 The Germans attacked at three points and at one place group of II Germans got into the American trenches. It never went back. Nine of the IA Germans were killed, four are prisoners and one is dead of wounds.

 In the German book to which he had referred there was a note after each name indicating the particular way in which the persons could best be approached.
 ASTOUNDING CHARGE
 The charge against Noel Pemberton- Billing, member of Parliament, of li- beling Maude Allan, an American dancer. and J. T. Grein, manager of the Independent theatre, which is now being tried in the Bow street police court, arose out of the publication in Mir. Pemberton-Billing's paper Vig- ilante of an attack on Miss Allan such as was unworthy of any man to make upon a woman, according to the pros- ecution.
 The meaning of the passage com rlained of was that there was some connection between nameless vice and the performances at the Independent theatre. This was made clearer by . criptic reference suggesting that, if Scotland Yard were to seize a list of the members subscribing to the Indc- pendent theatre. there was no doubt they would secure the names of sev- Sfal tNtUSdnuS or the 4l,UUV.
 The explanation of this reference was discovered in an article of the previous issue of the paper in which the alleged libels were directed against whole classes of people not except ting the very highest in the land The, writer said there had been many per- sons who had been prevented from putting their full strength into the war by corruption and b1ackmail aud the fear of exposure; and that there were reasons for supposing that the Germans were making use of the most productive and the cheapest methods.
 The paper went on to state that these existed 'in the NSir," of a cer- tain German prince a. book compiled by the secret service from the reporcs of German agents who had infested England. spreading vice and debauch- cry. More than a thousand pages of the book were filled with the names mentioned by German agents in their reports. including the names of 47,- 900 Englishmen and women

 Mrs. Villers. under examination by MT. she had seen but which was not pro- duced contained the names of ex-Premier Asquith and Mrs. Asquith, Viscount Haldane, former secretary for war, and Justice sarling, who is trying the case against the member of Parliament
 Another witness, Capt Harold Spencer, said he was shown the book by Prince William of Wied in Albania. He said he did not remember seeing MT. Asquith's name in it, but declared the names of Mrs. Asquith and viscount Haldane were there.
 Both Captain Spencer and Mrs villers said they had been threatened the for mer after he had communicated the fact to the authorities. and MT Pemberton- Billing asked the judge for protection for himself and his witness. The judge referred him to the chief commissioner of police.

 Members of both houses confronted with the necessity of defending their seats must content themselves with long distance campaigning.

 The indications are, however, that the members irrespective of party affilia- tion, will remain on the job" The President, in an effort to compose their agitation. declared in his address that there is no politics, and all that can didate need do is the submission of his record of unselfish achievement for the country.

 Senator Bankhead announces that he will remain in Washington. He feels that his duty is here Some months ago, before opposition developed, he expressed a purpose to remain "on the job" Later when it was regarded as probable that adjournment would be had in July, he intimated a determination to go to Ala bama and mingle with the boys" When the President, however, asked Congress to remain in session, the senator very quietly disposed of his private plans.
 'I will remain in Washington, he said. "The people of the state know what I have done, and it is not neces- sary for me to tell them about it in per son. If they approve of my record, they will return me I believe that they would prefer for me to remain in Washington attending to the business of the govern ment at war rather than carry a per- sonal banner in a personal campaign in Alabama.
