methods used on the battle field"
 From the Basel National Ga zette. this is taken:
 "The German morale will be irremediably shaken by the allied victories The belief in Hindenburg and LudendOrff ami mated the whole German pOpula- ton; it was the secret of its power. They have been defeated. The Germans have for generations been brought up in the idea that they are the strongest and this belief formed the basis of their conception of the universe. If they suddenly find out that they have been mistaken. it is just as if the floor that supports them gave way"

The fighting was as ferocious as any of the war and increased in intensity as the British battled their way for ward, meeting the ever-grOwing resist ance of the enemy, which had put in every available man and was rush ing up reserves at the rear.
 Thousands of prisoners have been captured; the roads to the British rear are literally jammed with them.
 There has been fierce fighting in Dury, which was taken by the British and Mount Dury, which the Germans held in great strength, was stormed. The British went on after killing en- ormous numbers of the enemy. The Germans died fighting here as else where.
 Cagnicourt wood and Cagniecourt have been captured and Bois De Bou- che, to the southeast, is reported also to have been occupied.

AUSTRALIANS CROSS soMME

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Sept. 2, (By the Associated Press, 4:15 p. m.)-Australian troops having crossed the Somme, capturing Peronne, are mopping it up. During the mopping up there has been brisk street fighting. They have captured other towns and positions and one force is pushing northward astride the canal Du. Nord. At last reports it had reached Alloines on the east side of the canal and the high ground op- posite on the west bank.
 The canal Du Nord constitutes an other boche defense system and the British along this waterway have kill ed an enormous number of Germans who seem to have been packed into this locality.
 Another force is pushing eastward, following the course of the Cologne river from Peronne. More of the Pe- ronne-Bapaume road has been taken.
 There has been heavy fighting in Sailly-Saillisel where 100 prisoners were taken and another large group of Germans killed by the British. Other forces are pushing forward down the Hirondelle valley and are close to Mo reuil which also is being approached from the north of Longatte. This force is engaged in overcoming heavy re- sistance.
 Early this morning the British be- gan operating in the arc northeast of Hendecourt. After three counter at tacks on the town had been smother ed the British attacked headquarters and the Chateau from which seventy prisoners including a battalion com mander and his complete staff were taken.
 So swiftly did the Britisch advance that at one point in the recent fight ing a complete horse ambulance. in- cluding two doctors and $50 prisoners were taken. At one place a British officer with one man mOmbed an en- emy trench and then advanced. Eighty Germans of the garrison surrendered to the pair.
 The effects of the recent entente al lied artillery fire are shown in an order signed by General Ludendorf which also apparently discloses a shortage of German artillery. General Ludendorf says that during one month the allied shell fire destroyed 13 per cent of the German guns in action. He directs that strORg counter battery measures be taken.

ORR RECEIVES
 EIGHT MONTHS

At two o'clock yesterday afternoon in the district court sentence was passed upon Earl Orr, who pleaded guilty to the charge of securing money under false pretenses. In passing sentence the court made the statement that the prisoner could be sent to the penitentiary for a term of between one and five years, but there was also provision in the statutes that permitted milder sen tence to be imposed should it be deemed sufficient for the purpose. It was upon this provision that the court fixed the sentence at eight months in the federal jail.
 The lesser term was also given because of the fact that Orr had pleaded guilty to the charge and had saved the government both time and money. On receiving sentence two other charges which were pending were dismissed.

YARN SHORTAGE
 AT CHATANIKA

The Chatanika Knitting club met at the home of Mrs. D. J. Fairburn last Saturday and passed the hours in the useful occupation of making socks for the boys at the front. The operations of the club were curtailed to a large extent owing to a shortage of yarn. which necessitated them quitting work many hours before they were willing to do so.
 The last shipment of the club com. prised 21 pairs of socks. 4 sweaters and g bags. During the cold weather the club was unable to meet as for. merly. and all knitting was done at home. The next meeting of the club will be held on the coming Saturday at the home of Mrs. Jack Edwards. at which time they expect to have sufficient yarn on hand to keep up their record work.

