Before His Honour Judge McLeod
at the Sumerside Court yesterday the investigation was begun into charges which have been laid by the P.E. Island branch of the Dominion Tem- perance Alliance against, His Honour Mr K. J. Martin, stipendiary magis- trate for Queen's County, and Mi- Allan Boisner, Prosecutor, in respect, to the discharge of their duties under the Prohibition Act. The charges are somewhat similar to those which were brought sealant Stipeudiury wright and Prosecutor. Phillips, the evidence in whose cases was concluded some time 830- There were no witnesses present for the prosecution and Mr Martin asked the Court, in view of the possible failure of the prosecution to produce evidence, that lie be allow- ed, as also Mr Boisiier, to take the stand and make a statement on oath, and then afterwards the witnesses for the opposite side could be beard. He only asked this in view of a possi- bility of the prosecution not appear- ing, and he wished to have some de- finite step taken in regard to the charges which were outstanding against him on paper.
Mr Bell said he had been instructed
to state that the Alliance was of opiii- ion tiiat, so far as the Charlottetown end of the investigation was con. ceriled, the cases should be tried there. lt was inconvenient to the Alliance to have the present cases tried in Summerside, and furthermore it would entail considerable expense in having witnesses come down from Charlottetown. There had been, he stated. negotiations between the Government and the Alliance in re-' gard to the matter oi’ witnesses’ ex- penses, but nothing definite had been decided upon. I-le had been speaking with Mr Bentley o_ver the telephone and had been instructed to apply for ii postponement of the cases for one, two or three weeks. He would there- lore make application for a postpone- ment. for one, two or three weeks

as mi8ht be suitable or convenient to 9-ii D8-flies. on the following grounds: (1) that there is a dispute between the Alliance and the Attorney-General as to what is meant by material wit- li_9BS0B. and that can easily be settled; (3) 011.016 ground that the Alliance is “Ot ready with its witnesses to pro- ceed with the investigation, ug the ‘iiBD\1te in question took place o'iily yesterday; (-5) and further, on the ground that, as counsel for the Alli- MICB. I have no instructions respecting the examination or crosaexamination of witnesses.
The Attorney-General, in reply"
to Mr Bell. stated that his pro- test against witnesses coming fronl Charlottetown to Summerside had al- Yev-iiy been disposed of. When the inquiry W8-B adjourned there was no .oblection as to where it would' be con- tinued. Coming to the reason given by Mr Bell for his application for a D0BfDonement. the prosecution, he said, had undertaken to make 'certain charges against public officials. Surely they did not make those statements wantonly without knowing whether they were true or not, And if they knew they were true surely the witnesses would be immedi- ately in their knowledge. One of the gentlemen accused occupied a very important judicial position in the pro- vince, and it was a serious injury to him personally. auli it affected the administration of justice that he should be obliged to be under the charges for an indefinite time. With
I
regard to expenses, continued Mr Matliiesoii. he had been exceedingly anxious from the start that the inquiry should be as full and exhaustive as possible. and for tllat purpose he was willing to go farther than was in con- templation at the time that the charges were brought. So far as h
e was con-
cerned, lie had never heard a word from the Allialice as to financial assistance in this inquiry. They took

(Canadian Press.)
LONDON, Sept. 16.- No fighting
anywhere has been reported today. The Germans are apparently taking a position foranother battle and while they have been badly defeated it is ‘ believed they can show sufiicient or-‘ ganization to put up a united front on the Meuse River where the next big iight is likely to be. They are falling back to take up position which can be better held than those where the iiglitiug of the past week has been going on and it is expected thc colli- iiig battle will bc every bit us big as the one which is about ciitlod.
The principal fcaturo today was the
statement of Sir ldilwaril Grey in re- ply to the German cluiiii that Britain acted unfairly. _

