THREATENS TO KILL
 BOARDER ON SIGHT
Lee Street Man Declares Star Boarder Assaulted His Wife During His
 Absence.

Absence
 Threatening to shoot his star boarder, Tony on sight and to shoot to kill, Antonio Arpetro, who lives at No. 33 Lee street, left the police station last night in fury of rage because, he alleged, Tony had wife yesterday morning. As nothing has been heard of him since it is sup posed that Tony either heard of the threat upon his life and left for parts unknown or that peace has been de- clared between the two.
 Antonio left his home early yes- terday morning and as he does not return for dinner he knew nothing of the alleged assault on his wife until he returned last night. He at once hastened to the police station but as he had no witnesses the authorities there could do nothing but refer him to the prosecuting attorney. When he closed the door of police head quarters Antonio declared he would take the law into his own hands and would keel Tony" on sight.
 According to the irate husband, he had no sooner left the house yester- day morning on his way to work when the star boarder took a sudden liking to his wife and attempted to assault her. That she is in a deli cate condition caused additional fury to her husband

YPRES, Belgium, July 16.-The last
tenacious inhabitants of Ypres were
dragged from their underground ref
ugees and taken by force to places Of
safety a fortnight ago; the cellars
themselves had ceased to afford pro-
lection from the continual pounding of
the German shells. The town today
looks like an unearthed imitation OF
Pompeii; not one of its 10000 houses
is intact and not dozen of those thar
remain partly erect are repairab1e.
The ancient pride of Flanders, it It
ever rises from its ruins, must be en-
tirely rebuilt from the foundations. OF
the famous Hail. which three weeks
ago still showed semblance of re-
sistance, there remains nothing but
single little tower standing out
against the sky like a gigantic finger
raised in protest. The only part of
the walls remaining is battered
preached remnant on the side of the
Grand Place" Only here and there
is it possible by close inspection to
discover any traces of the details of its
former architectural beauty.
There were 10000 people here three
weeks ago and it was still possible to
enjoy cup of tea at the cafe of the
Grand Place" while contemplating
the agonizing "Halles;" today the only
living creatures that remains are two
cats sticking to the debris of their
homes in the Rue de Thourout. No one
knows what they live ON and the
British soldiers have been unable to
capture them.
The dead silence that has fallen
here is broken only by the occasional
she'll that stirs up the ruins, by the
German guns firing over the town at
Poperinghe, and by the musketry and
machine gun fire from the trenches
close by to the south. The silence Is
oppressive toward dusk when the ar
tillery fire becomes desultory.
Protected by the ruins, one may ap

LONDON, December 19.-I should like
to quote from a private letter which
has just reached me from Flanders.
The man at the front writes from
Ypres:
"Our division, the 9Th. which had
$4,000 to 10000 men scattered over, a
line of eight miles, held at bay for
nineteen days $4,000 of the pick of the
German army. We had so per cent
of casualties, grave or slight, but we
are as proud as peacocks, for when
we were relieved we had not lost an
inch of ground. You must remember
that we had been marching and fight

TRAVELETTE
St. Helena.
BY NIKSAH.

