Robbers Escape in Car.


Detroit, March 2S,-Herding four
teen persons, including several wom-
en- patrons, into the layatory and the
vault of the West Side branch of the
Commonwealth State bank here six
masked bandits today robbed the in
stitution of $4,000 in cash and un-
registered Liberty Bonds which Off
cials say may exceed $65,000 in val
ue. Fifty thousands dollars in curren-
,y had been removed from the branch
to the main office on'y a few hours
before the hold-up according to J.
W McCausey, president.
Two of the men stood guard out
side the entrance While four entered
with the man at their head waving a
sawed off shotgun. Charles II. Noon
ey cashier. and Paul Mallick, his as
sistant, were ordered from their
cages and with several patrons forced
to stand with upraised hands while
the bank vault was being rified. They
were then ordered into the vault to-
gether with four OF the patrons and
the big steel door closed. Eight other
persons, among them two women
each with baby lin her arms, We're
ordered into the lavatory.
The bandits gathered up all the cur
reney in sight and escaped il a blg
touring car. Their machine was seen
20 turn west on Fort street. The
theory of the police is that they were
headed for Toledo and authorities of
towns on the highway between that
point and Detroit were Immediately
notified. s
II was several minutes after the
bandits left before the lavatory and
vault were opened and the imprisoned
persons released.

London, March 28.-British people
are rapidly regaining the average
weight prevailing before the subma-
rine, campaign, according to expert
opinion expressed to the World cor
respondent today, 1t is now conceced
that during the height of the German
submarine warfare, with the result
ant food shortage in Great Britain,
the average weight of the public was
decreased to a point hitherto un-
known in this country. Tailors have
noted increased male waist lines late
ly, and haberdasheres have sold more
large sized collars
American food Is responsible for
this gain in weight, particularly the
much -maligned American bacon,
which as the ordinary British con-
sumer does not understand, was heav-
ily salted by official request, so Il
could be kept for long time If nee
essary. This is one achievement placed
to the credit of American food, which
is now being mobilized in vast guam
titles to prevent the ravases of fam
inc in the war-stricken enemy and
other countries on the continent.

Their Disputes. "
tsy MORNING JousnAt SPECIAL LEASED wrssl


st. Louis, Mo-, March 2S.-United
States Senator Miles PoindeXter of
Washington, here today to address
the city club on the league of nations
said:
II am opposed to the setting up of n
super government which shall have
the power to enforce DEGREES which
would come in conflict with the SOW
ereign rights of this country. If the
plan as finally worked out provides
only for a free union of free nations
acting Independently together for
the preservation of peace, it might be
discussed on a very different basis.
1.-THE kaiser sought TO set up a
world government and there is not a
doubt that he believed it was for the
best interests of mankind. He pro-
posed to enforce peace and to sup
press the struggling aspirations for
freedom. Likewise the constitution
for league of nations proposes 10
enforce peace, to put the world in a
straight jacket and expressly provides
that the members of the league shall
guarantee the territorial and politi-
cal integrity of all the members
against every attack We are asked
to make this surrender and guaranty
to an alien league for all time.
Human society cannot be re-
tarded by being put in a straight
Jacket of this kind. If any such rule
had been enforced or could have been
enforced, we would still be living un-
der the eagles of Rome"
He argued the league of nations
was unnecessary because the United
States has executed many arbitra-
ton treaties serving the same pur
pose.
The Washington senator declared
that the military power of the United
States should be retained solely under
American control
Force he said, was to be behind the
league, formed on plan for gov
ernment of the world similar to the
relations of the states and federal
government of this country.
"If the league exercised the power
which IS to be conferred upon it un-
der the constitution" said Senator
Poindexter, "civi war within the
league would arise within a few
wears. and. if the league determines
to maintain it's power, as 1t well
might the war would be war of ex-
termination. of conquest. the blood
lest and most destructive that the
human race has ever experienced, not
excepting the war Just closed
Nations as well as individuals, Sem
ator PoindeXter predicted, will con-
tinue to have disputes and to settle
them bv force of some bind. and ner-
netual peace, he asserted, is an illus
| ion.
Neither the Monroe Doctrine nor
the Panama canal nor any of the vi
tai interests of America he added,
"can be left to the good will or gen
erosity of Great Britain or any other
! power, and still less to an alien
league of powers"

Paris, March as.-The league of
nations subcommittee held a meet
ing this afternoon, and tonight the
full committee sat until eleven O'Clock
under the presidency of Mr.. Wilson.
They talked of the change in terms
rather than of principles, although
one point made by Senator Knox re-
gardng the unwisdom of differentiat-
ing among the classes of signatories
is being given prolonged considera-
ton. Colonel House thinks the
whole peace treaty will be drafted by
Saturday, but he is almost alone In
that opinion.
Failure Is Predicted.
With the redraft of the proposed
covenant of the league of nations
practically completed, there is the
gravest concern over whether the
whole league plan may not fall to
the ground, a mass of wreckage.
The feeling is growing here that
President Wilson's failure to get rec
ognition of the Monroe Doctrine,
even in an emplied way, will cause
rejection of the covenant by the
United States senate, even if all the
other. provisions We're acceptable.
Also it is currently talked that re-
fusal of the council to include Jap
ans demands for recognition of ra-
cial equality in the immigration laws
of the league of nations may
cause the mikado's empire to decline
to become a signatory.
1t is stated on the best of author
ity that the American representatives
are alarmed over the situation, as
we'll as restive of the continued crit
icism of the part President Wilson
has taken in the leagues counsels. 1t
is said here, though there is no Of
ficial confirmation of it, that the
president will not attempt to influ-
ence the senate to ratify the cove
nant unless there is recognition of
the Monroe Doctrine. He has not
given up hope of getting such recog.
milton finally.
viii Abolish Blacklist.
I learn that within a day or two
it will be officially announced that
blacklists of German firms both in
and out of the empire will be abol-
ished so far as regards shipments of
foodstuffs into that region. This step
will be taken by the supreme eco
nomic council so that the Teutons can
avail themselves of credits built up
before the war and during belliger-
ency until the blockade choked off
all business.
This action in connection with the
agreement by France and Italy that
they are to pay for exports they get
from Germany in funds available for
Germany to use in buying foods, has
simplified the rationing problem. De-
tails are to be arranged this week in
conformity with the program sent to
Berlin this morning on which meet
