An" ex tremely large proportion of the pris oners were or poor physique, and many of them wore spectacles. It may nave Been due to the circum stances that they appeared to be in. a spiritless mood, but the impression given the observers was that such men could not possibly stand against tho Kind of 'men' the vessel had been carrying over to France since the war began. Wherever it is a question of men again men, the French and the Uritish will always win, according to tne Mount xciuple officers and crew who saw these German prisoners "The outdoor Germans, who were line men physically as well as good Germans, have gone long ago," said one of the officers yesterday. remain are the town-bred "Germans of the factory and office, who have never had the exercise habit beyond the military training.

The physical examination, which let many of them through, could not have been very strict." The Mount Temple, among the tens of thousands of soldiers which she has been the means of transporting to France, carried the 13th Battalion (5th Royal Highlanders), whiqh afterwards had so many, casualties The men were brimful of enthusiasm, and glad that at last they were being sent the front.

HAGKMAN TRIED ON TREASON CHARGE Austrian Says He Was Taken Across Border After Paying $15 'Albert Harden, a hackman of Point St.

Charles, was placed on trial in the Court of Sessions yesterday, before Judge Bazin, on a charge of treason, it being alleged that he aid ed enemies of the King to escape from Canada to the United States. Harden was first early in the summer, but at the preliminary enquete was discharged by Judge Leet, who held that there was not suf. ficient evidence to commit him for trial. Security was then given for' costs to take the case before the Grand Jury in the Court of King's Bench, and at the September term of the Criminal Court a true bill was returned against the hackman. When he was called for arraign ment in the Court of King's Bench a few weeks ago, Harden made op tion to have his trial before the Court of Sessions, and It was commenced yesterday.

Judge Bazin, after hearing the principal witness for the prose cution, adjourned the trial until Tuesday. Michael who claims to have been one of two men whom Harden aided to get across the border into the United States, told Judge Bazin how it was done. He said that he and another Austrian, named Pe ter were employed In the G.T.R. yards at Point St. Charles, but were thrown out of work early In the (summer.

They decided to go to the (United States, if it were possible for (them to get there. They had met (Harden six months previously. (through attending his dance hall In (Point St. Charles. One day they talk ed with him about leaving the coun try, and he agreed to take them across the line.

Scrlpka said that he and Peter, accompanied Harden, went to Knowlton, by train, land were driven from there into the United States. witness said that Ithey had paid Harden $15 for get ting them out of Canada, Peter, he (said, was now in Boston, nut he had (been induced to return to Canada and (was brought here to give evidence In (the case. When the case Is continued on ITuesday morning, Detective Crowth-ters, who arrested Harden, with two br three military, men, who were working on the case, will be called las witnesses for the prosecution.

This, however, causes no surprise In view of the prevailing ideal conditions tor grazing. High values have also stimulated the farmers to produce every pound of milk available. Colored continues to hold sway over white.

2,240 boxes of today's registration were colored. Proportionately, the regulars show the same high percent age.

On the curb the regulars, it is thought, went into the usual channels, and while 15c Is reported to have been bid, the general feeling may jnot warrant settlements being made as high as that figure in the case of lots going through on consignment. These will be matters for buyer and seller to tussle with a week hepce. Kingston, October 28.
