 AS A BROTHER
Maid Says Mrs. DenniStOun Told
 Her That

London, March 17.-A record crowd which damned the courtroom, was disappointed today when Lieu tenant Colonel Ian Dennistoun failed to appear to continue his testimony regarding the escapades of his for mer wife. who is suing him for mon ey allegedly loaned prior to their di- vorce.
 , It was announced that the defend ant was suffering from q sereve at- tack of scIatica.
 Marguerite Pryonnenc, at one time a maid in the Dennistoun household, took the stand instead of Colonel Dennstoun. She asserted that Mrs. Dennistoun intrigued with the Gen eral Sir John Cowans and Bolln at the same time.
 The name of the late Sir John Cowans, who was war quartermaster general of the British army, has been brought into the trial through the allegation Of Mrs. Dennistoun that she became his mistress at the suggestion of Colonel Dennistoun. She also confessed to intimacy in Switzerland with Bolin, a Spaniard.
 The maid testified that when Sir John Cowans was seriously III in 1921 Mrs. Dennistoun was travelling abroad with Bolin, who tried to pre- vent her going to the generals bed side. When Mrs Dennistoun finally decided not to go to see Sir John, the maid added, he sent her a message, "cursing her and saying he was going to the other world cursing her"
 The maid testified Mrs. Dennis toun told her she loved Mir. Dennis toun. but as brother rather than a husband.

strasbourg, France, March l7.-- Conflicting claims are made regard ing the extent of the Catholic school strike which was called in Alsace by the bishop of Slrasbourb in protest against the Herriot governments in- stitution of inter-confessional, or re- lgiously neut al, schools,
 The Catholic newspapers and authorities say 1t was success. while the socialists term 1t a fail uro. The strike was called for only one day yesterday, in the country and for three days at Colmar, where 1t is continuing.
 The Catholic newspapers assert that in the country the movement was from so to 90 per cent effective and that in some villages not a single pupil attended. The gov ernmcntal newspapers point to the smaller percentage of absenuons in the cities which the Catholics admit. The latter. however say that from 50 to 60 per cent of all the Catho- lie school children in Alsace observ- ed the strike.
