BEEN ROBBED, AND HE
SWOONED.

William McKinn Marriott. Jr., of
Barton Heights, walked into the
Kuester's drug store at Fifth and
louisiana streets. Fulton. last night
and after announcing that he had been
held up and robbed and later knocked
In the head, keeled over on the floor
and lay practically unconscious.
The surprised druggist summoned
DR.. Williamson, who lived next door,
and the physician Immediately car
ried the boy to his home for
thorough examination. He sum
moned DR.. McI4ane to aid him and
notified the police.
In a few minutes Chief Werner,
Captain Sowell. acknowledgements
dozen other officers from nearby
points were on their way to the scene
of the reported crime. The boy $
mother and sister also started quick
ly to see the boy.
Examination failed to disclose any
injuries whatever, and while the doc
tors were puzzled the detectives were
suspicious. One of the physicians
quietly had a shoe removed and sud-
denly jabbed a pin into the "uncon-
scious' ones foot.
When Marriott again hit the couch
upon which he had been lying he was
wide awake and the blank stare was
a thing of the past,
Chief Louis Werner turned dis
gustedly for the door
The doctors made dignified exit.
Wiley and kelIam damned their
hats down over their eyes and ''beat

tkem running down false alarm

much needed rest.
The sister recovered from her state
of near mysteries and the mother re-
joiced.
No explanation or the hoax offered
Marriott Is said to be employed at one

lance from Fulton. and ii was while
returning from the factory that the
alleged ''hold-up" took place.
He described his "assailaut" as a

said had been taken from him was a.
portion OF the salary which, he Is said
to have phoned his mother a short
while before, he had just drawn.

LONDON, March 31.--Sensation fol-
lowed sensation in the political crisis
yesterday. OF all the amasing hap
penings OF the last few days none has
so thoroughly electrified parliament
and the country as Premier AsQuith's
dramatic announcement that he had
decided to add the burdensome duties
of the war office to the prcmfeTship,
and the Office of first lord of the treas
ury. and president OF the committee on
imperial defense, which he already
holds. 1t will throw so much work
on his shoulders that it will be I'M
possible for him to carry on the COM
bined duties for long. 1t affords elo-
quent testimony OF the chaos at the
war office, and the disastrous plight
into which the government has found
cred.
The premiers intention to resign
his seat in the house of commons and
seek reelection increased the aston
ishment of parliament. for there are
other instances of a minister hold
ing dual Offices without resigning, and
IL Mr.. Asquith had followed this course
1t would apparently have not raised
any remark.
A Clear Move.
The accuracy of his view. and that Of
his legal advisers that his resignation
was necessary was questioned In some
quarters. but anyway 1t was an adroit
move, and will help to tide over dim
cult situation. The government will
thereby get some days of breathing
space in the house of commons. where
every opposition question can be met
with the answer that nothing can be
settled in the absence OF the head IN
the government.
The ministeriaiists nurse the hope
that Mr.. Asquith will be returned from
East Fife by an increased majority,
and thereby strengthen the govern
ment. 1t is, however. not quite cer-
tain AS yet whether there will be =
contest.
Colonel sprot. a scotchman, who
lives in the premiers constituency,
and has been twice defeated there by
Mr.. Asquith. isl sort OF permanent
candidate. who keeps tho constituency
''nursed' in the Unionist interest.
1t is assumed that he will fight now.
but he has announced nothing himself.
and it may be that the Unionist organ
ization viii decide that 1t would be
playing into the governments hands
TO take up the challenge.
To Beat Asquith.
The local Unionists. however. claim
that the national insurance act has
SO damaged the government in the
eyes of the electorate that there Is =
good chance of winning, notwithstAnd-
ing the glamour of the premier's repu-s
tation, and the fact OF his unbroken
representation OF the constituency
since 1885.
Mr.. AsQuith will stay In London Tor
the present. picking up the tangled
threads of the war ONCE. where Nc
will have the advice of Lord Haldans.
former secretary of war. Meanwhile.

ARE YOU ENGLISH?"
But Only Suspect Proves To Be

fBy Cable 70 The Tribune I

London, Oct. PA report having
reached the British authorities here
from New York that there were TWEEN
ty-four German spies on the Maure-
tania, equipped with American pass
ports, most extraordinary precautions
were taken this morning to apprehend
them when the big ship came alongside
the Princes stage at Liverpool
The British Foreign Office had in
formed Ambassador Page, and Mr.. Page
dispatched Edward Bell, second secrc-
tary of the embassy. to meet the YES
sci. Horace Lee Washington, the
American Consul at Liverpool, also was
Notified.
There were sixty officials at the ex-
animation of all the passengers, but no
spies were discovered
There was a slight stir when IL was
rerorted that an American had been
found with a rife and cartridges in his
possession, but he proved to be an
Englishman connected with an arms
firm in Birmingham.
When Timothy Healy, NJ. p, was
called on TO prove his identity. one OF
the British officials, without looking
/ up. asked: "Are you an Englishman y
Healy quickly replied: mo, sir, ! am
an Irishman." At this there was roar
of laughter from the other first cabin
passengers. all Of whom were put
through a third degree in the ships
saloon. -.
Secretary Bell vouched FOR Miss
Katherine Page, daughter OF the am
bassador. when she was called also Tor
Nicholas Roosevelt and j. ID. q. Paul.
Mr.. Paul had placed his passport IN
the bottom of his trunk, and could not
exhibit. but when Bell came 10 the res
cue he was excused from exhibiting IT..
Not until the grilling was completed
did some OF the passengers get VINO
of the fact that more than score OF
German spies were suspected OF being
on board. One passenger said:
81 thought perhaps they did this way
with every boat coming IN from amer
lea, but ! am told not. We kne" noun
ing about spies. II we had II Wouiu
have given us some excitement. AS II
was il was prosaic trip
As a diversion, while waiting 10 DC
called. d number of passengers wagered
small sums of money on the chance OF
being called earlier than others, for 1t
was not done alphabetically. The
qrilling required about two hours, and
when Il was completed Secretary Bell
and Consul Washington appeared re-
lieved.
The Mauretanis is now to be taken
off the passenger service.

SAY GERMANS DENY
AUSTRIANS' COURAGE
Have to Fire on allies" When
They Try to Run, According
TO Russian Reports.
ICY Gable to The Tribune. ]

Petrograd, Oct 81 According to the
"ROosky lnvolid," prisoners say that
the discord between the Germans and
Austrians is increasing after each de-
feat. The Germans blame the Aus
TRANS for their misfortune, while the
latter blame their allies.
A German major, when asked what
was his opinion Of the Austrian army,
replied: Are they really soldiers
No; they are but flock of sheep. All
they can do is to retreat"
On the other hand, the captured
Austrians complain bitterly against
the Germans. Eve always occupied tn
most dangerous positions" they say
During the fighting the Germans en-
deavor to remain in the second line
They do not treat us As comrades. We
frequently observe that the first line
of entertainments is occupied exclu
sively by Austrians and the seconC
line by Germans. Even the German ar
tillery is often placed in the deepest
places. and consequently occupies thu
less dangerous positions"
A German lieutenant who had beer
made prisoner by the Russians gave
the following reasons for the Aus
trians being placed in the first line:
"The Austrians arc not TO be relied
upon; we have to watch them. On the
first attack they are always ready to
fly, and for this reason they have 70
be supported" This support, the Of
fcer explained. consisted of the Ger
mans opening fire on the Austrians d.
rectly they attempted TO fly.
