AN ESSENTIAL ENTENTE.

LONDON, September 21.

MISERLY MILLIONAIRE.

SERVANTS REVENGE.

ORGANISED NIGHTLY ORGIES. During the six months absence in Switzerland of their employers, Major and Mrs. Aderbolt, who are. Berlin multi-millionaires, the housekeeper and seven servants held nightly orgies in the superbly equipped rooms of the Aderholt Bat. The finest wines from ⚫the major's cellar were consumed and extravagant bills were run up at the shops where the major, and his wife had credit: The fat was ransacked to provide food, liren, and ornaments. The servants were brought to trial and alleged as an excuse for their conduct the extraordinary miserliness of Mrs. Aderholt, which Major Ader- holt himself largely confirmed.

A Hovas message states that answering M. Millerand and Signor Gioliti, sent a joint telegram at the conclusion of the Aix les Bains Conference, Mr. Lloyd George wired stating that he shares absolutely the conviction that the most intimate entente between France, Italy, and Great Britain is essential for the settlement of European problems and the inaintenance of pasce.

NIGHT OF TIKKUR.

REFUGEES FLEEING FROM IRISH VILLAGE.

TWO CIVILIANS KILLED.

Logoon, September 21. Men, women, and children wheeling their belongings in perambulators. are fleeing from the seaside village of Balbriggan, the famous hosiery centre, în consequence of serious disturbances throughout the night arising out of the shooting of Head Constable Burke. It is alleged that auxiliary police took reprisals and subjected the village to a night of terror, and burned down an extensive new factory, Incidentally: belonging to an English firm, and destroyed a whole street inhabited by working folk. Two civilians were killed and several wounded, including some refugees with bleeding hands and facts from flying glass and debris. 1-

THIRTY HOUSES AND SHOPS BURNED.

Altogether about 20 houses and chops beside factory were bumed

at Balbriggan last night. Fresh police drove through the town in lorries

their breakfast:

Although the fiat possesses four dining-rooms, the servants were fre quently given only potato peelings for The major often shared this fare. When some of the servants, half-starving, left, the major was constantly obliged to collect the house refuse and carry it to a dust- bin in the street. He was also fre quently forced to scrub the floors of the 20-roomed Bat.

It also appeared that proceedings are peading against Mrs. Aderholt for wying to smuggle German notes into Switzerland to benefit by the rate of exchange.

1. The court look, the view that the servants' orgies were an act of re venge for their mistress's inexcusable treatment and lightened the sentences accordingly.
