Belligerents Separated Into Two Groups and TeutOns
 Will Eat Tuesday
SECRETARIES WERE UP AGAINST IT FOR TIME
Didn't Know Whether to Entertain Teutons or Allies First-Precedent Finally Discovered and the
 Latter Are Given Palm
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, January 21.-(Special.) 1.-The President entertained tonight in the first of his diplomatic dinners. There will be a second next Tuesday.
 For, as is generally known, the Euro pean war, responsible for hard times, y for prosperity" for democratic strength" for the certainty of republi- can-return to power" and for all the other ills the flesh is heir to, has exerted it's baneful influence of the social life of America
 The President could not serve a dinner and invite the German ambassador to hurl the butter at the French plenipoten- tiary, and he could not give the Austrian an opportunity to express his real opin- ion of the "blawsted Englishman." There fore, it was necessary that he divide the camp into two practically equal bodies The neutral countries were in- vited to both.
 The dinner tonight was splendid sue cess. It was peaceful. It is said that Jusserand so certain was he that Won Bernstorff would not be near, found sat isfaction in congratulating Cecil Spring Rice and Count ConfaIonerie on the prog ress of the war, and MT. Bakhmettef felicitated in that the atmosphere was not vitiated by the breath of a Turk, spoke happily of the new Russian drive
 NICE POINT SETTLED
 Tn the beginning, the President was naturally fretted regarding the question of priority. It was certain that if he invited France and England to sit with him before he invited Germany and Aus tria, the latter might conclude that he was showing preference and a tendency to violate the rules of neutrality.
 One of the agents skilled in such nice ties, however, discovered that in all din ners of state the dean of the diplomatic service was given preference. The Presi- dent hastily examined the records of all concerned, and it was ascertained that in point of service, Jusserand was en- titled to first rank. Ergo, the guests

attempted to reach revolver, but was
 shot and painfully injured and backed
 into a vault with four other employees.
 B. A. Johnson, traffic policeman, was
 attracted to the scene. but found that
 the bandit had locked the door after
 entering Johnson was trying to force
 an entrance when the robber suddenly
 threw it open and fired bullet into the officers heart.
 He scattered the throng on the sidewalk and leaped toward the taXicab Pointing his weapon toward McCabe, the robber ordered him to drive away, but McCabe jumped. The bandit hesitated a second
 and then sped up an alley. The woman followed. She gazed for a moment at the face of the dead policeman, and, ac- cording to witnesses seemed about to faint, but recovered and disappeared in the crowd. McCabe was interviewed at police headquarters and allowed to re- turn to work. The police were satisfied of his innocence.
 The Cook offices adjoin one of the largest department stores in Chicago and the robbery and shooting occurred at a time when hundreds of women shoppers were starting for home.
 NUMBER OF WITNESSES | A large number of witnesses called at the detective bureau with descriptions of the fugitive. Several of them said they saw remarkable resemblance between a photograph of one William La Trasse and the robber. La Trasse was sentenced 1 in 1913 to serve 21 years in the Kansas m fao tio1~x rohI ,oI No vember P last He is about B years l old
 l Chief of Detectives Hunt put every available man on the case. He said he was confident La Trasse was the man wanted.
 | Ward Jones, the Chicago manager; F. A. Benesch, clerk; Miss Gertrude Plosznsky, stenographer, and Walsh
 were in the office when the robber en- tered.
 Get out of here, Get out of here QGlck!' commanded the intruder and all except Walsh moved toward the door to
 the street Walsh reached for his weapon
 and was shot. The others then were backed into the vault and Walsh still on his feet, was showed in after them E. D. Scott was one of many who heard the shot fired at Walsh. He ran , to Policeman Johnson, who was shot dead as he endeavored to gain entrance to the Cook office.
 The crowd attracted by the tragedy blocked all traffic on State and Jackson streets Tor sometime. A few attempted
 to pursue the bandit but soon gave it up. The easy escape of the woman was explained by many who witnessed the affair to the fact that they thought the robber had attempted to make off with a machine al eSdy occupied She | left a parasol in ti.e ar. She was well
 dressed, weighed Hh ut 120 pounds and appeared to be in the sarly twenties. It was said that she woman who aided the bandit undoubtedly was one who called at thS office yesterday and inquired about a trip to Panama. It was recalled that she took careful note of the cashiers cage while asking ques- 1 tions of a clerk

Da Cana, wife of the Brazil ian ambassador, and the others follow ing the rule of rank, found their part ners
 The half-circle table sat north and south and the guests faced east and west. Other than diplomats, there were a few invited to partake of the dinner, but their names, withheld until to- night, attracted little attention, com parative1y speaking, when divulged.
 Just before the guests were seated the President of the United States ex- pressed a few words of cordial greet ing. The ranking ambassador, MT. Jus serand, very gracefully replied with all the gallantry of his native country There were no other speeches. When seated there was the usual chatter fol lowing the beginning of a formal din ner. The guests talked of everything under the sun-and, perhaps, above save the blood which is being shed across the seas, and the foreign and domestic complications and relations of the United States.
 The dinner lasted for several hours.

 The dinner tonight was very formal There were American evening suits and gaudy uniforms representative of all the colors of the rainbow and countries of half the world. It was a rare picture-although it is under stood no snapshots were allowed
 MAKING THE ENTRY
 The diplomats tonight, accompanied by their escorts, filed into the mag nificent state dining room. The north corridor was set apart for the Marine band-the distance being great enough to permit the diners to- talk intelli- gently and at the same time listen at tentively lest one of the national airs of an enemy country be attempted.
 Prior to the entry into the dinner room President and Mrs. Wilson re- ceived the distinguished guests in the blue room. After the reception the President gave his arm to the wife of the ranking diplomat, Madame Jusser- and, and initiated the procession to the 1 banquet. Mrs. Wilson, on the arm of l Monster Jusserand, followed apace. 1 The table is of a half-circIe. In the center at the outer side the President l took his seat. Opposite him, in the center of the inner side, Mrs Wilson sat. On the right of the President sat Madame Jusserand, and MT. Jusserand sat on the right of Mrs. Wilson. In accordance with rank, the other dip lomats and their wives were seated, and thus it happened that when every | thing was ready the President was be- 1 tween the wives of the two ranking | diplomats and Mrs. Wilson between l the diplomats themselves.
