AUTOMOBIL E BANDIT ROBS
TWO CINCINNATI BANKS
Got Away On Both Occa-
sions, But His Machine
Was Finally Wrecked and
He Was Killed In Revol-
yer Duel With Police.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cincinnati, Dec. 17.-Frank G. Hohl
an automobile bandit, was shot dead
by policemen here today after the
theft of an automo ollie, the robbery OF
two local banks of thirteen thousand
one hundred dollars, and a revolver
duel with officers.
The money was not recovered. The
police believe that Hohl in his wild
automobile drive, managed to pass all
money to confederates. One police
man probably will die Shortly after
ten o'clock Hohl entered the West End
branch of the Provident Savings Bank
and Trust Company; fired two shots
at Cashier Edward Hughes and seized
eight thousand dollars in currency. He
then backed through the door, jumped
into waiting automobile, and quickly
disappeared Hughes fired after him
without result.
More than an hour later Hohl en-
tered the bank Of the Liberty Banking
& Savings Co., fired two shots at
Cashier George Winters, took five
thousand, one hundI ed dollars and
again disappeared in the automobile
The shots went so close to Winters
that the powder burned mis- face, but
otherwise he was uninjured. About
two hours later the police noticed that
a man answering the description Of the
bandit was in an apartment house.
where he rented room yesterday. The
police went to the room. When they
knocked Hohl opened the door and
jumped past the officers, firing as he
ran. Policeman Knoul was then prob
ably fatally wounded.
The bandit succeeded in reaching
his automo bile, but in rounding a cor
ner with it he crashed into a tele-
phone pole and was wrecked. Two po-
licemen, who followed, killed Hohl
with four revolver wounds in the bat
tie following. Hohl is said to have es-
capped from a Pennsylvania Jail after
he shot up an Altoona bank. He also
is reported to have been wanted for a
diamond robbery in Kansas City, Mis-
souri,, year ago. The police say Hohl
usually had woman confederate, and
sea- lch is being made for her.

H. ). Government
Must Protect All
Exported Cotton
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 17.-wilIingness
and ability of the United States to
protect cotton shipments on the seas
is all that must be determined to
restore at least two-thirds of the ex-
port business with Germany, in the
opinion expressed by German spin
ners Writing in answer to inquiries
of Senator Smith OF South Carolina
as to cotton trade conditions in Ger
many, Addix and Cordes of Bremen.
said in letter laid before the senate
today:
THE question OF cotton import to
this country remains absolutely with
the American government and whether
this is strong enough or willing to
protect the interests or property of
American citizens crossing the ocean
under American or other neutral COL
ors from English capture"
Senator Smith wrote to cotton spin
ners in many European countries. In
Germany the supply of American cot
ton has been reduced nearly two
thirds. the letter stated, although men,
money and orders are available to
keep the mills at full time. Consump-
tion will be at least two-thifds OF
normal or 100000 bales annually, In
the opinion OF German spinners, if
cotton can be brought to them. Banks
have excessive credits and willingly
loan funds for cotton importation at
4 1-2 per cent 1t is added.
Spot cotton has risen to 1855 cents
a pound at Bremen because OF the
shortage, it was declared. About 30
per cent of the mills are working full
time the letter adds and in general
business is better than before the
war;
AS to the question Of transportation
the letter says:
I'VE do not doubt that in the event
of larger cotton shipments to certain
ports England under some pretense
will capture them if steamers are those
of the smaller European nations. We
would prNfer that shipments be made
in Americas boats.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Dec. 17.-An ''ade-
quate" number of both submarines
might have repelled the German cruIs-
ers which raided the English coast
yesterday, Rear Admiral Ffsks. aide
for operations, told the house naval
committee at todays hearing on the
needs of the sea defenses.
IF the British had had a sufficient
number of submarines they could
have stood Off the cruisers" said he.
IF the German vessels were going
fast, however, 1t would be very hard
for submarines to stand them on. ne
they had had a dozen or fifteen sub
marines at Hartlepool the British
would have been pretty hard to
tackle"
Admiral Fiske thought, that judged
by the situation abroad, the United
States was 'as well prepared today
for control of the sea as ever be-
FORE Leaving aside the fact that Eu-
rope was at war, however, he thought
the United States navy was not as
well prepared because other nations
have been going ahead In naval az
fairs much more rapidly.
Admiral Fiske thought the real sig
nifcance OF the German raid prob
ably was to draw out the British feet
and string It along the North sea
so 1t could be attacked by "A German
fleet.
The admiral told the committee that
whether we could take our subma-
rines to Japan Is doubtful" Imme-
diately, at the instance OF several
members the mention OF Japan was
stricken out
I'm case OF an attack on the Amer
lean coast" said the admiral, "our
Inc dequacy as to mines and air craft
would be very serious. There is con-
siderable development along that line
in the foreign nations. II We got into
war we might expect an attack or
our coast very quickly. possibly in
the vicinity OF New York"
"Do you consider the raiding OF the
British coast, as important as Il is,
like. the raid OF yesterday, has a Sc
rious effect bearing on the wars out
Gomez" asked Representative Roberts,
Of Massa ehusetts.
81 should not think that by itself it
would have a serious bearing on the
outcome. but II It operates to make
the British feet come around into the
North sea It would have a serious
effect" replied Admiral Fiske"