WITS
 CAUSE GERMANS
 AID MESSENGER

LONDON, March 3.-Two German officers recently handled more than a dozen cases of confidential British dispatches, but they do not know it.
 The story is one of the many ad- venturous incidents which befall that select body of British public servants who wear a silver greyhound in their buttonhole and are known as Kings Messengers. Many people imagine that anyone who carries dispatches for the British government is a kings messenger. That is not cor rect; there are only five men who hold commissions in that service i; the others are merely Admiralty couriers or War Office couriers, and have no right to the higher title.
 The particular messenger who ont witted the two German officers was burdened with seventeen bags of dis patches for a British embassy, and he had to change trains at night at a station in a neutral country. His heap of baggage was near the sleep ing compartment when his train drew near, but there was no porter availa- ble He had only put five of the bags into the compartment when the warn. ing whistle was sounded that the train was starting.
 The messenger was in a dilemma. He could not let the five bags go without him, nor could he leave the other dozen on the platform. At that moment he caught sight of two Ger man cavalry officers. It was a risk to speak to them, but in his best South German dialect and with his face in shadow he requested their help. They were less naughty than the average German officer, and each lent hand.
 The last bag was bundled aboard with the train already in motion, and the messenger waived his thanks, then locked the door and collapsed on the nearest seat.

settled 1t would cause such disturb. ance in the school as to interfere with the performance by the students of their school duties and prove a serious detriment to the school child ren. From the standpoint of a school director I felt that a course that would avoid such result was the most desirable. called Miss Keenan to my office and told her that it was not practicable at this time for the school board to settle the vexed ques- tion of the existence of societies in the school or what relation It's mem- bers should sustain to the superin. tendent and teachers and to the school board, but that I was satisfied 1t was best for the harmonious con- duct of the school and best for the school children to restore the money to the fund from which 1t had been drawn. and this she did at once be- fore the newspapers gave publicity to the matter. Miss Keenan's posi-. tion was that the play was a school affair, originated and promoted by the teachers of the school and not the officers of any society. and it's finan- cial success made possible by the ef- forts of all the school children. and that the whole school should benefit by 1t, instead of the Ursa Major so- ciety using it solely for it's own pur- poses. In view of the fact that but one high school student sold tickets, and of the activity of the other school children in selling them. this appear ed reasonable, but viewing the situa- tion as member of the board I felt that harmony in the school and dili- gent attention to their studies was more important at this time than set
 tling problems of school societies. and believed. as had been assured, that a return of the money to the fund from which it was drawn would at once restore harmony and the incident be closed. A. k. HELLO.

NIGHT SESSION
 COMES TO END

The night sessions which have been held for the purpose of hearing on petitions and claims with reference to the receivership of the partner ship of Durand. Hilty & Junkin came to an end last night. The petitions of F. G. Manley and Chas. H. Ditt- mer were denied and the claims of John Durand were allowed against the partnership in the sum of $750.
 This matter dates back to last June. when John Durand brought action against Hilty and Junkin for the appointment of receiver. which appointment was made in the per. son of John Webster. This matter has occupied the attention of the court for three night sessions. The receivership of John Webster is in no wise affected by the settlements made.

PERlSICH RUNS
 AMUCK; NEARLY
 SHOOTS A MAN

About o'clock yesterday after noon the marshal's office was noti- fled that there was trouble at the Bridge Cafe on Garden Island. and Deputy Marshal Pete McMullen was dispatched to the scene to investi. gate. accompanied by Chief of Pc. lice Wiseman.
 Arriving there. they took into GUS. tody Dan Perisich, who had in his possession large pistol. and placed him in the detention hospital. On a further search. besides the pistol there was found a large quantity of cartridges.
 Perisich has for some time past been laboring under the haliucina. tion that there are several men after him who wish to do him bodily harm, and it is supposed that he armed himself for protection.
 Yesterday while in the Bridge Cafe he noticed William O'Connor on the bridge approach and men. toned that "there was one of the men that is after me-" Shortly after making the remark he disappeared, and soon came back with the pistol in his hand. and was going to take a shot at O'Connor through the cafe window. but was prevented from doing so by the proprietor of the place. In the meantime O'Connor was about to enter the place when he was told to go away, as he was in danger. Perisich then broke away from those who were holding him and, but for the prompt action of a bystander. would have accomplished his purpose. QConnor at once left the premises, and Perisich was held for the arrival of the officials. He is now at the detention hospital, where an examination of his condi. tion will be made.
 Last summer while working on a construction contract at Happy sta tion he was struck on the head by a wheelbarrow loaded with muck, which fell from height of about five feet. Since that time he has com. plained of having pains in his head and at times has been acting very Queerly,
