GERMAN SITUATION.
LONDON, March 14. Bale reported yesterday that in the National Assembly at Weimar, Hery Noske, dealing with the insurrection at Berlin, denounced the newspapers for inciting to pillage and murder, and the Independent Socialists for supporting them. He affirmed that the "hyenas of revolution" began their intrigues before martial law was proclaimed or a single detach ment of troops ordered to march to Berlin. He announced that the division of the people's marines which broke their agreement not to supply arms to civilians no longer, existed. (Cheers).

Mr. G. L. Jessop, the famous Gloucestershire and "test" cricketer, who captained his county eleven prior to the war, has intimated his retirement from the game, Mr. Jessop's fast scoring made him the most popular cricketer in England, and his fielding was worth going a long distance to see. His phenomer- al powers of collaring all sorts of bowling was never better exemplified than in a match between England and Australia in London, when hë scored * century quick time to win 2 match which the Cornstalks had regarded ·· as theirs. Mr. Jessop's cricket was unorthodox, but of the. sort that. never fails to arouse enthusiasm. It has been said that Mr. D. L. A. Jephson, the Surrey, ex-Captain, once temarked on seeing a batsman pull an "off" ball to the boundary in no stylish manner, "That's not cricket" The reply was, 'No, but it's four." Gilbert Jessop made countless uncon- ..ventional strokes in the course of his lengthy carreer in first class cricket. His place will be difficult to fill, and b's retirement a heavy blow to Gloucestershire.
