British Unroof Dugouts,
Drop Bombs on Germans
Protecting Sandbags Torn Away by Hand and Occu?
pants Below Blown to Pieces?Defenders Fight
Standing on Heaps of Comrades' Bodies.
;i<? OsMl lo Th? Tribun? 1
London. Aug. 1*9. A correspondent of
"The Morning Tost" at British Head
! ?juarters, tells in a dispatch of the re
.-ii ture of the lost British trencher at
Hoogo, which appears to have been
most capably and creditably accom?
plished. Officers and men, says the
correspondent, alike bear enthusiastic
? testimony to th.- accuracy and efficiency
! of the British artillery fire.
"The Germans undoubtedly were
taken by surprise," says the corre?
spondent, "and were almost all waiting
comfortably in their dugouts for the
bombardment to cease.
"The attack was upon them before
they realized that the bombardment
was off. In one of the dugouts a be?
nevolent looking gentleman in jtold
rimmed spectacles was found so ab?
sorbed in a work of philosophy that he
had apparently forgotten that a battle
was going on.
"The German officers barricaded
' themselves in their dugouts and de?
clined to surrender. Sandbags had to
he torn from the roofs of the dugouts
and bombs dropped in from above. One
- by one the dugouts and their occu?
pants were blown to pieces and the
passed forward out of the re?
doubt to the northwest and along a
trench which declined from it over the
crest of the hill.
"It was not intended to extend our
I line far along: this trench, but it wa?
not possible to restrain the men. The
trench was very deep and so narrow
that the bayonet could not be used, and
I all the work had to be done by bombing;.
The enemy who escaped from the re?
doubt had retired down this trench,
offering a despernte resistance and con?
testing every traverse.
"We had, however, at that moment,
rot only our own bombs but a consid?
erable number of the enemy's, and we
foucht him hark foot by foot, literally
with his own weapons. The slaughter
I in this trench was very heavy, but the
Germans suffered far more than we,
and as our men forced them back the
bottom of the trench was so filled with
dead and dying thnt the Germans were
raised up on the bodies of their own
men. and in consequence had to ficht
in a stooping: position.
"The Germans, to ward off the at
1 tack', piled up a barricade of their
dead to act as a traverse. Our men,
pushing; forward, pot to a point in the
slope where they could see a crowd of
Germans in the hollow below, ('nable
to reach them by any means them?
selves, they -ommunieated the fact to
the trims, and. a salvo of shrapnel swept
them out of existence.
"Meanwhile, on the right of the re?
doubt a trench had been carried as
far as an old crater which was filled
with Germans, apparently waiting in
reserve. Their position when our men
pained the lip of the crater was hone
less. They were most anxious to come
out and surrender. rliimhering; up the
sides in order to vield themselves. The
bulk of the prisoners taken came from
this spot, t'nfortunately, it happened
that when marching to the rear one of
the enemy's shells killed a number of
them, as well as some of their escort."

Yesterday and To-day
YESTERDAY o ?r sympathies were stirred
by distressing reports of unemployment.
Mills and factories were closed; stores were
discharging employees; thousands were out of
work. We promptly opened labor bureaus, and
created work where none existed to enable the
I unemployed to earn a living.
To-day, factories are working over-time; mills
are running twenty-four hours a day; stores are
stocking with goods, and it is agreed on every
hand that general prosperity is an immediate
prospect for this country.
But how have we been repaid for our sympa?
thies and our efforts? Not by appreciation, nor I
by gratitude for the change in conditions, but by
strikes and attempts to disorganize industry. II
Not wages, but higher wages are demanded.
All are familiar with the phenomenon that
brings increased wage demand with prosperous
business, but it were a pity that the burden of
widespiead labor troubles should be imposed
upon us at this time. Since 1907 this country
has been under a strain both economic and polit?
ical, now happily diminishing. It is high time for
al! to pull together, and to be grateful, not greedy.
Incidentally, just what conditions are to-day
is admirably indicated in the latest statement to
the Comptroller by the Harriman National Bank.
No strain on credit here or elsewhere; but de?
posits in excess of $18,000,000. showing sensible
1 economy and saving on the part of the people.

Mrs. Sarah Blumenthal, ninety year;
old, a widow, was found dead at the
bottom of an airshaft at 34 Wesi

morning. Every bone in her body
was broken.
Mrs. Blumenthal retired at about 10

She aroused her parents. Mi. and Mr?.
S'ilonion Shillon, who started a search.
After summoning the police, the
search was carried to the bottom of the
airshaft. There the body was found
partly dressed. Although the police
are inclined to think the woman might
have committed suicide, her daughter,
Mrs. Shillon, says her mother had no
cause to jump. She thinks she fell out

JAPAN SUSPENDS
GERMAN RIGHTS
Trademark, Patent and ?Other
Industrial Design Privileges
Taken Away During War.
Tokio, July L'.V The Supreme Court
of Japan has ruled that as a result of
the war between Japan and Germany
the international convention for the
protection of industrial property is
suspended in its operation. The prac?
tical effect of the decision is that
trademark rights, patent rights and
other industrial design rights held by
(.errnan subjects or German companies
previous to the opening of the war
are to be considered as extinguished
or suspended in their effect for the
time being.
The court pointed out that the on
vention for the protection of industrial
property, which was made in 1913, n
not be said to become absolutely : nd
permanently inoperative becaii.e of the
outherak of hostilities between Japan
and German**. It noted that ?e\eral
other powers are parties to th.s ton- ,
vention. However, as between Japan
an?! German?; it was proper o think
the convention la suspended in its oper?
ation from the time when war broke
out between them until such time as
peace shall have been restored.
The judgment of the Supreme ?"our*.
? rpreted as permitting the public
ike a free use of trademark; end
patent rights regardless of any rights
held by (ierman subjects or German
companies previous to the war.

German Attache's Son Stops
Waving Union Jack as Liner
Brings Him to Father.
John Costello, badly cut up by bul?
lets, bayonet and sabre thrusts, ar?
rived here last night on the American
liner New York on a little trip for his
health. He is twenty-five years old
i.nd has an exceedingly strong consti?
tution. It svas this remarkable tenaci?
ty of life that pulled him through on
the battlefield and caused the sur?
geons and his superior officers in the
British army to suggest a little sea
trip to help make him ready for more
fighting against his country's foe.
Costello thought it a good sugges?
tion, but he had no means of making
a sea trip, so through friends he was
able to get a place as a steward on
the New York.
"I got my beating at St. Julien," said
Costello, who was with the (?ordon
Highlanders. "They hit mi in twenty
nine places on the breast and arms.
It came rather quick when we closed
in on them in a hand-to-hand fight. I
lost a lot of blood, and the surgeons
didn't think I'd pull through. I didn't
pass out, however, and at the end of
two weeks, when I got back a little
strength, I was sent to a hospital well
in the rear, where they took good care
of me. The engagement was a savage
one, but we gave the enemy as good as
they handed to us. I saw about 450 of
our men mowed down in five minutes
by machine gun fire. It is not an en?
tertaining spectacle, this righting busi?
ness."
Another wounded traveller on the
New York was Lieutenant P. A. Curry,
son of the manager of the American
Line offices in Liverpool and Southamp?
ton, who had seen service against the
Germana in France. He resigned his
place in the local office of the White
Star Line to join the colors, and now
returns on leave to visit friends here
and recuperate. He carried his left
arm in a sling and plaster cast, his el
bosv having been shattered by shrapnel.
In .September, Lieutenant Curry said,
he would return to his regiment, the
5th Oxford.
