SECRECY. ABOUT THE NAVY.
It is comparatively easy to get into touch with military affairs in Germany, but anything to do with the Navy is more carefully concealed. It is now impossible for any neutral to get to Kiel or Wilhelm shaven. I heard of prodigious activity in connection with the Navy, though of what nature it was impossible to ascer tain. Submarines, with the exception of those of individual exploits such as Weddigen, bave ubriously disappointed the public.

(POISONED SPIKE DEFENCES.
A memorandum sent to Sir Frederick
Lugard, Governor-General of Nigeria, by en offer serving with the British Force in Cameroon, describes the surrender of Garua and its German garrison to an Anglo-French force. The memorandum, dated Garus, June 12th, and issued by the Secretary for the Colonies, states:---
The unconditional surrender of Garna and its garrison to the Allied Forces-- took place the night before last without any loss of life on our side.
After a very careful reconnaissance of the whole terrein surrounding the enemy's positions and having finally selected what we considered to be their wenkasi point of attack for our line of advance-we-commenced gradually sap ping by a series of parallel trenches nearer to the fort immediately to our frout.

To prevent the garrison breaking out. we had left a company on the hill at Bilondi--opposite Garun and on the other side of the Benue to watch the forts opposite their position, and employed our M.I. patrolling and watching the fords to the south-west-the French cavalry being employed doing the same to the

THE SYSTEM OF PINES.
The depredations that have taken place among the factories and mines of Lille, Roubaix, Brussels, Antwerp, Longwy, and elsewhere are, I suppose, justifiable. Months ago a German business man in formed me that, whether or not it was possible to exact any final rudemnity from Franco or Belgium, an intemnity was already being reaped in the wookly and monthly fines, in money ant kind, imposed upon various towns and by the wholesale removal of machinery into Gor- many, the seizure of food supplies wines, cloth, market-garden produce (so J open- ly in Berlin as "From Belgium), rare plants from the hothouses of Chent, horses, motor-cars, planus, and, in fact, everything movable.
Yet it is only just to state that there is a minority of German officers of the older. school who, so far as they can', rigorously stop and punish looting on the part of junior officers and non. In the retreat from the Marne certain towns were well treated by the Germans, who while the generala are paying, the officers of lesser rank were robbing,
go to the right place to ask such ques tions. I have nothing to do with such people as you. This is a case of Cor man harshness to Germans. The man had been browbeaten by his superiors all his life, and now the desire to browbeat others expressed itself.
One trembles to think of the attitude such men would adopt if they ever suc- cocted in their cherished ambition to land in England.

the Germans not only admit them, but rejoice in them. The Gorman attitude towards Belgium is ore of violent hat- red. For France, the Germans affect picy and regard. She they say, is the unwilling victim of England's attack upon Germany. Belgium was a fellow. conspirator with England. Every Gar man believes, or protends to believe, that any little unpleasantness that took place in Belgium may be considered as just punishment on the Belgian civil popula tion, and especially on the women. "The story ia universally believed in Germany that the women of Belgiam gouged out the eyes of German soldiers who had been shot in the back from the windows of houses in Belgian towns. At the begin- ning of the war English soldiers and officers were captured with pocket knives upon them having some sort of hook which is used in England, I believe, forremoving stones from horses' hoofs. The German soldiers really believed that such hooks were for the purpose of removing the eyea of the enemy.
