German Army Officer Tries to
Escape from England in Huge Trunk
LONDON. Dec. 12. A vigilant customs
officer at Graveeend today made a sen
sational capture of a German army of
ficer, whom he extracted from hiding In
a huge trunk that was about to be shipped
from Gravesend to Rotterdam.
. This trunk was going forward as ordi
nary merchandise on 'board ths steamer
Batavler. The customs officer became
suspicious, and gave orders that the pad
locks of the "trunk .be'cbtselM off. This
was done, and when the ltd w:ia removed
his. suspicions were .justified. A man,
later identified as a German officer, was
lifted out of ths box. He was promptly
removed to the Gravesend police station.
Bedding, - food and water were . found In
the trunk, and it was evident that the
man was prepared for a long stay.
It is believed that this officsr mads his
escape from one of ths Internment camps
in England, and it is evident that he
must have had accomplices la his effort
to leave the country hidden in the. trunk.
It is supposed that he was endeavoring
to convey Information to Germany,

Oormaa newspapers, which have . just
bosa received hers, show that the Ger
man Press, although prohibited strictly
from criticising any acts ot the govern
ment during the war. Is much displeased
by the sudden chsago in ths leadership
of tho German military forces. They stats
that Count von Moltke has 'been "po
litely sidetracked,',' as chief of the general
staff, and that supreme command' has
been given to "a war minuter . whose
behavior toward ths Reichstag In tho
Zabern Incident was Insulting."
In the short biographies of Major Gen
eral von Falkenhayn, which' ths news
papers are permitted to print, they refer
tn the most guarded way. to what they
term his failure up to ths present time
la the operations on the western front
"Von Falkenhayn was appointed tem
porary chief of the general staff on Oc
tober 28," says the Berliner Tageblatt
"He therefore has held the position 'sines
ths fall of Antwerp, During this period
have occurred the battles of the Tser
and DIxmude. In this serious tims. there
fore. Count von Falkenhayn has been
uniting all the functions which during
the ' war . of 1870 were divided between
von Moltke and Roon."
Papers latlmate Frletloo.
It Is intimated In these newspapers
that there has been friction between Em
peror William and Count von Moltke
owing to a difference of opinion concern
ing ths conduct of ths csmpaign In ths
west; it being understood that while Von
Moltke - favored - energetlo operations
against ths French center the emperor
wss strongly . inclined toward pushing
ths advance In ths direction of Calais.

LONDON,- Dec. S. This wag a cantonment one bad

man could give no help. I
"My experience," be spoke detachably, "is that
you'll find everything everywhere. 14 it any particu
lar corps you're looking .for?" i
"Not in the least," I said. !
"Then you're all right. You can't miss getting
something." He pointed generally to the north camp.
"It's like floods in a town. Isn't It?" 1
He bad hit just the word. All known marks in the
place were submerged by troops. Parade grounds . to
heir utmost limits were crowded with them; rises and
ikylines were furred with them; and the wnole length
f the roads heaved and rippled like bicycle chains
with blocks ot men on the move.
The voice of a sergeant In tho torment reserved for
sergeants at roll call boomed across a bunker. He was
calling over recruits to a specialist corps.
"But I've called you once," he snapped at a man In
'eggings.
"But I'm Clarke Two," was the virtuous reply.
. "Oh,. you are, are you?" He pencilled the correc
tion with a scornful mouth, out of one corner of which
he added, "'Sloppy' Clarke! You're all Clarkes or
Watsons today. You don't know your own names. You
don't know what corps, you're In. (This wag bitterly
unjust, for they were squinting up at a biplane). You
don't know anything."
"Mm!" said tbe military policeman. "The more a
man has in his bead, the harder It la for him to man
age his carcass at first I'm glad I never was a ser
geant. Listen to the Instructors! Like rooks. Isn't U?
There was half a mile ot sergeants and instructors,
varied by company officers, all at work on tbe ready
material, under their hands. They grunted, barked,
yapped, expostulated and. In rare cases, purred as the
lines broke and formed and wheeled over the vast
maidan. '
When companies numbered off one could hear tbe
tone and accent of every walk in life, and maybe half
the counties of England, from the deep-throated
" Woon" fo the north to the sharp, half-whistled Devon
shire "Tu." And as the instructors labored, so did the
men with a passion to learn as passionately as they
were taught.
A Soldier's Hore Toe.
Presently In the .drift of the foot traffic down the
road there came another gray-haired man. one foot In a
gay slipper, which showed be was an old soldier cher

"Good?" said I. deferentially.
"Yes," he said. "Very good" then half to him
