IL Is conceded that Germany will

Austria Is very friendly 10 the United

This fact, coupled with the knowledge
that outside of the purely military
officials, the majority of Germans IN
authority do not want any more
enemies arrayed against the Father
land, has materially lessened the
tension in official Washington.
! This is especially noticeable to-
day, whether because of the naturally
optimistic American view. or
whether because II Is realized that

KRAKUS TOLD MUCH
ABOUT THE GUNMEN
tContinued from Tirst Pago.


erations of this gang. il had members
in number of different places and the
police who belonged TO il and re-
ceived the money from it were sup
posed to protect them, It was only
when there was too much shooting in
a case that they got into trouble,
Asked concerning the strength Of
the gang, Krakus told the man 10
whom he was talking. that it was so
strong that if he selected the proper
spot in New York. he could knock
down and rob well-dressed woman
and the policeman on the opposite
side of the street would disappear
until it was all over
These scraps of conversation we're
transmitted to the police authorities
here and on two or three occasions
Chief of Police George Black went to
tho workhouse in hope of getting a de-
tailed statement from Krakus. but on
such occasions he always relapsed
into silence and simply declared that
he had nothing TO do with the murder
of tho priest,
On the day before he was hanged
krakus was shown a statement made
by Montvid, TO which was attached a
sentence saying that IL was correct
and he signed his name TO II when il
was presented by Detective Malin-
cwsA Of New Britain. Krakus on
the scaffold revoked it, and declared
that neither he nor Montvid had any
thing TO do with the murder
That Krakus and Montvid were
known to members of gang of
thieves was shown by the fact that
/ the pictures of them which were
printed in various places, were readily
/ Identified by other thieves who were
in custody in different places. The
police found that Krakus had served
a term in Jail for the robbery of a
| iewelry store in BrOolton, Mass, and
that he was only released on Octo-
Der 10 last
II is probable that as much infor-
nation as possible will he pieced to-
gether out of the different statements
which krakus made from time to time
in hope that something tangible may
be obtained. II is expected that the
New Britain police may secure some
additional clues from the information
which is now in hand and may event
ually assist in rounding up the en-
tire gang of which Krakus spoke both
in the workhouse and on the scaffold
Detective MalinOwski, who came to
Wilmington on Thursday to interview
Krakus returned to Connecticut yes
terday afternoon. He took with him
the statement Krakus had signed on
Thursday and which he repudiated
yesterday. When asked what this
statement contained, Officer Malinow-
ski stated he was not permitted to
make its contents known. He admit
ted. however. that the statement i'm
plicated Montvid and KTakus jointly
in the murder Of the priest and his
housekeeper in New Britain last Feb
ruary. II is thought the statement
brought here by Malinowski, which
Krakus signed. was a duplicate OF one
that Montvid had made in Connects
cut.

well received in London. Calais may
be on French soil, but the British real
ize that it is the German gateway to
Londom and that it must be defended
to England s utmost However, if the
British fail at Calais, they must be pre-.
pared to make taeir last stand at Lon
don.
1t is true, as the French point out,
that strikes have hampered the British,
but that defect is being remedied,
thanks 10 the efficient work and in
spring appeals of the new minister of
munitions, Lloyd George. Twenty.six
new national arsenals have been started
within the past month, and 100000
British workmcn have offered their SER
vices in this connection.
Now that they know the truth of the
empires grave peril, the workingmen
of England have decided to quit strik
ing.
the Englishman quoted by Simms as
saying that the army of 100000 men
in England were supplied with wooden
guns, was exaggerating conditions. For
the most part the men in training have
rifles. 1t is true that thousands may
be seen daily in the parks of London
drilling with wooden guns, but these
men are home defense guards, men who
are unable, due to- physical or other dis
uaGfication, to enlist in the regular
serWe, and even they will shortly be
supplied with excellent rifles.
