ROBBER MAAES A RICH HAUL
Takes SEQ in Currency from Cedar
Rapids National Bank-TelIer
Temporarily Insane.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Aug. 5.-The Ce-
dar Rapids National Bank was held
up and robbed of $21, 800 early today
by robber, who at the point of re-
volver, compelled PEG Perrin, the pay
ing teller, to open the vaults and after
ward locked him up.
Perrin was discovered a prisoner
in the vault about fifteen minutes lat
er in state of temporary insanity as
the result of his experience and was
removed to a local hospital. where his
condition at noon was said by physi-
clans to be serious.
The robber is believed by officials
of the bank to have remained in the
building all night After he had filled
his pockets with the currency he es-
capped and no trace of him had been
found at noon.
Perrin went to the bank early to
make up shipments of currency for
country banks and had just opened the
outer door of the vault when the man
stepped before him, according to his
incoherent statements to the police.
The robber held revolver to Perrin
head and ordered him to open the re-
naming doors, and then ordered him
to enter, hands in the air. The rob-
Der followed and filed his pockets
with $4,000 in currency.

says:
by the time Congress convenes the
question of Mexico should be settled.
The situation may grow so desperate
before December that a special ses-
sion viii be required to secure author
ity to raise troops. We have excellent
authority for saying that the Presi-
dent has now determined upon pro-
gram of action in the case of Mexico.
His agents are now working with
very little prospect of success to bring
about peace without the use of force.
Later an embargo on the importation
Of arms into Mexico will be laid by

will be the Strengthening of the force
of troops on the border, all of the
troops in the United States will prob
ably be in Texas and ON the border in
month or two. This action may be
delayed until late in the fall. Then a
part or all Of the Atlantic and Pacific
fleets will be ordered to Mexican wa
ters and the marines will be concen-
trated in that locality.
1T is generally agreed that the pres
ent regular army, if it were raised to
war strength, could drive from the
field all of the armed Mexican forces,
capture the City of Mexico and defeat
all of the Mexican armies if they were
combined into a single force; but a
large volunteer army would be needed
to occupy the country and restore or

incidentally, such developments in
the Mexican situation would assist the
administration in solving a problem
of national defense, so. far as an in
crease in the regular army is con-
cerned- At the close of the Mexican
Intervention at least part of the vol
unteer force could be made perma-
nently a part of the regular army.
Doubtless many of the volunteer Off

London, Aug. 5.-After trying three
weeks to force the Russians to evacu-

and pressure from the west, the Aus
tro-Germans have commenced attacks
on the fortress of the capital and
those of Lomza and Ostrolenka. to the

Mackensen Continues Advance.
In the meantime Field Marshal Won
Mackensen slowly is advancing from
the southeast between the ViStula and
the Bug in an effort to cut off the
Russian armies, which apparently are
making leiSurely exit from Warsaw
and the western lines. while General
Won BuelOw. in his wider encircIing
movement through Courland, has
reached KupischL some fifty miles
west of Dvinsk on the Vilna-Petrograd
Railway
Although the operations of Won
Mackensen and Won Buelow appear
to offer the most dangerous threats
to the retiring Russian armies, the
Russian general staff is paying more
attention to Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg, who has been trying with
more or less success to force the line
of the Narew. Here the Russians are
offering the most stubborn resistance
and, according to an official dispatch
from Petrograd, in two battles OF
three days each, succeeded in check

losses on them. The Russians also
admit severe casualties.

Didn't Look Much Like Hard
Times in Western Canada.

A. Meyer, WHO left one of the best
Counties in Minnesota, probably be-
cause he got a good price for his ex-
cellent farm. and left for the Canadian
West, writes to his local paper, the
Bagley Independent His story is well
worth repeating He says:
ITO say / was greatly surprised
when l reached Saskatchewan and Al
berta would be expressing it mildly.
In country where SO much suffering
was reported. I found everyone in
good circumstances. and especially
all our friends who have left Clearwa-
ter and Polk counties. They all have
good homes and those who were re-
ported to have sold their stock through
lack of feed. l found with their barns
full of stock. and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from $50 acres to two sections of the
finest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres
in crops this year.
Prospects for bumper crop are
splendid. 1t is a little cold now, but
nothing is frosted, either in gardens
or fields. Land can be bought quite
reasonably here from those who vol
unteered their services in the Euro
pean war. Here are certainly the
best opportunities for securing a good
home with a farm and independence
for life in a short time. Before

CRUDE OIL PRICE GOES UP

Tulsa, Ok, Aug. 3.-The first ray of
hope to the oil industry in more than
a year was the posting of a 1O-cent
advance in oil by the Prairie Oil and
Gas Company at the opening of the
market this morning, quickly followed
by the Texas and Gulf Pipe Line COM
panies.
This means a 25 per cent increase
in the revenue of every oil lease in the
Mid-Continent Oil Field Many small
properties which have been closed
since oil went down will now be oper-
ated at a profit.
