A later effort, told with due pathOs and dra- matic effect, concerned the loss of large American transport, which had been sent down by q German U-boat, with total loss of life and material. The rumor was common property, with, perhaps, the possible exception of the American naval authorities.
 '"ThouSands of Woolwich arsenal workers, unable to obtain food, were riOting furiously, and the troops had to be called out" was the preface to another. Inquiry showed the case to be that of woman of inebriate habits and revolutionary tendencies, d misapprehension with a local police constable and a sympathetic crowd, hungry and disappointed, supplied the necessary background and climax.
 Another case was that of two kiltie regiments. The - Highlanders, hold ing the left flank of big advance movement, were to have been sup ported at a. m. of freezing winter morning by the Black Watch. The latter failed to put In an appearance. The Highlanders, sadly mauled by shrapnel and machine guns, returned to rest billets at quarter strength and swearing vengeance dire. On the road the Black Watch was encountered. Forthwith the two battalions set about one another with their dirks and bay onetS leaving the dead and dying by the roadside in the hundreds. This story to the troops individually con- cerned proved extremely acceptable from its humorous element alone.
