.MlL ARY COURTS
 KEPT BUSY WITH
 VARIETY OF CASES

Paris, Feb. 2s.-so far as the pub lie knows. the military courts have thus far had few sensational cases. In view of the frequency of spy stories. many people are astonished not to hear every day or so of a traitor or 8 foreign spy being con- .demned to death. As a rule these cases are handled by drun-AeAd court martial. and the culprit has a-I- ready been shot before the story of his exploits reaches the public if the story is true. It is more the routine business with which the regular sit tings Of the court martial have to do. Desertions, dfsrespect to su- periors, aggression of all sorts and misdemeanors make up the calendar
 A class of cases that is common Is like that of Ahdallalh ben Said Yahion, Algerian riflsfnans who fell a victim to the warm Hospitality of Paris. Recovering from a. wound, ne was. ordered to- rsjoin his regiment near MarseiIles He had never seen Paris and so many people shoyVered things upon him he thought it was . pity to leave. He lived like a price six weeks without spending a. sou; when finally caught he had no defence excepting the weakness Of human nature and simply declared: ssI brave man-Wante fight.
 Abdallah was formally sentenced to two years hard-labor but the sen tence was suspended as it has been in many other cases. and he will be sent to the front
 Resistance of civilians to military regulations brings many cases like that Of Jacques Dellone into court De1Ione is harfIwordn8 man af- flicted with a peppery temper He pulled a hand-cart with an eight hundred pound load ID to the Bill lancourt gate, where he was stopped by sentinel tsYou can't pass here.'
 ..What!', cried Dellone, pafter pull ing this load a mile and a ha.lfs you want me to turn about with it. Not on your life. ts
 ou can't pass insisted the sem tinel barring the way with his rifle
 'sThey ought to put up a sign post so people would know protested Ds1lone.
 ou'd better see Gal1ieni about that,' replied the sentinel.
 ..Gallieni! Who's Gal1ieni don't know GaIlieni and don't care straw about him. know no one but Joffre.''
 DeIlone's excuse was that no one talked about Gallient and he did not know what authority he had to his credit.
 He was given five days in prison.

HORSE HOSPITAL
 SAVES BIG GUN

Insterburg. Ger, Feb. 2s-one of the best of the horse hospitals con- nected with the German army is that erected at this place, which has handled nearly two thousand horses since November and whose average number of animals under treatment is over 500. During the past month S4 horses were operated on for se- were wounds and s73 of these were discharged as cured and returned to service. Reckoning the average valus of a horse for army purposes at $37G, these operations alone have saved the war office authorities $2T,3TB. Many others were suffering from slight wounds which rendered them temporarily unfit for service and these also were returned cured to the army, while hundreds of the sick horses have gone back to the front.

 And He Still Lives

 From eight in the morning until evening he lay in the trench with out even first aid. When he arrived at the auxiliary hospital a thorough examination showed traces of 139 separate and distinct wounds.
 His case was considered desperate as he had lost an extraordinary quantity of blood, but he is now able to ge about on crutches.

 Police of Guests

Christiania, Norway. Feb. 2s.-The department of justice has issued an ordinance for the exercise of 8 wig orous control over foreigners and travellers. Every hotel and board ing house must file with the police within twenty-four hours a. complete statement regarding each new guest, giving full name, profession, nation ality, residence, reason for coming and where last.

 While these efforts to maintain a strict neutrality are maintained there has been some criticism of the Dutch government in consequence of it's ac- ton in keeping such large number of troops under arms. Premier Cort van der Linden; however, maintains that the position taken up has been the only correct one under the cir cumstances and declares that the government is sure that ''the Meth erlands will, neither now nor in the future. surrender her Tights to any one without a struggle
 There is a strong movement among a section of the people in favor of an appeal for intervention in the in terests of peace. There exists an ssAn- ti-War League which recently has displayed great activity and peti- tions are placed everywhere for sig nature asking the Queen Of the Meth erlands to make some move in this direction.

 to Darken Whole City

Hull. Eng, Feb. 28-When the whistles blow at night, street lamps will be switched off, street cars stopped and all citizens should run for their basements. Such are the precautions against German air raids made by the military authorities at Hull. It was at first proposed to cut off the electric system and the gas mains entirely, but inasmuch as the househo1ders promised to keep their blinds down this idea was abandoned.

s1O0 oFFERED FoR RIloon.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13-Unless some
healthy man about 80 years old comes
forward to claim the 500 offered by
John r. Thompson, there is almost no
chance Of recovery for Adolf A. Do
leys, 1915 Vincennes avenue. Mr..
Doleys has been i'll for three months
and his system has been weakened
by the continued loss of blood caus-
ed by a hemorrhage Of the stomach.
Mr.. Doleys is general superintend-
ent of the Thompson restaurants in
Chicago and friend Of John R.
Thompson. 1t is this which prompt
ed Mr.. Thompson to have the follow
ing advertisement inserted:
PERSONAL will give 500 to a
healthy man, about 80 years old. who
will give some blood to friend whom
the doctor says cannot live unless he
gets this infusion; this is urgent. Call
Monday or Tuesday after 9 a. m. Mr..
Thompson, $50 North Clark street. '
Mr.. Doleys has been i'll for three
months said Mr. Thompson. He
has lost so much blood that the ply
sicians say he has only about % per
cent Of the blood he should have.
The trouble, as l understand it, is a
stomach hemorrhage.
THE doctor says there is no chance
for recovery without the infusion and
that even then It is doubtful. But l
am willing to do anything I can to
make the infusion possible"
