r..1111 CONFESSED:DETAILS OF CHARGES OF
INHUMAN TREATMENT.
Germans in Custody in New York to
Testify Againse Others.
A despatch from New York says:
Complete confessions given in return
for immunity have been made by two
of the eight Germans recently arrest-
ed in the alleged conspiracy to place
fire bombs aboard munitions ships,
and they were on Wednesday after-
noon telling their story to the Federal
grand jury. This was made known
by Assistant Unibed tates District
District Attorney Wood, in charge of
the investigation of alleged German
plots. The two men are Capt. Chas.
von Kleist and Ernest Becker, an elec-
trician aboard the interned German
steamship Friedrich der Grosse, where
the bombs alleged to have been placed
on various .ships were partly manu-
factured. The others arrested in the
case include Capt. Eno Bode, Capt.
Otto Wolpert and Frederick Garbode,
employes of the Hamburg -American
Line. A ninth alleged conspirator,

comparatively trivial offences were
furnished to the Commons on Wed-
' nesday afternoon by W. E. Knowles,
following up his demand of Tuesday
for an investigation by the Acting
Minister of Militia, Sir Robert Bor-
' den. Mr. Knowles cited three cases.
One soldier who fainted under the or-
deal was "hung up" for being off
i duty, another for insubordination,
Viand a third for neglect to carry out
orders. J. H. Sinclair, of Guysbor-
ough, declared that charges of sim_
ilar brutal punishment of soldiers had
appeared in some of the Nova Scotia
j papers. Premier Borden promised
that a strict enquiry would be made
forthwith, and any officer guilby of
cruel or unjust treatment of his men
would be brought to book,

WEEK'S NEWS OF THE WAR.
The English cease was again visited by German warships on Tuesday morning. They were sighted off
Lowestoft by the British local naval forces and were engaged. They fought for twenty minutes and then
fled. Before fleeing one of the vessels fired into Lowestoft, but little damage was done. Two men, a woman
and a child were killed. Al, the sem e time fire was opened on Yarmouth, and one or two buildings vvere'"slight-
ly damaged.
About the sante time a fleet of Zeppelins made a raid aver the coun ties of Norfolk and Suffolk. This is
the region in which are situated Yarmouth and Lowestoft: Some bombs' were dropped, but a fog made it im-
possible for the enemy to get any accuracy of aim.
The British fleet shelled the sea coast in the neighborhood of Zeebrugge on the 24th. It is reported ..that
three German destroyers, after being hit, were forced to withdraw into the harbor.
Little opportunity is being given the eremy forces to concentrate in Egypt. Aeroplane reconnaissance
keeps the authorities advised of any hostile movement. During the week an attack was made on Quatia, but
the force used was clot sufficiently strong, and a withdrawal was necessary. But this was only for a day. -
Stronger forces were brought up and the enemy had to flee.
Canadian troops have been in action almost continuously during the week. In the neighborhood of St.
Eloi the Germans have been making frequent attempts to recapture the crater positions taken from them on
March 27, but the men froom. the Dominion have repelled every attack and caused much loss to the Germans.
In the neighborhood of Verdun the French are taking the offensive more and more. They are also proving
the superiority of their artillery fire over that of the Germans. There has been considerable fighting during
the week, especially- in the neighborhood of Dead Mans Hill, but the French not only successfully defended
that position, but even retook some trenches on the northern slope which had been captured from them some time
before.
The campaign in Mesopotamia gdves ground for anxiety. The Tigris is still in flood, and the advance of
the British force to the relief of Kul -el -Amara is delayed. There has been some fighting with the relieving
force, and the enemy have made great claims which have been discounted by the despatches of Sir Percy
Lake. The Russians, since they captured Trebizond, have kept up their advance westward along the shore of
the Black Sea. •
No sooner had the first Russians who landed at Marseilles got half -way toward the battle front than an-
other force equally big was reported as having landed there, boo. There is now no doubt of any intention of
Russia to make any peace before the Allies do.
MTN RAMON; ON THE VERGE BELGIAN COAST
SUNK BY MINE OF AN UPRISING AGN SHELLED

A despatch from London says: The
sinking of the battleship Russell was
announced in the following official
f
i statement: -
Russell, Captain William
Bowden Smith, R.N., flying the flag
of Rear -Admiral Fremantle, struck a
mine in the Mediterranean on Thurs-
day and was sunk. The Admiral, Cap-
tain, 24 officers and 676 men were
saved. There are about 124 officers
and men missing." Under ordinary
conditions the Russell carried be-
tween 750 and 800 men.

'The scream of shells and their de-`'
tonation as they burst inland was!
the first intimation the people of
Lowestoft had that for the second'
•
time German Dreadnoughts were off
their shores. The people sprang from
their beds, peering toward the sea,
where, looming through the mist,;
could be seen great gray shapes here!
and there picked out with flashes of,
flame as another shell came inshore.!
"The inhabitants scrambled into'
their clothes and, catching hold of
their little ones, hurried out, not in
panic, but out of curiosity, to the shore;
to watch and count the German shells.'
Seaplanes Chased Back.
"The enemy did not have his own!
way for long, The watchers saw Ger-1
man seaplanes, which a few minutes'
before had left the vessels, came hur-
rying back. The reason was soon
apparent. From the south came'
little clouds of smoke, drawing nearer

given as it was, seen that the smoke.

his course when he found that the'.
British force was not nearly equal tc.
his five great cruisers and many de-

"'Every moment we expected to
see our ships blown out of the water,'
said one of our watchers, 'Our com-
paratively small vessels were seeking
to get at close quarters to the Ger-
man giants and a perfect storm of
shells screamed aross the water to-
ward them, but whoever commanded
our ships had great courage.
Raiders Hit Frequently.
"'The German shells were falling
all around our craft but they did not
reply until well within range. Then
time and again they hit the German
monsters. Once we saw a volume of
flame leap from a funnel of one of the
great warships. Another suddenly
staggered but in a second righted it-
self, though we could see steam and
smoke coming from unusual places.
'Our ships were hit -they could
hardly escape, so thickly did the Ger-
mans plaster the water with shells..
The sea was so churned by the fast
moving ships and the exploding shells
that it looked like foam. Suddenly
we saw a aeroplane coming from the
north at a terrific rate. Whatever
message it brought the Germans turn-
ed tail and made off at high speed to
the nar'hsast. As they fled one of the
giants seemed in trouble. Our de-

'"The Bible tells us we should love
our neighbors," said the good deacon.
"Yes, but the Bible was written be-
fore our neighbors lived so close," re-

A despabch from Washington says:
Reports received within the past 24
hours at several of the European Em-
baesies here have aroused grave ap-
prehension in regard to the Mexican
situation. These reports were to the
effect that the Carranza Government
is on the eve of a complete collapse,
and that conditions in and - around
Mexico City are more threatening
than they have been at any time since
the overthrow of Porfirio Diaz.
