TAKE FIFTY RIFLES
FROM OIL STRIKERS

New York, July 2G-Discovery and
seizure by the police of fifty rifles and
bayonets stored in a hall used by the
strikers of the Standard Oil plant in
Bayonne, y. j., caused fears that the
men were planning further serious
disorders. Reports were circulated
that the strikers had collected a fund
of several hundred dollars with which
to purchase ammunition.
AS result of rumors that the men
were arming themselves the Bayonne
police made a sudden raid upon the
hall and despite the presence of q
large number of strikers in front oi
the building carried the weapons on
to police headquarters. So unex
pected was the move that the strikers
made no attempt to prevent 1t.
Soon afterward two men were ar
rested and charged with placing heavy
iron pipes on the tracks of the Lehigs
Valley railroad at the entrance to th'
oil plant. Desultory shots were tiret
by the guards about the plant at in
tervals during the night, but ther'
was no concerted outbreak. Governo
Fielder still hesitated to call out tn
troops, despite Sheriff Kinkead's fire
quent appeals for a guard of soldier
around the plant.

DECIDEDLY FIRM IN TONE
British Opinion of Latest American
Note to Germany.

London, July 26.-"The American
note is decidedly firm in tone; it will
make unpleasant reading for the kai

of frightfulness," said the Evening
News, whose attitude was typical OF
that of the London papers on Presi
dent Wilson's latest communication
to Berlin.
The Evening Star headlined the
note Firm" and says:
Americas message is couched In
plain, unmistakable language which
will be little relished I'm Berlin. Ger
