 NOBILITY FOR LOYALTY
Sends Telegram Expressing His Gratitude to Pan-
 Slavist Leader.

Petrograd, Jan. 30, via London, ? D. m.-In a telegram to Alexander Samarin, marshal of the nobility of Moscow. Emperor Nicholas today gave expression of his attitude toward the war for the first time since his declaration to the assemblage of nobles and military chiefs in the win ter palace at the outbreak of hos tilities. At that time the emperor declared that there could be no peace until every hostile soldier had been driven from Russian territory.
 The telegram to M. Samarin. as a member of the Moscow zemstvo. was in reply to a message from that body expressing loyalty to the emperor and the fatherland. 1t is signed Mich olas" and is in part as follows:
 I sincerely thank the Moscow gov ernment for its attitude toward me. which to me is source of deep grat- ification. Let all sincere sons of the fatherland be united, as were our glorious ancestors, wholly believing that the Almighty will bless the ef- forts of our heroic warriors and the sufferings of all true sons of Russia and give to the powerful fatherland anu io lhe DtoDleS protected DN us brilliant future, destroying at one llow all the enemies of our related Slavs."
 A similar telegram was sent to Grandduke Nicholas, commander in chief of the Russian army.
 M. Samarin's message to the cm~ pcror said: We hail your majesty's determination to carry on the war to a full victory until your maiestys mighty will shall dictate the definite which for Russia in her position as a great world power shall secure peace winch will guarantee hcr economic independence. The uttt- come of the war should revive Slay- dom, and keep for Russia her place In history as the liberator of down troGden peoples"
 Emperor Nicholas has never cx- pressed definitely a leaning toward pam -Slavism, and his telegram fo Nj. who Is q son of the founder of the pan-Slavist movement Is re- garded here as of special significance. |

APPEAL FOR POLICE
 AND FIRE FIGHTERS
Charter May Be Revised to Give Members of Both Services Oppor-
 tunity to Question Dismissal.

Ex- Mayor George M. Landers is expected to bring up at the meeting of the charter revision committee Tuesday night change of vital i'm portance to all members of the fire and police departments. The change in a nutsh ell, would give them per mission to apear to the courts if dis charged from service.
 Councilman James F. Degnan had a resolution prepared and intended to present 1t at the last council meeting asking the charter revision committee to consider this matter. Ex- Mayor Landers told him not to present the resolution and he, MT. Landers, would bring the attention of the committee to the reform.
 At present policemen and firemcn can make no appeal if they are dis missed from service. This. it is said by many, gives the board of public safety arbitrary power and is unfair to the m embers of both the fire and police service.

Three Automobile Bandits Secure
 Jewels Pawned for Sl5,0O0.
FULL VALUE OF GYMS MUCH HIGHER
Highwaymen Hold Up Clerks With Revolyers, Bind and Gag Them and Then Ransack Store-$17O in Cash Also Taken From Safe.

New York, Jan. 30.--Diamonds pawned for s15,00O were stolen to- day from the pawnshop of Adolph Stern on the upper east side by three men, who drove up to the store in an automobile, held up the three clerks with revolvers, bound and gagged them, threw the jewels into three suit cases and escaped in the waiting car.
 The first of the three men entered the store ahead of his companions and engaged one of the clerks in conversation. The other two robbers came in together and snapped the spring lock on the door behind them. At signal all three drew their re- volvers and covered the clerks with them.
 Clerks Tied Together.
 The clerks were marched to the rear of the store, bound and gagged with cord and handkerchiefs, then thrown to the floor and tied together Having thus disposed of the clerks the high waymen worked leisurely rifling the safe which had been unlocked a short time before when the shop opened for the days business. Most of the jewels were mounted in rings. The highwaymen took s17O in cash but overlooked other cash in the safe.
 With their three suit cases the high waymen left the store without causing suspicion among the passersby in the street. About & quarter of an hour elapsed before one of the clerks freed himself and released the others. The alarm was then given.
 Loss Estimated at $15,OOO The proprietor of the place, after a rough inventory, estimated his loss at $15, 900.
 The estimate made of the loss cov- cred the amounts for which the jew els were pawned, the proprietor said, and did not cover the full value of the gems. This. he thought, was much higher.
 Worked With Goodness.
 The highwaymen worked with un- usual coolness and leisure. The suit cases in which they carried away the jewels were taken from the pawn brokers stock and were the best he had.

Vienna Claims the Austro-( serman Forces Are Battcring Down the Russian Resistance in Poland, Along Warsaw Front, in GaIicia, Buckowina and Northern Hun- gary.

F. Sweeping claims of military suc- cesSes along virtually the eastern front except in the extreme north, are made in an official report today from the Austrian war office. It is asserted that in Poland on the Warsaw front ern Hungary the Austro- German allies are battering down the Russian re- sistance.
 eeag yhe rear ward communica tions of the Russians in Galicla are threatened the Ifeport says, by tne Austrians, { while the Russian forces which in- vaded Bukowina and northern Hun gary have been unsuccessful and in Poland the trenches of the Austro- German armies are approaching the Warsaw forts. No mention is made of East Prussia, which, according to Pet rograd reports, now Is menaced by a new offensive movement on the, part of the Russian army or invasion. Re ports from the Rus-.an war office re- gently have indicated that the Aus trians have gained some advantage in the fighting in Carpathians, but neither the Petrograd nor the Berlin ,~gsst ements have shown important changes on the Warsaw front.
 &1 Russians Re-occupy Tabriz.
 Dispatches from London and Paris state that the Russians have inflicted B defeat on the Turkish army which Invaded Persia and have re-occupied Tabriz.

 Berlin advices tell of raid on Os- tend and Zeebrugge, in Belgium by British aeroplanes. It is said that thrce of the aeroplanes failed to re- turn, having been surrounded by German aircraft and driven out to sea.
 Russians Suffer Defeat.

 In France, the heaviest fighting is toward the eastern end of the line. The German communication says that further ground was won in the Argonne, in the couse of an engage nrent in which the French suffered heavy losses. Near Nieuport, in Bel gium, and south of Verdun infantry engagements occurred in which the French are said to have been defeated Over the greater part of the line how ever there is little activity.
