It is @ letter from Paul Oskar Hoecker, a Berlin playwright, now serving as a captain -' the reserve. His play “A Nation in Arms” is being given at the Berlin Opera House. He describes a mission on which he was despatched to search for arms in Belgian villages in which shots had been fired by civillans on Ger- man troops. His instructions were to summon the villagers to deliver up their arms, ana tbat those in whose possession arms were found, after they declared that they had none, were to be instantly shot, Describing a visit to Jungbusch, he said that at one house were found an old man, @ woman and a girl of thirteen, “Then a terrible thing happened, A sergeant and a private dragged a young fellow out of the house, They hed found him hiding among the straw in the loft, He had in his hand @ Belgian rifle loaded with five cartridges.

LONDON, Sept. 2, by mail (United Press),—How the women of England are urging the men to fight for the Union Jack is indicated in expedienta | adopted in several towns recently to shame able-bodied men who have so far not answered the call. At Deal a group of pretty girls distributed white feathers to a crowd of young men, who accepted them jokingly as “favors” and wore them in their but- tonholes. They were greatly discomfited a Uttle later when the town crier an- nounced throughout the city that the men had been “decorated with the Order of the White Feather for shirk- ing thelr duty and failing to respond to the call for defenders of the Union Jack." A rousing appeal by a@ soldier's wife to the men of England has been made by Lady Maxwell, wife of Lieut.-Gen, Sir John Gre Max- well, former Colonel of the famous Black Watch regiment of Highland- ors. “Every man In Germany, every man in France, all—save the old and the halt and the ill—have risen to their country's call and gone forth to prove thelr manhood or to die,” she de- clares, “Will Englishmen alone ‘sit by the fire and spin? “Must we feel ashamed to be Eng- Ushwomen when we see you skulking at home, watching football or cricket matches, lying on the grass in the sun, safe and secure—as you fondly delude yourselves—while the manhood of Europe is shedding its blood on the battlefields?

Clark, a book- maker of this city, when arraigned to-day before Judge Julius M. Mayer in the Criminal Branch of the Fed- eral District Court pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with having, two years ago, engaged in @ conspiracy to make and pass counterfeit United States Treasury $10 yellow back gold notes, After hearing the pleas of counsel for leniency to their clients, Judge Mayer said that the trio, intelligent men, were “all in the same boat,” and sentenced each of them to a term of five years’ imprisonment in the United States Penitentiary at At- lanta, Ga. Assistant United States District- Attorney Harold A. Content told Judge Mayer the circumstances un- der which Capt. John Henry of the local Secret Service, two years after the passing of the spurious notes, worth $5,000, was ablé to clear up the conspiracy and arrest the men who made and circulated the false money. He said that White, who comes of a good family at Passale, the originator of the scheme, induced Downes, an expert photo-engraver and printer, to take part in the plot. Later on, Mr. Content said, he inveigled Clark to furnish the money for the pur- chase of the camera and printing press used in the making of tho notes, which were excellent imita- tions of those issued by the Govern- ment. The output of the plant, $5,000 in all, was circulated, Mr, Content ex- plained, without trouble by the de- fendants in Chicago, Scranton and this city, and the entire issue of the false money mill, located in Frank- fort street, was got rid of before the character of the fraudulent gold notes put into circulation was dis- > Special for Friday, Sept. 11th CHOCOLATE COVERED MAR- MALADE.

Followin® up ths In- formation, Capt. Henry questioned White in the Highland lockup, and, with the expectation of having his sweetheart put behind the bars for a number of years, White revealed the story of the successful counter- feiting conspiracy and promised, if necessary, to become a Government witness. Mr. confession named Clark and Downes, and when identified as passers of the bogus yellowbacks the two men broke down and told him they had been~ induced to take part in the nefarious scheme by their betrayer. They also produced letters which they had re- cently received from White urging © them to print more of the bogus treasury notes and threatening ex- posure if they refused to do so or provide him with “hush money.” Upon Interviewing the young wom- an in the case Capt.

She said that at their meeting two years ago White had given her a package to keep for him, and later, when the wrapper was ac* eldentally broken, discovered that it contained a ection of counterfeit yellowback notes. Becoming fright- ened, she sald she returned the.pack- age to White, who then informed ber that having knowledge of the con- spiracy, she was liable to be sen- tenced to prison for five years, while he was likely to get a fifteen-year term.
