Neither the navy nor the nation is
dismayed and the call on the admiral

The British public finds some COM

statement of the admiralty last night

THEFTS AT THE YM.C.A.

A Systematic series of petty rob-
berries that are alleged to have taken
place in the Y H. G. A. dormitories
during the past several weeks has
caused the matter to be placed in the
hands of Captain of Detectives, Arthur
McDufiie, who following d series Of
conferences held with Secretary Paul
Super en- Friday and Saturday, took
steps 10 set watch over persons en-
tering and departing from the sleep
ing quarters on the top floor Of the
Association building.
At ieast two victims of recent rob
berries have given McDuffies detailed
statement of their loss. The cases
brought to the attention Of the police
department have had to do with
thefts of money, it being claimed by
Mr.. Super that the coin was removed
from the clothing left in the various
rooms.
The officials at the association are
inclined to believe that the Japanese
employees at the building have had
nothing to do with the series Of petty
thefts but intimate that the petty lar
ceny may be laid to the door Of some
person visiting the dormitofies at q
time when most of the occupants are
away on business.
