Two Highway Robberies
In Same Neiqhb0rho0d

Two bandits staged two highway
robberies last night in the same neigh
borhood, but got only s. from two
victims.
The victims were A. M. Erickson,
2606 Chicago, who was robbed of 81
at Twenty-sixth and Chicago, and c.
V. Carlson, 709 North Thirtieth, who
lost 81 at Nineteenth and Cass streets
Early in the evening neighbors liv-
ing near Nineteenth and Charles
streets, called police headquarters and
reported that two shots had been fired
in Seventeenth street, followed by a
yell and retreating footsteps. Investi-
CATION by Policeman Turner revealed
trail of blood running half block
and disappearing into an alley. A
few minutes later he arrested two
Central school boys in the neighbor-
hood. One of them had a loaded re-
volver which had not been fired. The
boys are not believed to have had
anything to do with the shooting, but
are being held, nevertheless, for the
juvenile court.

The crisis between the United

reported killing of. an American
citizen by the guns of a German
submarine.
An official statement issued in
London says an American, Rich
ard Wallace Of Baltimore, and the
master and two seamen of the
British steamer Eavestone met
death through the she'll fire of
submarine while leaving the
steamer in small boats as it was
sinking from the gunfire poured
into it by the under water craft.
Two other British steamers, the
Isle Of Arran and Hurstwood,
have been Summarized, and Brit
ish sailing ship, the Garnet Hall,
is believed to have been sunk. Five
fatalities resulted from the torpe-
doing Of the Hurstwood, which is
said to have been done without
warning. The Danish steamer Lars

the Belgian relief committee, has
gone to the bottom near the Bel

OTHER NEUTRALS
WON'T JOIN U. S.
London View Is Little States
Near Germany Are Afraid to
Break Off Relations.
FEAR A TEUToNIC VICTORY

London, Feb. s.-Gencral impress
sions which prevailed i'll newspaper
circles today were reflected in the aft
ernoon papers that Germany is at
tempting to prevent actual hostilities
with the United States by overtures
for a compromise on her war zone
policy. The only discoverable ground
for such impressions was the news
that Germany had offered Holland
and the Scandinavian countries some
concessions" for steamers taking to
Germany food supplies, and mails.
The first direct news received in
London from Germany since the sew
erance OF relations was the Associated
Press dispatch describing the German
attitude, which will be published in
the Berlin morning papers and is
likely to dispel the rumors Of COM
promise.
Not Likely to Go that Far.
The greatest interest centers in the
reply Of the smaller ncutrals to Presi-
dent Wilson's suggestion that they
follow the American policy. There
is no indication in the messages from
the Scandinavian countries and Hol.
land, however, that they propose to
60 to the length of rupture. Hol.
lands relations with Germany have
been sharply strained by the sinking
of several Dutch steamers under cir.
cumstances compelling Holland to file
protests and requests for an explana-
ton, but the belief here is that the
smaller countries bordering on Ger
many would fear to align themselves
in hostility, for one reason that in the
possible event of the central powers
winning the war, their destiny would
be wholly in Germany's grasp
Spain's attit~de is much the same
as Hollands.
Will Act for the United States.
Washington, Feb. Spain gave
formal notice today of its willingness
to take over American diplomatic
interests in Germany. Holland has
notified the department of its willing
ness to take over British interests in
Germany represented by the United
States, and Spain those of Roumania,
Serbia and Japan.
Reply Sent Soon.

Spanish government continues the
preparation of the reply to Germany's
submarine notification. The reply
probably will be dispatched to Berlin
Tuesday or Wednesday.

BRYAN ATTACKED,
SLOAN DEFENDS HIM
Miller of Minnesota Suggests
Nebraskan Should Be
Interned.
IL ON TROUBLED SEA
(From a Staff Correspondent

Washington, Feb. 5.-(Special Tele'
gram. )-Ex-Secretary of State w. J
Bryan of Nebraska, who quit the
cabinet because he could not go along
with the president on the Lusitania
note, was the storm center for short
but acrimonious colloquy today in the
house in which Representative Sloan
of the Fourth Nebraska district be-
came the pourer of oils on the trou-
bled waters.
1t all arose over Mr.. Bryan's
speech made Friday calling upon citi-
zens of the United States to telegraph
their congressman what they thought
should be done in the international
crisis and suggesting referendum be-
fore war was declared.
Interning Bryan.
A Duluth citizen came forward with
letter to Congressman Miller OF
Minnesota among other things sug-
gesting that Mr.. Bryan should be in
termed" Today Mr.. Miller read the
letter and then proceeded to criticise
Mr.. Bryan in no uncertain terms, in
which "copperheadism," traitor to his
country and other harsh epithets
were used.
Congressman Huddleston of Geor-
gia, after repeated efforts, was recog-
nized to launch forth in a dramatic
tribute to the "commoner," whom he
ranked with Washington and Jeffer-
son as Bryan the tribune"
NJ <-oi- i,.s Al,
day to tell the house that Mr.. Bryan
was citizen of his state, that he was
the idol of large number of people,
regardless of political affiliations, and
he deprecated the attack upon Mr..
Bryan's Americanism, notwithstand-
ing that Mr.. Bryan and himself had
radical differences.
Time to Be Calm.
Mr.. Sloan said:
Il think at this time we all should
be calm and dispassionate.
THE test of patriotism is not
whether we are opposed to the presi-
dent of the United States or whether
we support him. If there is a crisis
we know that it will come without
action of the president of the United
States. He has exercised his right
and prerogative of severing diplo-
matte relations between us and that
of our old-time friends. 1t can only
be precipitated when the congress of
the United States, after deliberation
at both ends of the capitol, shall de-
clare that we are in state OF war.
ut is not for gentlemen to talk of
patriotism or nonpatriotsm now, but
when the congress has had the issue
before it and made its deliverance that
we may draw structures on speech.
Until then | think that men on either
side of the chamber would do we'll
to withhold their epithets and their
compliments.
Greeted with Applause.
Mr.. Sloan's speech was greeted with
applause and the democrats and re-
publicans took occasion to tell him
that he had brought them back to
sanity and clear vision for the even
tualties that may occur
Owing to the seriousness of inter
national affairs Congressman Reavis
today wired withdrawal of his ac-
ceptance to speak at the dedication of
the new Scottish Rite temple in Lin
coin on Washington birthday.
