Paris, Jan. 2S.-Fresh anti-German
demonstrations took place last night
at Lausanne, a Swiss city on the
north shore of Lake Geneva Toward
midnight the great crowds which
surged through the streets were dis.
persed, but at the railway station a
small group of persons surrounding
a German flag was attacked with
canes, stones and fists.
The police were forced to use their
swords before they could rescue the
men attacked. This information is
contained in Havas dispatch from
Geneva.
Earlier in the day, an angry crowd
had pulled down a German flag which
had been hoisted by the German con-
sui in honor of Emperor Williams
birthday.
In the rioting great crowds choked
the street in which the German con-
sulate is situated, but they were held
back from close approach to the con.
sulate by strong forces of police. The
crowds then contented themselves
with kissing and hooting against Ger
many.
AS result of the encounter be.
tween the police and demonstrants at
the railway station; one man was Sc
verely injured. and taken to the hos.
pital.

BANDITS ARRESTED
IN QUICK TINE
Those Robbing Chicago Bank Of
$4,000 Landed by Police; Spe-
cial Grand Jury.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Just Sc hours al
ter the daring $4,000 robbery Of the
Washington Park National bank yes
-terday morning. Chicago police, who
had regarded the case as extremely
difficult OF solution, achieved the fol-
lowing:
"The arrest of the five alleged rob-
bers."
"The recovery Of more than half
the loot, with prospects for recovery
of the remainder tomorrow. The con-
fession of one of the Bandits"
Information has reached States At
torney Hoyne that criminals had been
imported at the instance of certain
politicians and policemen" to perpe-
trate a series of crimes for the pur-
pose of discrediting the city's admin
istration, putting Nicholas Hunt, new
chief of the detective bureau, under
cloud and thus indirectly getting
revenge on Maclay Hoyne, States At
torney, for his successful prosecution
of police graft cases.
Clearing up of minor crimes by the
confession, called for special grand
jury tomorrow to take speedy action
against the prisoners. The bandits
were not "baby bandits" as at first
suspected, but ranged from IS to 80
years.

of DIR. c. G.. Andrews, who is confined
at the agency hospital with frozen
feet, is not progressing favorably. 1t
became necessary to amputate a por-
tion of one heel and several toes, and
if this brings no relief it may be me-

case goes out 10 the young doctor,
who, being nnacquainted with the
dangers of travel on stormy night
across an unknown country to give

According to DR.. Thomas, the new

United States Suggests Belliger-

TO PROVIDE SAFETY
FOR MERCHANTMEN

Placed in Safety Before
Attacks.

Washington, Jan. L2S.-A suggestion
that all the beliigerent countries sub
scribe to a declaration of principles
governing attacks on merchant yes
sells and forbidding the arming OF
snch vessels has been made by the
United States in an effort to establish
in International law a general policy,
disposing Of many Of the veXatious
problems arising from the deyelop.
ment of submarine warfare.
Identical notes have gone forward
asking the various countries at war
to say specifically whether they are
willing to join in such an agreement.
The declaration of principles would
provide:
May Expect Protection.
That non-combatanta may expecl
protection under the rules of interna'
tional law, and the principles of hui
manity when travelling on merchant
ships; that warning must be given be-
fore a merchantmen is attacked; that
belligerent.owned merchant ships
must obey warnings to stop; that mer
chantmen shall not be fired on except
in case OF resistance or flight; that
no merchantmen shall be sunk, eX
cent where it is impossible to supply
a prize crew, or until passengers and
crew are placed in safety; that mer
chantmen shall not he permitted to
mount arms. se
Would Mean Settlement.
Favorable responses. from the bel
ligerents would be looked On as

warfare for which tile United States
has contended through extended nego
tiations with Germany and Austria
and at the same time disposing of a
troublesome question, recently inten
silied by the arrival at New York OF
three armed Italian merchant vessels
Germany and Austria already have
agreed in effect to the proposals re
garding attacks on commercial ships
and Great Britain and her allies have
always been understood to be in ac
cord with the American viewpoint on
that subject.
Seeking information.
The United States has addressed
another inquiry to Austria asking il
any of its submarine commanders
have knowledge Of the destruction OF
the British vessel, Persia.
State department officials consider
that they virtually have exhausted
every other source of information ir
their efforts to establish what caused
the sinking of the Persia, with th'
loss of two American lives. Asser
tions by survivors that the ship was
torpedoed by hostile submarine
presumably Austrian, have not been
proved.
The state department wants a def
mite statement from the German gov
ernment and should a denial be re-
ceived, the case will probably be con.
sidered closed.
The Italian liners, American and
Verona, will be permitted to sail from
New York if the Italian government
gives assurances as it did in the case
of the Giuseppe Verdi that their guns
will be used only for defensive pur-
poses.
