COBWEB SALOON HELD UP EARLY
THIS MORNING BY MASKED MEN

The Cobweb saloon, in the State
Bank building. at the corner of
Brougher avenue and st. Patrick
street. was held up this morning
about 3 o'clock by two masked men
who got away with about $780, the
contents of the cash register and
what money was on the tables.
When the robbery occurred, nine
men were in the saloon, with George
Dickson behind the bar The side
door on st. Patrick street was locked
and the corner entrance was bolted.
The stick-ups came in by the doors
opening on the vestibule of the office

above medium height and the other
was short and stout Both had bags
over their heads, with holes for the
eyes and mouth The men threw
down guns as they entered and
ordered the crowd to stand up
against the wall with hands elevated.
Then they proceeded to help them
selves to all the money in sight
When this had been secured and
thrown into sack the men backed
out of the door by which they
entered. AS they made their exit
they warned their victims to remain
quiet, and. TO impress the injunction

For Wilson Writing Letter

neutrals and the United States itself
was being drawn near the verge of
war.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff con-
ferred with Lansing today. when he
discussed the presidents action.
The German allies long have hoped
for such action by the president.
Won Bernstorff declared: Now l am
perfectly convinced there will be a
conference"
The notes are regarded of such a
nature as to compel the belligerents
to make more Of reply than
mere acknowledgment.
Late this afternoon Secretary Lam
sing authorized statement regard
ing the presidents reasons for the
note. ut isn't our material interest
we had in mind" he said, "but our
own rights are becoming involved by
the belligerents on both sides, SO the
situation is increasingly critical. We
mean by that, we are drawing nearer
the verge Of war ourselves There
fcre We are entitled to know exactly
what each belligerent seeks, in order
to regulate our conduct. No nation
was sounded before the note was
sent. The president in his notes
specifically denies this is move
ment in aid of the German over
lures, as might be construed. The
only thing the overtures did was to
delay 1t for a few days"
Lansing said further: "The send.
ing of this note will indicate the pos.
sibility of our being forced into war.
That possibility ought to serve as
restraining, SOLDERING force In safe
guarding American rights. 1t may
also serve to force an early conclu-
sion of the war that neither the
president nor myself regard as
peace note. The note is merely an
effort to get the belligerents to de-
fine the end for which the are
