TRENCHIES AT NIGBT.

The management of the Red Cross, it is East of Ypres some pretty work was cat seni officially stated at Petrograd, has ried out by our howitzers and machine-examined s communication from Milau ro gung in co-operation. A party of about 50 Gormans led by two officers, clothed in khaki, was seen to enter the stables of the Château of Hooge, which stands about 103 yards north of the Menin high road, and preparations were at once made for dealing with it, Su soon as our machine-gum had boon trained-on-the doorway our howitzers opened fire on the building and drove out the occupants, who on energing were by a perfect storm of bullets. Twenty- Hoven were seen to fall, and many of the others were in all probability hit. It is vident that the practics of wearing uni- forms taken from the dead has become habitual among both officery and men of the German Army.

A. BIRTHDAY OUTBURST,

A special article which appeared on May is in military paper, the Litt War New, on the cocasion of the birthday of the Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, is illustrative, remarks the British Eye- witness," of the incitements issued to the troops:

A report from the chief of the medical detachment states that the Germans sentenced the unfortunate woman to be tied up to a posi in the trenches every night for two weeks. The Red Cross management has decided b complete the inquiry and protest strongly against the odious atrocities of the Ger mams.

FIERCE NEUTRALITY.!!

AN AMERICAN LEADING ARTICLE.

As a mudel of style, compression, and fierce neutrality. The Times reproduces the full tex of the principal leading article which appeared in the Courier Journal of Louisville on Sunday morning, May 26th.

It runs as follows:-

The Herr Doctor Dernburg's room is better than his company. If an honest Comrades, if the enemy were to invade our man he was a most mistakon man; if mere Innil, do you think he would leave one stonely an organizer of the German Colony in pon another of our fathers' houses, our America, and an agent of the German Spy churelins and All the works thousand years of love and toil?

Ho could and if your strong arms did not hold back of his countrymen in America. the English (God damn them) and the help no-chuse He has greatly hurt the Let him go and be French (God annihilate them), do you cause of Germany. think they would spare your home, and your dam'd to him, and now, as ever, to Hell loved ones?

What would these pirates from with the Hohenzollern and the Haps the Isles do to you if they were to set foot burg!". on German soil?

This outburst is rather' remarkable, inso- much as it is an exhortation to defend the soil of the Fatherland, not to drive back the Allies and capture Calais or Paris- operations about which we have; ap till now, heard so much.

Portuguese Captain Carojo, of the steanier Cyane, which was torpedoed and slink at the en rauce to the English Chan- nel by a German submarine at the end of May, and the crew of which was taken-off. by French destroyers, declares that when sixty-five miles from Ushant they were summoned to stop by a German submarine.

The Meirerandum quotes in full the Order issued from the Head- quarters of the Second German Army, a St. Quentin, From this Order it appears that the fire-squirts ejecting inflammable liquid on October 16th had just been intro- duced into the Army as a new weapon,

The captain, in reply to orders received on the evening of the 9th to hold the Lorette plateau and the line from Ablain to Carency, reports that the total effective strength of his battalion is one officer, two deputy officers, and 272 non-commissioned officers and men, and demands that the battalion should be relieved or that sub- -stantial reinforcements should be sent. On May 11 he complains that he has received nothing he has asked for, declares that it is impossible for him to attack, and describes the situation of his men as becoming more and more desperate in their mouse-trap," as he calls it.
