sage being sent to the sheriff's office
here, Sheriff Currin Nchol began to
comb the surrounding territory, send
ing wires to various places in the
hopes of intercepting the robbers.
Among the towns which was notified
was Farrell. The men who appre-
handed the negroes at Farrell were
also on the look out for a shipment
OF liquor, and when they discovered
the negroes, they believed at first
that they had caught the transport
ers. The goods was found in coal
car. 1t was disposed in two big
sacks and two suit cases. One of the
sacks was coffee sack with the
name Joe Gocio stamped on it. The
coffee had been emptied in the store
when the burglars decided to utilize
1t to carry away the booty.
1t is believed by local officers that
the negroes arrested are but two of
a gang of professionals which have
been robbing stores in various towns
in this section of the state for the
past six months, and have robbed
many stores among them the Lovet
and Pruitt and Hellums stores. Rob
berries at Dumas, Rison, and other
places are attributed to the gang of
winch the two negroes are thought to
be part.
Now Seeking Fence"
1t is believed that the gang operates
fro Little Rock, as that is where the
negroes said they lived, and as thew
were bound for that place when cap
tured, it is quite probable the belief is
gratified.
An effort was made by Deputy
Sheriff j. l.. McBurnett last night to
locate the "fence" in Little Rock thru
the Little Rock officers. One adj
dress given by one of the negro prov
ed to be blind one, but he after
wards gave an address which was
found by the Little Rock officers.
Several robberies in Little Rock
and North Little Rock are also attri-
buted to the gang. Little Rock Off
GERS will arrive today in an attempt
to identify the negroes.
I About two hours after the negroes
were brought back, the negro who
gave his name as Collier, confessed
to the robbery, and described how

The German national assembly will

President Ebert and Premier

The memorial drawn up by the
delegates on the way from Versailles
goes into all details of the situation
which would result from not signing

effects would not be as bad as these
that would result from yielding. The
memorial further says that invasion
and occupationby the allied forces
would be bound to have an instan-
taneous effect in quickening the
national spirit.
If the German national assembly
oredrs a plebiscite on the peace

Washington, May 29.-Training fo

and as nearly continuous as possible
in order that full wage-earning EN-.

expedient. For this reason the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education
does noe encourage vacations for

However, some men are being train
ed in institutions where courses can
not be arranged during vacation pc
riods. and. in addition the physical
condition of some men demand a
rest period. These two classes of
men are followed, during such vaca-
tion periods. the same payments to
which they are entitled while in actu-
al attendance upon their courses. The
Board, however, will encourage men
whose physical condition permits, to
continue their training during the
months the schools and colleges are
closed, by engaging in some occupa-
ton related to the formal training
courses they are pursuing Men who
are being trained on the job will be
allowed no vocation with pay. unless
their physical condition. according to
the advice of medical officer, re-
quires it.
