youths is in part, as follows:
The boys arrived in Lodi via a
freight about 1 a. m. Sunday morning.
Leaving the bumpers they looked
around the village in an endeavor to
obtain something to eat, intending to.
take the same train to Huron, from
which point they planned to go up the
lakes. Missing connections it was de-
cided to pull a job or two while wait
ing for another freight.
The first place entered was the Ted
Edwards shoe store, where six pairs
of shoes and a hatchet were obtained.
From there the three went to Keener's
pool room and attempted to jimmy a
window Keener was asleep upstairs
and heard a noise, which he paid little
or no attention to. The boys, however,
became frightened at this point and
went across to Roland's drug store,
but failed to gain entrance. Leaving
here they visited Seeley & Codding's
grocery and obtained lunch in the
form of cheese, crackers and candy.
After eating as much as possible and
depositing the remainder in the pool
room doorway, they smashed their
way into N. w. Hover & Sons dry
goods store. Entrance was gained by
knocking in door. 1t was here that
the boys remained for nearly an hour,
packing, several silk shirts, three suits
Of clothes, and about hundred neck
ties in three new suit cases, all of
which they took with them in their
fight. The R. X. Gamble grocery
also was entered, but nothing dis
turbed. This was just before daylight.
A little before this Keener heard
a noise for the second time, but think
ing robbers were working on the bank
next door did not Immediately give the
alarm, as his telephone was down
stairs and he feared bodily harm, if
his presence became known to the
holdup men. He finally succeeded in
notifying Marshal Fry, however, who
hurriedly dressed and drove up town.
| Spying a fresh automobile track the
marshal went in pursuit, thinking the
party had escaped in machine.
After following the track for 15 or
20 minutes he decided to return to
the business section, obtain help,
and notify surrounding towns A call
was also put in for the sheriff.
A few minutes later a message was
received from F. A. Falconer, who
runs a general store at Pawnee, stat
| ing that the men wanted were in his
place eating lunch. The boys had
| walked up the track from Lodi, a
distance Of about four and one-half
miles and had attempted to buy break
fast of ,Falconer, who used every art
at his command to detain them. Fry
and Constable Knapp Immediately SET
out for the store, arriving there but
few minutes after the quarry hac
left. n
From here the chase led across
.lfields and creeks until the fugitives
were sighted a short ways from the
i corners. Marshal Fry crept up OF
the three only to be met with {

Il rowly missed their mark. The mar

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

Subscribers living in the south
ern and western parts of the cOun-
ty will receive their papers one day
late this week, owing to the fact
that the electric power was off at
Medina from 2:3O until 6 o'clock
Thursday afternoon. Consequent
ly the Sentinel was not able to run
its press and missed all southbound
mails.
The trouble was purely local, the
company officials stating that the
break was caused by defective fuses
at the transformers near the fair
grounds.

Thursday noon it was stated that
Marshal Knapp's condition had taken
a slight change for the better and,
barring complication, it is thought he
will recover. s
Three Orville youths, Claude Blood,
alias "Red" Merritt, aged II, Harold
Halderman, aged 10, and Clyde Laws
renee, aged II, are in jail here, after
an exciting chase which led from Lodi
to within a mile and a half of Spencer
early Sunday morning, charged with
burglarizing Lodi stores and shooting
with intent to kill. During the chase
Constable Way Knapp of Lodi was
shot and seriously wounded by the
youthful robbers. .g

What was once the defiant citadel of
Prussian reactionarics has been con-
verted into democratic parliament.
There was n keen discussion in the
House over civil war In Germany. THE
Socialists proposed parliamentary in
vestigation, but this was mega tived by
the Minister of Justice, who later an
nounced that the damage done TO the
Berlin police headquarters amounted to
20,O00,000 marks.
One of the delegates, IIegrth C?), made
a speech in favor of the Hohenzollerns
and proposed that Prussia should re-
store the monarchy. The Socialists pro.
tested, but tho greater part of the civil
parties applauded the speech.
The Independent Socialists demanded
the confiscation of the private fortunes
of the former Emperor and his family.
Fifty-five persons have been killed
and 10 wounded in the riots at Halle.
Two hundred and eighty persons have

country in what form the Senate must
consider It.
Must he Open 10 Discussion
No one desires consciously to sur.
render tho Independence of the country
in order to secure a league Of nations
No one would wish therefore to present
an alternative in which there should be
pressure by reason of the situation upon
those in authority to mako such q sur
render.
What the friends OF the covenant OF
Paris wish, however, is that the cove
nant shall be examined with fairness
that the text of II shall be submitted to
just analysis, that the obligations Of the
United States arising under II shall be
stated and considered by the Senate and
the people as they would be construed
by n President and n Secretary of state
If tho treaty were made and as they
" ould be complied with by Congress
desiring TO perform the promises OF the
United States.
When tho treaty with tho league OF
nations in il comes back the present
msconstructiou Of wrat the obligations
of the United States are under the
treaty will come up for close scrutiny.
Then the friends of the covenant are
confident that tho obligations which the
United States is to assume under that
covenant will be clearly seen not to be
the dangerous traps they have been
voCifcrously proclaimed to- be, but will
appear as light burdens, which tho Amer
lean people viii gladly undertake in or

FRENCH COLLEGES hit
HARDLY THE GREAT WAR

Paris, Mar. 11.-That French in
tellectual classes have paid in lives
to fearful extent in the war was
disclosed In the casualty returns now
being analyzed according to profess
sions, is stated In the Paris journal
Intransigeant. The records show
that 6,227 Frenchmen prominently
engaged in educational pursuits have
been killed on the battlefield.
Paris alone, the paper, adds, has
lost 3,37S students OF different uni
versities and colleges, besides $50
journalists and men OF letters. The
figures for provincial France are
not yet available, but they are said
to be very large.
Since August 2, 1914, most OF
Frances great educational institu-
tions have been practically closed
down. only few elderly professors
and limited number OF younger
men, physically unfit for military
service, remaining to keep the lamp
Of knowledge burning.
