ARRESTED JOURNALIST

FATE STILL IN DOUBT NATURE OF THE CHARGE (Received November 1, 6.45 p.m.) BERLIN, Oct. 31 The fate of Mr. Noel ranter, Munich correspondent of tho Daily Telegraph, who is under arrest, now rests with the legal authorities in Berlin, to whom the dossier of the case has been forwarded. The\' will decide whether he is to be tried and also, in the event of trial, whether he will be charged with espionage or high treason. I)r. Panter was permitted to see his brother Noel in the gaol at Munich today. He said afterwards that the prisoner was as cheerful as could be expected of a man confined in a cell 13ft, long by 7ft. wide. Mr. Panter said to his brother: " When they have gone through my papers they will be obliged to admit that my arrest was a mistake." ' GIRL WORKERS MARRY REPLACED BY HUSBANDS 100 CASES IN HAMBURG (Received November 1. 5.5 p.m.) HAMBURG, Oct. 31 One hundred newly married men have been engaged by the proprietors of a cigaretto factory to replace the girls who have just become their wives.

ORGANISED PEACE FIRST GREAT ATTACK VISCOUNT CECIL'S VIEWS LONDON, Oct. 31 "It is not the immediate threat of war that causes ns anxiety," said Viscount Cecil in the course of a speech at Oxford, " but the first great attack since the Great "War upon organised peace. I do not oppose patriotism, but it is a different thing to carry patriotism so far that you not only love your own country, but you begin to hate other countries." REBUKE TO NAZIS MUSSOLINI ON FASCISM A PEREMPTORY CLAIM LONDON. Oct. 23 Signor Mussolini's peremptory claim, in an address to Florentine Fascists, for historical priority and originality for Fascism, is interpreted, says the correspondent of the Times, as a rebuke to Germany for minimising Nazism's indebtedness to tho Italian system. The Duco added that any peace must conform with tho ethics of Latin stock, which three times in a century had pronounced—and would again pronounce — words that an uneasy world awaited. Press comments on the speech confirm the impression that not only Signor Mussolini, but the nation, is dissatisfied with recent home and foreign manifestations of the Nazis' policy. GERMANY DEFENDED TREATMENT NOT FAIR BISHOP'S CRICKET SIMILE LONDON, Oct. 24 "Although I have never been a great admirer of Germany, I feel we are not now treating Jicr fairly," says the Bishop of Gloucester, Dr. A. C. Headlam, in a letter to the Times. The bishop adds: —"Tho nations of Europe seem to be like a lot of schoolboys who arc playing cricket, and are angry with one of their number because lie has been indulging in bodyline bowling. They have lectured him and tied both his hands behind his back. "This discipline may or may not have been merited, but is it reasonable to expect him to continue playing under those conditions
