town where the operations were re-

American minister Stovall at Berne
cabled asking that all schools and

formed that teachers in Switzerland
must remain in that country until
they have arranged for transportation
to leave. This was interpreted by de-

GREAT REJOICING AMONG.
THE STRANDED TOURISTS

Rome, via London. Aug. 15.-The
American ambassador. Thomas Nelson
Page, has issued a notice that the
American government is sending to
Europe transports capable of taking
home 5000 Americans. The announce
ment has caused great rejoicing among
tourists and others anxious to leave
the country. 1t is thought possible
that further means of transportation
will be provided. There are about g.
coo Americans in Italy alone. while
there are proba bly, 1000 in Switzer-
land. Some of the Americans sought
to charter an italian steamer but the
company asked a guarantee for the
trip of $4,000. This would make the
most expensive abins s1.40o ca CHI and
the ordinary cabins 5000. It is be-
lieved that the e-eSta bliShment of the
service of the British liners will re-
lieve the situation.
Although a sufficient number of re-
plies have not been made to inquiries
Of the American government, officials
were confident their project would be
successful.
A German-owned ship is ready to
take Americans from Austria and an
effort had been made 70 ensure her
neutrality. Two German ships are
ready to take Americans from Genoa,
but are awaiting definite assurances
as to neutrality If they carry Ameri
cans alone.

to secure the naturalization under the

IL which reached here today contains
a manifesto to the German nation by
General Stein of the German general

against believing any statements ex-

staff It says:
In England and France falsehoods

You Germans have too much faith
in your government to accept rumors
too easily.
The English accuse us of having
exchange for her neutrality Such
charges are beneath contempt and
demonstrate the righteousness of our
cause and the wickedness of our enc
mics.
You Germans also are spreading
rumors of victories and defeats such
as the German occupation of Be1fort
and the destruction Of French regi-
ments wholesale.
Everything will be published a the
proper time and we have given our
word that nothing shall be exaggerated
and nothing minimized.
Few except those who are expert
enced in warfare can know or show
with what difficulties victories are

Blew Safe
 Secure $5,0OO
Rob Bank At Humphrey And Get Away In Mysterious
 Manner.

Stuttgart, Jan. 27.-FiVe men
 blew open the safe in the bank
 of Humphrey, Arkansas, with
 nitroglycerine early this morn
 ing and escaped with nearly Y5,-
 900. Humphrey is l5 miles west
 of this city on the Cotton Belt railroad. The vault was wreck
 ed.
 T. J. Carr, proprietor of the
 hotel, and Dr. Bum were arous-
 ed by the explosion. They were
 ordered back to their homes at the point of a revolver and kept
 under guard until the robbers were ready to leave. Before blowing the safe, the men broke a window in the sta tion and cut all telegraph cables and also cut all telephone wires, leaving the town without com- munication. In addition, they
 had made a barricade between
 the bank and the business sec tion and would have been able
 to hold off other citizens had
 they been aroused. The build ing, a one-story brick, was bad ly damaged.
 The robbers made a clean 'get- away. It is not even known which way they went. The bank was left without any funds. Cashier E. B. Stokes to- day made arrangements to se- cure money from Pine Bluff, This was delivered to him this afternoon and the bank will con- tinue business.
 The loss was covered by in surance. A reward has been of. fered for the capture of the rob-
 bers.
 l This robbery is similar to that
 of the bank at Gillet, Arkansas several weeks ago.

Attempt Made At Wynne.

Wynne, Jan. 27.-An unsuc- cessful attempt to enter the vault of Wynne Bank and Trust Company was made last night. It is supposed that the would-be robbers were frightened away. The only thing missed from the bank is a revolver. The robbers gained entrance by prying open the front door. A small hole about seven inches deep was drilled into the wall beside the vault door. A print of a finger and of a palm was left on the wall, the only clue. The escape was made through the back window. A small watchmakers' shop was entered also but noth- ing of value taken.

 Little Rock, Jan. 28.- One hundred and six citizens of Rus sellville objected any curtailing of the rights and prerogatives of their domestic fowls to roam at will over the streets and lawns of the community. January 8 the city council passed an ordin- ance forbidding chickens, ducks, geese and other fowls from run ming at large, the same to be- come effective February 15. Up- on the advice of Attorney Gen. eral Moose that the ordinance is subject to reference under the lniative and Referendum a. mendment, the citizens who op- pose the prohibitory legislation secured enough signers to sub- init the ordinance to a vote of the people. The petition was filed Tuesday with the Secretary
