The Elbert County tribune., 1915-07-30

The next morning. with all the othei
curious people of the city. | went te
see the smashed houses, which were
surrounded by cordons OF troops
While / was there the usual cry OF
Spyi Spy!" arose The police arrest
ed nve persons, three men, one WON
an and one boy of ten or twelve years
Two OF the men were disguised as
women. 1t was dramatic moment
when the police tore off their wigs and
clothes and revealed the fact that they
were men.
Immediately the crowd broke out in
hoarse roar of anger Knives were
brandished and 1t was only with the
greatest difficulty that the police and
troops prevented the mob from fin.
ishing them on the spot
Renegade Venetian Shot.
ID the morning We also learned that
the engine of the second aeroplane
had been so damaged by the gun fire
that the machine was forced to come
down in the public garden at the ex.
treme north end of the city, near the
arsenal.
On landing 1t struck tree. The
pilot was thrown out and had both
legs broken, but the officer accompany.
ing him was uninjured. He was imme-
diately arrested and discovered to be
renegade Venetian, from a very
prominent family of the city. He for,
merly had been an officer in the Ital.
ian navy and stationed for several
years at the Venice arsenal. Through
fast life in the navy he got deeply
in debt, resigned from the service and
went to Germany, where he engaged
in business.
With the outbreak OF war he enlist.
ed in the German flying corps, and his
invaluable personal knowledge of Ven
ice caused him at once to be detailed
as observer attached to the Austrian
air feet designed to attack the city.
Within an hour after his capture he
was court-martialed and shot as a
traitor to his country. Before his
death he begged the officer In com.
mand of the shooting squad to notice
that he had strictly followed his or
ders, made no attempt to destroy life
or art treasures in the city itself and
simply dropped bombs upon the
arsenal.

WHERE THE INCHES COUNTED
British Statesmar's Remarkably Neat
Retort to Chairman's Shaft
of "Wlt."

Lloyd-George's wit on the platform
is well known, but here is one of the
neatest retorts he ever made.
He was addressing a meeting in
South Wales. according to Pearson's
Weekly. when the chairman. thinking
to Be witty at the chancellor's expense.
remarked to the audience that he was
a little disappointed in Lioyd-George's
appearance.
II had heard so much about Mr..
Lloyd-George," he said, that l nat
urally expected to meet a big man in
every sense: but, as you can see for
yourselves, he is very small in stat
ure."
Many an orator would have been
grievously upset by such an unfortu-
nate beginning to the proceedings, but
not so Lloyd-George.
u am grieved to find" he said, with
mock seriousness, that your chairman
is disappointed in my size, but this is
owing to the way you have here of
measuring man. In North Wales we
measure a man from his chin up, but
you evidently measure him from his
chin down."
After that the chairman made no
more personal remarks.
Speak but little and let that little
be the truth.
