CASEMENT'S BLACK EYE,
Most of the 250 prisoners who reached Cannon-street recently had been four years in German hands. One of them said that when Sir Roger Casement tried | to persuade them to join the Irish Brigade their treatment worsened each time they refused. Once Cssement got a black eye from one of our men who was promised the best of everything if only he would desert. The Government, the soldier said, had been making inquiries for Cor- poral Schuilbert, the head of their Kommando, who had treated them abominably.
AN EX-SULTAN DEAD,
The death is announced of the ex-Sultan of Zanzibar. The ex- Sultan Seyyid Ali was 35 years old. He was educated at Farrow and Oxford, and succeeded to the Sultanate in 1902. His con- tinned absences from Zanzibar and his ill-health led to his ab- dication in 1911, when he was succeeded by his brother-in-law, Seyyid Khalifa, the
present Sultan. He received from the British Government a pension of £2,400 a year, £500 a year as an allowance for his secretary, and £2,000 a year for the mainten- ance of his household.

DEMOBILISATION OF DOL THES,
The Ministry of National Service annonares that it is res ponsible for the demobilisation of the civilian doctors serving as medical officers in the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force. Until the general demi bilisation of the forces begins the namber uf me lical officers to be demobilised must remain strictly limited, and the first to be demobilised will be those who are required in the districts where there is the greatest shortage of doctors. In order that every case may be fully considered, the necessary
