"The bombardment Of our position
began early on Monday and continued
all day as though the Germans intended
again to try an attack al night. which
has been their favorite time lately
Instead, however, the artillery fire fell
TO normal and we had q comparatively
restful time during hours Of darkness.
But as soon as day began to break on
Tuesday the bombardment was re
sumed and continued until 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. when the cannon ceased
and a thin line Of Germans, like line
Of skirmishers, debouched from Bots
de Chauffeur and advanced on our
trenches by short rushes.
I'VE held our fire and two more
skirmish lines followed the first. while
after the last line came three sup
porting columns Their whole force
was in the open and We had ample time
70 study their new formation before We
opened fire. There was a total OF

Sure He's No Pirate.

A trembling "Hcch der Kaiser" that
came from British throsts in the cabin
Of a British ship. is the magic phrase
by which that latter day buccaneer,.

his piratical seizure OF the Mstoppa

For moing picture purposes, Schil-
Ter l. so willing TO remain a PLAIN
pirate that any concern which wants

exclusive right 10 film him as he goes
through the motions all over again Of
capturing the Mstoppa, her captain and
her crew OF thirty.
But there the pirate business must
stop. When IL comes 70 courts OF law
the reel must be changed, and he must
be shown in the guise of pro-German
performing an act of war. This was
revealed yesterday when he was ar
raigned in removal proceedings on a
complaint Of Roger b. Wood, Assistant
United States Attorney. setting forth
that Schiller j. wanted by the Federal
authorities in Delaware 10 answer q
charge Of piracy.
Through his counsel. Joseph W.

Mr. Schiller admits that he seized
