Saturday for Prisoner to Escape. REMANDED FOR ONE WEEK BEFORE MAGISTRATE FARRELL IMPOSES SENTRNCE. « { Phillips 'Fobbled Into Court ' on Crutch--Suffering From Effect of a Stroke of Paralysis--He Had No Explanation to Make. Hobbling into the Police Court room on crutches, William Phillips, river pilot, on Thursday morning, be- fore Magistrate Farrell, pleaded guilty to the serious charge of having on October 30th unlawfully aided a German prisoner, Henry Muller, in escaping from Canada. He was re- manded for a week for sentence. Phillips, who was placed under ar- rest on Tuesday afternoon, i= suffer- ing from the effect of a stroke of paralysis and presented a pitiful sight in the court room. Tt was all he could do to make his way from the cells to the prisoners' dock. When arraigned on the charge he said: "Guilty, sir," in a clear voice, but had nothihg further to say. Lieut. James Graham, provost mar- shal, who is handling the 'case, and who made the arrest, with the as- sistance of Constable Earl Jenkins, asked that the accused be remanded. to jail for eight days. The Magistrate stated that he would remand the pris- oner for a week. Phillips and Muller were patients at the General Hospital. On Mohday afternoon they took "French leave" from that institution. Phillips, who knows the river well from his long experience as a pilot, secured a skiff at a local livery, and set out to take Muller over 'to Cape Vincent, hut owing to a big storm that came up, they were unable to continue their journey, and were compelled to stay on Wolfe Island over night, and also the next morning. The military and police authorities got wind of the "frame-up," and Lieut, Graham and Constable Jenkins went to the iuland and succeeded in rounding up the much-wanted nfem. Muller and Phillips were brought back to the city and lodged in the police cells, and later on Muller was taken back to Fort Henry. ----------cellaa-- {In Bivouac And Barracks Recruiting, while showing a fall- ing oft during the past two weeks as compared with the preceding two weeks, is regarded in military circles as fairly satisfactory for this season of the year. it 1s expected tnat wnen cold weather sets in, and it is too unpleasant to hang aroudld street corners, there will be an impetus to recruiting. This has been the ex- perience in past seasons, Labor, too, 1s not so plentiful in the winter., and rather than remain idle the indus- trious young man will enlist. One thing that the recruiting officer is up against is the disloyal action of some pa ents who allow their boys to en- 1st and them in the spring demand their release on the ground that they are under age. . The only way to guard against this would be to re- quire each would-be recruit to pre- sent his birth certificate, and it is not improbable that something may be done along that line. It costs the Government about $500 to feed, clothe and' train each recruit for six months, d this money is thrown away If atthe end of that time an unpatriotic parent secures the re- lease of his boy because he was not eighteen when he enlisted. There is now a militia regulation, which states that a recruit who has spent three months in a unit cannot be released because of his being under age. A test case is now being made of this regulation. The 230th Battalion, which is be- ing transferred from Ottawa to Brockville, probably Friday, will be quartered in the exhibition building, which has been fitted up to accom- modate 600 soldiers in comfort. Officers commanding units station- ed in Kingston have been instructed to detail their mail orderly to call at district headquarters at the follow- ing hours, mail or other matter in- tended for their units: 10 am, 2 p.m., 5 p.m. Lieut, H. Swaine, 21st Battalion, has been granted leave of absence un- til midnight, Nov. 6th. . * Five more recruits"hive arrived m Ottawa for Queen's Field Am- bulance. tty Walker, Renfrew, a news-|t r man,' is with Queen's battery, Wednes- rhich ngston on (Special to the Whig.) Washington, Nov. 2---Fhe re-open- ing of the entire armed rchantman controversy between this Government and Germany is certain, if it is prov- ed the British steamer Marina wis armed at the time she was sunk by a German submarine, statements of Secretary Lansing indicated to-day. Whether merchantmen have the right to arm for defence is still an open question . between this. Government and Germany, Secretary Lansing ad- mitted to-day. This question will be the principal one if negotiations de- velop with Germany over the death of six Americans on board the vessel, it was stated. While this Govern- ment has maintained the right of merchantmén to arm for defence, Germany has never admitted it. The question first afose when the Lusi- tania was sunk. : To War No More, (|Special to the Whig.) London ,Nov. 2.--In the opinion of the Daily Chronicle, it looks as if a recurrence of the submarine cam- i paign bore some relation to the agi- tation conducted in Germany by the Conserviitives and National Liberals on behalf of more frightfulness at sea. It is felt in England that Ger- many has decided to wirn no more vessels before sinking them, be they allied Qy-neutral.
