HOMAGE is PAID TO
TROYON DEFENDERS
Half of Brave $50 Died in
Holding Up 10000 Foes
with Big Guns.
[By Cable 10 Tho Tribune. !

Paris, Oct. 22.--It has already been
related how CALAMITY the little fort al
Troyon defed TIE Germans on the
Meuse, but it is only just being realized
what service its garrison rendered the
allied forces.
For five days $50 of them kept 10000
Germans at bay, Notwithstanding an
awful pounding from the terrible guns
that gave their deathblow to Liege,
Namur and other strongholds. After
two days bombardment the enemy
tried TO carry the fort by storm. They
got within ten yards, but fell in such
numbers they had to withdraw.
The next day they summoned the
garrison to surrender.
Never" was the reply.
"Then we shall shell you with our
heavy guns until you and your fort
are but heap of timber" the Germans
returned.
They almost had time to carry out
their threat before relief came. When
the siege was raised practically moth
ing was left of the fort, while more
than half of it's defenders had been
buried alive in its ruins. The captain
in command was wounded in twenty
eight places. His lieutenant had his leg
blown away.
The Governor of Verdun went in per-
son to congratulate the garrison on
their magnificent feat, and ever since a
stream of generals and high officers
from all sides have been to see the
damage done. Every regiment that
passes has orders to halt and render
the garrison military honors, and the
defenders are being loaded with pres
ents in recognition of their heroic de-
fence

The British fleet when it went into

POLICEMEN SPIES
Two Sent to Paris to Bring
Back Alleged Thieves
Examined.

Paris, Oct. 22.-After having been
routed from their beds to be examined
as suspected spies, Lieutenant Michael
Summers and Sergeant Bernard Ditsch,
of the New York police force, have
completed their arrangements to take
Anotinette Bonner and Joseph b. Kis-
linger, alleged diamond thieves, back
to New York. They will sail October
81, on the Rochambeau.
An anonymous letter received at Po-
lice Headquarters denounced the men
as spies. Ditsch is tall and broad, and
both have a military air. Detectives
were sent to their hotel at dawn to ex-
anime their credentials. Being salts
fed at length, the French detectives
forebore to arrest the New Workers
and expressed regret over the occur
renee.
1t is not the first obstacle that has
been encountered by the New York
police in attempting to get their pris-
oners out of the country. Miss Bon
ner and her companion were arrested
last May. Early in June Lieutenant
Summers and another New York DO
liceman came for them. Legal proceed
ings dragged along until September 1,
when, owing to the outbreak of hostil-
tiles, Summers and his companion re-
turned TO New York without their pris-
oners.
The man and woman under arrest
are said to have obtained nearly $780,
600 worth of jewels on memorandum
before leaving New York. Partisan
tradesmen have made claim TO $4,000
worth of valuables alleged to have been
pawned here by the prisoners.

ITALY TO PROTECT
ALBANlA'S SEAPORT
Will Occupy AvlOna to
Preserve Integrity of
Country.
10y Gable to The tribune J

Rome, Oct. PA report that Az
Iona, the seaport of Albania, had been
occupied by Italy spread here to-day.
1t was denied, for political reasons,
but that the place has been or will be
occupied by this country is regarded
as almost inevitable. Five of the six
powers guaranteeing the independence
of Albania are at war and unable to
exercise any control whatever over AL
bantam affairs.
Italy is entitled to police the Adri-
attic and preserve the integrity of AL
bania, which is threatened by the Epi-
rotes. Failing to capture Avlona, the
latter have formed bands and are loot
ing and burning villages and massa-
cring Moslem peasants. The peasants
are fleeing to Avlona, where, homeless
and famished, they are being decimated
by smallpox.
Gun-running is uninterrupted, and
Christians are being armed against
the Moslems.

