THREE MASKED MEN
HELD UP A CROWD
Secured About $500 in Cash and $500
Worth of Valuables at Meriden,
Conn, Clubhouse.

Meriden, Conn, Sept. 2l.-Three men
with faces masked under handkerchiefs
and with guns in their hands lined up
fifteen or twenty men against wall in
the main room of the Silver Lake club
house on the Hartford turnpike at the
Berlin town line, early yesterday, robbed
them Of about 81 800 in cash and about
$500 worth of personal trinkets, such
as watches and rings.
Constable Gibney of Berlin came here
to discuss the incident with Chief Bow
an as the complaint had been laid in
that town, while all the men are sup
posed to belong in Meriden. The gun
men and club men remain unidentified.
Three automobiles belonging to men held
up were disabled as they stood outside
the club house, preventing pursuit when
opportunity came.
The story as related to the constable
was that the men were busily discuss
ing their questionnaires in the club
house main room when there was a
knock at the door In walked the three
men, their disguise being excellent. The
barrels of the guns in each hand were
described as being about nine inches in
length. One of the trio yelled Line up
boys, and don't be long about it," Some
of the club men thought it was little
by play and did not hurry and were in
ciined to Joke. The trio, however, be-
gan to close in and to prod the slow
ones with their guns and the men were
soon lined up with their hands and arms
elevated. One of the robbers then went
through the pockets Of each man with
one hand, his other holding gun. Cash
and jewelry were collected. Some of the
men did not want to give up watches
saying that they were gifts from theil
mother or valued merely as keepsake:
and several saved their time piece, es
pecially those who made the mother
plea. One man dropped his watch int
his trousers but he was seen and ordered
to step out of line, when he did thii
the watch slipped down his trouser lee
and was taken. When all the men haC
been searched the trio backed to thu
door, made some joking remarks anC
= then slipped out and disappeared.

AMERICAN INGENUITY
MAKES ITSELF FELT
In Construction Of Field Guns in the
Vast Workhouse of the Ordnance
Branch of American Army
in France.

Central France, Sept 90 (correspon-
dence of the Associated Press) Amer
can ingenuity is fast making itself felt
in the construction of field guns in the
vast workhouse of the ordnance branch
of the American army here.
One Of the American designs which
has won strong favor with the French
experts is the "split trailer" which ex-
tends back of the gun from the wheels
down to the ground. From the earliest
DAVIS of gunnery, this trailer has been
single piece. But the Americans have
split it in two from the ground up, so
that two great legs spread out backward
! from cannon,
The results have been astonishing, per-
hitting an ordinary field piece to be ele-
waited to so degrees, or almost straight
up.
The American design has now been
adopted as the standard French model,
and it is going into all the new guns
made at French arsenals. Official photo
graphs made by the ordnance branch are
now going forward for public exhibition
in America, showing this split trailer
firing at an elevation of 7340 degrees.
Here could be seen also every form OF
the death dealing vaccine gun which has
become such formidable weapon in the
present war.
"This is an age of mechanical war:
fare" said the officer, as he pointed out
the different types, French, English, and
American. as well as German and Aus
trian. "There were no machinegu guns used
in the Civil war, only few in the Span
ish. American and Boer wars; more in the
Russo. Japanese and Balkan wars; ant
now they have developed TO a foremost
place as an effective and deadly means o.
waISare."
Most of the nations are making tive
forms of these machine-guns, the heavy
; type weighing about 80 pounds, mounted
on a tripod and drawn by a mule, ant
the lighter automatic rife, weighing
, about Is pounds, fired from the shoulde
like an ordinary rife, and carried by hant
as it is not much heavier than the stand
ard l0-pound rife. Both types of thes
guns fire steady streams Of lead as tn
belts of bullets are fed into the reser
voirs, the only limit being the amour
Of ammunition which can be carried
with each automatic rifle are three mer
one TO fire and two TO keep up the stead
feeding of ammunition.

: gun makes favorable appearance

in arsenals and warehouses and in huge
parks and ammunition dumps all the
way from the coast up to the fighting
front. The great stacks Of shells are
very orderly in arrangement, each stack
representing a carload, and each graded
by calibre and lot number. Each lot Of
shells differs slightly in power, and the
only way to insure uniform accuracy in
the fire of battery is to keep it sup
piled with the same lot of shells.
Separate from the shells are the fuses
and grenades, kept in small detached
lots, owing to their highly explosive
character. In one Of these grenade dumps
there were is different kinds of gas,
hand and rifle grenades.

WAR AND MEDICINES
What Many of the Sick and Ailing Are
Learning Nowadays.

So many doctors have gone to war, the
services of comparatively few are avail

Good proprietary medicines are more
widely used than ever, and more and
more people are finding out how great
their merit is.
At this time, when there is greater
need of economy than ever before, Hoods
Sarsaparilla, thorough blood purifier,
Peptiron, a real pepsin-nux-iron tonic
and Hoods Pills, potent yet mild ca
thartic, are especially good and liked by
all by who use them.
These medicines are remarkably eff
cient, whether taken in conjunction OF
