, like those : I of the Austrinns, are all cut into the I ; slopes of mountains and hills; despite I I the shelters, the rain pours in, forms I ditches and flows through them; the trenches become small noisy torrents. To flght In these conditions is not pos¬ sible. The offlcial bulletins express the situation in the words: "Bad weather hinders the operations." -
Hence a forced truce to the work of ] destruction. Nature takes care of the destruction by a sudden cold wave, [ dampness that penetrates one's bones ' and slows up the vital functions. >
But on the 22d the weather deter- | mines to better itself. The clouds, con¬ founded in a gray veil, take on forms, thin out, show bits of sky. The day becomes divinely beautiful; the air is limpid as crystal. One can distinguish every tree, every bush of Podgora, a green mass. The Sabotlno, more bare, veils its reddish scars made by hun¬ dreds of thousands of shells, in the vlolety vapor of a cloud, vast but tenu- { ous, interposed between It and the sun. i Monte Santo, San Gabrlele, San Dan- lele, gathered up beneath the crest of | the Selva di Tamova, seem to smile at | their unhappy brother, the Carso, | which Innocently stretches its low arid j knolls to the sun, as thcugh to Intoxl- ' cate itself with warqith and quiet. |
No sound of cannon Is heard; no ^ rifle crack disturbs the silence of this i spring, like flejrescence. '
The 23rd—not a cloud in the spot- j le.ss sky; the solar warmth raises light i mists which tint the distant mountains, i palest azure. |
And not a concussion, not a shot; j only above, the airplanes are flying and Utile cloudlets of white smoke follow j thein. But It Is not "our" war; we are , down on the earth, breathing the vlvl- \ tying air In great gulps. Like the little i de>g of Maeterlinck we do not deign to cast a glance at that sky which is not deemed "ejatable" by onr desires. The ; province of the air, the theater of war | 3,000 feet above, does not interest us. i The bursting shrapnel is so far away \ that one has to pay attention to hear j it. '
This "truce of God" is strange, so ! st'auge that it seems the armies have forgotten the waf. I have never felt my sonl more peaceably Inclined, more hourge'ois, less warlike. I forbid my oreleTly to wake me early tomorrow;
Aud in truth this morning I got up at j 8, full of crazy ideas, with the desire ; to cliuih up, up over the wooded slopes I of a nwuutaln, to throw myself on the \ ground upon a carpet of moss, to look ' at the trees, hear the chirping of | lilrels, enjoy* all the beauty of this en- j chanted region. And the Austrlans? '¦ Hut llo thc Austrlans still exist? '

It is 11:45 a. m. and he la late for the
' officer's mess which Is located near the
open door of a courtyard, in the same
street where stands the house of your
correspondent.
Lieutenant PuvlanI arrives late at the mes.s. This tardiness is not neces-' sary considering that he has nothing to do from morning till night, but It gives him a certain air of being a "slave of duty," which he cultivates.
So Lieutenant PuvlanI walks along with flrm and measured step toward the mess. Behold him In Via L—, be-. hold hiin In Via A—, two .steps from his goal. The street Is quiet as though lulled to sleep in the heat of a summer afternoon.
.^ueldenly. nt the end of the street, a hundred yarel«e In front of ehlia, he hears a sinister whistling, nn explosion, a ter¬ rific noise. Pieces of wall, benm.s, broken glass rain upon the street, while a great cloud, first reddish, then whit¬ ish, rises Into the sky.
Lleutenapt PuvlanI looks at the stricken heiuse and utters a cry. In
