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. How German seamen were caught signalling to German ships Interned In the Thames was describod at the were charged at the Thames 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.

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.

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 trio explained, “and you can guess 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.

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.

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.” per pound. TELEPHONE 215 NOSE AND HEAD STOPPED UP PROM COLD OR CATARRH, OPEN AT ONCE.
