GERMINI STRNGGLING

NLINITLY IN TIIILS

PARIS, Dec. 23.-Like every other

strategist, naval or military, Lieut.- Colonel Rousset regards with con- tempt the latest German foolishness- the bombardment of the English coast towns. in the liberate he attributes it to the despair of the German general staff, "which, in view of the naval dis- aster off the Falkland islands and the complete failure of the armies in the East and West, feels it must. do some- thing.

"Germany manifestly," continues

Lieut.-Colonel Rousset, “has at last had the proof. This is found in the naval escapade, which has no strategical value and can only strengthen the British determination to crush German militarisnl. Further proof is forth- coming in Poland. where Germany is struggling blindly in the toils. Field Marshal Von llindenburg is persisting in trying to reach Warsaw, and he is trying at the same time to cover Cru- cow. in other words, he is hunting on two trails and thus facilitating the Russian operations on his left llank.

“An interesting point of the opera-

tions is the exodus of Austrian forces froln Czenstochowa alld the towns and passes oi' the Carpathians.

"Read beyond the lilies and this may

mean that the Austrians, tired of pull- ing the chestnuts out of thc fire for Germany, are beginning to look after their owll snl'ely."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23,-After a

at the two sessions held to-day, but at thc afternoon session evidence of a startling nature was given by John West, one of the colored men arrested on suspicion of having been implicat- ed in the crime.

The second witness was John West,

a negro, who stated that he belonged to llalifax County, and who was ar- rested by Chlcf of Police McNeill at the house of William Connolly, almost opposite the residence of Miss Dunn,

sR}ortly after the tragedy was discover- e .

West stated in effect that on his

This he took to Connolly's, and, after arriving at the house, went over to Miss Dunn’s for a pall of water. On returning with the water about 5.30 o'clock, he said, he went down to Moulton’s storé for .another pound of sugar. On his way to Coanolly's he met a, young girl named Kelly, who had for some time been ‘a neighbor of Miss Dunn‘s and had frequently run errands for her.

GUNNIT THEIR LINES LIKE BIIUNZE STITNES

BOULOGNE, Dec. 23.-The great

endurance and lighting ability ol’ the native troops from India who -have come to take part for the first time in history in a war against. white troops o|1 European soil, have astonished those against whom they have been pittod, us well as all the Allied com- manders except the British.

The only question which arose in

the lirltish officers' mind was whether the indian would be able to stand against artillery fire, to which they never had been subjected in the frontier wars. This has been ans- wered in the afllrmatlve, and they have proved as steady under shrapnel fire us the best. of their white com- rades. Not only this, but the com- manders ol' the Allied armies aver that they show dash and fearlessness to a rr-markable degree, and have in many occasions displayed great initiative under the nlost difficult circumstances.

in n suburb of Boulogne before the

entrance of a great field covered with many regular rows of tents stood a. bronze figure as still as a statue. It was a Sikh in his uniform of khaki guarding the sanatorium in which some hundreds of his slightly wound- ed or ailing comrades from the battle- field of Flanders were reeuperating from the hardships of the campaign. These warriors from the Punjab and Bengal, as their fellow-soldiers. the hardy little Gurkhas and Porthans and Jats from the mountains on the Afghan frontier, generally bear the variations of climate with the greatest fortitude. They declare they are fighting for their “ Raj’ or Emperor, and it is not for them to complain.

Just as well drilled and disciplined

as the soldiers of any European power, they go into battle with the full as- surance that. they will he victors. When they ilrst wont into action they disdained the protection of the shelter trenches, anti darted across the open at their opponents with their bayonets and knives, much to their cost, they have since leamed, like all the other troops engaged in this war of rabbit warens, to_ bore their .way through the earth to get al. their foes and they have proved even more adept at this kind of fighting than their European comrades.

the case of Harry K. Thaw, ordering him back to New York, marks the end , of sixteen months of litigation in thel efforts of the authorities of the State; of New York to get Thaw back againl a prisoner at the Matteawan Hospital; for the criminal insane, i`rom which| he escaped on the night of August I7, 1913.

With the aid of five conspirators

Thaw got. away from the hospital in an automobile and made for the Canadian border. lie was caught two days later just after he had crossed the international line from New Hampshire into Quebec in lt i'arm wagon. lie was arorsted and taken, to (‘oaticook, Quebec, where he was‘ kept in jail by the Canadian authori- ties pending efforts of the New York State authorities to have hiln de- ported.

'l‘haw immediately gathered around

hinl nn array of legal talent. who by various court processes blocked the efforts of tho New York State repre- sentatives, headed by William Travers Jerome, his prosecutor at the time he- was tried for the murder of Stanford White. While the legal proceedings were in progress the Canadian author- iitieg summarily decided the question by removing Thaw from jail and , thrusting him across the border in an I automobile. This was on September! 19. Thaw found himself in Vermont' and at liberty. A newspaper man who had followed him permitted him to use . his automobile and the two crossed the Vermont line into New Hamp- shire. Here Thaw was again jailed. He was taken to Concord, where the litigation decided against him to-day was begun.

Mr Jerome. who acted in the case

as deputy state attorney general, said to-day that as soon as arrangements could be perfected Thaw would be brought to this country and tried on the conspiracy indictment before he was returned to Matteawan.

MANCHESTER. New Hampshire.

Dec. 23.-Harry K. Thaw received without comment to-dey the announce- ment from Washington that the Supreme Court had reversed the decision of the Federal Court in New Hampshire which refused to extradite him to New York.

Thaw has been staying in this

city for the past three months. and on October 5, occupied a handsome house in the welt. end residential district. He visited- several of the churches on Sundays and frequently contributed ,to public charities. .Thaw paused the summer in the northern pert of the White Mountahis section. Although euieying appar-
