ROBBERS BEING
HUNTED BY POSSE
IOWA TOWN IS TERRoRIZED FOR
HOURS BY BANDITS UNTIL
ARRIVAL OF HELP.

Clar1nda, Feb. 4.-Sheriff Whitmore
and posse of armed citizens are
searching the country about Sham
baugh for eight robbers who early this
morning made an unsuccessful at
tempt to rob the State Savings bank
at Shambaugh.
The robbers kept the citizens Of
Shambaugh In terror from 2: 10 o'clock
when the first of a series Of explosions
was heard until 8 80 a. m. None of the
explosions opened the big safe, how.
ever, and $4,000 in cash and large
sums in checks and drafts were un-
touched.
The first explosion awoke nearby
residents, who telephoned to Clarinda
for help. Sheriff Whitmore broke into
hardware store, obtained rifles and
revolvers and with a hastily organized
posse, fastened to Shambaugh in auto
mobiles.
The bandits saw the light Of the ap-
preaching machines and made their
escape in waiting automobile. Just
after residents had telephoned to Clar-

cut by the robbers. Several citizens
who left their homes to investigate the
explosions were met by the robbers
and ordered back to bed at the point
of revolvers.
All towns in Page county have been
notified and the authorities and armed
citizens are on the lookout for the
bandits The robbers, however, are be-
lieved to have gone south and may
have escaped into Missouri or Ne
braska
Later reports from Shambaugh said
that the entire front Of the bank and
one side of the building were blown
out and the inside badly damaged. It
was said the robbers used an exceed
ingly heavy charge Of explosives after
the first few discharges had failed to
open the safe. Shambaugh is seven
miles south of Clarinda.

Athens, Feb. 4.-"There is not any

month" said Marie Lemos of Chicago
one Of the Red Cross nurses who sur.

ship Brindisi, which recently struck a
mine In the Adriatic. She continued:
"The hideous rapidity Of the sinking
of the steamship Brindisi with her
decks covered with dead; myself shot
into the water, which was full OF
struggling youths trying to keep afioat
but disappearing one by one within
sight of land; the Austrian aeroplane
attacks ON San Giovanni di Medua and
Durazzo; the sight of hundreds of
Serbs falling exhausted and dying
from hunger and cold along the road
of their retreat through Albania-it
does not seem believable."

I'VE struck a mine at $3.50 o'clock

barded the town, killing eighteen OF
those who had just been saved.
From San Giovanni di Medua we
walked to Scutan and sought to join
the Serbian staff at Plavnica but six
days later the evacuation OF the town
took place.
"King Nicholas Of Montenegro
brought us to Scutad in his boat. He
is kindly old man who seems to un-
derstand, but Prince Peter says he
wants to give up the struggle and
again begin life as a private citizen,
in America.
From Scutari we walked five days
through sleet and snow over detest-
able roads, along which the hunger
weakened Serbs died like flies.
Reaching Durazzo, seven pursuing
Austrian aeroplanes bombarded the
town where the remnants Of the Ser
bian army were SO crowded that they
were unable to escape the missiles.
Many were killed and others wound
ed, and owing to the lack of medical
stores, the suffering was fr1ghtful."

Cecil sprsns-R the British am
bassador, today presented form
al demand on behalf Of ME govern
nsent, for the return to British
owners Of the liner Appan, taken
by = German prize crew. A new
diplomatic controversy with Great
Britain 10 foreshadovssd 40 the
United States practically has de-
clded to hold the prize 40 Ger
many's.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 4.-secre
tary Lansing indicated today that the
United States had decided to hold
that the Prussian-American treaty
governs the case Of tho Appam, a.
Germany contends, and that all that
remained to be decided was the inter
probation of the application Of the
treaty's terms
The secretary disclosed further that
the sole question to be decided by the
Interpretation was how long the Ap
pam should bs permitted 10 remain
in American waters.
The treaty guarantees to German
n the Appam were forced 10 depart
she would doubtless become the prey
Of British cruisers outside the Vir.
ginia capes. II forced to depart, Ger
man officials have stated the ship
would be sunk to prevent her capture
by the British.
Germany is expected to contend
that the treaty guarantees the Appam
the right to remain safe in Hampton
roads until the case goes before a
prize court for adjudication. Teckni-
cally the ship does not become Ger.
many's prize until such a court estab-
fishes the validity of her capture.

