cinc charge Of forgery to the amour.
Of $4,000.
il was said yesterday afternoon hv
Henry J. Goldsmith. who has been re
tanned 10y Mrs. Woolsey to defend her
husband. that White, who was an as
sistant bookkecpor in the bank. bet as
much as 1000 on race. According
10 the same authority the falsifying OF
the books b. Woolsey was begun IS
far back as November. 1911, instead o.
hut two months ago. as he first as
serted.
The tai amount Of the defalcation.
according TO Goldsmith. will be as nigh
as 500 0oO. officials Of the bank said
on Saturday. following the arrest Of the
two men. that il would not exceed
$1,000
Cot Tip" on Race.
White. II was said Yesterday. FIRST
went 20 Woolsey III November, 1911 J,
and told him of being in trouble rs q
result OF betting on the races. lie IS
alleged TO have confessed 10 Woolsey
that none. intrusted TO his care was
lost in this way, a.d he could not pos
sibly see his way clear TO make il good.
About this time. It is said, White met
several people who know more about
horse races than they do about bank
ing methods. They gave him q tip
on d race. the winnings Of which. IL
was shown 10 him. would be more than
enough 10 repay the shortage.
This information, it is said, was re-
peated % Woolsey. who, thinking he
was doing friendly deed, began 20
doctor his books 10 procure the money
to bet Woolsey and White had been
employed by the trust company for
more than twelve years, and they had
become warm friends. They had pre-
viously worked together in another
banking institution.
Following the loss of the first bet the
two men re said TO have continued
their populations, intending to make a
killing" and make good the money
they had taken. As yet it has not
been learned whether White was the
victim Of a band of wire tappers," but
this is being investigated, in the belief
that he was.
Both men were arraigncd before
Magistrate Ten Eyck. in the Yorkville
police court. YESTERDAY, and held in So
600 each for the grand jury. Both
waived examination. The aflidavits
made by +. II. Cook manager of the
Plaza branch of the trust company,
stated that the defendants had falsi-
fed and forged credit slips TO the
amount of 10000. White, as assistant
bookkeeper made out the slips, and
Woolscy falsifed them in entering the
amounts in the daily deposit receiving
book which came under his super
vision as paying teller. The affidavit
further stated that the men were con-
fronted with the facts, and they con-
fessed that they acted in concert in the
crime.

The Progress of the War.

The war in Europe is now at the close
OF it's third week, reckoning from the
time England declared that Germany g
act in violating the neutrality of Bel
GUM constituted a breach of treaty
Justifying her in entering the lists as
an ally of France and Russia. War
had been declared by Austria on Servia
July IS, and by Germany on Russia
August !. with a German invasion of
French territory August = Now the
campaig is fully under way, with the
allied forces confronting the Germans
in Belgium, where a fierce battle is
raging along a front of over 100 miles.
while on the eastern frontier of Ger
many Russia is pressing forward stead
lily. after a delay in mobilization which
gave the Germans material advantage
in the west
Had 1T not been for the stout re-
sstance of the Belgians to the German
advance the kaiser's armies would I'M
doubtedly ere now have been well into
France. thanking the great fortresses
that guard that country from direct In
Easion over the Franco-German Dor
der. The check at Liege and the sub
seaueut opposition to the German ad
Nance by the Belgians west of that
city destroyed the German advantage
of prior concentration and enabled
France and England to assemble their
forces. Now the battle line is formed
and the fight is in progress.
1t is obviously the strategy of the
kaiser to pierce the allied lines thus
ranged against him while he was
threading his way through bristling
Belgium. getting into France and
menacing Paris before he is required
70 offer serious resistance to the Rus
sian advance from the east. On the
other hand it is plainly declared in
late London dispa tches to be the allies
purpose now to attack vigorously and
TO hold Germany at bay in Belgium
while Russia is gathering momentum
This would indicate belief that the
allied line is now strong enough te
resist the fierce onset of the kaiser:
massed troops. which have apparently
been assembled in the neighborhood oil
Namur for grand attack
The French fighting in the south and
central fields has not amounted tt
much as regards the general result
however satisfactory to the French
sentimental desire for the re-occupa
ton of Alsace. Apparently there has
heen both defeat and victory In tina,
quarter for Germany. defeat in lowe,
Alsace, where the French have forced
back the Teutonic lines and enveloped
several lAlsatian cities. and victory In
Lorraine. where the French advanc,
