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."

l.icut.-ffoloitel ltonsset in the l‘etil

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
way to Connolly's early in the even-
ing he had stopped at Kelly"s ship
chandlery, the poet office, Jackson‘s
market and Moulton store, at the lat-
ter place purchaslng a pound of sugar. .
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

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.

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.

could be perfected Thaw would be
brought to this country and tried on

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-
ently unlimited treedom. ,the Matteo-
armies, recently effetrted between the
Vistula and Wurthe Rivers, have no
bearing upon a check that nlight have
been inflicted upon us by the enemy
In the course of a battle extending
over an enormous front. Such occur-
rencos in either direction are inevit-
able. Retreat. at one point is compen-
sated by an advance at some other.
"Thus, in the direction of Warsaw
the enemy is exhausting himself in
vain attacks on our Bzura positions,
uselessly sacrificing a considerable
number of troops.
“ The right bank of the Vistala has
been entirely cleaned up. The enemy,
after tt serious defeat In the region of
Myswa, was thrown hack upon his
own tt~rritor_v.
"in South Poland and in Eastern
Galicia the German offensive has been
stopped abruptly.
“ All efforts of tht- garrison oi’ Prze-
lnysl to force the blockade have been
vit-toriously ileff-sled.
“llnder the <'ircllmsta|n~es there
vnu be l\o question of allowing War-
saw to fall into the hands of the
enemy.
"The uniruths which thu German
General Staff are trying to spread may
find their excuse in the necessity of
giving heart to the German people
and of influencing public opinion in
neutral countries in favour of Ger-
many. '
" Neither the proceeding nor its em-
ployment is new. Tile civilised world
has been able to guage their worth."
