Arthur Hauser, iliac Buck Weaver,

robbery, intends to stand pat In his
denial of the capital punishment of

come in and take your medicine." an
interviewer advised him. "The police
bave got your number. You're,
through. They've got the dope on
you. You'll get a, little satisfaction
out of it that way!"
Hauser looked through the bars of h!a
cell at his interviewer.

"Kirk in, you say!" he derided. "Man,
you're talking about me. kissing my life

the army, navy and m'lltla read before

league here today. On each aspect of
the problem, however, the committee
findings were that the administration
had . not Indicated a desire to go far
enough to make the country safe from
attack.
The proposed army Increases, It was
asserted, should be broadened to pmv'da
for extensive and continuous education
of officers and for collection of Urge
reserve stocks of supplies of all kinds.
The. navy plan was rritlcited ss ex
tending over too long a period for com
pletion and as making no pruv'.lon for
adequate personnel on ships built, build

The project for a "continental army"
waa endorsed merely as a "first step" and
the suggestion mas mad that all men

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. The
German embassy, according to Infor
mstlon today from aiithorttatlre
sources, renens tho accusation
which are understood to have been
made BKalnst Captain Karl Boy-ed,

I line. It
was said Ambassador Ton
Uornstorff wss preparing to file a
vigorous complaint with the State de
partment at the conclusion of the
trial, asking at least for something
in tho nature of a retraction, and
iposnibly for an apology.
The 0rman embassy. It is understood.
has not yet derided Just whit form the
protest will take. A copy of the steno
graphic report of the remsrka of counsel
for the government and the testimony
Slven at the trial In understood to have)
hen ordered from New Tork so that of
ficials of the embassy may know exactly
whnt has been said In the court room.

The embassy Is particularly anxious to
aeutrinine netnor vapia.n do,
Included, by luference or otherwise In the
rcforencs mude by Assistant United
fUtea Attorney Wood, to defendants In
the case ss "riding roughshod over the
laws ol the t n ted biates. treating them
aa If they were scrnrs of paper."
It was ald by a person In close touch
with oftlclals of the embassy that It waa
1 felt Cantatn Bov-ed had been very
j harshly treated In the circumstances and
that too much had been made out of hi
connection with the rase. The embassy
! was further described as feeling tha(
Captain Fo?-ed had done nothing that,
t're'-i ft "entf.
As to tb form of the embassy's pro
test. It was said much depended oa the
outcome of the trial. Should aa acquittal
result tlio embassy might feel that, in
making complaint. It would stand upon
j much firmer ground as It could point
out, Incidentally, that the defendants had
themselves been freed of the charges
mado by the government. Whether they
are acquitted or not. however, the belief
! prevails in German circles that Captain
s name was neudlessly brought In
that needle's things were said about
! him.
It la known that Secretary Lansing
himself has for several days considered
it probable that the German ambassador
would make a protest. The State depart- '
ment takes the position that the dis
bursing of funds did not mean that tha
naval attache had done anything Illegal.
The department has complete knowl
edge of all the eldenca which waa
secured In the caso by the Department of
Juttice and stated tho position of Secre-
tary Inslng Is that nothing that ma
he dons hy the Department of Justice In
development of Its cases binds the Stat
department to request the withdrawal or
any diplomatic officer.
Cnvm- - n---, Surnr'ae.
It even has been hinted that Stats de
partment officials are at a Ioj-s to under
stand why the German naval attache
was brought Into tho rase unless thero
wss evidence that he directed the al
leged falsification of manifests and clear
ance papers bv officials of the Hamburg-
. American Hnt.
It la uddel'stood the bullef In German
circles i that If th.irc was any falsi
fication of papers. It muxt have been th
result of ur, effort to prevent the enemies
of Germany from securing Information
which might cauae hnim to come to tM
, forces am ships.
A( Glubs to Look

gather the required Information. On De

Hat of questions which tho committee

This Is the second Investigation of the
kind. A year ago when all business men
seemed to b confused as to the effect

Itlons in this country, the Ad clubs con.
ducted an investigation among the lead
ing retail stores, which showed that de
epitu ninny alarming reports the average
condition of American business showed a
decrease for the month of November, 1911,
over November. 1913, of only 3.1 per cent.
