NATIONAL DEAF CLUB
QUIETEST ORGANIZATION
IN THE ENTIRE WORLD

London, July 20.-A club in which the
human voice is rarely heard was opened
in London last night. Without excep-
ton il must be the quietest club in the
metropolis.
As the name, National Deaf Club, would
imply. the members are deaf or deaf
mutes. Conversation is carried on by
oral or manual signs. and It Is fascinating
to watch the members gossiping with
fiickering fingers and pantomimically dis
torted faces. Even the solitary waiter
chef never offers an audible comment on
the weather as the waiting fraternity
usually do.
Six years ago the National Deaf Club
was started in a cafe, and latterly the
headquarters have been in Baker Street.
So rapid has been its growth that re-

A German policeman named Clauss.

been extradicted from England. CIauss
escaped from prison in Germany and
fed to London. where he was arrested
at the request OF the German authori-
ties on a charge Of theft.
When Clauss was surrendered to the
German authorities he was sentenced to
six years penal servitude for theft, and
to-day he appeared in a special dock
between two warders as witness
against Ehlers.
The trial took place in secret, as usual
II was alleged that Clauss and Ehlers

quarters at w!lheImshaven. Ehlers. be-
ing signalman. knew many important
secrets, while Clauss was accused OF
having acted as intermediary with the

Anti-military Demonstration Fol-

Parade.

Paris. July 2c.-There is much talk
about the flag incident at Lille, as
result of which several officers and their
wives were brutally assaulted. The ag
gressors are notorious arti-militarists.
and so have little, in common with the
great mass of their fellow countrymen.
This unfortunate affair arose out of
the rather imprudent interference OF a
young student, who, as a club was
marching through the street. preceded
by a small boy carrying the national flag,
went I'D to the child and steadied IL in
his grasp. as II was trailing on the pave
ment, saying at the same time, This
is the way to bear the colors" Men,

and after a hot alteration, actually
struck him. and when his father, Capt.

TO DEVELOP
BREST AS SEAPORT
Would Make French Port Main
European Harbor for Trans
Atlantic Traffic.

Paris, July 20.-Clause CasimirPer-
ier, son of the late President of the
republic. is at the head of an under
taking. which, IL carried out, should
be of extreme importance to French
shipping, and to the worlds shipping.
1t is one for making Brest the main
European harbor for transatlantic
trafic,
The natural advantages of Brest's
position are obvious. The port is the
nearest European point to the whole
OF America, Northern, Central, and
Southern. Its natural roadstead is
magnificent one, and could be made of
ten times more use than is now made
Of 1t.
If French shipping summons the en-
ergy to work Brest properly, the re-
suits may be far-reaching for the rest
of Europe. 1t is certain, for instance,
that nine-tenths of the North American
traffic for the continent Of Europe, and
practically all the traffic from Central
and South America, could be diverted
via Brest. IL Brest were made the
French Liverpool.
For the time being Brest is entirely
asleep. except for the naval arsenal.
and the raidroad service from Brest
to Paris is worse than asleep. The
distance is just 81 miles. and the one
hours to cover il. with a decent train
service, transatlantic passengers
landed at Brest, which is a good deal
nearer North America than Plymouth.
