War Baker revealed today that he
has been officially advised of the re-

his attitude in the matter until he
has more complete details. AS far as
his messages go, merely the fact of

Three years ago Gallery, then

up Canal st. of this type of agents.
In his work he found that many of
the agents were working in cOnnee-

the agents are up to their old game
Following many complaints he de-
tailed Detectives yelling and HOff-

Gallery. These working men are

penniless. AS a rule they can't
afford to wait here and testify
against the agents. But for any

GERMANY WILL SEIZE
RED CROSS SUPPLIES
Says British Treatment of Such
Articles Forced Action.

Amsterdam, Aug 9.-The "Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung." of Ber-
lin, publishes a memorandum issued
by the German government which
states that, owing TO British treat
ment of Red Cross supplies. Germany
will no longer allow free passage for
such supplies. German naval forces
will receive orders to take such
articles for their own use when they
come within reach.
The memorandum of the German
government in regard to the treatment
of surgical and medical appliances
says:
Great Britain, although she had
originally assented to safe passage of
such articles, having declined to ac-
cept the proposals of the American
and Spanish governments, having even
refused to allow the American Red
Cross orSanization to dispatch them to
the German Red Cross Society, and,
having further declined TO listen TO a
protest from former President Taft on
the subject, Germany is no longer in
a position TO grant free passage of
surgical and medical requisites, COM
ing within the power of her naval
forces, as she has done up to now.

British Sweep Back Turks
45 Miles East of Suez

London, Aug. 9.--Pressing the advan-
tage won by the defeat Of the Turks
east of the Suez Canal, the British
have driven them back 10 line fifteen
miles east of Kata, about forty-tive
miles from the canal. The following
statement was issued to-day:
"Telegraphing at S:45 o'clock last
evening. the commander IN chief IN
Egypt reports that our pursuit OF the
enemy in the Katia district continues.
North and west the Turkish rearguard
have been pressed back, while south
the Imperial Camel Corps, by dash
ing attack. drove them from their IN
trenchments. We captured more pris-
oners. and the enemy rearguard has
now retired 20 about a line running
north and south through Birelabd, nj
teen miles east Of Katia."
The Turkish army which was routed
by the British at Romani, east Of the
Suez Canal, suffered terrible hardships
in the march across the desert, &C
cording to n Reuters Cairo dispatch
quoting stories of Turkish prisoners.
Lack of water was one of the prin-
cipal causes of the suffering of the
Turkish troops. In some cases they
suffered so frightfully from thirst that
they killed their camels and drank
the blood.
The prisoners say the Turkish losses
were exceedingly heavy, as they at
tackled in mass formation, in ignorance
of the strong defences of the British.
The devastating machine gun fire with
which the assault was met was the
first indication the privates had of the
task that confronted them. According
to one of the troopers, Turkish de-
tachment which surrendered first killed
their German officers.