pam was overhauled, are in Norfolk
awaiting the sailing Of another New

The Appam is to remain at this port
until the Washington government de-

Teddy Is off OF Hughes
He Says Hughes Is Talking Himself to Defeat.-Instead
of Speaking On Anrericanisn, Hughes Is Talking
About One Man Losing Job. = Teddy Demands
That He Knock the German Alliance

All the Progressives, from Roosevelt
down, are disappointed with Hughes
performance in the west! Nothing, they
think, could be worse aSha.
Instead of talking "Americanism, -
Hughes has talked civil service reforms
Instead of denouncing the German
American alliance, as they expected he
would, he has denounced "extrava-
gance."
Roosevelt is all but ready to throw up
his hands and let Hughes and his man
ayers go the rest of the way alone.
Roosevelt fee1s-though he may not ad-
NIT it publicly-that he has been tricked
He probably will not say so openly,
but he. is not good at hiding his feel
ings, and find Roosevet's disappoint-
ment in Hughes an open secret at both
party headquarters here.
Roosevelt feels that he did not step
aside for Hughes in order that the ex-
justice might iriaugurate swat the
fly" campaign
He stepped aside because Hughes
agreed to accept the issue Roosevelt had
made for him.-the issue of American
ism-and because Roosevelt believed a
candidate standinq for this issue could
ueledt WllsOH. ne COIlSlueTcu Illc uc-
feat of Wilson a, a,patriotic duty.
Now the Roosevelt following feel
their sacrifice has been in vain and that
Wilson will probably be reelected any
how
Naturally, Roosevelt is bitterly disap-
pointed He took the Hughes statement
made after the Republican, nomination
at its face value.
The repetition of it in rpilder form
in Hughes letter of acceptance he made
the most Of but. when Hughes had
Travelled from New York to San Fran
cisco without mention of the Roose-
welt issues for an allusion to the Ger
man American Alliance, the Colonel be-
gan to realize that Hughes and his old
guard backing had accepted the issue in
the nominal and technical manner only
and had not intended to carry out its
spirit.
Is True to Form.
Hughes, in fact, has been perform
ing true to form and has been taking
his real advice from the Hitchcock Will
cox-Penrose old guard and not from any
of the Progressive camp. ot
So Roosevelt decided to show Hughes
The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1916-09-09

and the Republican campaign managers
what he thinks candidate ought to
talk about.
He thereupon sat down and wrote his
Maine speech, which was delivered in
Lewiston August 81, in which he did
not mention the Durand case, or the ap-
pointment of Z. Lester Jones, or talk
about Myron r. Herrick and the en-
bassy at Paris.
Instead, he repeated all the most saw
age things he had ever said about hy-
phenates and the foreign policy of Presi-
dent Wilson, specifically mentioning the
German-American Alliance by name, the
Lusitania affair, the killing Of Edith Ca
veil, the invasion of Belgium and the
murders" in Mexico
The speech contains 10000 words
all words on subjects not alluded to by
Charles Z. Hughes on his western trip.
The success of Hughes depends on the
extent to which he gets the Roosevelt
following.
Roosevelt could have beaten Hughes
by accepting the Progressive nomina-
ton He could beat him now by de-
.nouncing Hughes and his following as
unworthysof confidence
1t is not likely Roosevelt will do this;
having made ,his@deoision between Viii
son and Hughes, he will probably stand
by it. rs
But his standing by it does not alter
the fact asato his disappointment and the
disappointment of his following.
Nothing can hide the fact that Hughes
has chosen to steer clear of giving Of
fense to the German Americans, and is
determined to make safe and sane"
campaign on inconsequential issues,
rather than make slashing anti admin
istration campaign on the issues Roose-
welt devised to him.
