CANADIANS ARE GOOD AS
HAND TO HAND FIGHTERS
By AssoCrATED PRESS.

British Headquarters IN France.
March 5.-The Canadians have won a
reputation as good fighters in hand-to-

respect was lately demonstrated when
an expedition of twenty-five started
out on q trench raid and returned

At last the barbed-wire entangle-

aroused. Flares burst out all along

The Moewe's spectacular feats first
became known when the Appam was
brought into Newport News by a
German prize crew with a story of
daring that astonished the world.
Passengers told of her sinking seven
British steamers. Later she went
west to port at the Canary Islands
and it was learned she had sunk five
more British vessels. But the Moewe's
most spectacular feat of all was her
safe return to a German port through
the North sea, where British patrol
boats ceaselessly watch.

ATTORNEY GRIGSBY CAUSES
SENSATION IN LEGAL CIRCLES

Those attending the afternoon
session of the district court yes
terday were witnesses of a some
what startling episode wherein
Attorney Grigsby drew upon him
self the displeasure Of Judge
Tucker by insisting on instruct
ing a witness respecting certain
answers, in defiance of the instruc-
tions of the court. According to
the best information obtainable
the affair grew out of proceedings
in the grand jury room wherein
two witnesses, Chas. Mason and
A. Hanson, refused to answer cer-
tain questions propounded by the
jury. These questions are cur
rently reported to have been in
connections with the investigation
of certain gambling cases. Their
nature were apparently such as to
lead the witnesses into feeling
that they should not be answered,
for some reason and they conse-
quently refused, taking refuge il
the provision of the law which
allows witness to appeal to the
court for instruction in such cases.
On the matter being brought up
in the district court, Judge Tuck
er instructed the witnesses to an

WASHINGTON, April An
a reply to the American note OF
protest relative to the searching
of mails to acknowledgement coun-
tries, the allied governments
through Great Britain, have re-
turned the answer that they are
fully justified in searching mails
and will continue to do SO.
In extenuation of their action
OF holding up and in some cases
seizing mail parcels the allies
point to the frequent seizures Of
parcels post packages containing
rubber and other contraband ma
terial which, although ostensibly
directed to the citizens of neutral
powers, was intended to ultimate
ly reach the enemy The note,
which was delivered by Ambassa-
dor Spring Rice, calls the atten
ton of the government to the
manifest parallel between the
right to seize shipments of con-
traband forwarded by mail and
such as are being forwarded bv
means of neutral ships. The allies
assert that if they have the right
to search ships suspected as CON
rraband carriers the same right
