seats.
''Ill ride a piece with YOU" he said
At intervals during the thirty-fve

would shift his position, the pistol in
the robbers hand would shift to cover
him.
When the train pulled into the Kan

UNITED STATES TO PROTEST
Opposes Deportation Of BeIgians Into
Germany.

Germany.
Washington, Nov. 15.-Deportation
of Belgian civilians into Germany for
forced labor has reached such serious
proportions that American Charge
Grew at Berlin has been directed by
the state department. to take the mat
ter up personally with Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg.
The charge was requested to say
that such deportations cannot but
have a most unfortunate effect on nell
trail opinion, particularly in the United
States, which has the welfare of the
Belgian civilian population very much
at heart.
The instructions, it was learned
here, grew out of long report from
Charge Grew, in which he stated that
he had discussed the situation infor-
mally and unoficially with Under Sec
rotary of Foreign Affairs Zimmerman.
The latter admitted that a definite
policy had been adopted to enforce the
labor of Belgians in cases where they
would not work voluntarily, on the
ground that so many refused to work
as to make the strain on public char
ity intolerable.

The note was subscribed by Wis

BANDITS ROBTHREE HUNTERS
Men lured to Thieves Retreat in
Rainy Lake Island.

Rainy Lake Island.
st. Paul, Nov. 15.-With their valu-
ables taken from them by robbers
and left to die of starvation on de-
serted island in Rainy lake, three
hunters from Alden, Mimi, escaped in
a leaky skiff when one of their mem
bers feigned illness.
This story was brought to St. Paul
by Rev. J. D. Hollister of Kasson.,
The three Alden men, attracted by a
tale of good hunting, followed a
stranger to the island, sixteen miles
from International Falls
While hunting there, five bandits
took them prisoners, stole their mon
ey, watches and food and left them.
One of the hunters feigned illness.
The three were placed in the skiff and
set adrift. The hold-up took place in
Canada.
