hung around when Rudolph Thorn
ton, the delivery boy, went out to
take an order. We were laughing
and kidding when these two guys
came in.
"One of them pulled out a gun
after he had ordered a bottle of
liquor and when Mr.. Herman turned
around this gunman said: Don't
move or III blow your brains out.
You're looking down the barrel of a
.32.'
Then he told the other man to 20
around to the cash register and get
the money. He rang up the register
and took the money and then took
some whisky.
The one with the gun turned to
me and told me not to move or he'd
blow my brains out. Then they made
Mr.. Herman empty his pockets and
the one with the gun said to give

Mr.. Herman just gave him a me-
dium sized bottle and the gunman
made him hand over a big bottle. I
could see that made Mr.. Herman
mad. The one with the money ran
out the door and the other man
backed uc all the time telling all
these fantastic things he was going
to do if we started anything.
He stood there with the door half
opened for long time. Then he
half turned to 60 out and I saw Mr..
Herman reach under the counter for
his gun. He always said he was going
to shoot it out and he did.
He shot three times and the gun
man shot back at him. Then the
man ran and Mr.. Herman walked
around the counter to where was.

agency DNB announced that Brit
ish reconnaissance plane of the Brit
ish-Blenheim type had been shot
down this afternoon in Helgoland
Blight by German pursuit planes.
One of the raiders reported shot
down by the British a Heinkel
bomber, was downed by a patrol of
the Royal Air Force fighter COM
mand off the mouth of the Firth of
Forth shortly before l pm. That
water way, leading to the City of
Edinburgh and the Rosyth Naval
Base, has been a frequent target for
German raids.
The air ministry communique
said:
Early this afternoon a fighter
aircraft Of the Royal Air Force shot
down a second Heinkel off the
coast of Northumberland. Three
members of the crew of the enemy
aircraft were seen to take to a rub
ber boat"
From Brussels came reports that
artillery fire of increased intensity
was shaking houses of the frontier
villages of Luxembourg, while heavy
German troop movements were
sighted across the Moselle River.
Unusually heavy road and rail
traffic was visible. A steady stream
Of cavalry, cyclists. infantry, am
munition and food columns have
been noticeable since Saturday.
Observers could not say whether
the German troops moving SOUTH
ward were maneuvering or rein-
forcing troops in the Saar section.
In announcing the fourth British
excursion over Germany within
week, an air ministry communique
said, Our aircraft reconnoitered
important seaports in Northern
Germany and the Baltic"
The Baltic Sea-where runs the
German iron ore lifeline from
Sweden-is nearly 500 miles from
the English coast.
British planes operating over
Central Germany penetrated as far
as Berlin" the communique de-
clared. Flights also were reported
over Western Germany and Helgo-
land.
Germany's aircraft also were ac-
tive. and Parisians were routed out
OF bed early today by the first air
raid alarm since last November %.
No Bombs Dropped.
Observers disclosed maSsed SQUAD
rons OF German warplanes had flown
over the Paris region for the first
time during the war. Until the flight
early today, Germany's aerial trips
into France had been on a small
scale. No bombs were dropped dur
ing the 57-minute alarm.
Earlier in the evening, curious
thousands had gathered in Paris
streets to watch French anti-aircraft
batteries fire at two German planes
in the searchlight- frightened sky.
The planes were driven off. No
alarm was sounded, although the
firing lasted Is minutes.
The cannonading first was heard
east Of Paris, then grew in volume
as the planes, flying high, ap-
preached the city.

