William Scholas is a staunch Ger man. He revels in reading of the eX- ploits of the Teutonic arms. The Hapsburgs and Hohenzollerns are ideals in his fancy. The Kaiser, ach! William would give his life for Will helm and so patriotic was he that he lad made all preparations to sail to the Fatherland today to take up arms against the Allies.

 Once in that condition William be- came abusive and when he visited Wahrenberger's saloon on Arch street he decided he would like to clean the place out Officer James Skelley was called in and Scholas at once mistook him for a leader of the Entente Allies and attacked him.

He was fined $10 and costs for drunkenness and breach of the peace tv Judge Meskill and after careful consideration decided that he would go to jail rather than to Germany and war.
 With Scholas when he was arrested was one Walter Travers, an English man who so far forgot his allegiance 70 Great Britain as to fly to Scholas' defense when the latter was placed under arrest. This morning after he had sobered up, he stoutly denied any recollection of attacking the officer in defense of his Teutonic enemy. He too, was fined $10 and costs.
