BREWING COMPANY IS
SUING WALTER MOISE
LONDON, Oct. 2. The correspondent of
the Dally Mail at Marseilles In a dispatch
dated last Saturdny, but which was de
layed hy the censor, describes the landing
of the Indian troops who, he says, are
all anient for the cause for which the
king and his allies rue fighting. He says:
"To see fully a score of transports glide
from the bav Into the dock and mnrtr .t
their appointed stations was an imposing
sight and at the same time a splendid
tribute to the perfection of British or
ganisation. Hut the grand spectacle was
yet to come. In almost as short a apace
of time as it takes to tell It the decks
of this wonderful fleet of shts were alive
with Soldiers und in a matter of a few
hours the trying work of disembarkation
had been completed without slip or' ac
cident.
"The French officers were amaied at
the remarkable smoothness with which
the operations proceeded and were not
slow In thoir expressions of profound
admiration.
"The voyage from India had been mads
under excellent conditions and the troops,
who literally leaned ashore, were fighting
men to the last ounce, hard, fit and
ready. Had the word of command "been
given to march straight' from the quay
to the fighting line they were ready
to go.
"Not a few of the Sikhs," lithe, black
bearded giants are deeply concerned to
know if I thought that the war would
be over before they could get to grips
with the common enemy and It was a
burden off their minds whan I assured
them there was absolutely no likelihood
of anything or the kind coming to pass.
Kallecloseoplc Scene.
"Never has the port of Marseilles, used
as it Is to cosmopolitan crowds and the
multicolored habiliments of Africa, wit
nessed a scene so kaleidoscopic as that
presented today by the defiling of thous
ands ' after thousands of soldiers down
seemingly numberless gangways and
along quays lit up by brilliant sunshine.
"All the troops are in khaki with very
little perhaps a green or white Inter
woven band In the head dress to distin
guish one regiment or rather' one caste
from another. Tho stuff is lighter In tex
ture and color than that used In the
equipment of the home army and imparts
a smarter appearance to the wearer.
"The white officers who are in com
mand .are of the highest type of soldier
and there was something noble and de
lightful In the officers walking through
Marseilles with their troops, enroute to
the rest camps, when they might well
have ridden.
"One very Important fact whinh must
not be lost sight of Is that this great
expeditionary force from the Orient la
thoroughly trained, according to the most
moaern ideas and equipped with first
class machinery of war. Everything h
been brought from India, cannon, rifles,
entrenching Implements, sleeping rugs,
tents and a hundred and one necessaries
' An Indian army, down to the Dray in

Pletnre Is Impressionable.
"The scene In town when th. tmnm
marched through to the different camp-
ing grounds were unforgettable. Every
man, woman and child In Marseilles
turned out and their Aumbers wr
swelled by people who had rushed in from
tne surrounding country districts. In
fact the streets were seathlng masses of
nigniy excited humanity.
The excitement of the hlfirh-Htruns'

threw sweet smelling flowers in their
path or pinned pink roses on their tunica
and turbans and even stuck them into the
Indians long hair. In response the dark
eastern eyes beamed their great content
and rows of white teeth flashed from
laughing mouths.
"By evening they were all encamped

groups of Marseillaise stood on all Vin

Education last July, In respect to the
charge, filed by three citizens of Omaha
against the principal of the Omaha High

the following statement:
In explanation of our attendance at the
trial we will say that 'iur attention was
called to the serious kiature of tho charges
and to the fact thai the hearing was to
be private aud the wltnessc admitted
and examined, separately. Knowing that
many women and girls, if required to ap
pear alone before a committee of men
to testify in respect to such matters,
would be greatly embarrassed and probably
would not have tho courage to slate all
the facts; and realizing lfw Important
the hearing was both to the public and
to the accused, we sought and obtained

Report of Three Women r
Who Attended School Hearing
permission from the Judiciary committee
, to be present.
Two of us were present at all sessions,
except one evening suasion at which boys
only were examined, and the third mem
ber of the committee was present at a
i considerable number of the sessions.
We agreed (among ourselves that, we
would wait until after the report of the
Judiciary committee had been filed with
the Hoard of Education and finally dis
posed of, beforo making any comment
on the testimony.
Had that report met with our approval
we should not consider It necessary to
make any statement, but as It not only
finds that the charges had not been s"-
ftulned by the evidence, but states that
"nothing was proved that would In the
least reflect upon the character, morals
or high standing of trie accused as a
gentleman and teacher"' we cannot let
It pass, as our silence would Indicate that
we agreed with the finding, which we de
not. j
While the evidence -wac not sufficient
to convict the accused of nny erlmlnal
act, and much of the test'mon wan ooiv
fllctlng, there, was a , large volume of
well-supported evidence not contradicted
except by the accused himself, which,- In
our opinion, clearly. established the fart
that the accused had on many occasions
been guilty of Indiscretions which should
not be tolerated In any .person holding a
position of trust and responsibility In
our public schools.
Considering the testimony as a whole
we cannot understand how it ran be
claimed that the accused habitually con
ducted himself In that manly, dignified
and upright manner so essential in every
teacher and head of ' department If our
public schools are to maintain their high
standard. It niunt be bom in mind Oiat
the working force must be above sus
picion or the moral tone of the schools
will certainly be lowered.
The subsequent dismissal of one and
the demoting of four of the teachers who
testified against the accused by a ma
jority of the teachers' committee of the
Board of Education, without the filing
of charges or the formality of a hearing,
compels us in Justice to say that, to the
best of our Judgment, the five teachers
who have been thus punished testified
truthfully and with the best of motives.
No one has questioned that all are wo
men of good moral' character, of high
standing In the eommui.lty and thor
oughly competent for the positions which
they have heretofore held.