GERMANS ARRESTS

Inv cable TO The Tribune. ]

London, Oct. 22.-One result OF the
British governments new policy OF IN
generating all male enemy aliens be-
tween the ages Of seventeen and forty
five years has been TO load more work
on the American Embassy, which Is
charged with the task of caring for all
destitute Germans and Austrians IN
England.
The War Office, having finally found
room in the detention camps for hous-
ing the subjects Of the two Kaisers, the
Home Secretary has issued orders for a
general rounding up of the foes within
our gate" and in consequence London's
main thoroughfares to-day beheld the
unprecedented spectacle of scores OF
specially Communicated buses, police
patrols and other vehicles crowded with
Germans and Austrians, who week
ago were employed in hotels and else
where. The exact figures are not OBJ
tainable, but it is certain that many
hundreds of enemy aliens have been
seized in London alone, and all over the
country the same conditions prevail
Soldiers with fixed bayonets have been
detailed in great numbers TO convey
the prisoners TO camp.
At a conservative estimate 90 per cent
or these un1ortunateS nave wives anu
children dependent on them. So long
as they were earning wages as waters
or in other jobs their families were
protected financially, but nov these
women and youngsters are at the point
of starvation, and it is up 10 the Aus
trian and German branches Of the en-
bassy to assist them through funds de-
posted with Ambassador Page by the
Austrian and German governments.
The brunt of this heavy burden has
fallen on Z. G.. Lowry, who is in charge
Of German affairs. His Office in the
former German Embassy, in Carlton
House Terrace, is simply overrun by
panic-stricken women whose husbands
have been suddenly whsked away to an
Imprisonment for the duration OF the
war, and even the large sum left in Am
bassador Pages hands may be insult
cient to succor all the sufferers. Mr..
Lowry contemplates opening free res
taurant for Germans, similar to that
established by Chandler Hale when he
was managing the Austrian Chancel-
lory. and which now is known in diplo-
matte circles here as "Hale's Goulash
Parlor."

The British steamer River Delaware,
which sailed from New York yesterday,
was overhauled and forced by the
United States revenue cutter Seneca to
return 10 the harbor.
The steamer had started for Smyrna
and other Mediterranean ports by way
of Philadelphia. The Seneca was on
duty at Quarantine, and, according to
her captain, the steamer tried to pass
out without first receiving permission
by signal
A launch containing a detachment
of the Seneca's men chased the steamer
and overlook her in the Narrows. Her
captain and pilot were taken aboard the
/ Seneca and detained pending instruc
tions 20 the cutter from the Brooklyn
navy yard.
1t was assumed at Quarantine tina
the River Delaware had, in the opinion
of the Seneca's captain, failed to com

cording to Custom House officials OF

clearance papers on Wednesday.

PRESS IN WAR
OVER CHURCHILL
Course of First Lord OF
Admiralty Criticised
and Defended.
IBy Cable to The Tribune. J

London, Oct. 22.-An interesting
side light is thrown on one aspect OF
the war, from a British point of view,
by the criticisms which are being
made of Winston Churchill in one sec
ton of the press and the defence OF
the First Lord of the Admiralty put
forward in another section.
After the fall of Antwerp "The
Morning Post" printed an editorial at.
lacking Mr.. Churchill, on the ground
that the dispatch of an inadequate
British force of marines and naval re-
serves was bad strategy. "The Times
and "The Daily Mail" reprinted THE
Morning Posts" article. When the
Admiralty's explanation Of the reasons
which induced the dispatch of the
British force to Antwerp was made
public "The Morning Post" stopped its
criticisms of the First Lord.
"The Times" to-day returned TO the
charge, adverting particularly 20 the
cruiser Emden's successful raids on
British commerce.
"There is a general feeling" said
"The Times" that the Admiralty
isn't deVoting SuHlclenL lnOuRHL anu
attention to its legitimate RESPONSE
bilities upon the high seas. Amphibi-
Gus warfare may be attractive, but we
prefer to see the royal navy preoccu-
pied with blue water. There is a ten
dency for the Admiralty to be too diff
fuse in its activities"
"The Star" says:
1--WE resent these daily attacks on
the Admiralty because they are obvi-
ously inspired by somebody who wants
to get rid of the whole system by
which a civilian. responsible 70 Par
Lament, is at the head of a depart
ment. That matter has been discussed
over and over again, and the balance
of opinion has always been in favor
of civilian minister, surrounded by
professional advisers. The rule has
been abandoned in the case of the
War Office for reasons peculiar to the
recent history of that department.
1.-THE result of this intrigue, if il
were successful, would be TO deprive
the Admiralty of the ablest and most
devoted head il has had in our time
and to deprive the House OF Commons
of any control over it's fleet. We have
not started to fight against one mill
tarist tyranny in order to set up an
