remarkable case of lad eleven yeart

LONDON TIMES REPRIM MANDED
 BY PREMIER

P Londoi1. Aug! 31.=Preunfer Asquith publicly repr1manded the London Times in the House of Commons this afternoon for having published the Arnfens despatch from it's correspond ent Sunday.
 'eThe publication of this despatch,' said the premier, ''seens to me a re- grettabIe exception to the patriotic spirit which the press as a rule has shown up to the present, and tr:sst it will not happen again."
 Mir. Asquith opposed the suggestion to allow correspondents to go to the front, but admitted that the public was entitled to prompt and authentic information as to what was happening there, and said that arrangements were being made which he hoped would prevent recurrence of such an-i cidents.
 Reverting to the Times despatch, the. premier then said:
 Tt may become necessary to ask the House to pass some drastic Iegis- lation, which shall be very 1oath to propose until the urgency becomes ex trene.''
 The London Times on Sunday morn ing printed a despatch from sArniens, France, in which the corresp ondent took a very pessimktic view of the situation from the standpoint of the allies.

Desire To Appear Wealthy Gets Lemry
 Into Police Tolls

The desire of John Lemry, 72 Lee avenue, to convince his friends that the war had not depleted his financial standing resulted in his having a bad Sunday and near city court arraign- ment for check manipu1atfons. He reported to the Third precinct police station Friday that he had lost his pocketbook. It was found by Charles Brestrich, a rural free delivery car riert living on Holland Heights. He turned it over to the police, who, up on examining it, discovered three checks inside. John was taken into custody and turned over to Captain Of Detectives Arnold. His explana- tion was that he had not tried to pass the checks and did not intend to. Also that he had taken the blank checks from his brother and filled them out so that he could show them to his friends and make them believe he had money. Following consultation with Assistant Prosecut- ing Gray, John was discharged as there was no indication that he had tried to pass the checks.
