Won NUBER CASE
STIRS WASHINGTON
State Department Still at Sea
Over Reply to Austrian
Charges Request.
fFrom The Tribuns Bureau J

Washington, Nov. 26.-The case OF
Alexander Nuber von Pereked, Aus
trian Consul General at New York, Is
becoming an increasing source Of worry
to the State Department A high ON
cial admitted to-day that no solution
OF the difficulty had yet been found.
IL is understood that Attorney Gen.
eral Gregory has the next move Coun-
sellor Polk has advised him Of the Aus
trian Embassy's protest against the
sighting use of Nuber's name In a
press statement Issued by the Depart
ment Of Justice. but beyond declaring
that he did not personally authorize
tho statement the Attorney General
has maintained silence. The statement
was made public by Assistant Attorney
General Charles Warren.
That tho State Department has not
yet been able TO satisfy the Austrian
Charge d'Afaires leads TO the belief
in many quarters that Baron Zwie-
denek demanded not only that the
United States government disclaim the
Objectionable statement concerning
Nuber, but also insisted on the punish
ment of the responsible official.
AS soon as Attorney General Gregory
returns to Washington the State De-
partment will reopen negotiations and
attempt to find solution of the diff
Guilty that will satisfy all concerned.
1t is admitted that there is no choice
but to disavow the slur on the Aus
trian Consul or demand his removal.
Some Of the State Departments ad-
visers believe the latter course would
be preferable. as it would discourage
similar protests In the future. The
department is still apprehensive that
the German Ambassador will make an
issue of the references TO Captain Boy
Ed in the Buenz trial

his white gloves he had forgotten his
red and white plume. Immediately
drawing il out Of his knapsack, he
stuck il into his shake, and the section,
electrified by his example, rushed FOR
ward. ~
"You are going to get yourself killed,
lieutenant" cried a corporal.
Forward! Forward" was the young
soldiers reply as he bounded forward
at the head Of his men. A few minutes
later he lay lifsless on the Chsrleroi
battlefield, with q bullet hole In his
forehead directly underneath the red
and white plume.
A young st. Cyrian, wounded once
and returned to the front, took com.
mand of a company Of territorials, all
old enough to be his father. MY dear

one Of them sweers by him, and each
and every one would give his life FOR
him.
The story is told Of q second lieu-
tenant Of the class Of 1914, who was
leading his section on the line OF the
User in junction with the Belgian
troops, without apparent consciousness
Of a great danger that he was running
into.

Of the heroism they showed they had
the honor Of being christened on the
field of battle tho "Grande Revanche."

Minute Men of Concord
Meet Again for Defence
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

Concord, Mass, Nov. 26.-The "Min-
ute Men" met again in Concord to-day
after lapse of 40 years. In response
to the modern Paul Revere-Uncle
Sans postal service-hundreds of citi-
zens gathered at the state armory for
preparedness meeting. Plans were
discussed for forming a reserve force
of citizens who should give up one
night a week for drill and study.
There was far less unanimity, how
ever, than there was in 1775. Several
citizens opposed the preparedness plan
on the ground that it would tend to
discourage the regular militia. It was
declared militiamen would resent the
auxiliary in that the latter would have
the privileges of the armory without
having to attend camp and live up to
the routine of the militia. Finally the
matter was left to q committee to in
vestigate.
A circular signed by leading citizens
referred to the name of Concord as
standing since April, l776, as the
watchword Of patriotism and indie
pendence and urged that citizens be-
come familiar with military duties TO
influence other communities to more
active participation in the prepared
ness movement

heavy sacrifices to the country IN Tn.

Their duty in the trenches. The soldier
who faced death from starvation and
certain disgrace rather than 60 back
to the fighting from which he revolted
body and soul will live peacefully on
Ellis Island until the war is ended.
The land of freedom will not receive
him within her borders, but rather
than send him to Imprisonment, and
perhaps death, at the hands of the
British, will afford him a temporary
asylum. The board of special inquiry
at Ellis Island yesterday directed that
Schultz be excluded from the country,
but because the British would imprison
him at Falmouth if he were returned to
Europe he was ordered informed on the
island until the end of the war.
