NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Judge Parry has just been
telling some interesting stories
of Daniel O'Connell, when he was
at the bar. Everybody knows that
his power of vituperation was, to
put it mildly. strong. and the
judge thinks ii must have been
the "reminiscences of this that
caused the old crier, in the court
at Ennis, to clear The court every
morning by shouting: ''All We
blackguards that isn't lawyers,
quit the court
The most interesting of the
stories however, is that of the
famous hat incident, which has
been told SO often. A prisoner,
whose name was James, was be-
ing tried, and the witnesses for
the crown had sworn to the find
ing of his hat in an discriminating
way. You are quite sure" said
O'Connell, when he rose to cross

GERMAN DEFENSE-LINE
WEAKER, SAYS WRITER
Triple Barrier of Trenches Has Passed
Into Allies Hands.
BY Q. r. BERTELLL.
international News seryfee,D

Paris. Sept III learn that at a
number OF points on the Somme the
Germans are now holding their line
with trenches hastily built during the
past few weeks, and that the triple
barrier of alleged impregnable
trenches. with their blockhouses and
underground forts, has passed into
French hands as result OF the grad
ual two months push. Gen. Foch's
guns are now flaying on improved de-
lenses of a much less formidable char
acter.
However, this applies only to a small
dispersed section of the front, though
they are rapidly extending under this
weeks advance, and sufficient proof
has been afforded that the steel WALL
with which the Germans have protected
their western front can he completely
smashed with a pulverizing gunfire
such as Gen. Jofrre has concentrated on
the Somme.
Asregards Germany's reserves, informa-
ton reached Paris that since his ap-
pointment as chief OF the General StafT,
Hindenburg has been unable to remove
a single division from the 12O that are
manning the western front. The bat
tie is making a tremendous drain on the
reserves posted in the depots Immediate
ly behind the lines, and many regiments
have had to be sent to the rear for
rest and reorganization after receiving
a bloody maunng in counter-attacks.
The latest figure of prisoners taken
by the French and British exceeds 5000.
Both north and south of the Somme,
the allies are dangerously threatening to
debouch from the great Paris-Lille high
road. The Germans have three bases
on which their Somme line reposes:
Bapaume, Peroune and Roye, all con-
nected with the Paris-Lille highroad.
