gomrey, Of Buffalo. N. Y, by a sentry
at Hamilton

at Hamilton.
The state department had under con-
s1deration today q mailed report from
William Allen, the American vice con-
sui, setting forth that the boat in
which Mr.. Montgomery was sailing
was 80 yards outside of the prohibited
limit when fired upon by a sentry. A
non commissioned officer and the SEN
try both have been ordered to appear
before a court martial, the result of
which has not yet been learned.
The consular report states that Mr..
and Mrs. Montgomery and two other
women companions were sailing to the
aquarium in Bermuda, one Of the
places frequented by sightseers, and
had approached the shore near a de-
tention camp for German prisoners,
merely to tack about. The boatman
had ported his helm and swung away
from shore when a shot was fired,
without warning, the report says The
bullet shattered Mr.. Montgomery
right foot. The foot had to be am
putated and Mr.. Montgomery is report
ed to be in a serious condition.
Regret for the incident already has
been expressed by the British ambas-
sador, but until a full report is. re-
ceived, it was stated today, the ex-
tent Of the reparation which will be
made cannot be determined by the
British government.

OTHER REASONS FOR
ARREST OF SWOBODA.
Rumored That British Government
Had Reason to Suspect Him.

Paris, April 2, $40 p. NIT is ru-
nored here tonight that later develop
ments lead TO the belief that the cause
for Swoboda being arrested antedated
the fire on La Touraine. The rumor in
official circles Is that the British gov
eminent had reasons to suspect Swo-
boda after certain unacceptable pro-
positions by him had led that gov
eminent to investigate Swoboda's
past. AS q resul of this investiga-
ton, it is stated, the British govern
ment asked France to take Swoboda
into custody when he landed. On as
count of some defect in the papers,
however, this could not be done.
1t is said that the present state of
the affairs indicates that the investi-
cation will result in further revela-
lions.

friends of Jesus. namely: To keep His
commandment, to do as He did, to
have love as did He. What then is
the direct message for US today?
1t is this: That the law of life is
to love; and the command is very
vital, inasmuch as each follower of
Christ should have love one to an
other, avoid anger and dissension
and have and exercise love. This
Jesus did; this he commands you and
me and every other individual who
knows His name, who believes in Him,
to do. by this shall all men know
that We are my disciples, if ye have
love one to another"

The soldiers were engaged in patrol
