men alighted.
One of the trio stopped near cash
register, his companions going to the
lunch counter and ordering sandwiches.
Charles ]. Kallis, who was on duty be-
hlnd the counter, turned to get the
order. Upon hearing a suspicious noise
he faced about to find two pistols point
ed at him. He was held there while the
third man robbed the two cash regis
tiers. Charles Chasiris, the cook, ap-
peared at the door in time to see the
manager facing the two pistols. He

Referred to Attorney General.

Some time ago the Attorney General
was called upon to give his opinion re-
garding the date at whcih the section
of the seamen's act which prescribes
the equipment and crew required for
life-saving becomes effective. The man
ner in which this section of the new
law is expressed has given rise to an
other difficulty which has been referred
to the Attorney General. The regula-
lions regarding life-saving appliances.
the manner in which lifeboats are to
be manned, and other stipulations. are
stated as a part Of an amendment to a
section Of the Revised Statutes. This
section is referred to in another section
of the Revised Statutes which is not
mentioned in the seamen's act and
which in effect provides that steam
ships of nations which have inspection
laws approximating American inspec-
ton laws will not be subject to in
spection in the United States regard
ing life-saving equipment other than
such inspection as will demonstrate
that the equipment Is according to the
certificates of officers Of the country in
question.

View Of Commerce Department.

The Department of Commerce is I'M
derstood to have decided the result of
these provisions of law, stating that
vessels Of some important maritime
foreign countries which enter Amer
lean ports will not have to comply
with the requirements of the seamen's
act concerning 1ife-saving equipment
and the complement of men of manning
lifeboats, etc, since their own inspec-
ton laws approximate those of the
United States.
Every effort is being made to facili-
tate the taking of the national cham

result may be known well in advance
Of the present date set for the con-
vening Of Congress.

BERLIN WANTEDWAR
Says Conference Was Rejected
Before Russia Started to
MObOliZe.
BELGIAN PACT RECALLED

Special Cable Despatch 10 The SrN.
LONDON, Sept. THE SUNS corre-
spondent received from the Foreign
Office the following observations respect
ing recent statements relating to the
origin of the war:
1.-THE Germans maintain that the
reason which led to the rejection OF the
proposal for a conference. at which the
disputes In question were to be dis
cussed was the mobilization of Russia.
In paper No. 40 OF the British White
Book. Sir Edward Goschen reported a
conversation with a German official, the
German Secretary of State refusing a
conference. saying hat the suggested
conference would practically amount to
n court OF arbitration and could not
in his opinion be called together ex-
ccpt at the request OF Austria and Rus
sia.
"He maintained that such a confer
ence was not practicable and further
said that II Russia modified against
Germany, the latter would nave TO
follow suit. As, when he rejected the
proposed conference, he referred to a
possibility OF a Russian mobilization, II
cannot now he maintained that the
reason for the refusal was the fact that
Russia was mobilizing. As a matter of
fact the proposal for the conference was
made on July 26, 1914. n was refused
by Germany on July rs, 1914. while II
was not until July 81 that orders were
! given for the general mobilization OF
Russia.
ION that day Germany presented an
ultimatum to Russia requiring an un-
dertaking that within twelve our the
Russians would be demobilized.
"2-Doubt is thrown in Germany on
the assurance that Great Britain gave
Belgium in 1913 that Britain would no,
land troops in hat country except In
the case of "A violation OF its territory
by another Power. This assurance was
not only given to the Belgian Minister
hut Sir +. Villiers gave Sir Edward
Grey's record of II to the Belgian Gov.
nme at the time this assurance ap.
peared i'm the collected diplomatic docu.
ments.
why is il doubted? asked the British
Government. Because the Germans have
not allowed the reproduction of a docu'
ment which is so damning to their case
"3.-The fnal interview between 81

house and no record was made OF II

Rritain's participation in the war, moi
did he speak of mediation in favor ot
Germany. II necessary. n fuller state
ment will be made in Parliament on III,
subject.
"4-The immediate cause of this
war was the dispute between Austria
and Serbia which then turned into d
dispute between Austria and Russia
Yet It is worthy OF note that It was
Germany who declared war against rus
STA and France. The Austrian Ambas,
sador remained at Petrograd after thu
German Ambassador had left. Germany
declared war on Russia on August l
and Austria on August s, 1914"

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1-Omcials Of the
Wilson Administration too. steps to-day
TO correct a misunderstanding which they
say has arisen as to the extent of the

One high official asserted that the

army and navy development is absurd.
He said the total appropriations would
fall far below that figure.
Senator Tilman of South Carolina,
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Naval Affairs. who conferred with the
President this afternoon. said that the
President would recommend an "adc-
quate and reasonable" programme to
Congress.

NEARLY all the British troops landed
