paredness policy the $50 peace advo-
Gates on arriving were anxious to
learn what attitude would be adopted
towards them by Europe
Just before the Oscar II. reached
Christiania the Ford guests held a
public meeting aboard the ship.
Samuel Mcclure, of New York, said
that unless the peace pilgrims COM

the expedition. He declared American
preparedness was necessary and was
not related to the peace efforts.
Rev. Charles +. Aked, pastor Of

peace abroad while preparing for war
at home.

NEGRO GETS SIS
AT PISTOL POINT
Holds Up Bartender in Harri-
son Saloon on Second
Visit.

At the point of a pistol, John Dun
ring, bartender in saloon conducted
by James Mclaughlin. at sol South
Fourth street. Harrison. was COM
manded early today TO hand over. to
ia negro who held the weapon, the
contents of the cash register, amount
ing to over SIS. Two hours before the
lsold-up Dunning had refused TO give
the negro drink unless tho latter
aslild pay .forit. The police of Harri-
son and this city are searching for the
thief.
It was just about 3o'cIock when the
fellow first called at the saloon. He
asked for drink of whiskey and upon
admitting he had no money, was in
formed by Dunning that the business
wasn't conducted on charity basis.
The visitor walked to the rear of the
saloon where Mclaughlin was seated.
The stranger made some comment
about the weather and left the saloon.
A short time later Mclaughlin retired.
About o'clock the negro returned
and called for whiskey. Dunning felt
sure that the man had money this
time and did not hesitate to hand over
the decanter. The customer filled a
glass TO overf1owing and emptied the
contents in one gulp.
Dunning washed the glass and as
he raised his head from his work
found himself peering into the barrel
of a fully loaded revolver. He was
commanded to throw up his hands and
proceed to the cash REGISTER. 'sTou
refused me q drink a few hours ago,
but now you'll come across with
everything you've got in that reg
ister," piped the hold-up man.
The bartender. ever expecting to
hear the crack of the pistol, made no
effort to disobey any of the orders
given him. He kept one hand in the
air and with the other opened the reg
lister and extracted about $75 there
from. you can keep a few dimes for
change" the negro told Dunning. Sat
isfied he had enough money, the Wis
tor commanded Dunning to walk to
a rear room.
"If you come out of here within
five minutes I'll send couple of bull
let's through your head he growled
as he backed away. Dunnng waited
for about minute and then gave the
alarm. Mr.. Mclaughlin hurriedly
dressed and set out in search of the
thief. Dunning called the Harrison
police and Patrolmen Campion and
Duffy hurriedly responded.
Mr.. Mclaughlin went to Newark and
searched several saloons. He report
ed the matter to police headquarters
and Lieutenant Joseph Farrell was
assigned to the case. The sleuth and
Mr.. Mclaughlin spent several hours
searching for the negro, but were un-
successful in their quest. The negro
wore long gray overcoat and black
cap and had on rubbers. He appeared
by be about twenty-five years old.

SuvIa Bay and Anzac
Forces Are Transferred,
London Announces.
ARMY TAKEN TO SAL0NiKI
OR EGYPT, IT'S BELIEVED
No Mention IS Made Of Allied
Army at Sedd-UI-
Bahr.

BY the United Press.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-An British
troops at the suiva bay and Anza1
region of the Dardanelles. together
with guns, have been transferred 70
another sphere of operations" the
war Office announced today.
The transfer was accomplishpd
with insignificant casualties" The
war Office added, indicating that the
Turks launched furious attack
when the troops began re-embarking.
One Of the objections against aban-
donment Of the DardanelIes opera
tions was the fear that the troops
would be slaughtered by Turkish ar
tillery while en- route IN small boats
to the transports. It is assumed that
British and French warships covered
the retreat.
Presumably the British troops are
being withdrawn for service either
at Saloniki or in Egypt.
The withdrawal affects more than
100, 900 British troops who have been
vain1y attempting for several months
to advance against the Turks in
SuIva bay and Anzac regions on the
west shores of Gallipoli peninsula.
No mention was made by the war
Office Of any Withdrawals from the
Sedd -U1-Bahr region. at the southern
tip Of Gallipoli, where French and
British troops hold lines near Kruthla.
The withdrawal. however may be
the forerunner Of abandonment OF the
whole Dardaneiles campaign in favor
of Balkan operations, or TO defend
Egypt against the expected Turco-
German invasion.
