Monroe, Jan. THE State
Bank of Wingate was entered
Tuesday night by a burglar who
broke the plate glass in the front
door and made an entrance in
that way. A number of matches
were burned before the safe and
the stubs were left lying on the
floor. The burglar evidently
took a good look at the safe, but
he did not open if. The cash
drawer was pulled partially open
but 700 pennies in the drawer
were not taken out, and in all
probability the burglar did not
see them, for they were in a
box in the back part of the draw
er and the pennies was the only
money not in the safe. II is not
known what time of night the
bank was entered.
A memorial service will be
held at the Presbyterian Church
on next Sunday evening to the
honor of the late Robert Ney
McNeely, who recently came to
his death in such a tragic man.

In Holland Where Just What to

Correspondence Of Associated Press.)
THE HAGUE. Netherlands. Feb.
10-The question whether a deserter
who enters neutral country in war
time should be informed. and. if so.
whether he should be extradited with
his ordinary informed fellow-soldiers
at the end of the war--that is to say,
In most cases delivered up to certain
death-are aspects Of the deserter
problem that have been raised in
acute-form in Holland.
However good the general spirit
in the German army. German desert
ers have been slipping over the
Dutch border, especially that adjoin-
ing Belgium. every now and then
ever since the first two or three
months of war: and although many
of them either manage to get hold OF
civilian clothes beforehand, or secure
them on this side Of the frontier, in
which case they usually escape ar
rest. there are at present between
thirty and forty German deserters,
actually interned in this country, a
number of whom have been in that
position for many months.
During the great Ypres offensive Of
the Germans In an early stage of the
war, when their losses were so
heavy, the number OF deserters WAS
reported to be very considerable.
Since then such arrivals have less
frequent, but they still continue. The
causes that lead to desertion are
many and varied. In one case the
horror OF the trench warfare and

after such an experience
receives the order to return to the
fighting line. and for some OF the
men suffering from the moral and
physical strain the prospect proves
too much; they grasp at an opporlu-
nifty to escape. In another instance
the deserter attributes his act to bad
treatment on the part Of the officers,
the sort of thing to which German
Socialist deputies have recently been

DESERTER PROBLEM
is BECOMING ACUTE
lere to ioln the I,rench ARMY.

here to join the French army.
Desertion is as dangerous. per-
haps. II not more dangerous in most
cases than service in the trenches.
Some men have arrived on Dutch soil
by swimming across the river Scheldt
from the Belgian to the Dutch bank.
Not seldom would-be deserters have
been caught, and there can be little
doubt of their fate for those ac-
Quainted with military discipline.
For some time the agitation in ia
vor OF liherating German deserters
actually interned at Bergen in North
Holland had no result. It's promoters
enlarged on the mental torture which
these men were suffering. with the
prospect before them of possible ex-
tradition and execution, added to the
ordinary discomfarts Of internment.
Then finally the matter was brought
up In the Dutch parliament, and
ELECTED the declaration from the war
minister that those who could show
they were really deserters would not
be delivered up with the others when
peace came.
Petitions on the subject still con-
tlnue, however, the latest setting
forth that this intermcnt is not in
accord with strict neutrality, in that
every action which is not prescribed
by law or treaty and which has the
appearance of covert Intervention in
behalf OF a belligerent nation is not
neutral. and further because a de-
serter is only answerablc to and pun
ishable by his own military author
ity"
Such a recent petition-which
mentioned incidentally that means
were promised for eventual emigra-
ton to America-was signed by some
thousands of Dutch citizens, includ-
ing number of fairly prominent
people. but it is still very doubtful
whether the war Office will change its
mind on the matter once it has been
made up.
