EBERHART SPEAKER
Declares Indifference to War
Nothing Less Than Aid

New York. Oct. 13.-Former Gov

sofa, a native of Sweden, asserted at
a Swedish American loyalty meeting at
Carnegie hall here tonight that ii was
"the duty of every American citizen OF
foreign birth to declare in emphatic
terms his loyalty. when silence or in

a direct aid and comfort to the forces
that are seeking our destruction"
"Those who hail from the Scandi-
navian countries should remember that
the future existence of every small ma
ton is at stake in the war and history
has taught us conclusively that no
peace in Europe can be lasting unless
the future of the smaller nations is
safeguarded against invasion by their
powerful neighbors.
To-day when the empires of the old
world are rapidly crumblnE and the
hereditary crowns of their kings and

there is only one crown worth wear

ROBBERS GET $2,40O
FROM COUNTRY BANK
Cut Wires and Blow Safe in
Missouri Town.

st. Louis, Mo.-Four men in an
automobile drove into Sullivan, Mo-,
IS miles west of st. Louis, at . a. M.
and blew open and robbed the safe Of
the Peoples bank. after binding the
Frisco station telegraph operator and
two other men. and putting them in
a coal car.
After cutting the telegraph and
telephone wires, leaving the town
without means Of communication to
other towns, the robbers stole $2,40O
from the bank and $40 from the rail-
road station.
After driving into the town. the rob-
bers first went to the Bell telephone
office on the main street near the
railroad tracks and cut the cable
leading into the building.
They were heard by +. E. Gerber.
the night telephone operator, who went
downstairs to investigate. When he
reached the sidewalk the robbers tied
and gagged him. Gerber's 1s-year-
old SON, Ralph. then appeared, and
they also bound him. They then car
ried the Gerbers to coal car and
threw them in it.
The robbers next went to the Frisco
railroad depot, where one climbed the
semaphore pole and cut the main
telegraph cable. The other robbers
entered the station. They tied and
gagged Walter Edgar. the telegraph
operator. and put him in the coal
car with the Gerbers.
They robbed the station money
drawer and went to the bank build
ing, forcing open the door. Four ex-
plosions were necessary to blow open
the safe. One Of these aroused Joseph
Bennett former proprietor of the Ben
nett hotel in the same block. The
hotel is not now in operation.

LOST WORLD UNEARTHED
IN HILLS Of OKLAHOMA
Indian Hunter Finds Prehis.
toric Animals Alive on
Isolated Plateau.
EQUALS CONAN DOYLE
Usage Indian Describes Birds
Found With Leather
Wings and Teeth.

Arkansas city, Kas.-A lost world,
inhabited by birds with leather wings
and teeth, and thousands of other
strange and weird creatures, has been
found in the Usage hills. in wild and
only partially explored section OF
northwestern Oklahoma. The tale of
the lost world was brought here by
John Bruno, member of the Usage
Indian tribe, who has a reputation as
an explorer.
The story told by Bruno is as
strange as that related by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle in THE Lost World"
and it has the advantage of being pos
sible Of verificatio Bruno, himself,
is now making plans to equip a large
exploring party and next spring he
will go again into the Usage hills de-
termined to bring back concrete proof
of his story.
The lost world according to Bruno,
Is located on a plateau about mile
high, the sides of which are so steep
that 1t is impossible to climb them un-
assisted. He was alone when he found
the plateau and unable to scale the
precipitous cliffs.
Kills Strange Bird.
But what convinced him that animal
life on the plateau was the same as
that which existed several hundred
years ago was the result of a hunting
trip. Bruno saw a bird, of strange
appearance, and he shot 1t. He found
that it had leather wings without
feathers and that its mouth was
furnished with a complete set OF
teeth. Although he did not know that
the bird answers to the name. of pier
dactyl in science. he did realize that
1t was a strange species.
So steep were the cliffs leading up
to the plateau on all sides that the
animals on the summit were unable
to descend and the men below were
so far away that they could not dis
tinguish their characteristics except
that they were different from all ami
mails known to huntsmen.
So Bruno decided to return to civil
ization and get an outfit which would
enable him and his friends to return
to the Usage hills, scale the cliffs OF
the mysterious plateau, and see at
first hand the mysteries of the life
existing there.
The, plateau is completely isolated
from surrounding country. But Bruno
says that with the aid Of ropes and
plenty of men he believes the cliffs
can ;be scaled. Heavy rifles will be
carried by the men making up the
party in Nhe expectation that they
may meet with some Of the great AMI
mails deScribed in books devoted to

but he SWears he tells the truth and
he is determined to prove to the most
cynical that the lost world really ex-
lists. He is determined to bring back
to civilization specimens Of strange
animal life. carcasses, and skins.

entrance. He fired revolver at this
man and missed. He returned to his
room upstairs and heard three more
explosions In the bank. The last was
the loudest.
Bennett saw the four men run from
the bank, jump into their automobile
and drive east in the general direction
of st. Louis. He aroused other resi-
dents of the town, but an hour elapsed
before the telegraph operator and the
two Gerbers were found in the coal
car.
The explosions wrecked the safe and
bank fixtures and shattered the front
windows.
