The arrest of Sir linger Casement on tbe charge of being a traitor caused Utile surprise, but tba sensational man ner In which it occurred stirred the entire world. Str Roger, under a military guard, la occupying the same apartment ia tba Tower of London in which Kart body, tbe German spy who waa executed in the early part of the war, spent tbe night before his execution. body was arrested in KUlarney. On April 14, when it was stated that Str Roger had been arrested tn Germany, be was actually aboard a German sub marine In Kiel harbor, which, tn com- pany with a hartnlnea looking trstrip strainer of comparatively email ton nage, flying tbe Dutch colors, set out upon the voyage which ended in weat Ireland ten days later. 20.000 RI flee Aboard. The tramp was a German veesel manned by twenty picked men of tbe German navy and commanded by a lieutenant, with a junior officer as sec ond tn command. Its cargo waa not of tbe Innocent character described by its forged manifest, but consisted of about 30,000 rtflee. machine guns and ammunition hidden lieneatb a layer of goods which tbe manifest declared as tbe vessel'* sole cargo. Tbe tramp steamship, with tbe sub marine generally close by. crept through the Cattegat. up along tbe coast of Norway, always keeping witbin territorial waters The Journey waa made at a leisurely pace. Both vessels struck north and west on a course which left the Orkney inlands, tbe Shetland islands and even the Fa roe Islands, far to the south. But a British patrol boat bustled up suddenly and demanded tbe reason for tbe presence of u peaceful Dutch trader so far north. Tbe Germans pleaded the perils from mines and submarines In the English channel as an explanation and produced I be ship's papers, all of which were tn per fect order. There wax nothing warlike about the aiitp, and of course there was no sign of the convoying submarine, which submerged when the British |>a- trol was sighted. Even the tramp's crew wax not suspicious looking. Maliy s(x>kn English, expressing sympathy for the allied cause mid the hope that they would not meet a ruthless U boat. Tbe vessel was allowed to proceed Once th® British patrol boat had dis appeared the tramp steamer's course wns shaped southward, and liefore long north Ireland waa sighted. Again the pace wns letsurely. The “Dutchman” kept clone to the coast. Huddenly another British patrol boat apiienred. A shot was fired across tbe tramp steamer's bows, and the per emptory signal “I am boardlug you” was hoisted. Then the tramp was or dered to accompany the patrol. After some distance had beeu covered the patrol sent armed boats for the crew. The "Dutch” crew then confessed that they were German navy men. Their ■hip, which they had just scuttled, was a small auxiliary of the kaiser's fleet, intent upon running guns to Ireland. A boat which did not belong to the ■unken vessel also was found. It waa a collapsible of the pattern carried by Gentian submarines. In It were two men, one of whom admitted that be was Sir Roger Casement He and his companion, two officer* and twenty men of the crew of tbe auxiliary wars made prisoners.

This latest and perhaps flnal adven ture of Str Roger Casement Is an amaa- lng climax of the persistent efforts of this Irishman since the war began against the country which he had served as consul and consul general for eighteen years and which had hon ored him with knighthood. Previous to the opening of the great conflict In Europe Sir Roger was known to the world at large only through a report which he made In 1912, while consul general at Rio Janeiro, on the atrocities committed on natives by em ployees. ot a British company ooerat- Nominated for re-election by * plurality of 9615 over his competitor, Robert L.

Bomb* Carried In Racka- The smaller bombs, up to about sixty pounds, generally are carried In racks underneath the machine, each held by a separate clip, which Is released by means of a wire carried Into the body of the aeroplane. The rack has to be so arranged as not to upset tbe machine’s longitudinal bal ance and to Insure that the falling bombs will not foul the landing wheel axle or any of the landing gear’s brac ing wires. The larger bombs are carried in a special fixture under the aeroplane’s body, and in some cases two may be carried under tbe body, with one slung under each wing, outside the line of the wheels. Tbe aeroplane* are equipped with a bomb sighting apparatus to let the op erator know the precise moment at which to release the bombs. Aiming a bomb from an aeroplane 1* vastly more difficult than aiming a gun, because it is necessary to calcu late not only the target's position, but also tbe aeroplane'* height above the ground and the speed at which it ia moving. Tbe gun. too. needs only to be point ed In the right direction, while th* whole aeroplane has to be maneuvered into the correct position if the bomb is to hit its mark. Nevertheless, bomb sights have been so ingeniously developed as to give ex cellent results. Raid* Occur About Dawn. Air craft raids are generally timed to reach their objectives about dawn, partly to allow the heavily laden ma chines to pass the enemy's lines fairly low down in the dark, thus avoiding loss of time in climbing over their own territory, and partly to make it hard for the enemy to determine the raider’s course. Naturally, flying in the dark, the pilots can keep only a compass course. Furthermore, they cannot see the horizon, and as the human sense of balance ia Insufficient to enable them to maintain even keels, inclinometer* have to be provided. There are also petrol and oil gauges, clocks to show how long the machines have been In the air, speed indicator* and small electric lights to let the aviators know If anything goes wrong in the darkness. Some aeroplane* are built to be in herently stable, but this quality of un- capelzablllty has two disadvantage*: First—The shape necessitated by such a design la such that the ma chine absorbs more power than th* ordinary type. 8econd.—The machine answers the pilot's control sluggishly, and if it take* a bad position near th* ground it Is difficult to get out a fact which has been responsible for several serious mishaps. There are Indications that future night flying will be facilitated by use of tbe mechanically operated gyro scope control, an apparatus Invented In America, which can be switched off just on leaving the ground or landing, enabling the pilot temporarily to take full personal charge of hi* machine^ Granta Paas ia to have a new sawmill of 50,000 ft. capacity.
