world. The message carried orders
that all flags be hslfmasted.

ton came about eighteen months ago
when he suffered a slight paralytic

$27, 900 Burglary Is Laid
To Clerical Craftsman
Intruder Police Say Probably Played Accountant Enter
Brokerage Office Below Dead Line"-Also Blamed
for Two Other Downtown Thefts

Gems and cash valued at $4,000
were stolen Monday night or early yes
terday from the big steel safe in the
Office OF Charles f. Berner & Co, a
stock brokerage firm, on the third floor
of the United States Realty Building,
ll5 Broadway.
The theft is the largest safe bur
glary that has occurred in New York
City since Mrs. f. II. Harriman's
$4,000 diamond and ruby necklace was
stolen last spring from the safe de
post vault Of the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company. or the loot from the
Berner safe, $4,000 was cash and
$4,000 in jewels. most Of which be-
longed to Charles +. Berner, his son
Charles W. Bener, and their wives.
Captain William Dewey, Of the First
Branch Detective Bureau, attributes
the theft TO "the Clerical Cracksman,'
so called because he mssquerades as
an unassuming little accountant when
he goes about his trade oI cFacAlhs
safes. To the same cracksman the po-
lice attribute the recent looting OF
safes in the Offices Of William Sheldon
& Co.. at II Broadway. and the Union
Central Life Insurance Company, in the
Woolworth Building.

No inventive Imagination could
conjure up more complete mystery
than that which surrounds the Berner

covered as TO the cracksman's identity.

ON December 4 the German sea rover

cbantman Samland 400 miles of the
Irish coast and allowed her TO proceed

German marines were stationed IN the

By U-Boat or Airship

That General Won Falkenhsyn, and
not General Baron Won Falkenhausen
is on a mission to Greece is affirmed
by the British accredited correspond
ent at Salonica, who cites Information
received in French official quarters
there to the effect that-yOn Ealken
hsyn is at Elassons, twenty-five miles
northwest of Lsrissa.
The dispatch, which is dated Janu
airy 13. adds that the Greek troops
which the Greek government promised
TO withdraw into Peloponnesus, are
moving not toward Pelopounesus but
northward, violating the neutral zone
where French and British detachments
have for some time been keeping the
peace between royalist and Venizelist
troops.
General Won Fslkenhsyn is sup
posed to have arrived in Greece by
submarine from Kavala, but the cor
respondent remarks that IL would
have been possible for him to cross
the Entente Allied lines in an air
plane, land in any case the object
of a visit which was attended with
so much danger cannot be mistaken y
Greek Attack Expected
"For the last six weeks" the cor
respondent adds, "the Royalist gov
eminent has been playing for time,
using every pretext to avoid displac-
ing the modified forces behind US.
The arrival of Won Falkenhsyn makes
it seem that the Greek plans for com
bined action are now mature"
That Fslkenhsyn is preparing to
launch a Macedonian campaign and ia
seeking audience with King Constan-
tine solely for the purpose Of finding
how long that monarch is prepared to
hold out is the natural conclusion.
The war-weary Bulgars are in need Of
stiffening. and Constantine cannot be
expected TO spar indefinitely with the
Allies.
The Salonica army is to be heavily
reinforced, according to a British cor
respondent with Sarrail's forces. The
writer lays it down as the most urgent
task of the Salonica army to cut the
railroad linking Berlin and Constan-
tinople and shut of Germany from
the supplies of foodstuffs and men
which she is drawing from Asia Minor.
He describes Asiatic Turkey as a
granary which Germany is developing
on scientific lines, while it is also the
home of 100000 magnificent fighters,
who, he says, are being trained and
drilled under German instructors.
