The minister surveyed the onomic position of Germany in a reat debate brought about by a peialist interpellation in which Dr. einrich Brauns, the Minister of bor expounded the Cabinet's so- al policy. Dr. Curtius heran by eclaring that Germany's un'avor- ble trade balance was no sion of usiness depression, but was due plely to the flood of gold coming ito the country, which he pro- ounced good for Germany, The minister answered Socialist eproaches that the Government ad not defended energetically nough the German cities against he charges of extravagance levell- d against them hy saying thai the abinet had replied in the memor- ndum sent recently to Seymour arker Gilbert, the Agent-General or Reparations payments.

A tale was told in the witness box of how the accused, Wilfred McCartney, British, and George Hansen, (ierman, were led on to their undoing by false information supplied by an Englishman work- ing in connection with the urtish Se ret Servie-- a tale which sound- ed like some of the most fantastic imaginings of Oppenheim or Wil- lam Le Queux, Lloyd's Underwriter, The accused were arrested on in- formation furnished by George Monkland, a Lloyd's underwriter, who testified today that he recelv- ed money from McCartney for fake information regarding shipments of arms to Esthonia, Lithuania and | other States bordering on Russia. | He had supplied the information after consulting Admiral Sir Regt. nald Hall, Director of Naval Intel- ligence during the war, who de. ciphered the German secret wire-' less code and is described as one of the cleverest secret service chiefs in the world.

Underhay, manager of the St. Clair avenue and Vaughan Road branch of Loblaw Groceterias Com- pany, Limited, near his home, 14 Prescott avenue, forced him into a stolen car and drove him back to the store, where they made him open the saie and hand out several thousand dollars in cash. ! The money 'was thrown into a large shipping basket, covered over with cartons of biscuits, and carried out the front entrance to the waiting motor, In making their escape the rob- bers warned Underhay not to take time to close the safe or the front door of the store.

How It Happened In an interview Sunday Mr. Un- | derhay explained in full detail his ex- | periences with the thugs. "I closed the store at 11 o'clock, The money | was checked up and locked in the safe after wages had been paid to employees. It was about 11.25 when three female elerks and three men, along with myself, left the store. 1 got in a west-bound St. Clair avenue car and was carrying a parcel of groceries, At the end of the St. Clair car line I got off the car alone. {I walked across the railway tracks one block west and turned north on Pr tt avenue," Proceeding north on the west side of Prescott avenue, he noticed a car parked. As he got up to the car a man stepped out behind him. At the same moment he said, a door of the car opened and a man st pped cut from the front seat of th | The man from the car said arc Mr. Underhay. I guess yo what this is all about." At thi ture a black-barrelled revolve y pressed into -Underhay's side. He was then told to get into the car, "We are going ot drive you baci to the store to open the safe," onc ban- dit said to him. A third man was seen by Mr, Un- derhay sitting at the wheel. He, too, Lad a revolver. In getting into the front. se Mr. Underhay said, he could not see any person on the street. His hat grazed the top of the car 2s he was stepping in, and he put his hands vp to adjust it. A thuz standing behind him ordercd him to drop his hands and remain still, | Searched for Revolver As he stood silent, thé manager said, he was scarched for a revolver. I'he parcel of groceries was thrown into the back seat and the car, dri- ven at a fast clip, made its way back 'east along St. Clair avenue. The robbers cautioned the store manager that his "ride" would cost his life j if he made any attempt to raise an { alarm. Warning was given not to describe | the men of car to police. He was told that if they were confronted by | police gunplay would be resorted to. Puiling up east of Vaughan road on | St. Clair=avenue, the driver noticed two men sweeping the sidewalk in front of a butcher shop mear the Loblaw store. He speeded up the car and swung north on Bathurst street to Connaught avenue, Driy- | ing west to Raglan avenue, and then south, the car was brought to a stop about half a block north of St. Clair avenue. Here one of the men, tak- ing thé part of lookout for police, went on down St. Clair avenue, Be- fore leaving the car, Underhay heard bim remark to his confederates that if everything was clear he would raise his hat as a signal for them to come on down with the car. On reaching St. Clair avenue, the hat was raised, and the car pulled slowly down to St. Clair avenue. Wm. J. Underhay, Manager| 1, drove me over to 'the safe one asked if it was' any burglar alarm or if there were any guns in the office. I told them no, so they told me to crouch down open the safe, 1 was very nervous, and the first time I used the combination the door failed to m. I was warned to hurry up and be in readi- ness to drop should any one tty to come in the store.
