After serving over a yeay in Fort Henry, W. Ripton, formerly of the 8th C.M.R., was given his liberty on Saturday afternoon by the Canadian government, and he went to Water- town, N.Y. this morning to take in the ozone of the land of his adoption. Ripton owes his liberty to the fact that he has proven that he is an Am- erican citizen although'a German, The arrest of Ripton in the sum- mer of 1915 created quite a sensation in Barriefield camp and in this city, He had 'enlisted in the 8th C.M.R., and frequent trips that he was alleg- ed to have taken to Clayton and other American points led the authorities and a citizen to believe that he was on mischief bent. According to the story that was, by Ripton on Saterday, the' i "convinced the authorities that Ripton was a danger- ous character to be at large. Orders were' issued for the arrest of the sol® dier, but he, in the meantime, had heard of the orders, and to escape in- ternment came to the city and got on the steamer America. He hid in the hold, but was found by the police and taken to Fort Henry. Ripton spake in the highest terms of the officials at Fort Henry, but he was bitter in his attacks on the Can- adian Government, which, he said, has shown lack of good judgment in interning harmless men. "Of the 350 pdd men at the Fort, I am safe in s#ying that no more than ten of them are of a calibe who would do harm to Canada cr the Allies' cause," Ripton said. "lI am going back to the States to complete my medical education.' Ripton claimed that he had been in an American university for three .jyears, and being anxious for medical experience _he joined the 8th CM.R. in the hopes of being later transfer- red to a medical corps in France. He was assisted by F. 8. 8. Johnson, American consul, in procuring his re- lease. For time Inspector Parkinson, Dominion police, has been working on his case. At Watertown Ripton will join one of the Germans who escaped from the fort some time ago. ] No Meatless Day For British.

London, Oct. 2A number of hos. tile airships raided the east coast of England last night. A Zeppelin is reported to have beem brought down. The Zeppelin shot down north of London was oné of the new type of super-dirigible, the largest air mons- mander of the Home Forces, nounced to-day. Ten Zeppelins crossed the east coast in last night's raid. Besides the one shot down another attempted to raid London, but was driven off. There were no casualties and no damage was done anywhere. This fourth Zeppelin raider to be shot down on English soil lately fell near a farm house north of London just before midnight. Crowds flock- ed to the scene to-day. The farm house itself narrowly es- caped destruction as the flaming air- ship came plunging down out of the sky. The farmer, his wife and chil- dren rushed into the cellar.. They heard a terrific smash, and rushing up stairs saw a great burning mass at the rear of the house. 2 The remainder of the raiding Zep- pelins wandered aimlessly through the eastern counties and Lincolnshire, dropping bombs promiscuously.

Washington, Oct. 2.--The German submarine cargo boat Bremen has been captured by the British and is now at the new British naval sta- tion, Rosyth, at the mouth of the Firth of Forth, on the coast of Scot- land, according to an apparently re- liable report reaching Washington. The source of the information was withheld from the public, but officials are inclined to give credence. Although how the Bremen was captured is not told, it is thought probable she was caught in one of the steel nets which the British Ad- miralty has been using for a long time around the British Isles. These nets are 100 yards long and 180 deep. v They are said to be 'strung with bombs which swing against a sub- marine's side when she hits the net, blowing her plates in. The same advices which reported the capture of the Bremen sald that between sixty and seventy German submarines have been caught in this manner. > WINNIPEG EDITORS' CASE, / Adjourned by Justice Haggart Until Friday Next.
