were cut
Ten minutes later the three i'm
prisoned in the vault were released
and the police were notified. A

al automobile.
until r. e. Ford, patron, came into
The bank. He heard cries from the
vault and learned that the employees
had been imprisoned there. The
cashier called the combination of the
vault to Mr. Ford, who released them.
Up to II O'Clock tonight no clue had
been secured through which it was
hoped the robbers might be appre-
bended. The bank employees were
able to give very good description
OF the three men. as follows:
One man. apparently the leader of
the gang, was ) feet II inches in
height. weighing about 100 pounds.

35 or 40 years. He wore a dark suit
and hat

age, 5 feet 10 inches in height, and
weighing about 155 pounds; dark com.
plexioled, smooth shayen, wore darn
suit and gray pin-striped trousers.
The third was about 5 feet Z inches
tall, weight about 140 pounds; dark
hair and eyes, wore light gray hat,
which it is believed he later changed
for cap. Age about 25 years.
Ten minutes after the robbery was
reported the police had thrown a
dragnet about the city and descrip-
tions of the mea were telegraphed to
neighboring cities

FRENCH CAPTURED STEINBACH
Berlin Acknowledges Loss of This
City After Desperate House to
House Fightina-Situation on East
ern Front Unchanged.

London. Jaa. 40 p. m.-The
latest news from the battle fronts in
dicates but little activity, the lull evil
IDENTITY being caused by bad weather.
Steinbach. a village of upper Asace,
is now in the hands of the French
after house to house fighting. This
loss Berlin admits.
The day was marked by artillery
duels. with occasional infantry dashes
for slight gains, but the line from
the Disc to the sea was almost com
pletely calm.
German headquarters declares that
the situation on the eastern front re-
mains unchanged
Politically, the American note still
occupied prominent position, divid-
ing attention with speculations as to
what Roumania and Italy intend to
do. The answer of the British gov
ernment, it is expected, will be sent
to W ashington late this week.
1t is understood here that Great
Britain has reached such satsfac
tory understanding with Italy with
regard to trans-saipment of contra
band that no cargoes destined fol
that country have been stopped since
December 4.
British officials declare that tht
relief of American shipping from the
present regulations depends largely
on the assurances of neutral states
bordering on belligerent countries
that they will not assist in supplying
Germany Austria or Turkey with
food products and munitions of war.

AID SHIPPING CONDITIONS


WaShlngtOH Jan. i.-'Sir CecI
Spring,Rice, the British ambassador
called at the state department today
for the first time since the American
lote Of protest on shipping was sen,
to Great Britain. He conferred with
Counsellor Robert Lansing.
Though he had received no instruc.
tions as yet concerning the answer
which is TO be made to the American
note the British ambassador ac-
knowledged that it would be of a
most friendly character 1t is under
stood that Sir Cecil regards the
American note as moderate in tone
compared to the usually preemptory
and mandatory tenor of notes of this
kild passing between neutrals ana
beiligerents in times of war.
That Sir Edward Grey in his talks
with Ambassador Page similarly
showed that England received the
American note in a most amicable
spirit and intended to ameliorate the
shipping situation so far as was pos
sible was learned today from high
officials here.
Another Development which is re
garded as aftording a solution of one
OF the points under dispute between
Great Britain and the Ulited States
is the decision Of The Washington ad-
,f.+ 80 4
goes as to the exact contents before
leaving American ports Secretaries
Bryan and Redfield and Acting Sec.
retary Peters of the treasury depart
ment conferred today on the formu'
lation OF a circular to be issued to-
morrow urging cooperation between
American exporters. shippers and the
government in regard to the mani
tests of neutral ships used to carry
American cargoes.
Exporters will be urged to accom-
pany their projects with aftidayits
telling exactly the contents Of their
shipments.
The following statement was issued
today, forccastiIg further action in
steps that are expected to relieve
American ships of the hardships OF
dctentions and extended search:
The treasury department has au-
thorized the collector of customs at
Savannah Ga, to have vessels bound
TO foreign ports loaded under the su.
peryison or inspection of the customs
officials, upon application in Writins
by the owners or agents OF the yes
sells. or the exporters, and to give an
appropriate certificate Of cargo as
shown in the mantests. The customs
officials. however, will aot attempt To
determine or certify whether any
part Of the cargo is or is not contra
band of war. Doubtless the same au-
thority will be extended by the trea s.
uIy department to the customs Off
cials at all our ports wherever de-
sired Complaints have been made
that in some instances the ships
manifest does not contain all the
cargo aboard and this action of the
treasury department is no doubt in
response to these complaints