The general expectation that tho re-
treating German armies would make all attempt to stem the tide of their rapid ° retreat was confirmed by a despatch received yesterday, in which it was stated officially at Paris that the German army was fighting a de- fensive battle along its front from Noyon to a point north of Verdun. This would indicate that the retiring Germans were so hard presssed that they found it imperative, to avoid utter disaster, to give battle at a time when clearly it was unsuited to them. as liaving~evacuated Rheinls, accord- ing to military experts, the key of the situation, it is considered they might as well get back over the border and confess failure.
The British and French aviators ran
daring risks following the movements of the German army, but they suc- ceeded ili gathering the information that the Germans had erected field works at various places along the northern plateau beyond Rlieims. lt is evideiltly here that the defensive action annouliced is being fought.
It is understood they left several
corps on their western wing and on
their centre, with the desperate task
of holding these lines so as to prevent their pursuers from harassing the bulk
of the German army which, in the ' since the taking of Lemberg is cs-

PARIS, NOYUN, September 16.-
The blrtliplace of Calvin, and also cel- ebrated for its ,connection with Char- lemagne, formed today the extreme left of the Allies' lett wing, which for twelve days‘has not lost its close and constant action with thc Germans and has done brilliant work in driving them back from Noyon. The line of battle sweeps southwards then north to Laon fortress forming a half circle and from the fortress stretches east to the Mcuse north of the first fort of Verduii where it is stated the Allies’ right wing is pushing the Germans northward. The fact that the battle is raging within a short distance of Paris posses almost nnperceived at the French capital.
Trains filled with prisoners or

LONDON, September 16.-The
correspondent of ‘the iieuter Tele- gram, Antwrrp, relates, in 5 ties. patch how a German cavalry force, three thousand strong, with machine guns and supply wagons, was sur- prised lnst Monday at Rousbruggc, between Hooyvstade and Poperinghe, close to the frontier, by a French cavalry force of 1,000 men, who put them to flight, and captured many of the.machine guns and much am- munition. The Germans were in camp when the French fell upon them and a fierce engagement last- ing for two hours ensued. One hund- red Germans were cuptured. 'l'hc French lost about thirty men, iu- cluding two offlcers killed.
A. battalion of the Twenty-Fourth
regiment of the Belgian line, the correspondent continues, blew up the railroad bridge between Aloat and ‘Termonde. This battalion later swooped down upon a German bat- tullon in camp, killing fifty of them. The Iielgiuns in this engagement captured nine supply wagons, a field kitchen, and several motor cycles.

They must now put in all their time shooting, and learning field move- iiiciits, for thc active service which. they must face.” ' Oiic reiuziikiible fcature of the re- vicw was tliut it was witiicsscd liy Gem-i‘:il (`ro7,icr, chief ot' the ordin- ance stuff oi' thc United States uriiiy., The gciicriil wore his uliiforni. his visit bcilig an official one, and liisf prcsciicc wus taken to indicate the syiiipatliviic l`c<~Iing of the govern-i ment of the United States towards the I Allies. 1

PUBLIC WORK8 WILL CONTINUE
A8 FAR A8 POSSIBLE.
OTTAWA, September IG.-Not a
single contract has been ict by the railways and canals department since the war began. Every effort is being made, however. as is also the case with the department of public works, to carry on the work already started. Operations have been continued with- out cessetion on the Welland canal, the Hudson Bay railway, the work at Port Nelson and the Halifax harbor scheme. Provided that money con- ditions remain reasensbly easy this _work will be prosecuted steadily throu-,
ghout the war, but nothing new will be undertaken and the progrzinime of public works, such as would in the usual course be proposed for the ap- provul of parliament iicxt session will be cut in half, only work which has already been commenced or is absol- utely necessary being carried on. ln this way thc goverunieiit hopes to be iible to give einploylnciit to many, ,while at the same time practising that ecoiioiny which the present situ- ation demands. if money becomes ,much tighter, of course, even more .radical measures might have to be taken.
