Woman i'm Battle
With Two Thugs
May Lose Her Life
Mrs. Borak Felled by Blow
After a Game Struggle in
Store; Rings Chewed from
Her Finger; One Arrested

Mrs. Gertrude Borak, twenty-eight,
fought bitterly for ten minutes late
yesterday afternoon against two hold
up men who entered her army and navy
goods store at 1928 Third Avenue and
tried to overpower her. She was beaten
and kicked and finally flung to the floor
One of them had difficulty in attempt
ing to take two diamond rings from
her finger. He placed the finger in his
mouth and worked them off with his
teeth.
Through all her agony Mrs. Borak
other opened the cash register, got $50
and fled. The man the woman was
gripping dragged her screaming into
the street, freed himself by a heavy
blow and ran west. He was finally
captured. The woman is in Reception
Hospital and may die.
The two men entered the store at
about o'clock. One of them ap-
preached Mrs. Borak and asked if she
wished to buy some mattresses. When
she told him she did not he made as
if to leave the store. The other man
then asked to see some raincoats. Mrs.
Borak helped him into one and led
him to a mirror. He wheeled and
grpped her by the throat, cutting off
her cry >of alarm. The other man
grasped her arms from behind.
But the woman was not of the sur
rendering kind. The condition of the
shop after the robbery bore witness
to how fiercely she had fought Piles
Of clothing were overturned, showcases
were shattered and other articles were
scattered in all directions.
They finally bore her to the floor,
and while one man continued to stran-
gle her, the other attacked her rings
with his teeth, biting her cruelty.
When he had got these he opened the
cash register, took it's contents and
vanished. His mate tried to follow,
but Mrs. Borak, dizzy and only half
conscious, chung to him until they
reached the street.
The fugitive headed across Seventy
first Street to Park Avenue, where he
ran into the arms Of Patrolman Nor
colt, of the East 104th Street station.
He WAS taken back to the store, where

mcnt. Differences as to the exact ma
ture still persist.
Premier Lloyd George, it is under
stood. is holding tenaciously to the
view that economic penalties shall be
imposed If Germany does not conform
to the treaty's terms. The French con-
tention. on the other hand, is declared
to be that it would be more cruel to
cease sending food supplies into Ger
many and put stop to her industries
by shutting Oft raw materials than to
occupy few districts with Allied
troops until Germany changed her at
titude.
From the standpoint Of internal or
der in Germany the French statesmen
also consider that limiting food and
trying to prevent the factories from
working would be more dangerous than
restricted occupation. Premier Nitti
supports Mr.. Lloyd George.
AT the afternoon session the Supreme
Council decided to insert clause in
the Turkish treaty making Batum a
free port for the republics of Aver
baijan, Georgia and Armenia. The
council spent considerable time consid
erlng the protection of minorities in
Anatolia. 1t approved the financial ar
tcles Of the treaty.
Note on Armenian Mandate
A note from the league of nations
was submitted to the Supreme Council
concerning the mandate over Armenia.
The note pointed out that the league Of
nations has no funds, no staff and no
military forces with which to carry out
the mandate. The league asked whether
the governments composing the Su-
preme Council would provide the nee
esSary resources.
The council continued it's examina-
ton of the Turkish treaty at the for
NAL session.
An official statement issued by the
Premiers says:
This morning the conference dis
cussed and approved the financial
clauses of the Turkish treaty. The con-
ference afterward discussed the Ar
menian territorial question, especially
the frontier question. Before adjourn
ing the conference took up the question
of Batum."'

The newspaper declares its belief that

Soviet Russia's negative attitude
toward the financial obligations con-
tracted under the Czarist administra-

low the establishment of a govern
, ment hostile to execution of the
treaty, was dispatched last evening"
An identical note was presented to
the Under Secretary Of Foreign Affairs
by the representatives of the Allies"
The representations are not re-
garded as an ultimatum, as probably
no time limit will be set for Germany's
reply. She will be given to under
stand, however, that as disagree
able alternative to compliance with
the terms Of the treaty regarding dis.
armament, the Allies will be unable
to continue the relations reestablished
by the peace treaty.

likewise regarding the continuance of
instructions in Germany. and the
prospect will be held out of the with
holding of food and other necessities

cided to modify the treaty slightly by
ilxing immediately the total amount
Germany must pay as indemnity and
her reimbursement in goods or kind.
The question will come before the
