The league of nation seemed determined to put an em' bargo not only on oil, but on coal iron, steel, and perhaps othel products on which the country's ec' onomic life and the fortunes of 1t! East African armies depended.
 Hence the choice of the cabinet today or in the imminent future was: CD To join in a new effor to negotiate peace; CD To oppose by peaceful means, by sacrifices ane national teamwork, the penalties tt be imposed; (3) To reply to tht new penalties with military actior which would take the form of ar attack on British territory or inter- ests that will mean warning on tht world.

sides the stock market and the fur
business with Fisch? A-No.
Q-You lost that money you put

made few dollars.
The prisoner smiled. There was
the trace of a smile on Justice
Trenchard's face.
The states contention that Haupt-
mann had deposited hundreds of
dollars in silver in his bank &C
counts, he explained by saying the
deposit slips we're carelessly written.
When checks were listed on the
deposit slip, the writing looks like
it was opposite the silver place, but
it was checks or bills" he said.
Mr.. Wilentz showed him a deposit
slip for January, 1884. 1t listed
large silver deposits. Hauptmann
maintained the 5000 in silver de-
posted actually was in checks.
Mr.. Wilentz showed Hauptmann
more deposit slips Hauptmann adj
mitted he had made mistakes in fill
ing out the slips, sometimes putting
silver items in the space reserved
for currency.
Q-Now here's deposit slip that
shows $84 in coins for August, 1884.
Is that another mistake? A-That's
bills. I never paid much attention
to the slip as long as I got credit.