Before the Suez canal was built this
rocky, desolate island was con-
venient halfway house for the COM
merce to the far east, and the islanders
did a splendid business with the ships
cynosure of the modern world when
the English sent Napoleon there to die.
Now it is little but an epitome of the
majestic loneliness of his last days.
Seen from the ocean, it is but a great
rock wi,naut a tree or house in
sight, with walls so sheer and unbroken
that landing there is dangerous except
in the best of weather. AS you come
nearer you discover great cleft in
the rock, forming a narrow valley, with
steep barren cliffs, crowned by fort
resses on either side. and tiny town
struggling along a single street at the
bottom of it. This is jamestown, the
islands capital, and doubtless one of
the loneliest towns in the world. 1t
has neither street cars. electric lights,
telephones, a newspaper, or any other
modern convenience. The nearest land
is 1900 miles away, and that is the
fever-ridden coast of Brazil. Its only
connection with the world is the cable
line, which brings daily bulletin. and
coast at long intervals. The English
mail comes once a month, and then all
of the Inhabitants crowd on board the
ship to buy a glass of ale and stare
curiously at people and things from
the world beyond.
jamestown extends over : mile in
land, up the steep valley that climbs
TO the high plateau, which is literally
the roof of the island. AS you ascend,
the scenery changes with sudden splen-
fnr RI iSf of &c
of vegetation upon the island. After
you leave the arid and rock waste of
the coast, you enter first upon land
of frs and willows and English gorse
and heather. with gabled farmhouses
peering through the trees. Over the
summit there are sheltered valleys,
where the temperate zone merges sud
denly into the semi-tropic, and you are
startled to find yourself among bam-
boos and bananas. date palms and
orange and lemon groves, while pleas
ant-looking bungalows stand in gar
dens brilliant with camelias, fuschias
and roses.
But on your way to Longwood. the
last home of Napoleon. you leave these
pleasant valleys far below, and climb
to the windswept tableiand itself
There you are shown a one-Story farm
house, built in the form OF T, with
an arbor behind it, and a few stunted
trees scattered about the grounds. This
utterly devoid of charm-a prison and
nothing more. You are shown the fish
pond he built with his own hands, his
tiny drawing room. bedroom and dining
room, and the cubby holes in the attic,
lighted by little windows in the roof
where dwelt the eourtiers and generals
that followed him into exile In the
room where he died stands a potent
reminder of the great mana marble
bust made from the death mask of his
face.

SAYS SLAVERY EXISTS
IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Dean c. Worcester Regards Peonage
as the Greatest Practical
Evil There.

Dean Z. Worcester, former member of
the Philippines commission, told the Sem
ate Philippines committee yesterday aft
ernoon that peonage was the greatest
practical evil in the islands, and that
slavery still existed. He urged the COM
mittee not to attempt to eradicate polyg-
amy among the Moros by force. but to
allow it to die out as the result of friend
ly teaching.
Mr.. Worcester pleaded with the COM
mittee to save the non-Christian tribes
from determination by the Filipinos,
which he said would be threatened if
local self-government was granted, and
urged that the bill be amended by pro-
viding for a lieutenant governor for the
non-Christian tribes to be appointed by
the President and to have the power to
annul legislation touching these tribes
Strategical Importance Discussed.
Statements regarding the strategical
importance of the Philippines followed
a remark by Chairman Hitchcock that
some persons advocated American
withdrawal from the islands without
regard to the interest of the Philip
of involving the United States in war.
Mr.. Worcester declared it was idle
to deny that Japan could land an arm
ed force in the islands, and that it
would be impossible to prevent very
long the fall of Manila. The gaining
of the control of the Bay of Manila,
however, he urged, would be far diff
ferent matter, and SO strongly forti-
fed was. Corregidor that this naval
base should be able to hold out a year
before being taken.
Naval Station Needed.
1--WE need a naval station in the far
east" continued Mr.. Worcester, mot
only to protect our shores, but to carry
a war into land of the enemy and re-
quire it to keep it's fleet in it's own
waters. Until we were swept off the
ocean we must have station in the
east"
Concluding, he said if the Filipinos
who are now afraid to utter their true
belief as to independence should be
face to face with the United States
withdrawing from the islands or re-
naming, "the fate of Belgium would
influence them to implore this nation
to remain"

my whole time here is full Of incl

that his father was an enamel manu-

Il have had another excitement. I
caught a German who was IN the act
of cutting our barbed wire, which we
have for protection round our camp to
prevent being taken by surprise. He
begged hard to be allowed to go, but
you see what it would have meant. Had
he been successful in his attempt we
might have been annihilated."
Spies Everywhere.
A young Scotsman, a saddler in the
Royal Field Artillery. who has come
home wounded, said no one could real
ize what things were like at. the front
unless they had experiepced them.
Spies were everywhere, and the erratic
behavior of a windmill or a church
clock was a sure sign of their pres
ence. The men were soon caught and
paid the penalty. The Germans were
