NEARLY EACH OF DISABLED HAD
AN ARM OR LEG
MISSING


{ LONDON, March 6s-The first con.
signment of disabled German prison
ers to be exchanged for English
wounded included two officers and
s2 men. To spare the feelings of the
broken warriors, the arrangements
for their departure from England
were kept secret, and only a handful
of spectators saw them as they left
the Victoria station, London, or as
they embarked a few hours later
from Folkestone for Flushing. Hol-
land.
The men we're gathered from all
parts of England. Most of them had
an arm or leg missing. Every man
had to be carried on stretcher, and
British surgeons had carefully certi-.
fed that none of them would ever be
able to fight again.
From London TO Folkestone they
travelled in a special Red Cross am
bulance train, which was strictly
and had every blind drawn.
The patients were in charge of five
doctors and % Red Cross orderlies

tice Dunseath to keep the peace. has
SO far declined to take the action
directed by the court. Her husband,
Il seems. was the plaintiff in the ac.
ton which got the two women into
court. II seems that the district at
torney's office has acted peculiarly
in this matter in not opposing the
action of Justice Dunseath in placing
the plaintiif under bonds. 1t is said
that there is a political difference ex-
isting between the plaintiff and the

There seems to be some confusion

with regard to the christening Of ships
with champagne. The Outlook said
editorially: "The opposition of ex.

contends that inasmuch as "a bottle

one bottle that can never be drunk,
such an event ought to be regarded as
another blow to the consumption OF
liquor"

white-ribboners' viewpoint, said: "Our
friends, the 'nonextremists,' are taking
narrow and superficial view Of the
