OF Macomb county, was the question
argued before the supreme court this
morning Prosecuting Attorney Hugh

accused aldermen have the right TO a

exhausted; we want TO start the pro

chit court on the same basis as in the
Wayne county court" said Prescott.

Attorney o. F. Hunt, who represents
Aid. Gilman and the other accused

releases when requested by friends OF

which would indicate that the police
need not honor it, IL was a scheme
10 double-cross the people who came
for releases, and 10 make IL possible
for me 10 favor them, and at the same
time, secretly refuse them.
IL refused 10 enter into any such
bargain with the police, and told them
that | was not afraid TO refuse any
body who came 10 me for release,

justified. But when | do order re-

FRENCH HOPES
HIGH AS RESULT
Of WAR GAME
Experts Believe That Army Of
Republic Is Now Able to
Cope With Any.
Special Gable to The American.

PARIS, Sept. 27.-Experts who
watched the maneuvers in Southwest
France find cheer and comfort in the
brilliancy Of General Chomer and
General Paus in their strategy and
tactics, apart from faults of judgment
in handling their cavalry.
The commanders OF rival armies,
the red and the blue, seem to have
shown that France could hope great
things from them In a real war. The
intelligence OF subordinate officers
who were allowed unusual chances of
displaying quick decision and initia-
tive; the endurance and mobility of
the infantry apd the magnificent or
ganlzation OF the artillery also com
PEELED widespread admiration.
Last. but not least, the usefulness Of
aeroplanes has been demonstrated
At the maneuvers, which took place
in a region crowded with natural OBJ
stacles and calculated to test the re-
sources OF the ablest generals. the
achievements Of the French infantry
we're remarkable. They quite upset
the common superstition that only
men of Drawn and muscle count as
soldiers.
One regiment OF the line, the One
Hundred and Eighth, marched %
miles between a. m. and noon with
out dropping one man by the wayside
The Thirty-fourth division covered 4s
miles in SO hours and went on parade
with every man in place despite a
drenching rainstorm
The maneuvers have demonstrated
that the French army is a fact, not
dream.
