New York, March 24.-Mrs.. Mary
strangmann,,a rich widow OF Buff
falo, again today gazed longingly az
one portrait after another: in the roT
CUES gallery; il the vain hope Of see;
ing OR. Carl Edwards, German
physician and college professor"
who she says, fled from Lord q lay
lor's store on March 10, with her
handbag containing jewels, worth
$4,000 and $500 in cash, which she
gave him to hold while she tried on
gown.
At the same time the police contln-
ued their systematic hunt through
the pawnshops of the metropolitan
district for the missing jewels and
spread their description broadcast.
The hardness Of the local department
in getting to work was due to Mrs.
strangmann's reluctance to make
public her loss and her consequent
effort to find the jewels and the Ger
man through private detectives VINO
have been looking for him in a num-
her of large cities.
Mrs. Strangmann's acquaintance
with the young German dates, from
shortly after the time she became
possessed of valuable brewery prop
critics upon the death OF her nus
band, Carl A. Strangmann.
Once Mrs. Strangmann showed ed
ward" q photograph of herself, which
displayed her wearing the now mis-
sing iewels-a pearl necklace that
was a wedding present from her hus-
band, valued at $4,000; three dia-
mond rings worth $4,000, $4,000 and
$1,000, and a number of pieces OF less
value. That led to discussion of jew
els in general in the course Of which
the man remarked that he once had
been engaged to a young girl who
wore a 100000 necklace, and that he
would like to see Mrs. Strangmann's
Jewels. The widow promised him
that as soon as she came to New
York she would wear them some
night for his special benefit.
She came here early in March and
met Edwards at dinner party where
she wore all her ornaments. The man
displayed great interest in them
Next day he invited her to accom-
pany him to restaurant. She did,
carrying the jewels ard the $500 ir
her handbag. Then the couple went
shopping, Mrs. Strangmann told the
police. She liked gown at Lord
& Taylor's and handed her escort the
handbag to hold while she went into
a fitting room to try it on. She has
not seen Edwards" or the handbag
since.

"BAYONEr FACE" APPEARS.
Cheerful Looking Youths Become
Warriors With Bloodlust.

The bayonet face has appeared in
camp. Practically every one of the
$4,000 enlisted men now here is the pos
SCISSOR of it some time or other during
the day. This new face, which comes,
as its name indicates, while the men
are being taught to use the cold steel
on. imaginary Teutons, transforms the
owner from a smiling, cheerfu1-looking
youth into q stern warrior filled with.
bloodlust and a determination to wreak
vengeance on the enemy
This is not imagination Any visitor
who will watch the soldiers at this can
Torment will see that it is~so. There
are several reasons for the transforma-
ton. One of them is that the instruct
/ors put so much snap into their work,
are so eloquent in their bayonet thrusts.
and jabs, that their spirit of sincerity
becomes contagious. Another reason is
that the men are taught to always keep
their eyes on the point of. the bayonet.
In following out these instructions the.
soldiers have to assume a look Of un-
faltering determination and eagerneEs.

NO BIG MOVEMENT Of

Abandoned.

ANY thought entertained by officers

ago that troops might be sent from
here to the western front in very
short time because of the situation on
the italian front has been definitely
abandoned.
An officer In a position to talk with
authority has declared definitely that
40 considerable movement Of troops
from this camp to France is to be ex-
pected before March.
Iris is. of course, subject to chang
ing conditions in the war theater, and
60 plans OF the War Department, which
are subject to frequent revision.
There is. however, no immediate in
tention OF sending fighting men from
here, q statement which will be of vital
interest to countless households which
had been agitated by the hint of some
days ago that such a movement might
be made very shortly.
The casual movement to France or
an occasional man or small group of
msen chosen because of some particular
technical skill or knowledge for the
work behind the fighting lines is like
1y to continue from time to time, how
ever.

Sammy is to be card-indexed. In that
way Uncle Sam will keep track Of every

tached in any way to his armed forces.
The card index will permit prompt

will we over here know who over there

know where that American boys near

This system will do a lot toward
heading of the wave of casualty

spread in America. The card index
plan makes 1t impossible for any
Sammy to be wounded captured or
slain without his nearest relative being
promptly notified. II no such notice is

Every man in the Army, whether
officer or private. will be indexed by

Army orders or casualty lists With
the description of each soldier will be
given the name of his next Of kin, with
