“Then, when ther got within shout

but we were out of the trench and

“The Germans seemed struck. Ther

their rifles, turned about and set the

chucked off their packs, and a few
even tried to pull off their tunics!
But we had ’em! I never knew I

HOW LOUDON OHIO MIH ALLEGED SPIES
London, Oct. 1.—The British police
are extraordinarily vigilant now in
running down all foreigners, especial
ly Germans, suspected of being spies.
Every day there are In the police
courts numerous prisoners, accused
of violating the alien laws, especially
that providing that all foreigners in
the United Kingdom must register
their nameft, residences, and business
with the proper authorities. Of
course, persons actually caught red-
handed are dealt with by the military
and not the police.

court with being in possession of re
volvers, cartridges and homing pig
eons, contrary to the order in council.
It was stated that a visit was paid
to Davies' address in Royal Mint
street, and that two revolvers and two
homing pigeons were found.
Slegerman said he asked Mr. Davies
to mind the pigeons for him. Zoer-
baume admitted asking Davies to
mind two revolvers and eight cart
ridges. Davies said 'that what he did
was in Ignorance.
An Inspector said that when the
two Germans registered they denied

England. He was staying at the Scan
dinavian Sailors' Home, and the pro
vious night Sergeant Ball aaw the ac
cused, who was at one of the upper
windows of the home, signalling In
the Morse code to German vessels.
When he was arrested he said, “I
did not do it.” Mr. Wilberforce ro-
manded the man with a view to his
being handed over to the military au
thorities.

The Gaoler: And he spoke English

When the court interpreter was
summoned defendant still sullenly re
fused to make any statement beyond
saying be wished to see the German
consul.
It was said that the defendant’s
brother was' a naturalised English
man, but refused to have anything to
do with the defendant, who had been
a source of great trouble to him. He
had frequently advised his brother to
register himself, but he obstinately
refused. It was further stated that
the defendant at the police station
adopted a sullen and stubborn attl-
Accused at Sunderland of falsely
registering himself as a Russian sub
Ject, whereas his discharge papers
showed him to bo an Austrian born
at Trieste, Edward Ballard, a sailor,
said that hundreds of his fellow Rus-
! slans who went to .sea, described
[ themselves as Austrians to escape ar-
' rest for military service when in the
Blatic or Black Sea ports.
“A Belgian and described as an en
emyj” was the shocked remark of
Magistrate Eliot Hartford of Strat
ford, when Inspector Ellis explained
that the police were satisfied that
Louis Van Der Maelin, 23, a waiter,
charged with being an alien enemy,
and not registering himself as a Ger
man, was a Belgian. The officer had
seen his birth certificate. The pris-
ler was discharged.
A fine was imposed by the-Black
pool Bench upon two German waiters
who had been giving the police a great
deal of trouble. Their names were
Henry Wiltcock and Arthur Rudolph
Horthans. Superintendent Derham
said that they had to visit houses at
all hours of the night to keep in touch

were not feelin’ fresh when we start
ed our shooting match.”
They had packs on their backs weigh
Ing 90 pounds. In one of these was a
tin of jam and next day a German bul
let was found in the tin. This must
have got in when the man ducked to
a volley, there was no time to dig a
trench."
Here the corporal took up the nar
rative: “I want to let the public
know how the Black Watch went
through it. It was a terrible bit of
work, but our fellows stuck to their
ground like men—the men of the
bulldog breed the kiddies sing about
at school.
'The Germans were as thick
Highland heather, and by sheer
weight forced us back step by step.
But we had our orders, and every man
stuck to them, and until the orders
came not a livin' man flinched,
We stuck there popping c
Germans as fast as we could, and all
around us the German shells were
bursting. And in the thick of It all

dropping around us like raindrops in
a heavy shower. The roar of the guns
was always there, like the thunder
that you can hear in a big storm, and
you could see one long line of little
white puffs of smoke away on the
horizon every time the Germans fired.
Beyond that you couldn’t see any*-
thing, and It was only an odd sting in
the arm or leg, or head from a bullet
that made you realize that you were
in battle.
It’s a big test of men’s fitness for
soldiering if they can put up with
that for a whole day without losing
their nerve. We had been fighting for
three whole days before we set eyes
on a German, although we were under
fire all the time.
After that we aaw them more fre
quently at close quarters, and then
we had plenty of hand-to-hand fight
ing. The Rangers were very lucky
indeed, to get off so lightly as they
did, for we were continually harrass-
ed by the German cavalry and artil
lery.
“The way the Germans sacrifice
their men. for the sake of making an
impression Is appalling. One posi
tion on our left that we would have
fallen back from in any case, because
it was dominated by a battery which
HOW THE BRITISH CHARGE—gal 2
we couldn't locate, was advanced
against by the German infantry, under
a heavy fire. They came on in one
long never-ending stream, while our
rifle and gun fire tore hideous gaps
through their ranks.
“The Red Cross men say that In
front of that position alone sixteen
hundred dead and wounded were pick
ed up after the fight waa over. The
loss was not more than twenty of all
ranks.
What we are all wondering la how
long the Germans can keep up this
sort of thing. I have teen our cavalry
thrown into confusion merely because
the horses shied at the heaps of dead
bodies they had to tread over when
attempts were made to clear our front
of the advancing Germans.'
Sergeant Major MacDermott states
in a letter:
“We're wonderfully cheerful, and
happy as bare-legged urchins
pering over the fields. Not that there's
much play for us. It's all work, fcht-
ing and fighting and working again,

GERMAN CENTER MAKES GAINS.
Berlin, Oct. 1.—(By wireless to
Sayville, L. I.)—The following ftate-
ment on the situation in Northern
France waa received from the head
quarters of the German general staff
last night and made public tonight:
The enemy are using their rail
roads in a general attack on the ex
treme end of the right flank of the
German army.
'At Bapaume (in Pas de Calais, 14
miles southeast of Arras) an advanced
French rivlsion was repulsed by a
smaller German force. In the center
of the battle front we have made
slight galas.
"The forts under bombardment
south of Verdun have withdrawn their
fire and our artillery la engaged with
forces the enemy brought up on the
west bank of the Meuse.
Elsewhere the situation remains
unchanged.”
