An entirely new form of road hold-up
with woman aiding three men in the

victim about midnight Wednesday. Doc
tor Bardsley had driven down to pond
below Paulsboro for n fishing trip and
was homeward bound when at point
near the White Bridge he was crowded
off the roadway and into a fence by
another car. The driver stopped. alighted
and very politely apologized for the mis-
hap, saying he had lost. control. One
of his companions Joined him and while
they stood conversng with Doctor
Bardsley the others started or in the
direction OF Westvile
Suddenly, the doctor saw the machine
stopped at the bridge. This must have
been a signal for action. as one man
dealt him a blow that felled him. One
grabbed his pocketbook, containing
about $50, and the other made lunge
for his watch. The machine then ran
back to the point and the quartet was
off in a minute.
Sheriff Hendrickson, in this city, was
appealed to and with some officers went
to the scene. The doctor could give nc
description of the car Of its occupants
as he was too dazed. The party dashed
to this city and messages were sent out
in all directions to intercept a car with
three men and woman" but not a
clew could be obtained.

MILITARY TRAINING
QUESTION UP IN AIR
War Department Will Keep
Silent Until President Die
tates His Policy
Washington. Nov. -.

That the war Department will keep
hands off in the matter of universal mill
tary training unless asked specifically
for its views was the opinion in general
staff headquarters today.
Indications are that the President di-
rectly, or through Secretary Baker, must
sponsor the idea. else Congress will have
to ask the War Department for its sug-
gestions. IL was said that indications
now are that the military men them
selves would not attempt to urge such
training unless asked to do so by the
Secretary of War or Congress
Policy Much in Doubt
Staff officers profess to be in ignorance
of what policy the Administration will
follow. The general staff has made n
study of the subject and is ready to
present very definite proposals If these
are desired.
1t is possible that Secretary Bakers
an indication of the ADMINISTRATORS at
titude toward this subject
In his last message. Baker sidetraCked
the problem because of the war situation.
Since then It has been gossiped that the
President was in favor or a modified plan
of universal training, which would not
convert America into an armed camp
but which would give an adequate meas
ure of preparedness.
VIII Question March
chief of Staff March will be called
before the military committee when the
military measure comes up. But men
close to him indicated he probably would
not give any suggestions as to universal
training unless the committee specitlcal-
~ sought his ideas. In that case he
will be ready with concrete measures.
Thus far there Is little in the way Of
public sentiment to guide either Ad-
ministration officials or military men
The suddenness of readjustnent prob
lens has eClipsed this particular prob
lem Of the future. While the military
men believe the nation should maintain
such a system as a safeguard much will
depend upon the demands made of the
,ague of nations for police protection.
The question of how large a standing
rmy shall be maintained is likely 10
,rystallize soon. Thus far. however. both
secretary Baker and Chief of staff
March have declined to give any guId.
ance as to their position toward either
this question or the training matter.
