Young couples dave bean intimidated but usually saved themselves from violence by re- maining quiet and giving up what money they had. It is this belicf of the police that if these men are arrested they can clear up several hold-ups. Young Luecy was unarmed and de- feneseless and was offering no reaist- ance to the men when one of them shot him in the mouth, If the revol- ver had been aimed an inch higher the wound would have undoubtedly been fatal, Luecy and the young woman, after a stroll through the park last night, rested on # bench on « knoll known as the Blue Ridge, near the Twin Lakes, It wap a dark point hedged tn by shrubbery, but other couples were on benches nearby. Two men, roughly dressed and wenring peaked caps, passed the couple some time after they reached the bench. They were walking slowly and one of them looked sharply at Mise Grove. “IL don't like the looks of those me the girl said, “I'm afraid they're up to somethi Lucey laughed at her feara, but he ineisted that he remove from the front of bie waistcoat a heavy gold watoh- chain and watch, and to humor her he did eo, and placed it in his coat pocket, The men disappeared in the | om shrubbery « few yards Gown the path, A teow moments later a policemen walked by. The men evidently waited until he was some distance from the walk, for about five minutes later they suddenly stepped from a thicket oppowite the bench, They advanced toward the couple, and Miss Grove, frightened, clutched the arm of her companion, “Btand up,” ordered one of the men, but Luecy thought he scented @ practical joke of some kind and he laughingly reassured the gin. Bud denly he was caught by the shoulder and pulled to his feet. The girl tried to help him, but was pushed back, She screamed and with an oath one of the men drew a revolver and with the barret within a foot of Luecy's head fired, As the young man sank back on the bench one of the men quickly went through his pockets and took $10, While the mep rushed off Miss Grove attempted to staunch the flow of blood | from Luecy’s mouth and screamed for help.

Fl WOOD ORDERS PARADE OF CITIZEN-SOLDIER ARMY IN NEW YORK (Continued from First Page.) Island, then proceeding to their homes, The Evening World deserves ell credit for the suggestion.” “TIRED BUSINESS MAN'S” PACITY AMAZING, ‘One purpose of this camp its to learn the capacity of the “tired business man" for training and instruction. Buch work as has bben provided for the mombers of the camp has never been laid out for any students in a military ishment, In @ jooular way, Capt. rey and Gen. Wood himself have been in doubt as to how ter the routine which they have planned could be carried. They have felt that there was a limit beyond which they ought not to drive men of the peculiar type they have here in charge, But it is important to find out just how far a physical strain can be exerted againat professional and business men pulled out of their oMces without athletic training. Capt. Dorey, Gen, Wood's chief aldo, eaid in his dpening speech to the members of the camp that work had been planned on the basis of a ca. pacity of ten to one as ‘ainat the average civilian recruits, This esti- mate in the practical working out of nce has fallen down woe- CA- % ht broker, ist banker, enogr » college professor what mot, who has reported here fas proved himself capable of about ent: rae times as much work as expected from the man who enlists in City Hall Park for $16 4 month. BIG LAWYER TELLS WHY HE's AT CAMP, The idea has caught on enthusias- Ucally among the rookies. A promi- nent lawyer in camp, the value of whose time may be judged from hia statement, aid this evening: “I bave a number of important cases coming up in September, but thie movement to increase the defen- sive force in this country overshadows to me almost every consideration that can be urged 4s @ reason why @ man |should not give his first thought to the condition of the United States tu | its present atate, “Thi mp Will be effective only ao far as it shows the average citizen what we need to do ‘to prepare our- |aelves against invasion. No matter | how much publicity ls given to the work here, cold type will never bring home to the millions of people who do not participate ip this wor! nd who do not see with their own is being done, the fact that in & position to tell an en | that we will not stand for a vio of our princlpies. “In New York City we have our greatest field, If the body of men now encamped here march through ;the streets in uniform there will be ; taught @ lesson that will awaken the slumbering millions to @ situation has been nogiected, quasi-military encampment has ever contained as many leading citizens of a country as are gathered here in this ainall acreage. These men have come here not so much tv try to jearn the dutiec of an army officer as to show {80 the public the interest that men of Citizen Soldiers Cleaning Guns in Camp; Two New Yorkers Who Are Learning Warfare sound judgment take In this move- ment. ‘ “Frankly, wo are afraid. We fear that until war actually comes It will not be possible to make the average citizen understand that in the eyes of the world the broadest civilized na. ton in the world has assumed, in ac- tual military importance, etrength j and facility for presenting a formid- able army, to the size of Servia, “My country comes first. After I have thought of my home, and of other things, I can consider my busi- ness. The trouble with most of us— and T did not see through my eyes un- til I came here-is that business is first and everything.” | In the general scheme of spending four weeks in this instruction course, the majority of business men here can see no reasonable objection to making the march through New York City. "One man said to-day that if the purpose could be better served he would be willing to extend the demonstration to Brooklyn. A development of the suggestion Is inspired by one of the elghty-seven rookies hore from Raltimore. “Why confine this thing to New York City?" he asked. “I realize, of course, that it would be next to im- possible to ask all these men to parade through the stroets of ail the hig cities that are here represented, but I think that it would be feasible for the contingent from such places 4s Baltimore and Boston to march through the streets of their home towns after the New York parade, “We are proud pf our country first and of our own dies second. Cer- tainly we brag enough about our cities when we are away from them, So why not try to make the men of our home cities do something to awaken a pride that seems for years to have been devoted wholly to finan- cial and political matters? Just think what it would mean for one city to say that its citizens were better pre- pared to carry the national colors to wlory than those of another city,” When the men leave this work for their regular duties they will have a much clearer understanding of the nation’s armament requirements than they believed, when they started up here, they could gain in #0 short « time. This Is due principally to the wholly serious way in which every man has tackled bis work. And nbthing but the work here is recelving attention, Mayor Mitchel, genial when newspaper men discuss with him his ideas of the encamp- ment, quickly changes his manner when the affairs of New York City are introduced into the conversation, Tt Is the surest way of winding up the interview. He does not want It un- derstood that he ts not out of touch with what is going on, but It is clear that unless his presence is actually imperative he will not go back to New York vntil the final “break ranks” order is spoken, PRESIDENT INVITED TO INSPECT TROOPS, President Wilson jas invited last night to come to Plattsburg and tn- Firat Rogiment of Ciugen At is regarded as likely b: ry © army officers that he will vieit Plattsburg next woek, Similar invitations were sent to Col.

