SALES CO.
BEATS A
RETREAT

Following a sharp skirmish in
which Its outposts were cut Off
from their base of supplies and its
generals fell into the clutches of
the court, the out-of-town COM
pany which in charge of the
CLOSING out" auction of the
stock of the Reed-French Piano
Manufacturing Co. beat a retreat
Tuesday from the balcony of the
store occupied by the Hopper KEEL
ly Co., 945 Broadway.
Hauling its supplies of pianos
in vans along Broadway, the COM
pany formed new line of defense
in a vacant store at No. 921 Tues
day.
The retreat was precipitated
Saturday when the Hopper-Kelly
Co. ordered the sales concern out
of it's mezzanine floor, formerly
leased to the Reed French Piano
house, the manager of the Hop
per-Kelly Co. declaring he didn't
like the methods of the sales
concern, and that it's presence I'M
der the same roof was injuring
his business.
Watchmen Marooned.
The Hopper-Keliy Co. had can
celed the lease of the Reed French
Co., alleging that the sales man.
ager in charge of the piano sale
had been guilty of misrepresenta-
lions in his advertising.
The sales concern refused to
bulge.
w. II. Graham, manager of the
Hopper-Kelly Co., chopped out
the stairway leading to the bal
cony, cutting off access to the
salesroOm.
The piano concern, in order tC
protect its legal rights, then sta
toned two watchmen in the bal
cony, but they were left without
any way of getting food.
The climax came when men on
Commerce st. tried to send food
by means of ropes to the ma
rooned watchmen, and the ropes
were cut by Hopper-Kelly Co
attorney.
Statesmen Arrested.
The plano sales concern re-
treated.
Meanwhile information charg-
ing violations of the trading
stamp law were filed in the supe-
rior court against the Reed
French Piano Co., and men in
charge of the closing out sale,
C. F. Hendrick, c. L. Cline and
A. f. Scherfenberg. They were
arrested and later released on
$3.50 bail each.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 20
Certain members of President
Wilson's cabinet when they ar
rived at the White House for the
cabinet meeting this afternoon
were outspoken in their view that
state of war now exists with
Germany.
While saying they believed a
declaration of war unnecessary at
this time, they were firm in their
stand for preparation for hostili-
ties.
They indicated that when the
president next addresses congress
he would say state of war had
existed with Germany since last
Wednesday, when the American
steamer Algonquin was sunk.

This includes everything ships OF all

tho discrepancy between the ofncial

CAMP UPTON, Long Island, Oct o.
Like the courses offered by the mar
lem Business University end the
Greater New York College of Applied
Plumbing. the curriculum In this not
uncomfortable seat of learning, called
Camp Upton, leans more to the practl-
cal than to the theoretical. ProhclehI
though its students may become IN one
science or the other, 1t is not hkely
ever to lead to any formal or recog-
nized degrees, such as Bacheior Oh
Bombing, Doctor of Digging, or Mas
ter of Machine Guns. Nor are there 10
he any interclaes rushes, for every Sc
lected man comes to this institution as
freshman.
But, with due regard to all that,
camp life, as it looms in prospect
after to-day's first meeting Of the
athletic council of the 18th Division,
will not differ so greatly from campus
life as might be imagined.
OF campus life, for instance, stu
dents in the business university ana
the plumbing college never catch a
GLIMPSE. One leading set is too busy
with stage money and pothooks, the
other with pipes and solder, to have
time or thought for shingusrds or
baseball bats.
The promising undergraduate SOL
diers of Camp Upton, however, hnd
themselves thrown together at a point
far enough away from home to get a
taste of the real campus spirit. And
to stimulate that spirit an athletic pro-
qrsmme as elaborate as that of any OF
the Great universities has been mapped
out.

Czernin's Peace
Speech Praised
BY German Press
"Statesmanlike F orecast"of
Future, Says the
"Tageblatt"

AMSTERDAM, Oct. Accommodating
upon the speech delivered by Count
Czernin, the Austro-H garian Foreign
Minister, in Budapest, in which ne made
a statement concerning Austria-Hun-
gary's peace policy. the "Vossische
Zeitung" says it considers the speech
one of the best political manifestations
made since the beginning of the war.
His statement that the great thing 20
be aimed at must be the unity OF Eu-
rope, not for war but for protection,
is Endorsed by this newspaper.
The "Tageblatt" considers the address
a statesmanlike forecast of the great,
decisive question of the future and OF
the true aim of the war. Count Ger
Minis conviction evidently is, it states,
that this aim must and will be reached.
The "Loksl-Anzeiger" commentator
writes that in view of the repeated
manifestations of unity OF purpose on
tn, part Of Germany and her allies no
one can doubt that the principal ideas
of Count Czernin's important speech
tally with those of the German govern
ment.
"Die Post" remarks that the material
points of the speech correspond with
the conception Of the future aims Of
Europe laid down in the German reply
to the Pope.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has
made general reply 10 the congrstu-
lations sent to him on his scyentieth
birthday. which is published in the
German press. IL is in the form of an
appeal TO the German people to Ere
main united and not trouble about what
may happen after the war, because this
merely carries discord into our ranks
and strengthens the hopes Of our enc
mics"
BE confident that Germany will get
what she needs for her security and
that both air and space will be given
to the German oaks for their free de-
velopment." the reply continues Keen
