Masked and Armed Men Secure and Escape Gold Brick at

Armed and masked robbers com

 the jaw with a revolver butt and both men were then gagged.
 After searching through tho room until they found the gold brick, the two men left and escaped in the darkness. over an hour later one of the men managed to get his gag off and his calls for help were heard by the watchman who released the two men.
 A searching party was at once or ganized and traced the men along the beach to the Golden Horn Mill, several hundred yards north of the store building, but there the trail was lost in the melting snow and among the rocks.

Why PRINT THOSE ATROCITIES

Some readers OF the Times Repub
lican have wondered why compi,a :
ton of atrocities committed by the
Germans was printed in this news
paper. What was the object in open
ing such a chamber of horrors?
In the first place this Information
was printed because the United States
government sent 1t out to the news
papers with request that IL be print
! ed. Practically every atrocity there
| reCounted had been printed before but
people doubted its accuracy. Germans
in America and their neighbors know
ing Germans to be good citizens in this
country could not believe that towns
would be burned and non GAMBIA tant
women and children forced by German
soldiers under orders at the muzzle
of guns back into the flames to be
burned alive. This any many other
atrocities seemed so inhuman that no.
body could believe them possible until
the department Of state at Washing
ton held documentary evidence as to
all of them.
The people of the United States are
entitled to know what is true and what
is not. The newspapers are entitled to
verification of what they have been
printing if the official records are
available and our government wants its
people to know that forty years Of
militarism in Germany have raised a
nation Of irhuman brutes and fiends
who are as much outlaws in their war
as a mailman let loose in kindergar-
ten. Frightfulness is German strategy
in war today and the world must know
it before this war can be won.
If it makes people Of German de-
scent sad it can not be helped Every
atrocity published by the government
is true and the document cited which
brings the evidence. There is nothing
for such citizens to do but to realize
brought their race to this barbarism
and then turn in with all their might
to help their adopted government free
the common people Of Germany from
the Thing, as President Wilson calls
it. that has made such fends Of their
soldiers in this war. With mlitarism
destroyed and the dream Of enslaving
the earth once blasted the common
people Of Germany can again be made
respected members Of civilized society.
