ing with Generals Sibert, Bunday and
other generals, entered automobiles.
They were whisked away for miles
through a score of hamlets, where
women, children and old men throng-
ed the roadsides to cheer the great
men and Frances newest allies. Far
off bugles blended with bands of the
American contingent. The sammies
welcomed the distinguished party to
certain small town where they
dined in the mess room.
Joffre later received newspaper cor
respondents and expressed his pleas
ure and satisfaction at the opportun-
ity of seeing the Americans. In the
afternoon Joffre and Pershing in a
binding hail and rain storm, trudged
over the slippery, muddy field, in
speeding a big American officers
training center.
In the evening, returning to Gen
eral Pershing's headquarters, the in
speeding party was greeted by the
same inspiring scenes that must have
moved them on the trip out. Sam
mics and poilus everywhere formed
solid walls Of khaki and faded field

their bugles glinted in the expiring
sunlight as Joffre and Pefshing pass
ed through again.

THE BANK Is INSURED
Safe Containing Bulk Of the Banks

Burglars Take Auto

Especial to The Gate City.l

topSCldl ~ LIE ddlS w.
KAHOKA, Mo-, Oct. 16.-The Elk
change bank, one of Clark county S
strongest financial institutions was
entered by ''yeggs' at an early hour
this morning and about $500 in
money and $4,000 in stamps taken
from the vault. The safe containing
the bulk of the banks money was
not disturbed. The stamps had been
received the day previous.
A Ford car belonging to Mr.. FL
well is missing and it is presumed
the yeggs made their escape in this.
The car was appropriated from in
front of the Commercial hotel.
The burglars first entered the
garage Of ]. e. Beatty. A car was
taken and driven to the Hall &
Howell garage, one-half block north,
where it was filled with gasoline
and cylinder Oil. but failed to run
and was abandoned. The garage was
broken into and the key to the fill
ing tank was procured from the wall.
evidencing the fact that the burglars
had famliiarized themselves with the
premises. The Ford car was then
taken, driven to the garage, filed
with oil and then to the bank
Entrance to the building was made
by the front door. No explosives
were used in gaining admission to
the building or the safe. 1t appears
to have been a well planned robbery
and the indications are that local
talent had part in it.
The bank is insured against burg
larry. The loss of the stamps is
Uncle Sans.
S. S. Hitler is cashier and Walter
White, president of the bank robbed.
There is no clue to the burglars.
The car used by them In making
their getaway will probably be aban-
doned and later returned to the
owner.
