window had been broken into. He
had In mind some one who might
have taken the money, but he did
not want to make charges. He did
not know whether it was stolen dur
ing the first half or second half of
the year 1914.
He was asked is to the receipts
for the months of July, August, Sep
TENDER, October and November,
which we're paid over to the treas
urer by checks, and il 1t was not a
fact that the money could not have
beer stolen in those months.
Mr.. Nelson answered that he did
not know. The witness took full re-
s%ponsibility for all the transactions
of the office and said the loss was his
own and he has made it up. He had
carried the loss at first by taking
current fees that came in the next
month and ~replenished the fund OF
the previous month.
Mr.. Glassner had never done any
work in the office to amount to any
thing, he said. AS to the present
shortage, testified to by State Ac-
countant Truran, Nelson said there
are a number Of items to offset that
and fees still due the office from var
ious corporations. III there is any
shortage, ii is due to errors. His
own fault entirely. Some fees have
been lost by checks which the office
had received and which were since
protested.
The witness thought he had mott
fed Mr.. Glassner. secretary of state,
OF the robbery in November; it was
quite a time after the money had
been stolen. He had never notified
the attorney general.
When he told Secretary Glassner
ut did not appear to concern him
much" he made no attempt to find
out who had taken the money. He
did not want it to become public.
The investigating committee has
about completed its work. 1t is now
known definitely that Glassner viii
not be here to testify.
The committee may not compel
him to come, but probably will be
satisfied to make a report showing
the general looseness OF the account
ing system in the office OF the secre'
tary OF state.

war SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Feb. Especial: Ger
many signalized the second day of
the operation of her sea war zone by
torpedoing two steamers. n of
them belonging to a neutral country
Norway. This vessel, the tank
steamer Belridge, was torpedoed by
a submarine near Folkestone, Eng,
while the French steamer Dinorah
was badly damaged by a similar YES
sci off Dieppe, France. Both damag-
ed vessels managed to make port. A
Dieppe dispatch asserts that nc warn
ing of an attack was given the Di-
norah. There has been NO mention
of casualties on either vessel.
Great Britain has answered the
note of the United States concerning
the use of the American flag by Brit
ish vessels and has also replied to the
American representations concerning
the food ship Wilhelmina. In the
former case the note says the steam
er Lusitania, in approaching Liver
pool, raised the American flag TO save
the lives of her noncombatant crew
and passengers. While no promise is
made that Great Britain will refrain
from the use of neutral flags, it is
stated in the note that the British
government has no intention of ad-
vising merchant shipping to use for
eign flags otherwise than for escap-
ing capture or destruction.
In announcing that the cargo OF
the steamer Wilhelmina had been
held to a prize court the British gov
eminent cites as one OF the moving
reasons a~ctuating il in this respect,
Germany's order c~ontiscating all
grain and flour in the empire. While
Great Britain has not declared food
stuffs absolute contraband it is stated
In the note that, owing to the action
of Germany, should il hereafter feel
constrained TO make such a d~eclara'
ton or take other measures for inter
fering with German trade by way OF
reprisal it confidently expects that
such action will not be challenged
on the part of neutral states by ap-
peal to law or usages of war, so lone
as neutral states cannot compel the
German government TO abandon
methods of warfare which have moi
in recent history been regarded a:
having the sanction Of either law oil
humanity"
Fighting on land continues in near
ly all the numerous theaters. In thu
west there were attacks and counter
attacks at various places, with claims
of successes in positions and prison
ers captured by both sides.
In the east the Germans claim the,
are still pursuing the Russians II
northern Poland, while TO the south
of the Vistula only desultory fighting
is taking place. In the Carpathian'
the Russians and Austrians still arr
striving for supremacy. Furthe-
south, near the Rumanian frontier
on the river Pruth, a big battle i
said to have opened, with the troop
knee deep in snow.
Greece, according to a Berlin dis
patch. has agreed to prevent tn
movement of Russian ammunition b.
way of Saloniki.
Another German airship is said t,
be in distress, this time off the coas
of Norway.
The Norwegian steamer Nordkyl
has been sunk in the Baltic by strik
ing a mine. Her crew was lost.
