Great Britain Sacrificing Human Life to
Purchase Immunity for Civilization
and Cannot Draw Out Now

(By Roy w Howard, President Of the
United Press association, copyright

Britain)
London, Sept. 2S.-There is no end
of the war in sight.
Any step in the direction Of peace
at this time, taken by the United
States, the vatican or any neutral coun-
try would be construed as an unneu-
tral, pro-German move.
The United Press is able to make
these statements today on no less au-
thority than that Of the British man
Of the hour, the Righ Honorable David
Lloyd George, secretary Of state for
war in the British cabinet
Great Britain has been in only one
fight in the war. The British empire
has invested thousands Of its best
lives to purchase future immunity for
civilization and the stakes involved
now are too great TO throw away ac-
cording to the Welch statesman's size
up Of the situation.

Rush Springs Man Says Local Merchants
are Losing Money by Not Having
Better Roads

"Chickasha merchants do not realize
how much trade they are losing BY
not having a good road between here
and Rush Springs. 70 say nothing Of
roads connecting with other county
markets. remarked p G. Bell, Rush
Springs farmer to Secretary Ersland
at the Commercial and Farm Bureau
today shortly after the arrival OF the
visitor in this city. Mr. Bell is an ad
vocate OF the Ozark Trail but, like
many other farmers. he will be salts
fled with good roads Of any kind. The
point he wanted to make IS that many
people on the outside would come to
Chickasha to spend their money for
the pleasure Of riding over good roads
who would keep their money at home
in preference to travelling over bump

Leduc, proprietor Of fashionable Chi
cago clothing store and an expert golf
er, today identified the woman wound
ed by Mrs Harry Belzar while posing
as the wife of Joseph Gravier in the
Hotel Walton Tuesday night, as his

Mrs. Leduc was prominent in Gin
cinnati socially. Leduc said his wife
was the "squarest little girl in the
world,v and he expressed the opinion
that she had been drugged or held
captive in the room of Gravier. He
said Gravier was a friend Of his FAM
lily and was once prominent social
worker but the death Of his wife two
years ago drove him to drink.
Mrs. Leduc left Chicago September
10 to visit relatives in New York. Le-
due said he could not understand how
she happened to be in Philadelphia.
There is little that the police can do
in connection with the tragedy as both
Gravier and Mrs. Belzar are dead. Mrs.
Leduc has a chance to live.

ed bandits held and robbed Michigan
Central passenger train No. IA, bound
from Chicago to New York, in the out
skirts Of Detroit at midnight and es-
capped with the contents OF two regis
tered mail pouches
Fifty deputies who started a search
for the bandits as soon as the crime
was reported had found no trace Of
them at S o'clock this morning.
The passengers on the train were
not molested. The exact value Of the
loot obtained by the robbers has not
yet been determined. It is believed
that the bandits boarded the train at
YpslIanti, Michigan. They hid under
the tender and forced Harry Palmer,
the engineer. at the point Of gun, TO
stop the train half mile east Of Dear
born. suburb Of Detroit.
John Doherty, the fireman, showed
fight but was beaten into submission
with a revolver. One Of the bandits
uncoupled the mail car and compelled
the engineer to pull the detached sec
tion OF the train two hundred yards
down the track and then~obtained en-
trance to the mail car by threatening
to dynamite it. The robbers secured
the registered pouches from the mail
clerks by the same tactics.
Leaving the engineer and clerks in
the mail car, the bandits ran the en-
CINE in the direction Of Detroit. 1t was
found later a mile away with fires
dumped. The bandits are believed to
have continued their way into the city
in an automobile.
