At Cleve they waited three Hours until the army officials got around to berg to Karlsruhe and while they were in the latter place two Russian spies who had been detected and caught were shot. Following the declaration of war the mobilization of the Ger- mans immediately commenced ‘and peaceful villages and cities were at once thrown into. confusion.

A short time afterwards they were put off the car and their baggage was again ex- amined by the army officials. After walking another while they finally got a ‘train and arrived in Amsterdam. Here Dr. Chase rejoineq the party. He had been arrested by the Germaus as a spy and as he was unable to open ‘the suit case or to establish his iden- tity he was thrown into prison and a day or so in a dungeon.

LACROIX 40 BROADWAY passed through loaded with refugees. A short while later another cattle train stopped and the tourists were told they might get aboard. They did so and at last arrived at Flushing, where they got a boat for Folkstone. From Folk- stone they went to London. Here they found things much different than in Germany. The'soldiers were marching gaily- through the streets and bands were playing the national airs. The stores were all wide open, ready for business, and there were excellent ho- tel accommodations. After visiting Chester and Holyhead the party ar- rived in Dublin. While here Miss Young met a former Norwich man who for nine years has made .his home. in California and who Wwas traveling with “his wife and family. After visiting _ various interesting peints in Ireland the party went to Cork. They experienced considerable difficulty in getting passage back to England as they had to have pass- ports and a telegram from the sec- retary of state in London permitting them: to enter England. They sailed on the New York from Liverpool on August 26 and expe- rienced a very rough voyage. There were in the neighborhood of 1,200 pas- sengers on board, iIncluding many prominent people, and also the mem- bers of the 101 Ranch show, which had been showing in London. Jn"er- der to accommodate the passépgers the ball room on the steamer was con- verted into Ded rooms. HAS ARTICLES LIKE THOS! STOLEN FROM FAIRCLOUGH'S William Nicholas of North Attleboro Brought Here After Serving Teérm in New London. & ‘William Nicholas who gives his age as 45 and his home as North Attle- boro, was brought here from New London Friday afternoon by Policeman Charles Smith and will be presented the city eourt in the morning on the charge of burglarly at the store of C. S. Fairclough on West Thames street, on the night of July 3ist. Nichdlas was arrested the next morning about 4 o'clo¢k in New Lon- don as a suspicious character, and he had just ‘completed serving a short sentence in New London jail on Fri- Gay and the ..orwich police were waiting for, him. ‘When He reached here with Police- man Smith, Nicholas had with him a small rattan grip, which upon exami- nation by Chief George Linton was found to contain a number of articles which would seem to make a complete case fastened on Nicholas by the Nor- ‘wich police as the/man responsible for the Fairclough burglary, although he has an explanation for the presence of each article of the lot. The man that burglarized the Fairclough store got into it by removing a screen from a window probably some time about midnight. A box of trick cigars was one of ‘he things reported missing from the store and was also one of the things found in the bag that Nicholas car- ried. There are one or two cigars of a special mark in the lot that corre- spond to cigars that Mr. Fairclough reported had been taken. Nicholas explains that he carried the box of cigars with him to treat his friends with. Half a dozen packs of a cer- tain brand of cigarettes are also’ eVi- dence that will be used against him, while another strong link in the chain is a quantity of pennies, about $3 worth done up in white paper rolls and tied up in a handkerchief. They correspond exactly to the way pen- nies done up at the Fairclough store, but Nicholas claims he has had them ever since leaving his home. and he brought them away from there, he says. There is also some chocolate candy such as disappeared fiom tthe store: What looks like equipment for bur- glar jobs which he carried with him, are a screw driver, a pocket electric flash - light and a gauze mask, that would just cover the eyes, and leave the rest of the face clear. Nicholas says he used to wear this at night-to keep his moustache In shape. Unclaimed Letters.

The Coffee held in warehouses in America is at the lowest ebb, and there seems but little chance in the near future to import Coffee in great quantities. ... Up to the present time there has been no advance in the price of Coffee in our stores, although practically throughout the country the prices of all foreign prod- ucts have increased tremendously.
