night from a source which inspires confidence
that the New-York Life Insurance Company had
received word direct from it's Berlin branch Of
flee that led the officials to believe that Germany
was about declare war upon China at once. The
report also said that the company was writing
unusual number of policies upon the lives

turned from a trip to Germany only the other

family would not disturb him. son Of Mr..
Mccall, however. told the reporter that his
father had been asked earlier in the evening
about the alleged report from the Berlin office
already referred to- and had declined to confirm
or deny the news. discuss it in any way.
The reporter next called at the house of Oscar
S Straus, No. % West Seventy fourth-st. Mr..
Straus, who was formerly Minister to Turkey
and keeps himself thoroughly informed upon
European affairs. is a director of the New-York
Life. Upon being asked if the company had
ceived news that Germany about to declare

then replied automatically: Il can make no
answer to your question: and no subsequent
importuning could persuade him to say anything
more definite.
William f. Buckley, of No. 40 West Forty

directors in the company but they told the re-
porter that they had heard nothing about the
