Head Cashier F. w. Baumann
revealed to Detective Sergeant
Leo j. Murray that on three oc
casions yesterday a Shabbily
dressed stranger summoned him
from his cage to answer suspicious
telephone calls in a corridor tele-
phone booth.
While he was absent, Baumann
said, between $4,000 and $4,000
lay in his desk drawer guarded
only by a flimsy wire barrier.
Murray said it would have been
comparatively easy for an expert
thief to have opened the spring
lock on the cage.
The robber, apparently by mis-
take, entered the cage directly op'
posite Baumann's and stole $500
while Assistant Cashier Charles
M. Sabin was absent for a few
moments.
Murray said he believed the
robber was the shabbily dressed
man who summoned Baumann to
the corridor telephone where an
accomplice was on the wire to
tell an involved story of having
lost a diamond ring while he was
paying his taxes.
Towers pointed out that large
sums Of money are kept overnight
in his office and said he will ask
the Commissioners to install burg
lar alarms and theft-proof cages
to forestall a possible raid on the
Districts cash drawer.

dead.
Don Marquis, noted playwright
and humorist, died today at his
home in Forest Hills, New York,
after a lingering illness. He was
SO years old.
The death of Marquis is mourn

TOKYO, Dec. 20 G.N.S0.
Great Britain today rejec e d
Japan's explanation of the at.
tack upon the British gunboat
Ladybird by Japanese troops on
the Yangtze River.
The japanese reply to Britain's
protest over the incident, which
occurred a short while before the
American boat Panay was
sunk by Japanese bombs nearby,
was handed to British Ambassa-
dor Sir Robert Leslie Craigie yes

Acting under instructions from
London, Sir Robert this afternoon

While it has not yet been made
public, it was generally understood
the Japanese reply paralleled one
made to WaShington's protest
over the Panay sinking, which en-
braced apologies, promises OF In
Identification and the claim the
sinking was accidental.
WANTS DETAILS Barred
Britain, however, apparently is
disinclined to accept any such
denial of responsibility or pre-
meditation.
Among other things, it was
understood Britain is insisting
upon publication of the Japanese
reply in full in the Tokyo press
instead of an abridged version as
was published in the case of the
Panay.
In addition, Britain desires a
clear statement of the punish
ment to be meted out to those re-
sponsible and definite assurances
against a repetition.

ing Paris with a water supply
sufficient only for two days,
100000 public service workers
walked out in a general strike to-
day. crippling the city'S major
utilities.
The demonstration was staged
against the governments action in
a number Of previous smaller
strikes and served to paralyze
Paris, compelling hundreds Of
thousands to walk to work or
travel by taxicab.
HOSPITAL STRIKE
At 2 p. m, hospital workers
joined the strike, but emergency
services were maintained in all
institutions by use of a relay sys-
Premier Chautemps made known
his intention to deal with the
walkout in a firm manner by plac.
ing $4,000 police and mobile
guards on call and threatening to
nationaliZe the utilities unless the
workers return to their posts
shortly.
In a vigorous statement con-
deming the strikers, Premier Chau.
temps branded the movement as
revolutionary in intent.
The Premier fatty refused to
see a delegation of strikers until
they have resumed work and Is
sueo the following blistering COM
munique:
''The situation created by the
strikers is serious, but the gov.
ernment is resolved to face it
with greatest energy.
TN no case will it tolerate
interruption Of services indis-
pensable to the nation.
"The strike has been started
in conditions which leave no
doubt as to the intention Of its
authors. The movement was
launched at the very moment
the minister of the interior had
given them favorable assurances
and when had personally prom
ised them an audience.
"GRAVE DISORDER"
THUS a grave social disorder
which was deliberately provoked
and unjuStly affects the entire
population of Paris cannot be
excused on the grounds Of
purely cooperative motive.
II appeal to our calm popula-
ton as we'll as to the wisdom
of public service employees who
have allowed themselves to be
pushed into dereliction to duty.

Ever try adding lemon juice to a glass of milk plus a new laid egg and sugar? It makes a delicious drink, as good pickup in cool weather as during the summer time.
 To two tablespoons of lemon juice, add one egg yolk and one tablespoon of sugar; beat until foamy and pour into a tall glass. Beat the white of egg and one ta- bleSpoon of sugar until the egg is very stiff and fold into the lemon mixture. Add cold milk, enough to fill glass, stir well, and sprinkle a little grated lemon rind over the top. Serve immediately.

 how we can combine them with duck and onions to make one of the most interesting recipes:
 Praised Duck LyOnnaise
 Praise the duck and with 1t some onions. Cook raw chestnuts until tender, using consomme for the boiling liquor. Place the praised duck on a platter, surround with onions and chestnutS, garnish with few sprigs of cress and you have the foundation for most de- licious autumn dinner. It is well to remember that duck should not be roasted or praised until it is too well done or dry. The meat should be juicy, just past the rare point for those who like 1t well cooked. Recipes for duck vary chiefly as to the type of stufting or garf1ish used. We have just seen how the garnish of praised onions and chestnuts may make plain duck most distinctive dish. So, too, may we use turnips and oranges.
 Praised Duck With Orange
 Praise the duck, adding to the braising liquor some orange and lemon juice with a little of the peela finely shredded. Place the duck on platter and surrounded with quar. ters of uncooked oranges from which the outer skins have been re. moved.
 Stuffed Duck BOrdeIaise
 Roast duck is very good with g simple poultry stuff1ng well season. ed with sage, but here is another a more individual recipe for stuff. ing:
 Soak dry bread crumbs in a lit. tie milk, squeeze dry; add chopped
