From the Abendpost Of Stettin: A pic
ture OF almost incredible depravity was
revealed In the course Of the criminal
proceedings against Frau Helene Buffer,
who was charged at Cologne with the
attempted murder OF her S-year-old
stepdaughter
The woman who was in good circum-
stances, had taken a dislike to the child,
who was in delicate health, and one day
she attempted to stab herewith a dag
ger.
Subsequently she resolved to fling the
child in the Rhine. She wrapped the
poor girls legs in barbed wire, carried
her across the bridge towards Deutz,
and from the western embankment
threw her into the river. When her
victim rose to the surface this mon
ster repeatedly pushed her down again
by means Of walking stick.
Ultimately the cries Of the child were
heard by a postman and a soldier, who
at first thought the woman was try
ing TO drown a dog. They rushed to
the spot and rescued the child. who
is now in the inflrmany in a critical
condition. The woman was sentenced
to IS years penal servitude.

LONDON, May i2.-Shortly after the
beginning OF the present German often
sive on the western front some Ameri-
can engineers took part in what prob
ably was the most romantic and pic
turesque action Of the whole war.
II happened when the hard-pressed
British Fifth army broke under the
early assaults OF the overwhelming Ger
man forces, leaving practically unde-
Tended gap. Delay would have been
fatal, but there was an officer capable
OF meeting the emergency. This was
the general commanding the engineers
Of the Fifth army.
He hastily collected a force OF. Cana
dian and American engineers, and some
tunneling companies. With this emer-
gency, scratch army" ~ held the
break for two days. Fortunately, he
was given ample artillery support, and
he Communicated a lot Of machine
guns from a school in the rear. The
only trouble was that few engineers
know how TO operate D feline guns,
but he succeeded in fin jag some in
structors, and these da he'd up and
down the line, showing O e group how
TO load, another how Tsight, releas-
ing a damned gun here, and someplace
else persuading an enthusiastic crew
TO allow its over-heated weapon to
cool.
Was Bitter Fight.
II was a marvellous tight. The Ger
mans came on in seemingly over
whelming and unending force. They
would force back the thin line a few
hundred yards at one point, where
upon defending party would
dash forward, catch the enemy on the
flank and force him to retire. Thus the
battle swayed back and forth for two
days, at the end OF which time the gen.
eral in command was completely
knocked out from lack OF sleep, and
had to be carried to the rear. Brig.

Gen. Carey, however, OPPORTUNITY ar
rived on the scene just back from leave
and was able to carry on the defence
until regular forces came up and re-
lieved the battered but still defiant en-
gineers.
One Of the most exciting episodes OF
the engagements was the capture and
subsequent escape Of an acting briga-

story:
Twas up on the front line directing
some operations he said when the

for some reason did not take me to the

simply marvellous. Transport and sup

Escapes From Guard.
However, | soon realized that 1t was
rather dsgraceful for an unwounded
British ofilcer to be a prisoner almost
within sight Of his own men. My two
guards were rather poor specimens and
taking them by surprise l knocked
them both down and made a dash for
the line. But there were too many
German troops scattered about for me
to get through. Then l noticed big
German ammunition and supply dump
which was being studiously avoided by
the enemy because il was being shelled
by our gunpers.
II ducked down beside this, and
while the British shells were bursting
all about and the piled ammunition
was apt TO explode any moment from
fire among some wooden crates in one
corner Of the dump, the Germans made
things even more pleasant by sniping
at me. After about half an hour Of this
| managed TO crawl away unobserved
and finally reached our lines again
without a scratch"

Siegfried Paul London, an alleged American citizen condemned to ten years penal servitude in Germany. The German Government threatens measures of reprisal if Rintelen is not released or exchanged for Lon don.
 Tn reply, I have the honor to ad- wise you that this Government can not consider the exchange of Rintel- en for London, nor can it consider the release of Rintelen nor any in- reference with the due process of law in his case.
 Regarded As Threat
 "The threat of the German Gov. enment to retaliate by making Amer jeans in Germany suffer clearly i'm plies that the Government proposes to adopt the principle that reprisals occasioning physical suffering are legitimate and necessary in order to enforce demands from one belligerent to another. The Government of the United States acknowledges no such principle and would suggest that 1t would be wise for the German Gov ernment to consider that if it acts upon that principle it will inevitably be understood to invite similar reel procal action on the part of the United States with respect to the great number of German subjects in this country. It is assumed that the German Government before act. ing will give due reflection and due weight to this consideration
 q beg that you will be good enough to bring the foregoing state ment to the attention of the German Government. x
 Accept, sir, the renewed assur. ances of my highest consideration.

Kick Given Whiskey
 Barrel Violated Smuggling Law

Bangor, Me, Aug. 10-Just for rolling barrel of whiskey from one eide of a room to the other, Leonard J. Parent, of Fort Fairfield Aroos- took County, this week paid. a fine of $100 in the United States District Court here. It should be explained that the room in question was a bar room and that 1t was exactly astride the international boundary line be- tween the State of Maine and the province of New Brunswick.
 Parent is a railroad brakeman and a friend of the owner of the barroom that is under two flags. Hearing that the Canadian officers were about to.raid the place, the friendly brake man hurried to the rescue of a barrel of whiskey that he knew to be repos- ing on the British side of the bar room. With one vigorous kick he sent the barrel rolling to the Amer ican side, just as the sleuths of New Brunswick darkened the door.
 And that, of course, saved the own CT of the whiskey from going to jail and paying a heavy fine, the law be- ing very strict in New Brunswick also it saved the whiskey. But il was smuggling, and for that the jeal. ous American customs officials seized upon Brakeman Parent and had the law on him, with the result mention. aaH