NEED PRECIOUS METAL. Federal Reserve Board and International Bankers Confer by Cable. By Samuel M. Williams. (Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Confer- ences of international bankers are be- ing held to-day partly In person and partly over the wires between New York, Washington and London to de- vine some effective method of read- Justing the unbalanced financial situa- tion botween European countries and the United States. ‘The heavy fail in forelgn exchange and the piling up of English, French and Russian obliga- tions In this country Is threatening to disarrange world finance. The Federal Reserve Board to-day having before it any questions of American finance, for the balance is all our way, it was conaidered advis- able to take cognizance of conditions and to lend such informal assistance As might help readjust the state of affaira, Information ts received that addi. tional imports of gold are expected during the coming week, but they will not be sufficient to effect any perma- nent improvement Advices from New York say it is not so much the cur- rent supply of foreign bills floating in the market that is causing the dis- turbance in exchange as it is the enormous increase expected to come on the market in the near future on account of the enormous obligations incurred by the allies in purchasing supplies here, It is underatood that the discus- sions in highest financial circles have sifted the case down to four tentative propositions, as follows: 1. That the United States will soon be buying more foreign goods, thereby creating obliga- tions abroad. While there may be some increase in imports, the sug- gestion has been dismissed by the bankers as not effective immedi- ately or in sufficient amount. 2. Bal of American securities owned abroad. This has been go- ing on for some time, but the sup- ply is decreasing and not much relief can be expected in the fu- ture from this course, 3. Gold shipments to the United States. All European countries are endeavoring to hold to their gold and shipping it only as a last resort. They have been obliged to release some to meet emergencies, and unless something is done the recently started tide will drain all the hoardings of Europe within a short time. 4. Sale in New York of short or long term obligations of foreign governments or syndicates or bankers backed with some form of security. This would be equiva- lent to an extension of credtt to the allied nations to tide them over a year or more. ‘This last proposition is now being worked upon by financiers, but no decision has been reached. There is one suggestion of a government loan to be made by England, France and Russia jointly. Another plan calls for separate gov- ernment loans, backed by syndicate guarantees. A third proposition is for a syndicate of bankers to arrange a short term loan for which American securities owned abroad and other collateral would be deposited. It is considered inevitable now that Furo- pean nations must apply to the United States for a loan in some form and that good security must be of- fered for it Another consignment of gold is due to arrive ‘in New York early next week for the account of the British Government.

PARIS, Aug. 14.—A French crutser bombarded and destroyed the Wag- her works at Jaffa, on the Palestine | coast, the Ministry of Marine an- nounced to-da: The bombardment was ordered, it was explained, because the Germans were manufacturing arms and am- munition for the Turkish armies at the Dardanelles in the factory bulld- ings. Part qf the works was given over to the building of ships designed for an attack on the Suez Canal, The commander of the cruiser first notified the Turkish governor of the district that he intended to destroy the bulldings and gave the inhabi- tants of Jaffa time to leave the city, many of them moving out over the railway to Jerusalem. The factories were then blown to pieces. None of the neighboring byildings was dam: aged.
