GUNMEN VISIT LACLEDE.
Operator MOorehead Held Up and
Station Robbed of $40

The local Burlington station has
again been the victim of holdup
men. At 12:15 last Friday morn
ing when Operator Moorehead
looked up from his work at the
telegraph desk he saw two auto
matte revolver pointed directly at
him supplemented with the curt
command to stick 'em up" He
thought for minute it was joke,
but when one of the bandits re-
peated his command with be
d quick about it. " added, he
decided that the best thing he
could do was to comply, if he
wanted to cheat the undertaken
out of a job.
While one of the robbers kept
their victim covered with his gun
the other one came inside and
taking the key off Moorehead's belt
went to the cash drawer and took
therefrom 500. 10, leaving SO pen
MES and a nickel, presumably for
the operator to resume business on.
Both men were heavily masked
and armed with automatic pistols,
The one who came inside is de-
scribed as being 5 feet, 8 inches tall,
black hair, weight about l85
pounds, wore black mask from
eyes to lower part of face, black
suit and black slouch hat.
A motor car was waiting for
them a block from the station i'll
which they drove rapidly away,
going west.
Mr.. Moorehead at once notified
Chillicothe, Brookfeld and Mead
vile and asked that a sharp look
out be kept for the robbers. When
the bandits reached Meadville they
are reported to have driven through
main part of town and turned
powerful spotlight into the business
houses examining them carefully,
then leave town, coming east
again, after the constable had
fired four shots at them without
effect.
In the meantime, Detective
Dowell of the Burlington had
reached Laclede and accompanied
by Lee and Donnie Duncan in
motor car took up the trail of the
robbers but was unsuccessful in
the hunt.
The next night the Wabash
operator at Macon was held up and
robbed of $50 and his watch, pre-
by the same parties
that operated here, Is the methods
were much the same. Other
stations which have been robbed
recently are Saxton, Bucklin,
Clarence and Armour, near st.
Joseph where the operator was
killed when he attempted to turn
out the light.
Just three years ago last Friday
nigth the local station was held up
by two masked robbers who took
500 from the cash drawer. At that
time w. A Cutler was night
operator He and Billy NARROW,
who happened to be in the station
at the time, were marched to the
yards south of the depot
from which place the robbers dis
into a field. MARROW was
also relieved of S. that night.

Stars Of the Game.
Adams, Stinson ana Smith were

FOCh Has Plan to Form Ring
to 0Verrun Germany if
She Fails to Sign.
BY United Press

BY United Press
PARIS. June 1S.-The Poles and
Czecho- SIovaks will join the allies
in throwing an iron ring around Ger
many, in case she chooses war rather
than peace. according to authorita-
tive information obtained today.
Marshal Foch's plans in the event
that the Germans refuse TO sign the
treaty. provide for rapid concentra-
ton Of this ring. with the consequent
overrunning of Germany from three
sides. The Poles would advance from
the east. the Czecho- -Slovaks from the
south and nearly a million French.
British. Belgians and Americans
from the west. while on the north
the British fleet would bottle up Ger
many's ports and complete her
economic helplessness.
Pressure of Allies.
The greatest pressure would, Of
course, be exerted by the allied arm
les now stretched along the Ger
man frontier, from Holland 10 Swift
zerland. Opposed to the combined
forces of the allies, the Poles and
Czecho- -Slovaks, the Germans could
muster no more than half a million
men, in the opinion OF French mill
tary authorities. More than half Of
these are now concentrated against
the Poles. Other regiments are dis
tributed throughout Germany, at
points where political disturbances
are likely A maneuvering army Of
scarcely 100, 900 men, under Gen.
Lutwitz. is now concentrated in cen
trail Germany II is this force which
would have 10 bear the brunt OF
meeting an allied advance from the
west
Without airplanes and with made
quate artillery and transportation
facilities. German resistance appar-
emily would be only nominal. Foch's
program. however, provides for in
vasion on the basis OF Germany's
maximum military effort.
Important ObjcCtives
While occupation of Berlin would
be one bjective-should it be nee
essary for the allies 10 advance that
far before the Germans capitulate-
the allied military authorities admit
that seizure Of the capital would be
important only through it's moral
effect. The main objectives of the al
lies, it is learned from reliable
sources are:
First. occupation Of those produc-
tive interests most vital 70 Germany's
existence.
Second, complete severance Of the
country from west TO east
Third, utter crushing Of Germany
from all four sides, as described
above.
! The principal work OF the Polish
and Czecho- -Slovak armies would be
occupation Of Upper Silesia, with its
/ important coal mines
The opinion prevails among allied
! military men that these combined
/ measures would leave Germany no
! other course than 70 sign the treaty
and that quickly.
