Three Auto Bandits Flee
 Without Getting Cash

Peoria, H., September 4-Three auto mobile bandits fled late this afternoon without taking mine pay roll of s26,Ooo after they had shot and wounded two men, one dangerously and the money was virtually in their grasp.
 Railroad ties had been piled across the road near the Groveland Mining com pany's office by the bandits and when E. J Gustine. a detective, alighted from an automobile to remove the obstruction. he was fired on from nearby bushes. and fell with several buckshot wounds in his body. Walter Off, mine manager, then jumped from the car and as he fled was shot in one eye, the sight of which he will probably lose.
 The satchel containing the pay roll re- mained untouched in the machine, while the bandits, apparently frightened by the success of their markmanship, es- capped.

How the Austrians Fight

l4ucidn SWlft ktrtland, in IeSlie,S
 After four years of facing Boche war fare there is little urge towards any ehlvalrous intention ito give worthy Toe ms due, but nevertheless to the credit of those defeated Austrians It must be said that the battIe- held bespoke the fact that they had died the death of brave fighting men. The Austrian prisoners said that the lighting for sometime before the attack had been divided into five classes. The dividing was based on physical effective ness, and the quality and quantity of supplies were graded so that the last group Of old men and boys got nothing much except promise, and very little or that. The first group, or the storm troops were given the best of everything in food, clothing. quarters and equip ment can say this much in corrobora- uon; have seen 1500 storm troop pris- oners (they had been drawn from the distinctly German element of the north- ern Austrian empire), who were as well set up, as well fed and as well clothed as the soldiers of any army on any front. But have also seen another large group who, except the officers, were absolute ly pitiful in appearance. They were emaciated and sick with dysentery and so ravenously hungry that I shall never forget their lean claws of fingers reach ing out to us for food. Nothing can be deduced concerning German military strength or weakness by a single instance or example of conditions. If any break comes through internal collapse in Aus trial or Germany, to favor the allies, well and good, but any military campaign which relies upon such a hope is bid ding for the aid of a most elusive ally

Now for Supreme Effort

F From The Progress of the World,' In
 the American Review of Reviews.
 We may hope to see a very considerable retirement of the Germans toward the Belgian line before winter, but all mili- tary authorities on the allied side. warn us not to expect too much. America en- tered the war to help the right side win, and to establish peace on sound principles at the earliest possible moment. In or der to end the war decisively in the year 1919, every one of the allied powers must exert the greatest possible energy. When you make war you must concentrate, and your effort must be supreme. Otherwise you prolong the war, sacrifice life in greater measure, and multiply every kind of misery and disorder. What we propose to do, therefore, is to meet Germany 8 military challenge and to crush Teutonic force by the sheerYpreponderance of allied force. There is not the faintest present in- dication of any other decent alternative. Never at any moment since she began the war, more than four years ago, has Ger many been more fully committed to poll cies of conquest than during the past few weeks. Never at any time in all the cen- turies, if we read history alright, has 1t been more necessary than at this time to meet military aggression in the name Of liberty and human rights. It Is proposed. therefore, by the allies, not to compro- mise with German militarism, but to de- feat it thoroughly, and this can be done only by org anizing forces so powerful that it would be useless for Germany to make prolonged resistance.

 REJECTED BY PERU
Chamber of Deputies Defeat Proposal in Secret Session
 by Large Majority

Lima, Peru, September 14--A motion for a declaration of war on Germany made at a secret session of the Peruvian Chamber of Deputies last night waaede- feated by a large majority. Instead. the Chamber approved g motion presented by the minister of foreign affairs reading as follows;
 'The rupture of diplomatic relations between Peru and Germany on October 5, 1917, and the later acts of the Peruvian government resulting from said rupture altering the neutral policy of the coun- try, define the international situation of Peru in the present war and constitute a demonstration of the adhesion of the cause of liberty and right.
 This position, in the event of no new circumstances, should be maintained and unaltered as protest against the out rage of which Peru was the victim and assurance of our solidarity with the Great American democracy which pro- claims for the world the reign of jus tice.'
 It is expected that the Senate will approve the resolution.

 About october l opportunity will be giv- en all students who are IS years of age or over. and who are physically fit, 10 be inducted into the students army train ing corps After being inducted into this corps students will come at once un- der military jurisdiction. and will be paid 80, uniforms, subsistence medical attention. housing and military training They will be required to live in barracks and be under military rules and discipline. The regular school courses will be given subject to certain notifications required by the war department to attain the ends sought, and will be so arranged as to provide for regular smiiitary training and instruction.
 The s. A T. C. now offers to ths ambitious young man the only available opportunity of entering an officers train ing camp and all training and instruc- tions will be along lines designed to fl, him to become an officer of the army Should he fail to attain such ratlng, ne still enters the service at great ad vantage over those who have not nad such training. Provision will be made for training for the navy, and special army branches, such ass artillery, signal and engineer corps.
 There is vocational section of the $. A. T. C., and this branch is for the training of men IS years of age or over, who have had only grammar school edu- cation Their military status as to pay. uniforms etc, will be as above, but they will receive manual and vocational train- ing prin cipally. Upon application men of ability may be transferred from the vocational section to the collegiate sec tion. In order to enter the vocational section an application must first apply to his local board, and await their de- cision. The length of vocational train ing has not officially been stated, but there is no doubt but that it will last at least two ntonhs.
 Every high school graduate, and every young man IS years of age or over should avail himself of this opportunity to help his government, and himself by going to college this fall. Since the government defrays all expenses, there is no reason why colleges should not be crowded.

Uncle Sam Turns Modiste

ThOfnaS ", LOBdH, m LtsIIt
 General Pershing has requested the war department to consummate arrange ments for the issue of equipment to nurses and female employees of the United States army in France on the basis that govern the distribution of clothing to soldiers. Women connected with the American Expeditionary forces to receive pay less than s75 month are to get their clothing free. Those who earn s75 month. or more, will be class ed with army officers and permitted to purchase wearing apparel at cost. The sound judgement back of this arrange rent is obvious. The women who have volunteered for army work are impor- tant factors in the success of the war. They have sacrificed all thought of com fort or personal interests. and are en- titled to all the consideration shown to the men in the trenches.