bank.
Il want to vote for loan to Fin
land y Mr.. Fish concluded, but I'm
opposed to delegating control of the
purse strings from Congress to a
civilian agency. It's time to stop
kicking the Constitution around"
Finland's fight to retain its inde-
. pendence was compared to the
struggle of the American Colonists
by Representative Lanham, Demo-
crat, of Texas in pleading for the
bill.
Finland" he said, "is small ma
ton fighting against overwhelming
,odds for freedom of body, of mind,
of property and of religion-rights
dear to the American heart"
In view of the history and ideals
of the American people, Finland
has right to expect promptly any
aid this country can lawfully pro-
vide, Mr.. Lanham said.
Limiting Finland's credit to nom
military supplies was denounced by
Representative Celler, Democrat, of
New York, who asserted Commerce
Department figures show SO per cent
of the goods bought by Russia in
this country is for military purposes
I'VE grant Russia the very thing
we deny Finland" Mr.. Celler de-
clared.
There is a distinction" inter
rupted Representative Ford, Demo-
crat, of California. Russia is pro-
viding the funds, while this is Gov
ernment credit"
What difference does that
. make?" retorted Mr. Celler, I'VE
become an ally of Russia when we
play into her hands,
Representative Michener, Repub-
iican, of Michigan cautioned the
House against deciding the issue on
the basis of sentiment. and made a
: general plea to avoid involvement
in the present war.
Representative Vorys, Republican,
of Ohio took the position Americans
should aid Finland as individuals,
but opposed enlarging the facilities
Of the Export-Import Bank.
There was some uncertainty on
what the House will do on some
of the amendments to be offered, in
Guiding one to remove limitations
SO that the Firms could purchase
needed military supplies with the
proposed credit.
There is nothing to prevent Fin
land from buying war supplies in
the United States now with its
own money, but, as passed by the
Senate, the pending bill stipulates
that loans by the Export-Import
Bank could be used only for articles
not listed in the Presidents neu.
trality proclamation.
The House convened at II am.
an hour early and debated an houl
on the question of adopting the spe.
cial rule.
Bill Goes Back to Senate.
Even if the House rejects efforts
to liberalize the measure on the
floor, the bill will have to 60 back tt
the Senate for action on two change.

on the theory that belligerents woule
not find it practicable to conver

The other committee amendment

terms of the johnson Act, prohibit

This ban would not interfere witt

Text of Roosevelt Letter.
The text of Mr.. Roosevelt's letter
was:
Your Holiness.
I'm my letter December %, 1899.
I had the honor to suggest that
it would give me great satisfaction
to send to you my own representa-
tive in order that our parallel en-
deavors for peace and the allevia-
ton of suffering might be assisted.
Your Holiness was good enough
to reply that the choice of Mr..
Myron C. Taylor as my representa-
tive was acceptable and that you
would receive him.
Il am entrusting this special mes
sage to Mr.. Taylor, who is a very
old friend of mine and in whom l
repose the utmost confidence. His
humanitarian efforts in behalf of
those whom political disruption has
rendered homeless are we'll known to
your holiness.
Il shall be happy to feel that he
may be a channel of communica-
tions for any views you and I may
wish to exchange in the interest of
concord among peoples of the world.
Il am asking Mr.. Taylor to con-
vey my cordial greetings to you, my
old and good friend, and my sincere
hope that the common ideals of re-
ligion and humanity itself can have
a united expression for the re-estab-
lishment of a more permanent peace
on the foundation of freedom and
assurance of the life and integrity
of all nations under God.
Cordially, your friend,

Ceremony Is Simple.
The Pope received Mr.. Taylor in
a simple ceremony and chatted with
him of the time when he was Mr..
Taylor's guest in New York in 1896.
The Pope asked that Mr.. Taylor
convey his best wishes to the Presi-
dent and people of the United
States, saying he had great admira-
tion and affection for them
First United States representative
to the Holy See since 1867, Mr.. Tay-
lor has opened offices in a hotel
in Rome and said he had not de-
cided when to proceed to the villa
in Florence where he has been ex-
pected to stay.
He said he found the Pope look
ing very well indeed" and had been
received with great dignity and
kindness"
Vatican circles commented on the
length of time the Pope devoted to
the audience, the two being alone 80
minutes and the entire ceremony
occupying 43 minutes.
There was no formal presenta-
ton of credentials, or exchange Of
formal speeches, because Mr.. Taylor
has the extraordinary status of a
personal representative Of the Amer
ican executive rather than Min
lister from the Nation.
Reaching the Vatican IN an auto
mobile sent for him by the Pope,
Mr.. Taylor was conducted imme-
diately to the Pontiff and presented
