LONDON, Jan. ll.-American com ment on the British preliminary reply to President Wilson's protest against tho detention of American shipping by British warships was read with great pleasure at the repeated evi dences of the frjendly spirit with which the negotiations are proceeding. The British foreign office, it was pointed out-by -officials there, never maintained that the partial statistics concerning American trade with Eu ropean neutrals were conclusive, but, on the other hand, that they were merely suggestive.

GUARD AND WATCHMAN OVERPOWERED AND TIED HAND AND FOOT SLIDE DOWN ROPE FROM 4TH STORY Four Long .Termed Prisoners, Up for Forgery, Murder and Rob bery, Break For Liberty. (By AttoeUt?l Prem.) RICHMOND, VB., Jan. ll.-After overpowering and tying band and foot, successively an armed guard/ and arm ed nightwa.chman and a shop fore man, four long-term convicts, serving terms for forgery, murder and rob bery, slid down on a rope from a fourth story window of the State pen itentiary here tonight and after scal ing a 30-foot wall, made a clean break for liberty. The men were H. L. Hamilton, sent up for forgery, who hud about seven years yet to serve; Slier Atkins, for second degree murder, with 10 years yet to serve; Al Burton, second degree murder, whose term would have ex pired In 1932, and E. B. Hanley, rob bery, who had Ave years yet to serve. Tho escape was sensational and evidences point to a carefully laid plan. The men left behind them a signed note, attesting a mutual agr?ment to make a break for liberty as the only recourse left to them to obtain jus tice. The men possessed good voices and sang regularly as Ute quartette In the penitentiary choir. They were all skited workmen employed as cutters In the shirt and overall shops, which is located on the fourth floor of the penitentiary building. At a Ute hour tonight the men were still st large The men were at work In the shop with one guard over them. Ode step ped behind the guard ostensibly to get a bolt of cloth and the others ap proached as If to assist In carrying lt In a moment the men-seised the guard, disarmed him, tied him securely with ropes taken from beles of cloth sud gagged bim to prevent outcry. In a few moments the night watchman on his round of the building was confronted by the pistol taken from the guard, aimed point blank at his heart. In the hands of one of the convicts. He, too, was hound and gagged and his revol ver taken away. The mea then await ed the return of the foreman, who had left the shop for a few minutes. When he arrived he was confronted with two revolvers, the artillery'filch ed from the men or. the floor. He was unarmed. The binding and gagging of the foreman tock only a bare twp or three minute? and has was laid to rest with his two companions. From their positions on the floor the bound men watched the convicts work at the preparation for escape with helpless interest. The men patched to gether a long rope from the blndtna of the bi'!- o? ?Vcresi ant? ahlrt mater ial- and tied one end of lt to a metal support In the shop. Then one after the other, they swung ont of the win dow and'made their way, hand under hand, to the ground 68 feet below. Before leaving the building they dis robed, leaving their sprlped outer ?rments behind them. They dressed tinsel res In the shirts and overalls which were scattered about ' In pro fusion in the shop. The escape was discovered through William Balley .a trusty, whose duty required him to be at work in the yard of the overall fatcory. He be came uneasy when tho night watch man failed Vi put In appearance ct the regular time. * When more than halt an hour had passed and the wt lehman had not appeared, Balley st/nek out on a tour of Investigation. In the cut ting room of the overall department on the fourth floor he discovered the watchman and his two companions. He lost no time In cutting the honda which held them and removing the gags from their mouths. Leaving the men to regain the use of their cramped limbs, Bailey rush ed-down to the yard to raise the, alarm. Superintendent X. B, Wood, of the penitentiary, was jet once notified and, the alarm became general. The tying a*i;l gagging or the guards was not without touches or sardonic humor. When sll three bad been se curely tied andjllsposed of, Hamilton, the boy forger, surveyed t;?e hand work ot the quartette abd Inquired of the bbund men If they were perfectly comfortable. Noticing a negative ?estuve by ene ot the men, he aa? His companions gathered some loose ov erall material lying on the tables, and forming (hem into impromptu pil lows, laid them .under the 1WMI??? ??..'o avada?, This done. Hamilton approached the guard, lying flat on his back on the floor. Turn over on your side," he com manded. The guard complied. Ham ilton bent down and kissed him on his "Bye-bye., old ?r^V ne said, "and good luck::" Pwore leaving the cutting room the convicta rifled the pockets of their victims, taking with them tho small amount of money their pocketa con tained.
