"Oh, officer, thank you so much I set 'em all wild, and now," she added, turn-

British authorities, backed up by their French allies, have deirerd that
Tommies need not pay rent for whatever i?-aTters they nuty have to ccup

SEIZE THIEF IN
THRILLING CHASE

in Sensational Episode in
New York.

waiter and Is Nabbed in
Another House.
New York."Upstairs, downstairs
and in my lady's chamber" wasn't a
circumstance to the route taken by
William Watson, captured in a yell
ing, fighting, running, climbing, jump
ing chase, and charged with burglary
at the West One Hundred and Seven
ty-seventh street police station.
When Henry C. Sonnemann, saloon
keeper at Audubon avenue and One
Hundred and Seventy-eighth street,
returned to his apartment on the third
floor at No. 519 West One Hundred
and Seventy-eighth street he found
the outer door locked and strange
noises coming from within.
Leaps to Fire Escape.
Sonnemann broke in the door with
his shoulder and made for the bath
room. Watson, who had climbed out
on the window sill there, when the
outer door crashed inward, made a
wild leap for the fire escape, six feet
away and nearly thirty feet above the
ground.
