A correspondent of the Central News Agency, cabling from Amiens to Loudon, relates the following: ~ Down one of the side streets a figure dressed in the uniform of the Fifth French Dragoons came toward me. As he drew nearer I thought his face was familiar. Then I re- cognized him as none other than Champbrun, a welterweight Ffench boxer, whom I last Saw in the ring at Liverpool fighting Young Somers in London and made something of a name for himself. : He had been w Away by 8 ith his regiment af Charleroi, Dinant ahd Namur. After we had shaken hands he remarked, "I've a story for You, I have just left two of your Highlanders who with sixteen other - soldiers were made prisoners by the Germans, but were not prisoners long, "They were captured about t ten days ago," he continued, "but escap- ed before midnight, after each had possessed himself with a horse and lance. This is how it happened. "The Germans naturally disarm- ed. the prisonérs, who besides High- landers consisted of some cavalry- men and, I think, some Grenadier Guards. "The Germans made them march for miles along the road, but the captors got tired first, and the Ger- man guards after locking the. Bri- tishers in a barn, fell asleep. "It was not long before a London soldier who knew something about locks had unfastened the door, and the eighteen 'men stole ont into the darkness, past the sleeping' guard. "They made their way to where the horses were picketed, and each man took a horse and helped him- self to a lance from a stack near by in case of trouble. ""Ehe noise they made removing: the lances awoke the Germans, and the "Britishers had time only to dash to their horses, leap on their backs and get going when a score of bul- lets whizzed past their heads. "But they escaped all right. More than once during the night they fell in with Uhlan patrols, but always defeated them." "How did the Highlanders, with their kilts, manage on horseback?" I asked. "Oh, they rode side saddle, like ladies," said Champbrun. The picture of the two Highlanders riding like knights errant, but like ladies, on German steeds andsarmed with the lances of the Uhlans is worthy of a place in history. ------------ HON. MR. DUFF'S FIASCO. Proposal For Shipping Unemployed to' Farmers, loronto, Sept. 25.--It would appear from the paucity of apswers received by the provincial government that the efforts of the department of agricul- ture to induce farmers throughout Untario to assist in relieving the em- ployment, situation in the large cities by. taking men on their farms for the winter at a nomhal wage with board and lodging is not meeting with any great success. While the farmers are willing engligh to take in the "hired man' at the" proper time and share their home And board with hini, the idea of assisting the "stranger" at this time'is not meeting with any great favor.' Officials of the depart. ment of agriculturd are not comment. b ing on the situation _at all, but the reticence to talk in addition to the admission that only a few score of answers have been received to the ciroulac sent out by the department is evidence of a sense of discourage- ment. It was frankly stated that un- less some relief was secured from this source the want and suffering in the targer centres would hecome more acute than the farmers themselves were prepared to realize. HUNGARY RETALIATES. Will Cancel British Patents in That Coutitry. Vienna, via Paris, Sept. 25-- In consequence of the reported action of the British pasliament in cancell- ing Austrian, German and Hungar- ian patent rights in the British Isles, the Hungarian cabinet has empower- ed the ministry of commerce to ad- opt immediately extraordinary rules regarding patent rights and {rade marks in Hungary. It is asserted that 3,358 British patients have been granted in Hun- Bary as against 280 Hungarian pat- ents Hated in Great Britain. Owing to the constantly inecreas- ing demands of the army for meat, Supply of cattle arriving in Viens #4 has considerably diminished, with & consequent advance in prices.
