SEC. BAKER BACK AT DESK AFTER VISIT 10 fR0NI
War Department Head Is Ready to Use Knowledge
 Gained to Speed Up,

Washington, April 16-Steeled to the work ahead of him by personal knowledge of conditions at the battle fronts in Europe, Secretary Baker re- turned to his desk at the war depart ment tonight from his trip abroad, prepared to concentrate every energy on expediting the movements of Am erican fighting men to France The secretary, it is understood is not inclined to underestimate the peril that further German successes in the present terrific onslaught against the allied line might involve. There is no doubt however, that he be- iieve adequate measures to checkmate the German efforts, will come out of the pooling of all allied and Ameri- can resources under command of General FOch, the French commander in chief.
 Mr. Baker had little to say for pub lication on his arrival early today, but made this statement:
 "I return with a sense of pride and confidence at the achievement of the United States and allied troops tbroad that would justify many trips across the water"

WOUNDED SAMM|FS ANXIOUS TO GET
 BACK AT BOOBIES
Tell Many Tales of Heroism of Their Comrades Under
 Fire of Huns.

With the American Army in France April 16.-All the American wounded from last weeks fighting northwest of Foul have been taken to comfortable quarters in large evacuation hospital. They are being provided with the best treatment pos sibe, and every comfort and recre- ation is provided for them. All the boys are in good spirits and anxious to get back to the front line to join their comrades.
 "We are out of luck for a little while," said a western Massachusetts private today, "but we'll be alright socn and mighty glad to get another crack at the Boche for the injuries he did us" The boys in one company are loud in praise of one of their sergeants who held out against superior force of the enemy, killing four before he was shot in the head.
 The spirit of comradeship between the soldiers has manifested itself scorees of times, many of the boys braving the danger of shell fire and machine gun bullets in order to assist chums who were unable to help them selves. One corporal alone in Ia shell hole. attacked three Germans killing two and wounding one. He was then hit by piece of shrapnel in the leg: one of his comrades started tc assist him to the rear, but he refused the proffered assistance, saying:
 "Leave me alone and go back and drive those Germans back to their trenches" The companion left the corporal: but when he returned few minutes later he found the wounded man pro0ped m in a shell hole and throwing hand orenades in the enemy trenches.

BRINKLEY RA|DfD
 BY YEGGS;; BANK ROBBED, 0Nf BURT
Daring Robbery Made Dur ing Heavy Rainstorm.-
 3 Citizens Held Up.

Brinkley, April 16.-H. J. Nelson, a travelling man residing here, was shot and seriously wounded; Nelson. Jake Lamn and c. J. Willis were robbed and the vault in the Monroe county bank was blown by six yeggs who invaded Brinkley last night.
 The yeggs were discovered about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning, and were driven off by citizens armed with re- vOlvers, shotguns and rifles. Nelson was the only man hurt; it is believed. Officers think the six robbers are hiding just north of Brinkley and hope to capture them. None was recognized.
 An unusually heavy rainstorm, amounting almost to a cloudburs,, awakened many residents of Brink ley shortly before o'clock Tuesday morning.
 MT. Lamm and MT. Willis were go- ing to their stores to protect goods from the heavy rain when they were met by three of the vegas. They were held up, tied and forced into a corridor of a moving picture thea tre.
 Mr. Nelson, who was staying at a hotel. was out watching the storm clouds when he met three of the yeggs. He was called upon to sur render his money. Instead, he cal!- ed for help. His calls were stopp- ed by "a 41-caliher bullet from one of the robbers revolvers. The bullet entered the fleshy part of his should CT and ranged downward. Nelson also was struck on the head with the butt end of gun.
 Mr. Nelson was taken to the thea ire corridor and forced to lie on the floor with Hamm and Willis.
 Tn the meantime, series of eX- plosiors in the Monroe County bank had awakened other residents. and had attracted the town marshal When the latter saw three of the vegas he opened fire.
 The fire was returned. but the of ficer, reinforced by number of c,,' izens. soon made things too hot for the yeggs and all six fled. pursued bv citizens. The six men ran rorth and this morning they were traced for nearly Ia mile.
 All trains and crossroads are be- ing watched. Officers are confident that the six had no automobile or horses.
 The robbers obtained about $15O from the bank, having been frighten- ed away before they could blow the money vault inside the large vault. The $15O had been left outside the money vault to be used for change for early morning patrons.
 MT. Lamm lost about s200 and MT, Nelson and MT. Willis small amounts.

HARDY IN SUBSCRIBING

 ty Headquarters.

subscriptions are coming in very slowly today" said E.. Howell. sales manager of the local Third Liberty noon. However, we rather expect ed there would be a lull. and have made our plans accordingly. All the men and women who are so unsel- fishly soliciting. subscriptions to these government securities are pre- pared for the most determined part of the drive which will be inau- gurated the last of the week. They will see all who have not subscrib- ed if it is possible for them to do so. However, no good American should wait to be asked to invest in Liberty bonds. He knows the gov ernment needs this money to proper ly supply with ammunition, arms and feed his boy or his neighbor's boy. He knows this. and he should send in his subscription or hand it to one of the volunteers. To do otherwise is to much like seeing neiShbor at tackled by an armed hiahwayman, and not going to your neighbours aid. I don't believe any of our people want to be in this attitude"
 Withhold Figures.
 County Manager Frank Tomlinson and Director of Publicity T. J. Col- Her repeated yesterday that no more figures will be issued until "we have gone over the tor.' which is eXpecs- ed to be accomplished before the week dies. It is estimated that the total subscribed is little in excess of s9OO. O.0OO, leaving nearly $l5o,ooo to be taken this week.
